rhetorical drunkosityness

[ysobel]

Should I do content warning for discussion of alcohol consumption? Idk. Consider warned.

Okay, so, like

when I have a drink at night (not every night, at most like twice a week, and I probably shouldn't be drinking on my meds but I do) I usually have rum or whiskey

tonight I finished up a bottle of rosé or however you spell it, but anyway it was wine, left over from an earlier time of having wine

and I *feel so fucking drunk* omg

wtf

like, with the rum, I know intellectually that I've had alcohol, and I wouldn't let myself drive even if I had a van I could drive, and I notice small amounts of reduction in pain (even with taking fewer pain meds to avoid bad collisions there) and some increase in chattiness, and I sometimes get sleepy, but I don't feel drunk

so why the fuck is wine -- and not, like, absurd amounts of wine, either, and not on an empty stomach -- how is *wine* making me feel *drunk* to a ridiculous level

not that I'm singing karaoke or anything, and I'm drinking lots of water to balance shit out, but

wtf
