I don't usually drink alcohol. I'm a lightweight and a sleepy drunk, too.
Yesterday, I attended the wedding of an old friend. One of the guests, another old friend who I hadn't seen in a long time, insisted that I should drink a little. He bought me a drink, and then another. After the reception, I went to the after-party.
Total drinks for the night:
1 small glass of champagne
2 glasses of mai tais
1 bottle of Smirnoff Ice
I felt a couple buzzes, but never outright drunk. Maybe I'm not a lightweight as I thought. Damn, I never drank so much at one event.
It was good.
