I'm going out with a co-worker of mine and a my supervisor this evening. We are going to eat at some resturant and we are going to comedy club.

Now here's the problem, my coworker (who is a virgo) wants me to stay out and have a drinks with him at the bar after the club. Am I alittle afraid ... um, yeah -- only because he said I can leave my car at work and I can ride with him

Since he's staying out late, I don't know i I'm confortable with that.

Reasons:

1. He will be drinking and he wants to drive too
2. He has a girlfriend and he gets a bit friendly when drunk
3. I really don't want to drink -- I don't drink at all actaully at the moment ...

So if I decide to stay out, what do I drink πŸ˜› What a mind kind of drink that only nondrinkers can hold down without throwing up?

A glass of wine would be good to drink--it's not too strong.

What kind of wine πŸ˜›

Bring your own car and limit your drinking.

But Prime, I don't drink so how do I know when enough is enough β€” I want to bring my own car but I'm afraid I'll get lost. However, you are right, if that idoits going to be drinking then its best that I do that.

long island iced tea is goooood, so are bahama mamas and mudslides, hehehe. if you're going to drink, you should consider malt beverages as they have a lower alcohol content, and i agree with aguaaqi if wine is your thing.

i just got a big ole bottle of bailey's irish cream for my bday. i can drink it straight. i think that's actually not a good thing. they gave it to me in a brown paper bag...maybe that's supposed to be some kind of sign for me.

wow, now vodka, there's something i could never drink straight. i can do ok with rum, but vodka leaves a sensation that i just drank rubbing alcohol in the back of my throat. it makes my eyes water if i drink a shot of it too slow. i learned a trick though, which is to close off your nasal cavity when drinking something absolutely disgusting and that makes it a lot easier.

oh, a beer bong. derr. actually i have never done that. i've chugged it through a funnel though, and at my party there was a nice contraption that had a funnel with two tubes coming out the bottom, and each tube had a spigot so you could compete against someone to see who could chug faster, and turn it off if you couldn't handle it. πŸ˜›

those first 2 games would definitely make me choke. no question. they seem like the kind of thing you have to practice at...maybe that's the point.

i've never played quarters. i think you explained it to me once, but i forget how it's played. strip quarters, hmmm!

the drinking games i've played are limited to fotch, kings, flip cup (hard!), beer pong, and asshole, but asshole was so long ago i don't even remember how. that's it. the people i usually party with don't require much aid getting there. πŸ˜›

i've been to places that take pong VERY seriously too and you have to know their rules before you even consider joining a tournament. i went to this place and they had a huge poster on the wall with their beer pong rules, and one of them involved making a naked lap around the house for the losing team, they weren't kidding. i was like, ok, if i was a pong pro i would definitely do it but as i have a fairly good chance of losing...πŸ˜›

apparently that rule isn't all that uncommon either.

a couple of drinks won't do any harm. just drink slowly and stop as soon as you start feeling the slightest bit fuzzy. n unless ur prepared to spend the night at his place, I suggest u both go in different cars.
