peer pressure's a bitch

Published on July 19, 2004 By Negrodamus In Misc

A couple of months after the tequila incident (my girlfriend, Greywar, and I went out to dinner. It was good food and during the meal we had a few beers. Actually, I only had 2 but I am a lightweight so I got a buzz anyway. Its true that I am quit possibly the cheapest date on the planet as I cannot tolerate even a modest amount of alcohol. Greywar on the other hand has a level of tolerance that is as far as I can tell unreachable. He is quite simply invulnerable to the effects of alcohol. So the only logical way to divide my weekends is to spend half trying to out drink him and the other half being crushed under some of the heaviest hangovers I have ever felt. Any way on this particular evening the poison was a pint of Single Barrel Jack Daniels (its 94 proof) cut with stupid. Greywar had an equal portion of Knob Creek (100 proof). Now I know some of you are thinking that the doses in question are not exactly record breaking, but I assure you that for me it was a folly of Jackass proportions. So, why do it?

Greywar pours a modest glass of whiskey.

ND: I thought we were gonna drink it all.

GW: Oh! OK fucker. You wanna go!?

ND: I just thought we agreed to drink all of it.

GW: OK we'll see who's passed out.

ND: Hey, you know if you don't wanna drink. . . I mean if you aren't feeling up to it . . .

We both top off our pints

GW: only one of us is gonna be conscious after this.

All I really remember was that I finished the copious amount of whiskey in my glass then went for the rest of the bottle. Greywar kept pace (taking it easy I guess) but seemed untouched be the rip roarin', load talkin', stumblin', mumblin', super duper drunken stupor that was whooping my ass all over the living room. Unless, you count Greywar's inherent amusement at the pain of his friends. Don't really know for sure but the story is this. I mumbled something about being hungry and wandered into the garage were there is NO food, and was discovered 30 minutes later passed out on the concrete floor. That peer pressure's a bitch.

Drinking one on one with greywar is a recipe for disaster (for everyone involved)... but it seems you've already recognized that fact... The most noticable effect of alcohal on greywar that I remember is when he got to a certain point, the auto pilot used to kick in... he'd be in mid-sentence and suddenly, he'd move out... you couldn't stop him... I think the first time I saw it happen, I was so confused by what he was doing that I ended up following him all the way home, mostly out of a bizarre curiosity... I just couldn't figure out what he was doing... There I was in the middle of a story that I knew he wanted to hear AGAIN (everybody loves my stories), and he up and left...

I wish I had ever stayed awake long enough to confirm that. As it is though I have only "next day horror stories" to go off of.

Perhaps this could start a set of theme blogs, all about greywar's alcohol tolerance as shown through anecdotal evidence. I'll have to work one up, soon...

I got a good chuckle out of this incident both as it happened and when you re-told it. Having your girlfriend find you passed out in the garage was priceless... BTW I found a good price on a gently used Catholic schoolgirl skirt on E-bay for you... you can wear when we drink so you will reminded of your tolerance level.

As long as Sangus isn't around trying to outdrink you at the same time. He might get confused.

Pot. Kettle.
Of course, calling this kettle black isn't really wrong.
I imagine he has some interesting stories about clearing the Fort, tho.
