I don't know if anyone ever started this sort of thread before, but some of the things that are now humorous seemed so natural before.
1. A six-pack becomes a single serving.
2. When the label on the medicine bottle says "alcohol may intensify this effect" you need to prove it.
3. You develop tests such as being able to walk to the door of the bar without stumbling to decide whether you're too drunk to drive.
4. When to quit drining you go to your favorite bar and tell them not to serve you alcohol. A couple of weeks later you go back to reverse that order and they listen to you.
5. You can go to bars or restaurants in multiple states, on opposite shores of the country, and in all of them, before you get to your seat, your drink is waiting.
6. you spend $70 on two bottles of your favorite scotch, bring them to your favorite bar for everyone to drink just to convince the bar owner to stock it, so you can spend $15 per glass to drink it there whenever you want.
7. You actually drink Andong Soju in quantities enough to get drunk. (this one may be obscure, but Andong Soju is not usually considered a fine tasting beverage by the western palate). One reviewer, http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Asia/South_Korea/Kyongsang_bukto/Andong-1066402/Shopping-Andong-R-1.html calls it "Lighter fluid for the loved ones". Enough said.
8. You watch 28 Days, and find yourself saying "But I did that".
Well, that's my starter list. Feel free to laugh and to add.
