New Year's Story

Post Reply New Topic

OK, I actually did something last night / this morning. It wasn't really a party, my friend's house is more of a place people just stop by on the way to and from parties. As usual, there was smoking and some drinking. For the first time, I drink more than a sip of alcohol. Someone brought Bacardi over, one of the few drinks I enjoy. I mixed it with coca cola. They're small paper cups. I filled it about 3 inches coke and 1 inch rum. I had only two cups and was really weird. We ordered some Chinese while I was drinking my first drink, which really screwed with my head. The Chinese food gave me an odd stomach ache when mixed with the drinks. I drank my second one with Chinese. I walked really bow-logged for a few minutes, but evantually regained some sort of pattern. My mind stopped filtering what I said, I was brutally honest and really pissed off this one guy who everyone thinks is annoying. I pointed out every time he did or said something really stupid, more than most people. I don't really fell bad about that, I've been wanting ot do that for a while. Walking was hard, as my stomach felt weird. Luckily, I never vomited. The one guy there who knew lots about drinking wouldn't let me drink anymore, I probably should've thanked him. At the peak of tipsy-ness, I was thinking out loud and almost passed out on a couch. It took 3 hours of food and water to finally sober me up. I also did some fireworks, I chipped in on buying them before I drank. It was fun. My friend put a firework in a tiki torch stand and swung it around.

Most of all, I really liked the effect drinking had on my mind. My inhibitions were all askew and I seemed a lot more confident. I just didn't like the stomach ache and crazy walking and thinking out loud. I went to sleep at 3 and woke up at 8. I don't know if I'm hung over, but walking the half mile home form friend's house was weird feeling and my legs hurt some. I have a slight headache. I'm going to a family party today!! !

I definitely have a much easier time dealing with people if I have a few drinks.

The psychological effects of alcohol (i.e. loss of inhibitions) are linear with consumption but the social effects follow a definite bell curve. The first few drinks make me more comfortable socializing because I stop worrying about miscommunications and just go with the flow. If the people around me are also drinking then it works out pretty good, because they also tend to abandon tact and speak more plainly so there's less chance for me to misunderstand them in the first place. The problem is that eventually I lose my inhibition against stereotypical stims, and people lose interest once I start staring into space and rocking.

I'm happy for you! thanks for the details
you drunk aspie you!
Maybe next time you'll streak yelling i'm
sexy or something!

Had they let me drink anymore there's a chance I might've actually done something along those lines. Glad they didn't.
