Do wine coolers actually count as a “drink” anyway! :rolleyes: …more like a chaser, no really, try a margarita wine cooler w/ an ice cold shot of Cuervo gold ---

Hmmmmm… You mean to tell me that somewhere in the US, there is a drunk housewife, and I haven’t been called to the scene? Strange. ---

How about an update: How did the party go, Dragongirl? This brings up a subject I’ve thought about recently in re- a.m. drinking. Not someone like Dragongirl doing it once at home for the hell of it, but the dedicated guys who are out there every day. You look into certain bars early, early in the morning and you will see a few guys sitting at the bar, drinking. These guys are clearly regulars and they sit apart from each other, silently, staring at their drinks or the TV. Over the years I’ve seen this at quite a few of these places, usually at what you’d call “old man bars”. There’s one I pass on my way to the subway every morning and it took a while before I noticed- hey, the TV’s on in there- holy crap, there are people in there. I’ve walked by that bar at a quarter to 7 to find a couple guys in there. Could be night shift guys, but somehow I don’t think so. I’m not judging- none of my business if these guys are alcoholics or whatever, but jeez do they start early. If I was an alcoholic I’d definitely be sleeping in. How do these guys do it? ---

No way are you that messed up after 1 wine cooler. Did you chase it with 15 shots of Tequila? ---

I ordered a margarita at Denny’s once…it was about seven a.m. The waitress gave me a weird look and asked for ID. It was my 21st birthday. SHe didn’t charge me 🙂 ---

"Are you guys for REAL??? No, don’t drink alcohol at freaking 8:00am!!! " I guess you don’t fish or play golf. “All that confusion after one wine cooler? You must be an inexpensive date.” but I imagine a very fun one. "No way are you that messed up after 1 wine cooler. " I used to know a girl that was snockered on a beer, and passed out after two. after one beer, she wouldnt say no; to anyone, seriously. ---

Booze in the mornings, it’s all good stuff. There’s nothing quite like getting out of bed, going straight to the fridge and grabbing a beer. Very refreshing, especially when you wake up with “morning mouth”. No doubt some folks would consider this to be an alcoholic trait, but then, I hardly ever drink in the evenings. So, it’s just a matter of reversed timings here. When I meet up with friends at night and go to the pub, I prefer to drink water or Coke, and stay sober. Plenty of time to get mashed the next morning 😃 ---

A friend of mine literally _sipped_ a mixed drink I was having, and her face became flushed and she started to giggle. Seriously, by looking at the glass you wouldn’t have known any was gone. I suppose some of that was the placebo effect, since we tease her about her intolerance, but the face was surely red. So I beleive **drag** ’s state… ---

I know a girl who got absolutely wasted off of one beer. Granted, she chugged it, and now that she’s been drinking for a few years, her tolerance is much higher. But off of that one beer, there was no way she could have been described as anything but drunk.
