When I drink, I'm kind of a high-functioning drunkard, but that's only because I don't want to make an ass of myself, so I concentrate part of what little brainpower I have left to analyze the situation and make sure I'm not being annoying or saying something stupid. I guess my anxiety keeps me just sober enough, for the most part.

This reminded me of two things. First, in regards to being high-functioning, I like playing video games when I'm drunk sometimes because if I do well I feel like it's a big triumph of coordination.

And secondly, I totally feel sometimes like I over focus on staying reasonable when I'm out with people. The "concentrate what little brainpower" part is funny to me because I feel like that creates a huge debt of drunken consequences. Several times I'll get home from drinking and like the first thing I want to do is just make love to the floor for a couple minutes. Maybe that's more of an environmental thing, like moving from a loud bar with lots of people around to a quiet home, it's such a big shock. Cause I would say when it comes to stuff like vomiting I can't really hold that in or it doesn't hit me so suddenly when I get home.
