how much alcohol?

ok you guys are gonna think i have the best job ever but in june i have been asked to volunteer to drink alcohol and take field sobriety tests by new police officers. the date just happens to be on my 1 year anniversary of surgery. here's my problem.... i told them that i couldn't drink very much(not like i have in the past at least) and now i wonder if i should drink at all. i really want to but i don't want to get sick or ruin my pouch! i know it won't ruin it but i'm just saying! anyway i'm thinking 1-2 drinks will probably do to me what they need it to so the officers can see what stupid drunk people act like! so what do you guys think? oh yeah it will be liquor not beer!

I have no advice...But that sounds like a ton of fun!

OH ITS A BLAST! AND MY HUSBAND WILL BE ONE OF THE OFFICERS TESTING ME!

No clue but the picture I get in my mind of this is cracking me up!!

IT IS SO FUN! SOME OF THE OFFICERS ARE ONES THAT I WORK WITH BUT THEY KNOW HOW CRAZY I AM SOBER SO THEY WILL BE OK WITH ME. ITS THE OFFICERS FROM OTHER TOWNS THAT I LIKE TO HAVE FUN WITH BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE ME. WHAT WILL BE EVEN FUNNIER IS THAT MY HUSBAND IS GONNA BE IN THE CLASS SO HE WILL GET TO TEST ME! I AM TOUCHY FEELY!

Ahem, I shall be the one to answer the question....it's not an easy question to answer since we are all different and I have been around others who have had surgery and we all react differently. (when you live in the islands, rum tends to flow like water and yes WLS folks drink....I have met around 40 from the cruiselines or casual vacationers...so party like veterans, others just have a beer).

A beer...not much will happen, but you will get intoxicated MUCH faster

a shot...well this is complicated.... my first shot hurt me so bad I had to double over about 10 seconds after I took it....  it doesn't hurt everyone, just certain people. after the first shot you're fine, but again, you will be drunk in zero time flat, so you're a perfect candidate for this test (they will save a lot of money on you as a specimen)  Another warning...a "double" will only make you sick...  so no doubles in quick succession.  My suggestion...take a shot at home (always chase your shots, never just take it straight or you shall hurt even worse)....know what the first shot is going to do to you before you know if it will embarrass you professionally...  unless of course, you've already been embarrassed then i say just have fun, get naked...er...um...wait you're married...ok no naked-ness...just umm have fun...ya ya that's the ticket occifer....

YOU CRACK ME UP!! I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T GET NAKED IN CLASS BECAUSE MY HUSBAND WILL ONE OF THE OFFICERS DOING THE TESTING( HOW FUN IS THAT GOING TO BE) HE KNOWS HOW I AM WHEN DRUNK SO HE WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH ME TOO! THEY USUALLY FIX US SCREWDRIVERS WITH JUST A TOUCH OF OJ. I WILL HAVE TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW HOW IT GOES!! IT WON'T BE TIL JUNE!
IT IS SO GOOD TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE STILL ALIVE AND WELL! I THOUGHT YOU HAD ABANDONED US! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT SUMMER AND DON'T BE A STRANGER!!

Me thinks you should stop at half a drin****il you know how it is going to affect you. It will hit you fast and hard. Let us know how it works out.

I TOLD THE INSTRUCTOR THAT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DRINK LIKE I HAD IN THE PAST SO HE IS PREPARED. I WILL STILL BE THE SAME LOVEABLE LUSH I ALWASYS WAS THOUGH!

Ok I will admit I have drank and well it doe**** me alot quicker and harder, but I have noticed when i stop drinking I sober up much faster than I did in the past. I will not admit to amounts I have put away in the past but will say the bottles are much smaller now! I might possibly try a shot or two at home. As for T. and his experience with a shot I didnt have that issue BUT I had drank before ever trying the shot.  Maybe try a drink or two at hoem with hubby before doing it in front of the new officers. It will definately take less than it ever did in the past! 

Oh yeah any of the new officers young cute and single? LOL


And T. Love you said rum wheres it at cuz this girl has discovered that certain  Fuze (lowcarb) mixed with flavored rums make a killer islandy drink that if made right tastes more like just juice and will hit you hard and quick since it goes down like just drinking the Fuze!   So whatcha think about sending me some as a house warming prezzie. JK have a great time in the islands my friend!
