「飲んだくれ」というのは、お酒を飲みすぎるのが習慣（しゅうかん）になっている人のことです。誰（だれ）がって？私です。あ、でもご心配（しんぱい）なく。アル中、アルコール依存症（いぞんりょう dependency）ではありません。この間、岐阜県（ぎふけん）の高山市を旅行して、あまりにお酒がおいしかったから、ついつい「飲んだくれた」話です。ここで5日間、ホテルでアルバイトをしながら滞在（たいざい）したおかげで、高山のいろんな魅力（みりょく）を知ることができました。だから、今回はChatGPTハルカちゃんにまけないぐらい、高山の紹介をしています。はっきり言って、京都より「推し」です‼

Are You 'Happy-Go-Lucky?'
Is there someone in your life who is always happy? Or maybe someone who brings you a lot of joy? If so, here are some expressions you can use to describe them.

For example, some people call their baby a "bundle of joy." The expression probably comes from the practice of putting babies in blankets, which makes them look like a bundle.

So not long after you were born, your mother could have said to a friend, "Would you like to meet my little bundle of joy?"

A person who doesn't worry about things going wrong and lives their life in a relaxed and happy way can be described as "happy-go-lucky." The expression was first used in print in 1672, but back then it meant "whatever is going to happen will happen."

So if you were worried about your first day of school, your mother might have told you, "Just be your usual happy-go-lucky self, and you'll make lots of friends."

If someone is very happy, you can say they are "as happy as Larry," an expression that comes from either Australia or New Zealand. Some say it refers to Larry Foley, an Australian boxer from the late 19th century who never lost a fight. Others say it refers to the word "larrie" which meant "joke," or to "larrikins," — young men that caused trouble in Australian and New Zealand cities.

So if you came home from school smiling because you had a good time, your mother could have said, "You look as happy as Larry!"
