I'm Drunk. How 'Bout You? →[More:]I'm finishing of a six of Bud and I'm about to drink the two quarts of some alco-pop that I have in the fridge. I've got bourbon and vodka if things get tight. Even though I'm sitting alone in this room, I'm talking to crazy people and listening to loud music. It's just like a party. Except I'm not wearing pants.

Strange. For me too, it's just like a party. Except I am sober, and I am wearing pants.

what are you, a communist?

posted by jonmc 27 August | 18:00

The answer to that depends on how you shake my hand, and whethor or not you refer to me as comrade. (winks) heh comrade,

posted by seanyboy 27 August | 18:01

I'll refer to you as "pilgrim", just like the Duke and shake your hand soul-style like Superfly.

You know, you drunk people would be perfectly welcome to come enliven #metachat. I've tried flashing the crowd, but it didn't work.

as they say on fark.com: this thread is worthless without pictures.

Some Drinkin' Music (sendmefile.com, follow directions)

I've resorted to show tunes.

Then I threatened them with Barry Manilow. That did the trick.

more drinkin music (you know the drill)

I was drunk about 9 hours ago. Now I am sober and eating bacon and tomato sandwiches for the first time in almost a year, because the grocery store near my place started stocking bacon last week. The sandwiches are yummy.

But how is the tomato???

posted by mudpuppie 27 August | 19:27

I'm considering it, but I'm working my way through The Comic Strip Presents boxset and I don't want to miss anything, which tends to happen when I drink a bit. I still can't remember what happens after about 20 minutes into Braveheart. Did the Scots win?

I am drunk and that's why I'm going to bed. I wish the rest of you the best of luck. Good night.

Did I mention that you're all me best mates?

posted by dodgygeezer 27 August | 20:37

jonmc, didn't you quit drinking awhile back?

At least drink some water. A LOT of water. You will thank me in the morning.

I was drunk on Thursday night and I'm still kind of hungover. That's why I'm gently drinking a Rolling Rock and hoping it doesn't kill me.

Rum and coke here. My kid and my man are down for the night. Nothing like a stiff drink and a quiet house.

And Mrs. Miniver on PBS! Stiff drink, quiet house, old movie--jrossi's in heaven.

Hey! I am drunk and we had our fantasy draft today. I just got back.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you don't want to know.

Lamentably sober, although I got acquainted with some new wine varieties last night. Tonight seems like it requires a burrito, and possibly some sort of beer, and a good book.

Good for you. As much as I like the Thoroughgood tune, there really is nothing wrong with drinking alone.

how funny, I logged on with the intention of posting "I am drunk"

Third beer on its way down... lightweight here. The little gay cats are immobile and I'm too lazy to turn the godawful progressive jazz off. Damn local NPR affiliate; Saturday is for divas, damnit.

I'm drinking, but NOT drunk.

I'm drunk, but no longer drinking

No one's drunk on IRC? This is fucking bullshit, man. You people are all disappointments.

posted by agropyron 28 August | 02:31

I'm not drunk, but I was earlier.

posted by Eideteker 28 August | 03:15

I am not drunk, but I was about nine hours ago. Now I'm hung over.
