Have you ever not been able to tell if you're drunk...

[Haole Girl]

...even after drinking a lot....a whole lot?

:shrug:

That's weird.

[Redstone]

1. No, I haven't.

Redstone

[Haole Girl]

2. I know...

I haven't either...until tonight. Maybe I'm not drunk...but I should be. Maybe it's taking more than usual to feel that way. I don't know. I'm in a very strange mood tonight.

How are you Redstone?

[Redstone]

3. Doing, I'd not say well, but reasonably OK given the circumstances. Does that

make sense to you?

My shoulder REALLY FUCKING HURTS which is why I'm up so late, and Mrs R had yet another meltdown tonight, which is part of the reason why my shoulder REALLY FUCKING HURTS, but I'm looking at a possible career change which might be beneficial in several ways, including a reduction in the pain...

Interesting times, these are. Thank you for asking.

[Haole Girl]

7. I hate fucking meltdowns...

..don't you?

Good luck with the possible career change...and shoulder....have you ever tried Axe Brand Universal Oil? It's great for aches and pains! :hug:

4. I've never been drunk, so I'm not sure if I'd not notice

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. You don't drink and you don't smoke weed?

And you call yourself a Canadian. :P

9. Not even hockey?!

Move to Utah, dammit! :D

[ghostsofgiants]

10. If SLC Punk has taught me anything, it's that Utah sucks, haha.

That also reminds me of something a friend of mine (I think it was DUer namenotneeded actually) said to me about straight edge: "It's like being Mormon, but with better music."

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Okay, alcohol and hockey I understand.

But with your hair and your music, you don't smoke weed? :smoke:

[Haole Girl]

13. Hey, are you hi-jacking my thread?

This is not a week thread!

:hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. Yes, I am!

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

16. OK, I've been meaning to use this on someone...

(believe me, that was not easy to find)

[ghostsofgiants]

18. Haha, that's pretty funny.

[ghostsofgiants]

17. Never touched the stuff. I've been straight edge since 15

And never even really touched alcohol before that.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. I wish I had your discipline.

But if you ever change your mind, swing by NYC. :toast: :smoke:

[lildreamer316]

6. Yes.

Which was my body's way of saying that I needed to chill for a bit-by that I mean quit drinking for a few months.
This just happened the other day. Had 2 drinks and 3 shots, nary a thing.
So, I'm off it for awhile.

I don't drink a lot as it is, but did used to overindulge in my 20s of course.

[Haole Girl]

11. I think you're right...

...too much tolerance cannot be a good thing, can it? I need to chill...yes, that is it. Thanks.

[alittlelark]

15. Christmas parties w/ family.

We all know each other well, and I feel as though I'm still the same.... but after 4 glasses of wine I let it all hang out (as is the case w/50% of the relatives).


The recognition that 'You Are DRUNK' does not occur w/ comfortable family members.

[Haole Girl]

19. Yeah...

I've never had this much to drink and still be coherent enough to even type. I think it's the week I've had...it would take an Anesthesiologist to knock me out!

:rofl:

[Generic Brad]

21. What do you consider " a lot"?

A fat guy like me can have a considerably high alcohol tolerance.

[Haole Girl]

22. I've had four glasses of Irish Whiskey...

..the first two had some coke...the last 2 didn't.

I can feel it now...whew!

[Generic Brad]

23. Then I am guessing you are not an old fat guy

Normally I am a designated driver at DU, but not tonight. I felt I deserved some beer after working 10 hours today. Actually I normally work 10-11 hours a week day (I am in middle management). Since I have one day off next week I put in 11 hours today so I would not get too far behind next week.

Put it this way -- I have had way more than you but am still wide awake and alert without the benefit of any beverages containing taurine.

[Haole Girl]

24. It's not so much my size...

...I've always been a "cheap drunk" so it surprised me when I didn't feel it, at first, tonight. Must be testimonial to the week I've had. Hey, don't work so hard.......cheers! :toast:

[Generic Brad]

25. Working hard has it's rewards

I would like to think that one day it would manifest in the form of a promotion or a pay raise. Tonight I am satisfied with the beer.
:toast:

[Haole Girl]

26. Me too!

well, the Whiskey!

I feel very satisfied, right now...and warm. :toast:

[Generic Brad]

27. As long as you are not driving.....

Drink liberally!

[Haole Girl]

28. I'm not driving...

I would never drink and drive...seen the consequences (first hand) of others doing that...I won't even go there.
