It didn't even hit me until we were on our way to the hotel after the reception. Stupid....stupid....stupid

Yeah it's awful when it *hits* you and you're like....crap....it's too late now.....and BOWM you're drunker than you wanted to be. Rarely happens to me cause I rarely drink. But once when I was 19 I worked at this high end hotel, and our Xmas staff party was this huge do in the hugest ballroom, every table had like 8 bottles of wine on them for free. Table #'s were called for getting your food, just like at a wedding. So our table was called 2nd to LAST out of dozens of tables. Well, I'd been chatting away merrily (I know: doesn't sound like me, right?) and sipping away at my wine on an empty stomach for an hour, and people are refilling my glass, and when it was finally our turn to eat, I stood up from the table and began walking to the buffet, and it was like it was receding from me as I walked, and I was like "oh shit. now I'm gonna be horribly horribly drunk in front of EVERYone." so I walked very carefully in my slinky long dress and heels and I was being so careful to "act normal" (which is generally futile for me to begin with, wine or no wine) that I didn't really notice all the desserts I was putting on my plate. And I oh-so-carefully walked back to the table and sat down, and ate the horrible rich desserts, and stared around, and went home and barfed and barfed.
whoops.
Feel better muffin!
