I think I"ve been drunk 3 times since Christmas and that includes Krewe of Kringle, like a drunken parade through the french quarter. I drink a glass or 2 of wine most nights but I rarely even catch a buzz.
It really is just that when the time is right, I get fucking hammered, like black out drunk. When I was drinking so much that Mardi Gras season I was a weekend warrior only. I still went out with friends some during the week but it was 1 beer max if even that, usually I drank nothing Sunday up until Friday night, then it was no holds fucking barred! And I have some great stories from all that.
I can pace myself, I just don"t like to. At our wedding reception we had a keg plus all kinds of other shit. I had a buzz but I never got even close to drunk and still had a great time that day. Saturday was a fucking Beer Tasting though!!!!!! If there"s a heaven, for me it has a permanent beer tasting event there somewhere...
