I've always said it's a damn shame that idiots that can't drink and drive screw it up for those of us that can.
Yep, used to love drinking, large amounts, never sloppy, never wobbly, never slurred speech (too bad), never couldn't be somewhat normal. Effects people
so differently. I'm not a big drinker except for golf and casino's and fishing.
I have a buddy I've known for 33 years, we drank at young age, like end of 7th grade on, he's been drinking ever since. He graduated from Harvard and Booth for MBA, all along while being functional semi-alcoholic. He drinks 4 night a week, been that way for a long time. I don't think he has suffered professionally as he has had great employment and consistent at 3 places since he was 22. He has had one DUI. I'm sure it has effected personal relationships.
He is beyond a functional drinker, he has his sh** together, but, he is the
worst drunk ever. He'll go from crying to singing to wanting to hug you to wanting to talk sh** to calm and quiet and back around the spectrum all over the place. I've always wondered
how after many many many years of practice and heavy drinking, how he isn't a better drunk........?
