I didn't *mean* to get drunk at work last night....
One of my friends/regular customers didn't like a beer that another server had given her, and couldn't remember what it was, so I tasted it to try to figure it out. I couldn't, but it was tasty, so I offered to get her another beer and I drank that one, since it was already 1:30am and the place was mostly empty. And then I went to look at her tab to see what it was, because it was really good.
Yeah. I'd just downed almost an entire of Bezelbuth, a Belgian Strong Pale Ale that weighs in at 13% ABV. The website states that you shouldn't drink an entire one by yourself, and I quote, "Even at the smaller bottle size it gets overwhelming fast so grab a few snifters in front of a cracking fire with a beautiful woman (or man) and enjoy yourself."
The expression on the manager's face when I walked up and told him that, in about ten minutes I was going to be wasted, and I explained why.... it was priceless. Cleaning a bar while wasted is fun! Fortunately, it takes long enough that by the time we were done, I was sober enough again to drive home. Best night of sleep ever.
