Ah the 80's

When I was 20 ish my friend Gabby and I used to come home from the clubs just plastered. We never knew how much we really consumed because guys were buying us drinks, we were buying each other drinks… well you get the picture.

It was the 80’s – big hair big parties. As Bryan Adam says "the best days of my life" Anyway-back to getting drunk: Being the brilliant individuals that Gabby & I are: To keep track of our alcohol consumption, we thought it very clever to throw a straw under the table every time we had a drink. At the end of the night, we tally the straws and Viola!! We have our answer.

Slight snaffu: Sometimes our drinks came with 2 straws. Then the rowdy guys sitting beside us thought it was funny to toss their straws into the pile.

All I really remember is that at the end of the night there was this humungous pile of straws under our table. It looked like hay! It was embarrassing. We beat it pretty quick before the waitress beat our asses.
