High horse or no high horse, you have to admit - unless you're drunk, people who are drunk SUCK to be around. I can't remember a time where the converse was true.
That is EXACTLY why I choose to drink at my wife's work parties. Not only so I can tolerate (or be numb to) the people around me, but so I can make them all uncomfortable.
You guys would HATE me. Milkman, you would surely wanna punch me.
I wish I had a video of this one time I was out with my wife's friends, and I downed as much wine as I could before the meal came. I knew every one there (for at least 7 years), but because they meant so little to me (they are awful people), I started congratulating the wrong people who were expecting a baby. I also screwed up who was married to who.
It was classic. I cried laughing the whole way home when my wife was trying to explain what happened. I was still drunk, so it was like she was telling a story about someone else, and I was just listening to the funniest story EVER.
aah, booze.
and - to keep it relevant - I like ice cold coronas with the lime. Canadian beer was sleeman's, but it seems like they've done something funny with the carbonation.
