Last night I was uncharacteristically good at monitoring my alcohol intake. I was worried about the amount of rum in my drink, as I was most likely driving. I sipped, melting the ice before the drink was done. I have a bad history with being able to tell how intoxicated I am. Last night, though, I really seemed to stay sober after far more alcohol than I expected. I'd finish a drink, wait a while, walk around...and still feel quite able. I was not sure how I got the iron tolerance. Jen was fine most of the night, or seemed to be, until the "one for the road." Then all hell broke loose...well, not all hell, but she suddenly realized that she was already fine for the road and the last one...well, she was not feeling good.

This am we were both better than we expected to be. Even when I don't get drunk, I may feel hung over the next day. I felt 100%, and was baffled. Jen solved the mystery of the sober Jose when I mentioned I had been drinking coconut rum. I had a airplane-sized bottle of the same, and upon further inspection it was only about 20% alcohol! Rum is more like 40%. I had no idea...I thought I was downing rum, turns out the coconut rum was really more of a schnapp. Oops. I was accidentally responsible. Still - at least my sensor was in fact calibrated correctly.

Due to travel plans and a long list of errands to do today, we had to forsake our weekly hike and instead hit the gym together. I was fine, but Jen was hurting - still, she was a real trooper and did a tough workout. I didn't catch her taking shortcuts either. Sure we played last night, but we couldn't use that as an excuse not to work out today just because we felt bad.

You did far, far better than I. First time I've been that completely wiped at a party in many, many years. Consider apologies tendered, especially if I was offensive beyond reason. It was good to see you and I'm sorry we didn't chat for very long...

You were perfectly cognizant, inoffensive and articulate...and then suddenly, very quiet and unsteady. You did nothing to be concerned about, at least when I was there.
It was awesome to see you.

It's OK. By the time you wanted to hit me, you were physically unable to do so, so it all worked out.

I've had my moments, and outside of being wobbly I didn't notice you doing anything odd. I think Jack is full of it too :p

In case you missed it, he hit antarctico instead. And for once, Chris hadn't done anything!
