No, I *felt* like I couldn't walk, so I got up and tried it, and managed 
to walk around the house without any actual difficulty other than 
feeling kinda weird. I didn't fall over or walk into anything, it just 
felt like I was going to...

The way I see it, drinking is more of a spectator sport. It's fun to 
watch everyone *else* get drunk while you stay sober. (It also gives you 
opportunities for blackmail...)
