I though I was too, but maybe I can hold my cider better than I thought to listen to AA.(

It's really strange but my alcoholic ability can vary depending on circumstances I haven't worked out yet.(

I believe it's been shown that how drunk you actdepends on who you're out with, how you wish to be perceived by them and how much they've drunk.
ie, my first Christmas party at work, I drank 3 bottles of wine over the course of about 6 hours and was pretty compos mentis, a couple of weeks ago out with a friend, 1 pint of cider and I was all over the place.

You can get people to act drunk just by telling them what they're drinking is alcoholic.(, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 12:05, Reply)
I've seen this done.Barmaid at my old local came to a party with us, she was reasonably merry, and was told that she'd been spiked with acid. She began acting as she perceived a tripper would. Sounds cruel, but it was fucking funny.

They did studies on it while I was at uni, gave half of us some alcopop the other half just fruit juice with something in it to make it taste weird. Then tested reaction speeds and things.

Not sure never read the article,but I think my reactions slowed and the short term memory result was worse after drinking.
Not sure if I had the fake stuff either.

That's true.I've done several jobs when I was really hitting the sauce, pissed out my face, and as far as I know nobody noticed. I managed the job too.
