Quote:I plan on getting drunk; not really drunk, just sloppy. I don't do it that often so tonight, surrounded by family and friends, it sounds like a lot of fun :w00t:.
Just a quick update before I let this thread die:
I went over my mother-in-laws Christmas eve night and drank two glasses of white zinfandel and one I'm not sure what it was - these are normal-sized wine glasses mind you - and became completely intoxicated to the point I knew I shouldn't drive. My wife drove us home and strangely enough, I stayed drunk for several more hours before falling asleep. Obviously I'm not a wine drinker, but I find it interesting how drinking wine seems to affect my system so much differently than other spirits do. For example: on Christmas day in the evening, I drank two glasses of eggnog and two margarita's in succession and felt just a little "giddy," but nothing more.
All-in-all the holidays this year was a great experience for me. I've come to enjoy the time I get to spend with my family much more than any of the food, fancy attire, or even the presents - but they are a plus:). I'm suppose I'm fortunate in that almost all of my wifeâs immediate family, and mine, live in close proximity together so we can celebrate this festive occasion.
I hope you all had a joyous holiday also.
