I'm something of a lightweight when it comes to drinking. One or two drinks and I'm good for the night. I'm more of a social drinker than anything else.
Recently I dated a girl who was a big-time partyer. She would call me up and say,"Do you want to go out for a drink?" I naively assumed that meant she literally wanted to out for one drink, maybe two, tops. Dopey me. For a true drinker, there is no such thing as having "One drink."
That actually translated into: "Do you want to stay in a bar, drinking for hours and hours until closing time, and then go looking for a fast food restaurant that is open at three in the morning?"
It also meant I was spending a lot of money buying on drinks that I really didn't want.
I guess the lesson here is to only try to date people you have something in common with.
The whole time we were hanging out in a bar, I was getting bored and wondering when we were going to leave. But to her, we couldn't leave the bar until she heard those two magic words, "Last call!"
