alcohol effects
Can't believe that skimpy amount of cooking wine has such significant setback to my mental system?! I slept for 11 hours last "night", which means I didn't wake up till almost noon today. Normally, I should be able to work extra hours the "next day", e.g. till 2 or 3 a.m., but now not yet 11p.m., I simply can't get my attention straight... my eyes are half shut...
Why not catching this moment to write some of my random thoughts about alcohol, which I had never given too much a thought to, at least 72 hours prior to this? Thus, whoever reads this blog entry this far can fairly presume that the present blogger has ridiculously poor knowledge about the ever growing or glowing varieties of alcohol as such "food" component has rarely been found delicious by itself.
Yes, 72 hours ago... at the night of pass-by Fri. It was an evening I hung out with my study partner after our serious seven or eight hours of study during the day. She is a lawyer-to-be, intelligent, caring, and wonderful in many, many ways. That evening when we had dinner together, she ordered a bottle of beer, which seemed somewhat natural to me as an "adult" way of relaxation. After dinner, I joined her in a church event, which was supposed to be a spiritual revival meeting but strangely not much Bible scripture studied. Due to some car problems I had encountered prior, she kindly suggested having a chat with me on that to get me better situated. Consequently, she took me to a semi-bar where she had another two glasses of wine... Me? Being a stingy student who does not find wine particularly tasty, I asked, "just water". (The bartender gave me a somewhat "unfriendly" look, which I said to myself "never mind!"  )
Something was different while she was to have her second glass... It was the way she talked and responded to my questions. It was just NOT exactly the person I felt or I saw during the day... Can't describe the exact difference...Maybe she appeared not as "deep" or "logical" in her expressions... That was not merely a strange but a scary feeling... which may partially contribute to the fact that I only knew her for a week till that moment...
The logic-- alcohol effects may "shock" (if not drive away) your newly-found friends. How about your close friends or significant other?
Two years ago when I was in a serious relationship... A good friend of my previous bf enjoyed having a little drink here and there, but his wife was totally, completely or "overly sensitive" about it, according to my ex-bf. My question then was-- Did he do anything awful or being out-of-control when he had alcohol? The reply was a straight no. So... one time just for fun, we even stealthily smuggled in a few bottles of beer (behind the wife's back) while watching late night movies. I was in the belief that the wife had alcohol phobia since a little alcohol sometimes wouldn't hurt... In fact, I even asserted that if she had let the option open, the reverse psychology would have made alcohol less attractive or tempting to her husband...
Well, I might have to modify my prior theory now that I observed that episode of my study partner... Suppose it was due to a similar sort of observation/experience, I could see why the wife would be so sensitive about it... because I would too... Unless your partner and you both get drunk together, it is not fair to demand that valuable time and attention from the sober party.
I shall rest my thought for today... It's over 12... BTW, I wonder whether a drunken person can type or not...
Note: In view of the extent of revision I have to make for this blog entry, I believe that a drunken person can type but with significant incoherence in words, sentences, and expressions. It awaits further empirical studies to determine whether the degree of writing incoherence positively correlates with the amount of alcohol consumption.
