Three Sheets To The Wind

I have been drinking.

Not like drinking to soothe my woes, but I have had a few adult beverages lately. Some of you may recall that I don't drink a lot. I would rather have a diet Sunkist. But, with this beverage consumption comes a revelation of sorts.

I am a cheap date (drunk).

Before surgery, when I would drink from time to time....little Miss Amy could put away 8 beers without feeling much.

New Amy...well, let's just say after one lemondrop martini I was lucky I didnt pull my dress over my head and run around screaming "look at my port".

After one drink I get "the flush". You know, where your cheeks start to turn red and you begin to wonder who turned the heat on? After two drinks, I might just make out with you. I know that some of you are now super excited to buy me a few in Chicago.

Watch yo self.

Today is Monday and Mr. Scale said 180.0.

Well I'll be!

  4. Considering I haven't had a drink in 6 months and my once mega tolerance is also shot to hell, I'll probably be right along side you doing the port show...Only 2 drinks to start kissing...I was always a 3 drink and 1 shot mimimum. :)

  7. My husband always says "one drink Jacquie can feel it, two drinks anyone can". I guess that goes for you too!

  10. Glad to see you letting your hair down! Port show would be worth seeing...I have been known to flash my boobs after a few (although I wouldn't do it here in Dubai where I would end up in gaol! LOL (probably a good thing as they are handing down low!). Lemondrop martini sounds yum actually

  24. Hahaha! I had my first post-surgery drink on Saturday night (coconut rum and pineapple juice) at a fabulous drag show, and I started fanning myself and complaining that it was hot and my face was bright red and burning up. My friends looked at me like I was crazy. Now I know I have company and that rocks.

  25. I was always a lightweight when it came to alcohol. The hubs loves it cause I tend to do things in "slow motion"!!!!!! Bravo on your weight loss sista!!!!

  26. You know if you told that story to a non-bandster, they'd have a whole 'nother idea about you showing your "port"...

    ;P

  27. ME TOO! The last few weeks have been a huge turnaround regarding alcohol for me. I too am now a cheap date. Two drinks is really about my max. I'm trying to learn to like beer so I can pace myself better....
