Michael - non drinker but still a party animal

By my calculations, one drink taken anytime before 4pm is 1 1/2 to 2 times
more potent than those consumed after 4pm.

Anecdotal.... maybe, but I see this a lot. (self included)

but -- but -- it's always five o'clock somewhere!

Personally, I don't like drinking in the afternoons. With or after dinner is
fine, but drinks and lunch just make me groggy.

Michael and Steven weren't working today, a rare thing for both of them at
the same time, IIRC I've never understood how people (usually executive
types) could go to lunch and down a few martinis while talking "business"
and still manage to be talking, let alone about business, by the time lunch
was over. LOL

I used to have a sales job, and my boss was a two-drink-with-lunch
kind of guy. I hated when he decided to come with me to take customers
for lunch. He'd insist that I had a drink, and I'd tell him that if he
insisted, I was going to go home after the lunch because he didn't
want me seeing other customers while I was giddy or groggy.



Dancing on the table tops never got you extra sales, hey? ;-)

Heh. Drinking at lunch made me stupid, but not that stupid. :-)

Well, one of our Directors was not so clever. Years ago I worked for an
engineering company and the "sales managers" and a few of the
"directors" always went to the (same) pub every lunch time. One time Mr
F___ had one too many, got up on the table to dance and had his forehead
sliced open by the overhead fan. (He was well over 6 feet tall). Can't
remember how many stitches he had. Took him months to live it down.

Oddly enough, wine hits me harder and faster than the hard stuff.
Not sure why.

Red wine has a good chance of giving me a headache, almost immediately.
White isn't as bad, but I still have to watch what it is. My own bottles, I
know what I'm getting into. If I'm not familiar with the brands at a
restaurant, I have to be careful. If the only choice is "house wine" I go
for beer or mixed drinks instead.
