I decieded I like to write with good grammar now...
The thing about social drinking:
In the end, it's the drinking that causes the scene, not the other way around. You grow to relish the buzz, regardless of the situation....
Once you're there, really there inside that "moment, with its neighborly warmth and conversation, it's hard to tell what's responsible for producing emotion. What's responsible for the light-headed feeling??
Is it the Molson, or the boy who is running his fingers through my hair? Are you chatty because you're drunk or because you're connecting with someone on a level that you have never experienced before?
To an outsider, the distinction is an easy one to make. But when you're seventeen and female, when you experience these feelings first and later only when you are drinking, it becomes a question of which came first, the liquor or the Chris or the Nick or .....?
