parting shots
I've never been a drinker. Mostly because I hate the taste of alcohol. When I was a kid, and when my parents had parties at our house, my dad would let me take a sip of his beer. I suppose that to a kid, beer tastes awful, so I ended up not liking it at all.
Highschool, I didn't drink. Except maybe I took a swig off Patrick's beer when we were at a party once. My best friend looked at me with disapproval. College, nada. But Ian got me to drink Sauza Zaz, which I liked because it was sweet.
Bingo. I realized that the only was I will be drinking any alcoholic beverage is if it's sweet. Bailey's, Mudshake, Vodka Ice. No weird tasting, bitter beer for me.
As it is, I can count the times I actually got to finish a bottle or can of beer (two full bottles, one can). The first (and so far only) time I got drunk was when Den, Erin and I bought a bottle of tequila and had a round of shots. I think after about five I was philosophizing about life, and a few minutes later I was sleeping soundly.
Last night, my two brothers, my sister, and a few cousins got a somewhat full bottle of tequila and drank. I took the first shot (which was really just half a shotglass), then it went around to Miks, Nuks, Andrei and Dan. Lee and Otki declined, the former because he had an exam today, and the latter because... well, just because.
Two shots, and half a flute of red wine later, my head starts to pound. Still does, even though I've already slept it off. Goes to show that I have a poor constitution for alcohol.
Pulutan nalang. :D
