Where is the fun in not remembering? No fun stories to tell!

Though, I do admit to not remembering a hangover after one night of
heavy drinking. That might have more to do with falling asleep on a
friends futon and then having 1 or more of their cats falling asleep on
me. Being allergic to cats, all I remember is waking up and sneezing for
a few hours. How the fuzzy little beasts got the door open, we never did
figure out.

For me, alcohol removes the socially inept part of my brain that tends
to over think everything. I can sit around with strangers in public, and
no longer be worried that the people next to me are thinking I am
strange. They probably are, by that point, but it just no longer bothers
me. Physically, I get a nice warm feeling after a few drinks, and feel a
bit dizzy and slow after a few more.

As for drinking alone, the most I'll take is a spoon of rum in a cup of
tea, or just a spoon of whiskey, when I have a cold.
