Maybe we're just getting old?
In case you were not aware, it was my buddy Dave's birthday on Friday, and to celebrate, his gf Marisa organized a surprise party at our friends Jason and Sonia's place.
Dave had no idea, and was genuinely surprised, so that was great. :)
After a few drinks at Jason and Sonia's, we then proceeded to a pretty cool pub around the corner (Dupont and Spadina area) called the Pour House (get it? it's a pun!!).
Anyway, since then, every single person I spoke to has echoed my sentiments of "I didn't think I drank that much, but wow did I feel awful on Sunday!"
No, really....
Every. Single. Person.
Without exception. And the best part? We mostly agreed with each other's self-assesment! "Yeah, you seemed fine" has been a common response...
The only possible explanation? We're getting old.
Shit.
I will now spend the next two weeks in utter fear...

You know what? I don't think you're getting old at all. The reality is you're tolerance is getting higher, so when you do actually drink a few pitchers to your self, you seem fine. I have personally witnessed you drink ungodly amounts of alcohol, (also, I've seen the immediate after math of you dropping someone on their face...) and right up to the time when you want to start throwing things in walls, you seem fine to me.
But then again, I was probably 3 sheets to the wind drunk myself.
Either way, you're not that old

I contend that I didn't drink nearly as much as you are suggesting.
I think it's more that my tolerance has gone down, but much like one's eyes being too big for one's stomach, my expected ability to consume hasn't gone down with my actual ability, which leads to trouble.
Sounds more like me admitting I'm old just makes you feel older... ;P
