Lesson forgot from my 20’s

Anybody remember in your 20’s you would give blood (or plasma) and be able to get a cheap drunk that night?
I gave blood this morning and when I got home from work I made myself a little rum drink since it is Friday night.
Now I don’t drink much anymore, but I am 6’3” and slightly north of 220, so it still takes some work to get me tipsy, but that one drink had me feeling it!!
I forgot about how that used to work.

Good times. I went and had drinks with the big dog of my company.

3 drinks and I feel like shit today. Getting old sucks

You guys are amaturs!

On the minesweeper I crewed on in the Navy we had a career 3rd-class Bosun Mate who drank a lot. One morning he was leaning over the side puking his guts out and I walked up and asked him if it was something he’d eaten. He looked up thru two bleary bloodshot eyes at me, then he looked away at the horizon and said “no…it couldn’t a been anything I ett, I ain’t ett nothin in three days!”

A sailor walks into a bathroom to take a piss. As he walks in, he sees a kid standing there. The kid looks up and asks, “Mister, are you a sailor?” The sailor says that he is and asks the kid if he wants to wear his hat. The kids nods his head and puts it on. A minute later, a Marine walks in and goes over to the urinal. The kid looks up and asks, “Mister, are you a Marine?” The Marine says, “Yea, why? You wanna hold my dick or something?” The kid says, “Oh no, I’m not a sailor, I’m just wearing his hat.”

Lol…I did that once, it was a different kind of buzz.

I rarely have more than 2 drinks, but when I do it’ll be 10 or more. Like I said it’s rarely and usually when I’m with my old high school buddies.

It’s been several years since the last time I binged. When I was in Chicago one of my friends from Oregon came out. We drank a lot that evening.

We were both sick the next day. lol. I haven’t done it since

I went to work for IBM as a tech after the Navy and because I already had all the security clearances I had Miramar, NTSC, NEL, Pt Loma, the Sub Base, Camp Pendleton in my service territory.

I enjoyed being treated as an officer and having the Jarhead gate-guards snap to attention and salute me every time I entered and left the bases. I guess ground-pounders are good for something other than doing KP and puking their guts out whenever our Amphib Fleet put to sea.
