Drinking for others
I'm in the shower yesterday, when Mrs Schwartz comes in.
Mrs S: Mike called, and he sounds like he's in trouble. Call him right now. He said he's at Bogey's (local bar) and I think he's depressed or something.
So I call my friend.
Exador: Hey! What's going on? Where are you?
Mike: I'm drunk. (long pause) Where are you?
Exador: Are you at Bogey's?
Mike: I've been to Bogey's five or six times. (By the way, this is his regular bar, that he's been to thousands of times)
Exador: Are you there now?
Line goes dead.
So, with Mrs S prodding me with a stick all the way out the door, I drive to the bar and find my friend. Yes, he was drunk. No, he wasn't depressed. It was his first night off of work in a few weeks and he was celebrating. So we stayed there until about 11.

This is something I've done on a number of occasions. I have never been a melancholy drinker...I either get real animated or just go to sleep. But I have had many friends throughout the years that sometimes needed company, steady, reliable company, after a certain amount of drinks. Its what friends do. If it gets out of hand, friends also know when to say, "sorry, not this time."

Beer drinking mellows me out or makes me a bit giddy.
Whiskey or any other sort or liquor....
I don't drink liquor that often

Your local bar is named after a booger?! That's awesome.
