Hey! Know what's kind of amusing but also pretty disturbing?
I can get the same sort of effect from not eating dinner and consuming a bit of caffeine (one watered-down Diet Coke and one small coffee) as I can from drinking two glasses of wine!
I don't really drink alcohol (except for the occasional glass of witch hazel). The last time I had a "drink" drink (several glasses of wine) was in May of this year. And before that, the last one I had was in the early fall of 1998. But I remember enough about intoxication to knows it when I feels it. (It's so glamorous!)
And I'm feelin' it.
And hatin' it.
No wonder I don't drink. (Never mind the calories!)
Yes, here is where I say, "Feh. Kaka." And crawl into bed.
Or lie down on the cold tile of the bathroom floor and pass out with my head squashed between the toilet and the wall. (It's so sexy!)
I feel green. Good night, Irene!
Jeez, you lightweight Jodi!
You wouldn't last five minutes in Britain. It's populace are a hard-drinking bunch, who down pints (proper 20oz pints, non of this 16oz sissy stuff!) all evening long. And that's just the women!

The only time I've ever asked anyone to marry me was after 8 pints (equivalent of 10 U.S. pints), of Guinness. If only I'd stopped at seven.
Had we ever actually got married, my groom's speech was going to start like this:
"Ladies and gentleman, I'm afraid we're here due to a slight misunderstanding. What I actually said after eight pints of Guinness was, 'Will you carry me?' "

Offered by: Jodi on August 30, 2002 08:59 AMI got ridiculously drunk in early May, at a George Thorogood concert in Florida. Damn people were selling wine in 16 oz tumblers - what's a Canadian to do??? I was poured home by my wonderful niece and nephew, and I've hardly touched a drop all summer. No, I'm with you. Intoxication is feh-kaka.
Offered by: Nancy on August 30, 2002 09:36 AMThese days I'm such a lightweight that one beer loops me out. Two and I can't walk.
And I remember the days when Seymour and I would drink 6 beers a piece and then start drinking 7&7's. And stay up until 5am. Or the time we drank an entire gallon of cheap wine BEFORE we went to see a band at 10pm (we started drinking around 7:30, I think.)
We were lushes, once... and young.
