You shouldn't be closing down the bar, young lady! ....is the rationale, I think.
Yeah, but...college! It was practically a graduation requirement at my school to close down the bars!

I just didn't realize that it would be okay to pay for postage at the machine and then drop it on the counter without waiting in line. I guess I assumed it wasn't "allowed."
it's not allowed in my PO.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Say you go out at 9, stay out till close (2 a.m.) -- 4 drinks is fewer than 1 drink an hour. How in the hell is that binge drinking? Craxy, man.
Yeah, I feel like we've done this math before - a woman who has a cocktail with appetizers, 2 glasses of wine with dinner and a digestive with dessert is legally binge drinking in the US.
And I could see how drinking that much every night might be a problem (for your bank account if not your liver), but for a fancy night out? I wouldn't drive home, but I wouldn't consider it a wild and crazy night of drinking either.

Our wings are not tired.
Holy crap. $12 is probably Manhattan prices, but I paid $7 in Queens!
I've never been happy with a manicure in CA that cost less than $18. My usual place is $22, and a mani/pedi is $45. Now that I spend untold millions on my dogwalker, I only get a mani/pedi about every 6 weeks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's not really a legal definition, is it? Just a guideline, I thought.

My dad's doctor thought my dad might have a drinking problem because my dad has one drink before dinner. My dad, coming from a family where even little kids drank wine with dinner, thought he was an idiot.

binge drinking isn't illegal, right? so guideline.

I had a situation like this with my psychopharm. It was a nightmare.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
God, I am SUCH a rules-follower, even when they're rules that don't even exist!
I am too. I have totally waited in line to drop something off at the counter.

My grandparents were teetotallers, full-on official one side, and just nondrinkers on the other. My family? My parents used to off most of a bottle of wine over the course of an evening, and dad would sometimes have a scotch on occasion. Alcohol messes with my mom's already bad sleep, so they don't do that so much anymore. My mother loves beer too, "for the burps." But is positively goofy after one.
I think the only time my grandmother had alcohol was by accident. It was supposed to be lingonberry juice at one of her ladies' lodge teas. It had fermented. So you had all these drunken swedish ladies who had no idea what hit them.
