dC's advice column: holding your drink
dear dC,
I’m a smart, attractive working girl with a good pay check and enough men humming around me for attention. I like to go clubbing and enjoy the occasional blues concert as well. The problem is that I can’t really hold my drink…I can start off slow with a small screwdriver or apple martini, but post the second or third drink I’m usually flying pretty high and this has caused more than an embarrassing situation for me in the past. I recently had to be carried home in a bit of an inebriated state by co-workers which has resulted in a few (but irritating) office jokes….
Any advice from a alco-master like yourself?

Dear Tipsy,
Ok girlfriend, here’s the deal…people who cannot handle their drink, should NOT DRINK. If there’s anything I hate more than preppy chicks getting wasted on the first wiff of a tight rum and coke, is preppy chicks with some semblance of a brain knowingly making a retarded fool out of themselves. In case you haven’t noticed, you are gracefully and fortunately classified as type B.
Now as I see it, staying away from the fortified grapes isn’t really your forte so I’ll suggest a few other solutions.
• Mix a whole bunch of that aerated crap with anything alcoholic you drink
• Eat large portions of salty crap as you drink.
• Drink a lot of water as you drink (I hope this has not confused you)
Now each of these activities will certify you as a grade A loser, I mean who in their right mind would want to have a conversation with you as you’re stuffing your face with tikkas and red-bull?? This will also make you fat. Congratulations, you are now a certified social disaster; but hell, way better than finding yourself twisted upside down throwing up like an anorexic with food poisoning, all re-enacting scenes from the exorcist. Oh, and if you want to keep drinking, just listen to some robbie Williams and james blunt while you’re at it, it’s the kind of music which will kill your high no matter what you’re on.
Hope this helps.

Freaking hilarious man! I especially liked the line with the exorcist in it...i can totally picture some tiny, preppy chick bent over in the bushes. So glad I've had some stellar training in the drinking arena...
