Reply #72: Drunk and very alert and clearheaded.

There's sort of that warm fuzzy semi-anesthetized relaxed feeling that you get with alcohol, but instead of the usual accompanying remote "I don't give a shit" feeling, I feel sort of perky and awake and very plugged in. I can see why artists like it. Two shots, and I'm ready to go to work on something. At least that's my take.

But if you don't like licorice, forget it! It's so licorice-y it makes your lips and tongue numb! :P

edited to add -- yes, 11, is way too early, but by 2, even the die-hard partiers are getting tired! :D
