Let's see...3 pints. 1 tequila shooter. That's enough for me, especially around work people. We had our work Christmas party this afternoon. We had a turkey dinner which was lovely and then coffee/tea and desserts out in an atrium. The desserts were beautiful but i had no room! We had some door prizes and a few games that were fun, especially the "name that Christmas tune". I got 9 right out of 15 but some of them were definitely tricky. They didn't really play enough of the clip for a clue sometimes. Ah well, that was fun anyway. I did get a couple of gift cards. One is a $10 for one of the grocery stores and i got a $25 for the Sears department store! Result!

We all went to a bar after the afternoon. I haven't been out for quite awhile and it was fun but the volume was increasing by leaps and bounds and people were buying drinks three at a time to take advantage of the end of happy hour. I figured it was time to head home. Chilly! Brrrr!!!

Actually, this is the first time i've ever had a tequila shooter. I always reckoned it would be safer to avoid them. Tonight it was offered and i thought, oh what the hell but i definitely limited myself to the one. Wasn't going to get into that trap! I don't drink more than my limit most of the time. I will get feeling good but i won't get drunk and i especially won't get drunk around work people. I just don't like to do that, even if it's an after hours thing like this was.

This by the way, is Day 18 in 30 days 30 posts and it was a "whatever tickles your fancy" day.

Getting drunk at the company Christmas party. I won't preach because I have been guilty of that in my younger years. It's not something I would do now though.

Congrats on the gift cards!

haha when I was 18 and had worked in an office for oh..6 months, I had my FIRST office party. I got VERY TIPSY and when I knew it was time to go home..I ended up walking into glass doors HAHAHAHA. I did manage to get myself on the bus and home. It was late and went right to bed to sleep it off..not sure if Mom ever knew or not hahahaha.

I've had a few tipsy office parties, too but i prefer not to get too tipsy, especially when the boss is there (mind you, he bought the tequila shooter!)

My most embarrassing tipsy moment was having a lot of wine at a LobsterFest put on by our local Kiwanis, dancing with a neighbor and telling him that even though he looked like Caspar Milquetoast, he didn't act like him at all. Ooooh errrr.

('A milquetoast is a weak, ineffectual or bland person. It is derived from the character Caspar Milquetoast from the comic strip The Timid Soul.')
