But to me I saw the "drunk."

Then how much will get me where, and how fast, and how long can I stay there, and what will I need when to keep it going, and where will I be, and can I stay there if I can't go home, what will I need to do when I get to that other place, but maybe this time it will be different, right!
No, there was nothing normal about my thinking, and there were a whole lot of attempts at management from someone who so wrongly thought they were in control.

There's almost a joke in there... bunch of drunks walk into a store - dinner party? Me too. Looking at the back to see what will go best with your meal eh? Me too. Got the strongest? Me too ...
and here we all are as the punchline!
Sometimes you have to chuckle at the absurdity.

Yeah, my brain would work with the precision of a skilled craftsman when figuring out how much alcohol I would need for the weekend. Though man did my heart sink every time I didn't have quite enough for the night.

Yes, whenever I bought beer - before I started on the special brew - I always checked the ABV. It was all I really cared about. Anything less than 5%... well, only if there's nothing else. I was at a party and they had some 3% bitter, and I just thought to myself, well I'm glad I brought some better stuff. [Ate too much that day as it happens. (sigh)]

My plan was usually two tall beers to start the day. Then a few doubles of scotch and then wine to finish the rest of the night and the rest of the scotch. It wasn't booze I measured what I bought alcohol it was the affect it would have one me. What I needed it to do to me.
