I haven't ever gone under the table. My head might have hit the top a few times but... lol

Most of my friends were guys back then, my parents died early so they put their wings over me like brothers. I was the 1st female in an all male resturant, so I had a lot of brothers. We still keep in touch, a couple died
I used to drink most of them under the table..lol..
I don't drink anymore so I am a lightweight.

I have always been able to drink nonstop. I could drink a gallon of liquor and be fine until I stop moving. If I stop moving, I am KO'd lol
But I don't drink like that anymore. I enjoy a few beers grilling out or if we are having a get together. If me and the wife go out, I might have a couple shots but that's it. Getting drunk lost its enjoyment when I started suffering two day long hangovers lol

 

[OldLady]

Herman's Hermits

David Lee Roth.

 

[PredFan]

When I saw Cheap Trick, my ears were still ringing the next day.

The absolute best live concert I ever saw was The J. Giels Band. It was before Freeze Frame and those hit songs they had. "Cruising for a Love", "Wammer Jammer", their live album "Full House" is what it was like then.

I agree, I stopped drinking almost 10 years ago..I do not miss those hang overs..
My husband doesn't drink anymore either..
Nothing is worse that a old lady all sloppy drink and acting like a young chick..
