Having a drink to calm the nerves is one thing, but spending several minutes taking shots of vodka before a date sounds like straight-up alcoholic behavior. Unless OP is greatly exaggerating, either she has a massive tolerance, or she would end up a drunken mess in front of her date, which would probably be much worse than a case of the nerves.
Much worse for him.
I, too, always keep an open bottle of vodka in my car, accessible from the driver’s seat. It’s just common sense.
A fifth of vodka, a loaded & unregistered pistol, a crack pipe, and a photo album of me walking by adorable dogs and not stopping to offer pets.
No meth pipe? No videos of you putting kittens in dumpsters? Fucking amateur
I know. I’m slacking off. My bad.
My only proper post-bar one night stand, we got to my place, and the girl pulled out of her purse the largest bottle of vodka seemingly imaginable. It was like some disturbing Mary Poppins shit and really was an appropriate harbinger of everything that followed.
Ok but if you’re nervous, presumably there’s an expectation that it might not go well…and then you’ll want to leave…in your car…while all that vodka seeps into your brain.
Ahhhh…
The 'Murican attitude that it’s ok to drink and drive…
Yup, people in, say, Eastern Europe or South Africa never drink and drive. Hell, even Canada has higher mortality rate than the U.S. for drunk driving.
I get that it’s fashionable to shit on America (and like 99% of time it’s justified), and I will not go as far as to say there is no drunk driving problem here (cause of course there is), but it’s not an “American attitude”
And if anything drinking culture has become less popular do to cannabis recreation legalization in about half of all states.
She didn’t drive, she’s sitting in a parked car. But sure, America is bad because of a random story that is probably made up. Where do you live that’s perfect, I’d love to move there.
It’s safe to assume that if she drove to the place of the date, she planned driving home as well.
30 years ago it was more of a “no harm, no foul” attitude. People would regularly drive around while actively drinking and mostly were not bothered.
Then organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving did a lot of lobbying and got politicians to make more laws and police to actively enforce them.
Now the blood alcohol limits before you can be arrested for DUI are fairly low.
And drunk driving deaths are also down.
Drunk drivers hurt other people because of their selfish stupidity
You’re fucking dense
Typical fucking yank. “I’m fine, so fuck everyone else” while being too stupid to know that you’re not fine.
I don’t remember saying that
Women in movies: “Going to do a full blown date prep montage, complete with song and dance number, where I transform from mousy librarian to runway model over the course of 15 minutes. Come out cool as a cucumber and charming as a prince.”
Women in real life: “Going to throw on a top and some jeans, half watch a Netflix special about serial killers while I curl my hair, then down a mug of hard liquor to build up the courage to look a guy I’ve got a crush on straight in the eyes. Try to make it through dinner without mumbling, burping, or mentioning that I’m on my period.”
The polite thing to do in this instance is to get on her level by pounding your own set of shots.
As an alcoholic… that lady is an alcoholic.
But could totally be a meet-cute for a really bad manga that runs for 74 chapters and then just vanishes.
Yeah, the fact she already had the bottle in the car…
If was me, she already would have some points in advantage since vodka is my drink of choice…
Legitimate question - what do you like about vodka? Do you mix anything with it? I’ve never found one I enjoyed, so I am curious.
If served right, vodka should taste like almost tasteless cold liquid with just a little bitterness in it. Refreshing drink, if you ask me. It also a great appetitive for some dishes.
She sounds fun!
