Funny you say that. New Years Eve 2005 we went out to one of those nice sit down dinners with all you can drink at a plush hotel. Everyone is drinking wine, beer, champagne, mixed drinks. The guy at our table is drinking cup after cup after cup of coffee. OK, fine, I thought. He doesn't drink, no problem.
Then I see him an hour later downing shots of Jack like it was water. By 2:30 am at the hotel bar, he was the most obnoxious drunk I have ever seen (and I've seen plenty).
I’ve got a friend who’s one of the worst drunks I’ve ever known. Unfortunately he’s one of those rare individuals who is affected by alcohol differently than most people. It’s like a stimulant to him and he can drink for days without sleep. He gets drunk almost immediately though.
One good thing is that his license is long gone. Several friends and I petitioned the judge when she considered giving it back. He wasn’t happy with it but he realized it probably saved him from prison as well as his or someone else’s life.
