Whoa dude. I like scotch too, but like, whoa. . .
To answer your question though, I don’t see it as “drifting away”. I look at it like “wandering off into the lands to make new friends”.
Good friends are always there for you. No matter what the time or distance. . .

A man with many, many good friends all over the globe.
We drift apart because our lives start moving in different directions. Kudos to you for re-establishing relations!
More booze for everyone! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! ::hic::
Monkey Butlers will always be your friends.
Friends don’t let friends post drunk. (Maybe that’s why they drifted away…)
Why? Why you ask? Because cities are so big these days that you have to travel 45 minutes to get to your friends’ place, if you have a car.
If you don’t have a car, then it’s “goodbye” to 2 or 3 hours of your day on public transit. So people don’t go out (New Yorkers not included).
Besides which, we live in a “cancel culture” (a term coined by Leah McLaren, whom I have never dated) where friends think nothing of calling you at the last minute to CANCEL your plans to get together and get drunk on Dewar’s – plans that you had agreed upon and confirmed repeatedly for the last 4 months. I’ll bet you’ve all done this with your little cell phones and answering machines and PDA’s. Shame on you. When you’re old and sitting immobile in a chair I hope your retirement home cancels your dinner because “something came up.”
We don’t live in communities all our lives anymore. We move. Bonds break. The thread of attachment is lost.
But don’t despair. You called them up, and actually met!! This is a major accomplishment these days. Do it again. Someday they will miss you. Thank heavens you weren’t sober enough to censor yourself in your post.
Mother Theresa was asked what the greatest problem was in the world today.
She said, “That’s easy. It’s loneliness.”
Too bad it takes the rest of us a pint of Dewar’s to figure that out.
