First date mistake: Booze
If you plan on going out on a date this weekend or attending a party, perhaps you should consider having a “dry” weekend. Some people handle their alcohol with no problem. They know their limitations, they know what to steer clear of and what is safe. Unfortunately, some people are oblivious to their tolerance level and they pick the wrong time to get the hard lesson: on a first date.
I have been out with someone who got sloppy drunk and as fine as he was to look at, after the 4th drink he got really unattractive. He was the type to become obnoxious and loud when he had a couple of drinks in him. Although it was eye opening, I wonder if it was better to learn this sooner or later?
When you go out with friends, do you have a couple of drinks socially? Do you avoid drinking on dates?
Have you ever been on a date with someone who had too much to drink and their personality changed for the worse?
P.S. What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever you do, be safe!

@swiss ~ you are hysterical. Vanilla Cognac fits you.
@Lady – I buy NaVan. It’s $39.99 a bottle, but it’s worth it. Something I don’t buy often. Don’t care for MeKow’s (sp?) version.

I haven’t had a sloe gin fizz in years. they were good though. yeah I was sipping gin and juice back when but I don’t want any gin today. no can do. some years back some friends and I – in good fun – had a throwback liquor party. everyone was supposed to bring an old school drink. we had pink champales, cisco, boone’s farm and mad dog 20 20. I won’t lie. that strawberry hill still tastes alright to me. one lady pointed out a specific tattoo on her shoulder that she says was the direct result of too much cisco. we had a good time that night.

Ah, gin and MD 20 20. That bring back memories of my freshman year at college. I still remember my first hangover. Started out with gin and juice, then had a large glass of Coke and 151, and then took a couple of hits of the sticky icky. You know you are messed up when you close your eyes and the darkness is spinning! LMAO!!!!
