When I Get Drunk, Who Gonna Carry Me Home?

What am I like with the drink on me?
I suppose it all depends.
How much I've drunk, where I am, the company I keep.
Sometimes maudlin, but mostly I'm a happy drunk!

The Maps went to a great blues gig last night, the kinda stuff in the video below. And then we went to a rock gig!

Happy times!

(And it's usually Herself that carries (drives) me home!)

Is Mrs. Map that strong? Or do you giggle along, on your tippy toes? :)

Not so much giggle as LAUGH OUT LOUD! :¬)

I've been carrying your sorry looking self when the drink is about you for many a year, why should I stop the now?

For the love of god, what would you be like if you ever graduated fae halfs up to full pints?

Clyde said...

I'll stick with the halfs and enjoy my sup--and find my way hime

Jimmy; Maybe when I get to your age?! :¬)

Clyde; We can all get maudlin when the right ingredients are present, but yes, I'm mostly happy, and hopefully, entertaining!

Stick to the halfs pal, I wouldn't want ye getting lost on the way back! :¬)

One glass of wine, or one pint of beer and my head starts to swim.

2 pints of beer and I end up with a hangover.

I would bet that the Missus has surely done her share of carrying!

I was a member of the Band of Hope as a child and I'm not happy with angry and querulous drunks.
Once at a fair in Yorkshire my mischievous son brought MTL one extra pint too many, and the locals stared when I grabbed it and threw it over the grass. Their faces were a picture!
