So I just got back from being taken to a bar by housemate.  My first 
encounter with "drinking".  The initial drink was a shot of Jaeger, vile 
licorice-plus-rubbing-alcohol tasting thing, which the bartender paid 
for on the condition that I actually down the shot...followed up by 
another half-dozen various mixed drinks concocted by a very attractive 
gal (one of the drinks, with tequila, I couldn't even tolerate more than 
a sip, to entice me she held the orange slice in her mouth, but even 
then it wasn't sufficient to get me to do the whole thing).  Ended up 
only being charged $7 and change; apparently she footed the bill for 
most of it because it was my first time.

Personal reactions: the initial sensation when the alcohol first hit my 
body, as it's rather...unique, then immediately thereafter when a sort 
of warm shuddering hit my muscles, particularly arms, stomach and back, 
then quite a bit later, which is where I stopped drinking, when I 
started feeling a kind of dull lethargy that was my body beginning to 
process the stuff.  So as far as I can tell, I left the bar sober. 
Housemate was complaining that I'm too uptight, that I'm thinking about 
it too much and killing the buzz, that I need to relax...

Meh.
