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.

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.
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.
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.
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?"
Nerd!

Much worse for him.
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."
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.
Happens all. The. Time.
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!
So, is your wife single or what?

Marriage Material
This is why we should normalize committing societal faux pas and crimes on dates! Sounds like it was an incredibly fun time
I have not been on too many first dates, but I usually try to find something moderately illegal to set the vibe.
*the patter of seeds against stone*
“Yeah, they don’t let me feed birds at this park anymore”
Of course, gotta make sure you're not with a square or a narc
Yeah it was a wild for certain!
My date would be over if i saw that they are an alcoholic who drink and drive
Good luck getting laid in rural areas lol
She may have planned to cab back, it's unclear from the story
That's why she waited until arriving to drink? And then presumably the date lasts a few hours over which she sobers up?
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.
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.
Whats a bumble date?
Dating site for bees.
There's a lot of buzz about it!
Dating app where women make the first move
It’s not even that anymore. They took away the one thing that made it unique.
Bumble still has a userbase looking for different things than on Tinder. At least my friends experience is more relationships, less one-nighters.
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.
Women can still pay for the privilege
She sounds fun!
He totally would not have noticed that she was completely smashed.
