I'm not a light weight

Dear Characters,

Tonight is the first night I've had several drinks. Compared to my friends I must say I'm quite a master. Not to inflate my ego but if this is the first time I've had three beers and my friends girlfriend is wasted after that many and I have to drive everyone home then that only amounts to one thing. I'm not a light weight.

Everything I do has everything to do with the fact that I'm not a light weight. I'm more into pulling my weight that getting interested in succumbing to the influence of chemicals. I'm more interested in being real than not real. I don't like drinking, as a matter of fact "Icehouse" is probably the worst thing you can drink ever. Booze is disgusting. I prefer the finer wines if I was to drink (seeing as how my 'no drinking' vows seem to be out the window at this point, may as well if I don't get drunk anyway). I'm actually glad I can think straight under a little influence. I don't have to worry about doing something I will regret. I no longer have the impression that being around my friends could lead to a small disaster.

Driving home was easy, it was like every time I drive.

Only I'm lying a little. It was different under the influence of three beers, I'm just a great actor when I'm under the influence (meaning I should still be sober if I'm aware). When you move your head a little too fast when you've had something to drink you notice a difference. Perhaps it is because I noticed the different in my perception that I was able to remain sober. I'm on high alert, I can not let the guard down. Adrenaline moving through the veins just enough to keep me so aware of my surroundings. Sure as hell impressed everyone. However, who is impressing?

People have wanted to see me drunk and they haven't made it yet. I'm starting to think that they will give up. If drinking means nothing then what's the point in trying to get me drunk?

However, I have a feeling that if I was drinking with someone special things would be different.

That statement alone proves to me that three beers makes a difference, even if I was the driver home because I was the most sober.

Sincerely,

The Character
