Hmph.A girl was asking me about why I don't go to parties and drink the other day. She said it would probably loosen me up a bit. I told her that I was afraid of what I might do if I lost partial control of my actions. In case you're wondering, she already had a boyfriend. She's one of those instigator types, complete with friendly slaps to my knee.
Stop being stupid and ascetic/Christian about things. 1 or 2 drinks will be enough to "loosen you up" without taking away a real amount of control, you'll only lose high intellect at that point. Just don't have any more than that. They key is to know your tolerance and not overdo things.
