Nothing special. I just drink so rarely. I spent the day on a grammar project and a couple of lesson plans for next week. For dinner I walked over to the local Gay Mexican bar. I had the roast pork and tried out my Spanish with the waitress. I had three beers. Three I tell you. I am drunk and eager to turn the heat up all the way in my Junior Executive Suite and crawl under the covers. Another paper for tomorrow. ---

I get my drink on abut 3-4 times a year. It doesn’t take much more than 1 drink before I’m getting loopy. I feel you. ---

Well, I’m pretty sure you aren’t in Frederick MD because I’m pretty sure there isn’t a gay Mexican bar there. I’m not sure I’ve seen one, except in Mexico. ---

I like to get my drink on only when I know I have no place to go or anything. I’ve had a few beers tonight and I regret it already. Paying for it in the morning is a steep price. ---

It’s not fair. I’m on the emergency pager. There is no tipple for me tonight. And I could really enjoy a nice cold glass of Naked Grape Pinot Grigio, too. ☹ ---

Do you take requests for songs? I want to hear _La Golondrina_. It’s the one you hear in **The Wild Bunch** I think. ---

Alas, it is very difficult for me to get drunk anymore. Due to health issues I cannot drink as much beer as I used to and I don’t like the harder stuff. 3 beers won’t do it and I can’t get down much more. I suppose it is for the better, but I miss drinking… ---

Doing that in a Gay Mexican bar could lead to … adventures. No hangover! Still it was a rough night. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-am-drunk/485900.md?page=2)
