3 Beer Limit

Well, my alcohol limit appears to be 3 beer in a
6 hour period. Yes folks, one beer every 2 hours.



This past weekend, hubby and I decided to give
our brains a break, got a few beers and settled in
to watch some movies.



Soon after hubby is ready to hit the sack.
But not me, no way. I was feeling pretty
good. Why not stay up for a bit? I said to
myself. Why not have a glass of that wine
that's been sitting in the fridge? Big mistake.
So out to the kitchen I go. I take the wine
out of the fridge. The wine is not yet opened.
This could require some coordination but I
was feeling brave.



So I get the corkscrew. The first attempt was
a disaster. All I managed to do was put a hole
through the cap, the corkscrew simply would
not grab. Same deal for my second, third, and
fourth attempt. By this time I had managed
to whittle a little hole through the centre of the
cap AND cut my finger just a little bit on the very
sharp tinfoil cap. So I hold the wine bottle upside
down over my wine glass. Dribble by dribble I
manage to get a half glass of wine and a few
pieces of tinfoil. Probably best I only got half a
glass considering my current circumstances.
So off I go with my hard-earned, half glass of wine
and tinfoil sprinkles.



Next morning I get up with my headache.
Soon after, hubby gets up. I explain the wine
bottle episode to him. Hubby looks at me,
trying not to laugh in my face. "That's because
it's a twist-off cap" he says.
