How come I can't get drunk

Vodka is my poison. Rum is a very close second.

A few weeks ago during a girls night out (I am too tired to create a link, just go to the DC page) I noticed that despite the large number of cocktails we consumed I was not feel drunk. You know, the dizzy headed, thoughts are a bit too slow, feeling no pain, saying things I shouldn't to Frenchmen kind of drunk.

I thought it might be due to some meds I have to take and sucked it up.

This past week while on holiday I spent four days consuming my two poisions on an hourly basis (just about). But I still felt way too in control. I just wanted to get drunk.

Then I was introduced to my new friend Jack and Diet Coke. Ahhhhhh, my intoxication took just one drink. The rest of the evening I was feeling no pain.

So how come my new friend can intoxicate me but my old standby's won't :sad:

Except for when I am on holiday I do not drink that often, maybe once a month or so (unless there are eGers involved, but that is another thread), so it's not like I am drowning my sorrows on a regular basis.

Will my old friends ever be able to work the magic that Jack does now? How do I get it back?

Sounds like an I.V. would work better for you.

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Let me detox from this week first and then we'll talk. I expect the educator's discount.
