Talking FORUM FUN FEATURE!!! Five Stages Of Tequila

The Five Stages of An Evening of Tequila in Playa

Stage 1 - SMART

This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject in the known Universe. You know you know everything, and generously want to share this limitless knowledge with anyone who will listen. At this stage, you are always right, and the person you are talking to is always wrong. This makes for an interesting argument when both parties have attained the SMART stage of intoxication.


Stage 2 - GOOD LOOKING

This is when you realize you are the undisputed BEST LOOKING person in the entire bar, if not the whole world, and everybody wants you. You can approach a total stranger, knowing that they want you and really want to talk to you. Bear in mind that you are still SMART, so you can easily engage this person in scintillating conversation on any subject under the sun.


Stage 3 - RICH

This is when you suddenly become the richest person in the world. You can buy drinks for everybody in the entire bar, because you apparently have an armoured truck full of money in the parking lot. You can also make bets at this stage, because of course, you are still SMART, so naturally you will win all your wagers. It doesn’t matter how much you risk, because you are RICH.


Stage 4 - BULLET PROOF

You are now ready to pick fights with anyone, and everyone, especially those with whom you have been arguing or betting. This is because nothing can harm you. At this point, you can also confront the partners of those members of the opposite sex who you’ve taken a fancy to. You can challenge them to a battle of wits, or offer to compare bank balances. You have no fear of losing these contests, because you are SMART, you are RICH, and what the Hell...you’re BETTER LOOKING than they are anyway.


Stage 5 - INVISIBLE

This is the final stage of your tequila experience. If you have made it to this point, you can do anything you please, because NO ONE CAN SEE YOU. You dance, buck-naked, on a table to impress the object of your affection, but nobody else in the room can see you. You’re also invisible to the person who would like to take a round out of you. You can walk through the streets, singing at the top of your lungs, because no one can see or hear you, and because you’re still SMART, you know all the words.

Isn't there a Stage Six: UGLY???

You know... when one eye is lookin' the other way, the chin has a glossy stickyness to it from run off, and your forhead is bleeding from a mysterious straw puncture?

I'm JUST wondering

By that stage of the evening...who's got more than one eye? I beat the sticky chin problem by cultivating the beard I currently sport. It's an effective accumulator. In the morning, you just have to break off the larger chunks, and stand under the shower for a while to dislodge the Klingons. As for the threats to the forehead & eyes, I deal with those potential issues by wearing safety glasses to protect myself from potential swizzle stick and umbrella injuries. Regarding the "Ugly" question, we're all 10's at closing time.

Luckily, I seem to always skip stage 4. Probably because I'm too busy with stage 5 to pick a fight.

Well....then again...there was that time on NY Eve........ :o

How about the "Best Friend" stage?
In my case, that's where everyone in the room is my best friend, the sister I never had (surprise to her), the brother I wish I didn't have, the one true friend, the love on my life (surprise to husband), my soulmate, etc, etc. I love everyone and am so happy to be spending time with all of you wonderful people--this is usually when someone says "get her off of me" or "who is this lunatic anyway?" or "watch out she's coming, she's going to hug". And then the tears start... final stage...asleep on the table. And this is why I don't drink tequila anymore, well that and the puking.

I hear ya!!!

I also tend to get like that too, Cindyrella. Everyone is sooooo nice and I'm just sooooooo happy to be alive and isn't this all just sooooooo wonderful ????? :p :p :p

It's all great until you have an early wake-up the next morning to go snorkeling or, even better, ride on a bus for 16,034 hours to Chichen Itza and walk around for 3 hours in the hottest heat you've ever felt in your entire life?!!! Did that last year. It was painful!!! But also worth it to see C/Itza......

Damn Bump, I see you are trying to push your knowledge of Tequila to the Doctorate level !!!

#4 brings back some great college memories... I sobered up before going to college so I was always the deignated driver/bodyguard for our group... i remember at least 5 "altercations" at the infamous "Skippy's Mistake" where I won the "fight" and never even touched the drunk !!!
A valuable life lesson learned early on... when drunk, don't piss off the sober guy !!!

in regards to #5... if we are ever studying Tequila at the same bar, Pleeeeeeeze give me some advance warning before proceeding to this level!!!
