I got all my drinks myself and watched them being poured at the bar, so I know there was no alcohol in there, but it doesn't half feel like it. I was nervous to drive home.
Is this like a drinking dream?
I think this your natural loss of inhibitions once you feel comfortable in a situation. If you've read the Allen Carr book he mentions how children arrive at a party shy and nervous and then twenty minutes later they're running and shouting and having fun—all without drugs!
