Having a drink to calm the nerves is one thing, but spending several minutes taking shots of vodka before a date sounds like straight-up alcoholic behavior. Unless OP is greatly exaggerating, either she has a massive tolerance, or she would end up a drunken mess in front of her date, which would probably be much worse than a case of the nerves.
If I knew my date hand just taken five shots in short order the first thing I'd probably ask them is, "Can I call you a cab?"
I'm not a cab... YOUR A CAB... whatsh werz we tulking abit
To be fair they said “5 minutes” but did not give a number of shots.
“s” implies at least 2, leaving some wiggle room that they where not accustomed to strong liquor and had trouble getting It down. 2 of them because they underestimate the effect of just one.
They also used the word "chug," which is almost certainly an exaggeration to some degree, but it certainly implies more than two, IMO.
I, too, always keep an open bottle of vodka in my car, accessible from the driver's seat. It's just common sense.
Of course! You dont want to be fumbling around god knows where for that shit! Its unsafe.
Exactly, that's why I keep it right next to my loaded pistol and bag of oxy
It's embarrassing when you go for a shot of vodka and end up with a pistol barrel in your mouth instead.
I was going to make a pun about Russian roulette with vodka or a bullet, but I realized vodka or bullet would still just be Russian roulette.
You can put it in a water bladder and strap it to the sun visor. Now you have a handy straw and then it's as simple as taking a sip whenever you feel your vision go unblurry
The vast majority of accidents are caused by sober drivers. Thank you for doing your part to keep our roads safe!
I like to take a shot every time I see a black car, gets me ready for work in the morning. Obviously I don't drink and drive that would be dangerous, I wait until I'm traffic lights.
Sort of reminds me of the time my friend fixed me up with a friend of his partner.
OK its not the same but we met up at a nice chinese restaurant in amsterdam and I immediately found my date very hot. We had chemistry right away! When the server came to take the drink order my date lean in close and whisper to my ear "only get a mixer" as she pressed two small bottles into my hand and then winked at me.
Turned out she is a flight attendant for klm and her purse was full of them!
This is why we should normalize committing societal faux pas and crimes on dates! Sounds like it was an incredibly fun time
Yeah it was a wild for certain!

Marriage Material
My only proper post-bar one night stand, we got to my place, and the girl pulled out of her purse the largest bottle of vodka seemingly imaginable. It was like some disturbing Mary Poppins shit and really was an appropriate harbinger of everything that followed.
Did she put it in your butthole?
No, that was a different girl, whole other thing. It just escalated quickly for a guy who isn't super the taking girls home from the beeeest honky tonk in Utah type. It'd all sound made up, but it's just how it accidentally happened. But I'm not divulging mostly because it'd probably be super vanilla to you freaks. (jk kind of)
Dating is fine. Alcoholism is tough.
Yup, dating didn't make her drink. Also I wouldn't want to date someone who can't function without alcohol.
I basically did this once.
Except it wasn't alcohol, it was molly.
The date was going poorly, because we were on different levels.
She said I was being egotistical, I apologised and told her I was ballin.
This was hilarious apparently, the date went smooth afterwards.
Pre gaming it is a must in today's economy anyway. Sounds like she had a good idea but rolled a nat 1 in the execution.
Women in movies: "Going to do a full blown date prep montage, complete with song and dance number, where I transform from mousy librarian to runway model over the course of 15 minutes. Come out cool as a cucumber and charming as a prince."
Women in real life: "Going to throw on a top and some jeans, half watch a Netflix special about serial killers while I curl my hair, then down a mug of hard liquor to build up the courage to look a guy I've got a crush on straight in the eyes. Try to make it through dinner without mumbling, burping, or mentioning that I'm on my period."
Probably my closest real life example to this was I had a breakfast date, but I ended up getting pretty drunk at a party the night before and showed up still drunk :(
I felt like an ass.
We went on a few more dates but then she suddenly stopped texting me. She messaged me like 2 months later and said there was a death in her family and she was sorry, but we didn’t set up any dates after that.
That was a rollercoaster of a story with a disappointing end.
It was disappointing, I did really like her!
But it’s okay, I like my now wife more than I liked her.
Ahhhh...
The 'Murican attitude that it's ok to drink and drive...
Yup, people in, say, Eastern Europe or South Africa never drink and drive. Hell, even Canada has higher mortality rate than the U.S. for drunk driving.
I get that it’s fashionable to shit on America (and like 99% of time it’s justified), and I will not go as far as to say there is no drunk driving problem here (cause of course there is), but it’s not an “American attitude”
Yeah, seems pretty clear that the drinking was done in a parked car after getting to the place they were supposed to meet. So not really.
Ok but if you're nervous, presumably there's an expectation that it might not go well...and then you'll want to leave...in your car...while all that vodka seeps into your brain.
Someone who openly drinks while they're sitting in the driver's seat can get a DUI from that alone. They aren't caring about driving drunk, I'd wager.
My date would be over if i saw that they are an alcoholic who drink and drive
Reminds me of a first date where I arrived at the bar to find her with her friend, polishing off their second pitcher of margarita. They showed up an hour early to get absolutely smashed. The server came over and gave me a look that screamed, "Run away and don't look back." It was a fun date, but a very short relationship.
As an alcoholic… that lady is an alcoholic.
But could totally be a meet-cute for a really bad manga that runs for 74 chapters and then just vanishes.
