Drinking

I bought a bottle of wine in preparation for the Mad Men premiere on Sunday. Before la bebe, I used to drink, like, a lot. I would drink along with Don Draper, as in, whenever he had a drink on the show, I poured myself a drink, team spirit and all that, and I would end up crazy drunk by the end. Usually I had no memory of what happened that episode, so I would have to rewatch it before watching the next week's episode so that I would have a clue as to what was going on. So I have basically watched all existing episodes of Mad Men twice. Then the freaking show goes on a hiatus for over one year, during which time I forget everything again. Damn it all.

Any hoo, once I got pregs I didn't want to drink and the urge never really came back (covered infra). I cracked the bottle open today, just to have a glass, and WHOO I am near drunk off of one glass. Actually after the first sip my esophagus and stomach felt all nice and fiery. Ah, memories of high school when I first got drunk! I actually didn't know what was going on. I was at Daewon (Palisadium, in Pal Park NJ) with a group of older FOBs from my high school that I never ever hung out with before. I only knew one of them, and he had convinced me to come out with them that night. Stupidly I said yes. At the restaurant, the FOBs ordered soju, which they seemed to drink all the time. Not realizing how strong it was, I had three shots and I was drunk out of my mind. One of the FOBs I didn't know had to drive me home, and the only thing he said to me the whole night was, "don't throw up in my car." So I didn't. I got home, to be met by my mom at the door. "Oh you look pale," she said. "Yeah, I think I'm sick," I said. I wobbled up to my room and laid in bed and drunk dialed the guy I wanted to go out with. Winner!
