yet I would have almost certainly failed a field sobriety test. I'm still struggling to see straight.

How well do yall hold your liquor?

2. Not well at all
That's why I don't drink much. One drink and I go to sleep. My boyfriend thinks it's funny.

4. Not that well anymore.
Don't really drink. Wouldn't take much to get me smashed. Oh, and tequila is of the devil.

6. Sounds like a 'heavy handed' bartender.
I 'Tended my way through college - I knew which customers wanted a heavy hand - but stuck w/ standards for others.

8. Yeah, my dad had gone there before, and said that they made em stiff
but I didn't take him seriously. I probably should've; he drinks regularly and he's not exactly a small man.

10. That really sucks, and I'd know.
I've been in remission from Crohn's disease for over two years. A limited amount of alcohol doesn't usually cause problems anymore, although I was pretty nauseous last night.

13. Well, I'm really lucky, my symptoms have sharply diminished recently.
I doubt that I will need any major surgery in the immediately foreseeable future. Now I just have to be careful what I eat. As I'm sure you know, it becomes rapidly evident which foods your body can and cannot handle.

If I had to have a disease, I just wish it could have been one that isn't so awkward to explain to people! :)

14. Margaritas vary widely in strength.
A well made margarita, with good tequila, is a fairly strong drink. However, some places pride themselves on "killer" margaritas, using cheap tequila & lots of it; Cuervo Gold is NOT a good tequila. Some even add Everclear.

There's a new restaurant in my neighborhood that sells pretty good TexMex. But I had two of their frozen margaritas--with a meal--& was hung over the next day. I'll go back for the food but stick with Mexican beer or ice tea....

16. Can you recommend any good tequilas specifically?
I'm a bit naive about different brands of alcohol.
