In the 1960's, when cocktail parties were popular, my parents had a friend who got a perforated stomach. The surgeon found a toothpick from a martini olive. That's from just throwing them back!
Although I’m not drunk at the moment, I do have a nostalgic drunk story. When I lived in Prague, there was a tavern called Beer Factory, and at each table there taps where you could fill your own mug with Czech lager. There was an LED scoreboard that would tally up all the beers consumed by each table, and you could compete with all the other tables. My table with my friends conquered all the other tables, and had about 60 or more beers between all 9 or 10 of us. On the cab ride home I had so much to drink. As the cab was making a u-turn, I opened the door and puked during the whole arc of the turn.
How big were the mugs? Sixty beers between ten people isn't that much when you think about it. About six beers per person. I could easily put away six pints of czech lager in a relatively short amount of time.
I am drinking, I don't know if I intend to get drunk but I should be able to be on the level of banter in this thread.
I've had about 1.5 glasses of wine, which means I am pretty buzzed. But not drunk. How do you define drunk? How do you know when you are drunk and not buzzed or tipsy?
I've made a concerted effort to be drunk for this thread but I just don't feel like it's happening yet.
buzzed/tipsy: "i feel good. i think i'll eat a snack and go to bed." drunk: "I DON'T HAVE TO BE TO WORK FOR 4 MORE HOURS! LET'S FIND 12 MORE BEERS TO DRINK!"
