    The polite thing to do in this instance is to get on her level by pounding your own set of shots.

      Yup, dating didn’t make her drink. Also I wouldn’t want to date someone who can’t function without alcohol.

        Theres a difference between “i need to drink before socializing” and “i may not have dated in a while and a buzz would help calm the nerves”. theres plausoble explanation for this.

          And there’s a difference between “I’ll have a sip of vodka to loosen me up” and “I’ll ‘pound shots’ and ‘chug vodka for 5 minutes’”

            She could have just had a shot and spent the 4 minutes making wrenching faces holding it down…

    If was me, she already would have some points in advantage since vodka is my drink of choice…

    I, too, always keep an open bottle of vodka in my car, accessible from the driver’s seat. It’s just common sense.

    My only proper post-bar one night stand, we got to my place, and the girl pulled out of her purse the largest bottle of vodka seemingly imaginable. It was like some disturbing Mary Poppins shit and really was an appropriate harbinger of everything that followed.

    There’s nothing entirely wrong with this. I cannot function in some social settings without a little bit of liquor. Just half a can of white claw is enough to open me up somewhat.

      Drinking a pint of liquor in your car before a social event is a pretty solid sign of alcohol dependency.

        Taking a twitter post completely un-sourced as 100% serious might also be a pretty solid sign of mental deficiency.

      I mean it’s meant to be funny, but in reality ½ a can of white claw and doing shots for 5 minutes are two very different things. Alcohol in volume is not a good anxiety remedy. Get help if you need to get drunk for social settings to be tolerable because becoming an alcoholic will make your life much, much worse.

          Or, and hear me out, OP is over-exaggerating for comedic purposes for content creation.

          Or do you believe every story a stand up comedian says?

          Do you think movies are real?

          Good way to put it. Like I’ve had benders but I’m not drinking to hide my personality, most times it just makes it harder to communicate. Like right now I’m on a bender. Weed is also great. Most times instead of liquor pick up some flower. I’m on both atm and its great, highly recommend.

    Reminds me of a first date where I arrived at the bar to find her with her friend, polishing off their second pitcher of margarita. They showed up an hour early to get absolutely smashed. The server came over and gave me a look that screamed, “Run away and don’t look back.” It was a fun date, but a very short relationship.

      the act of getting a date might be easier for women, but the chances of the date going well are not higher.

      Getting a date is a lot harder for a guy.

      Meeting up with unknown dudes met on the Internet is a lot riskier for a woman.

        Getting a date is a lot harder for a guy.

        As a non-fit-bro-adonis I have to out shittons of effort into my profile to make it stand out. It’s pretty grating when 70% of the women in scrolling through have the same generic-ass answers while also saying “I’m not like other women”

        • Thinks liking the Office is a personality trait

        • “Go on Adventures”

        • “Fluent in sarcasm”

        • States what their love language is

        • What I order for the table: “Chips and queso!” Or “Margs and queso!”

        • Simple pleasures: “clean sheets and coffee”

          I have a rule that there has to be something I find interesting or want to know more about in someone’s profile before I will message them.

          This immediately rules out about half the profiles I see.

    I basically did this once.

    Except it wasn’t alcohol, it was molly.

    The date was going poorly, because we were on different levels.

    She said I was being egotistical, I apologised and told her I was ballin.

    This was hilarious apparently, the date went smooth afterwards.

    So she loosened up on her own dime, and all I have to do now is convince a drunk girl I’m sexy? Sounds like I hit the lottery.

    As an alcoholic… that lady is an alcoholic.

    But could totally be a meet-cute for a really bad manga that runs for 74 chapters and then just vanishes.

    Probably my closest real life example to this was I had a breakfast date, but I ended up getting pretty drunk at a party the night before and showed up still drunk :(

    I felt like an ass.

    We went on a few more dates but then she suddenly stopped texting me. She messaged me like 2 months later and said there was a death in her family and she was sorry, but we didn’t set up any dates after that.
