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.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] jedibob5@lemmy.world 12 points 36 minutes ago* (last edited 36 minutes ago)

They also used the word "chug," which is almost certainly an exaggeration to some degree, but it certainly implies more than two, IMO.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 44 minutes ago

Much worse for him.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 35 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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?"

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.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 58 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I, too, always keep an open bottle of vodka in my car, accessible from the driver's seat. It's just common sense.

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 21 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Of course! You dont want to be fumbling around god knows where for that shit! Its unsafe.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Exactly, that's why I keep it right next to my loaded pistol and bag of oxy

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 5 points 59 minutes ago (1 children)

It's embarrassing when you go for a shot of vodka and end up with a pistol barrel in your mouth instead.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 4 points 25 minutes ago

Happens all. The. Time.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

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

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!

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

This is why we should normalize committing societal faux pas and crimes on dates! Sounds like it was an incredibly fun time

[–] SanderZeldenthuis@nord.pub 18 points 2 hours ago

Yeah it was a wild for certain!

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."

My date would be over if i saw that they are an alcoholic who drink and drive

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 42 minutes ago

She may have planned to cab back, it's unclear from the story

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 17 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 hour ago

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.

There's a lot of buzz about it!

Dating app where women make the first move

[–] dogdeanafternoon@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

It’s not even that anymore. They took away the one thing that made it unique.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Thats because one company owns okcupid, tinder, bumble, and plentyofish.

They probably own grindr too. 20 years ago these services all acted very differently. Today they're basically the same app 4 times.

[–] protist@retrofed.com 2 points 1 hour ago

Women can still pay for the privilege

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

He totally would not have noticed that she was completely smashed.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

She sounds fun!
