I basically did this once.
Except it wasn't alcohol, it was molly.
The date was going poorly, because we were on different levels.
She said I was being egotistical, I apologised and told her I was ballin.
This was hilarious apparently, the date went smooth afterwards.
So she loosened up on her own dime, and all I have to do now is convince a drunk girl I'm sexy? Sounds like I hit the lottery.
Pre gaming it is a must in today's economy anyway. Sounds like she had a good idea but rolled a nat 1 in the execution.
Having a drink to calm the nerves is one thing, but spending several minutes taking shots of vodka before a date sounds like straight-up alcoholic behavior. Unless OP is greatly exaggerating, either she has a massive tolerance, or she would end up a drunken mess in front of her date, which would probably be much worse than a case of the nerves.
I'm pretty resistant to alcohol and numbing medications. I could do two double shots and just barely have the edge taken off.
Of course, I'd not even consider drinking to ease nerves, and there's no f'ing way I'd be doing shots in my car; that's a great way to get a DUI in most places.
If I knew my date hand just taken five shots in short order the first thing I'd probably ask them is, "Can I call you a cab?"
I'm not a cab... YOUR A CAB... whatsh werz we tulking abit
To be fair they said “5 minutes” but did not give a number of shots.
“s” implies at least 2, leaving some wiggle room that they where not accustomed to strong liquor and had trouble getting It down. 2 of them because they underestimate the effect of just one.
You don't "pound" 2 shots. I feel like that's a 4-5 shot minimum.
They also used the word "chug," which is almost certainly an exaggeration to some degree, but it certainly implies more than two, IMO.

Seriously this is a "...and this is their 15th anniversary" kinda story
I, too, always keep an open bottle of vodka in my car, accessible from the driver's seat. It's just common sense.
The vast majority of accidents are caused by sober drivers. Thank you for doing your part to keep our roads safe!
Of course! You dont want to be fumbling around god knows where for that shit! Its unsafe.
Exactly, that's why I keep it right next to my loaded pistol and bag of oxy
It's embarrassing when you go for a shot of vodka and end up with a pistol barrel in your mouth instead.
I was going to make a pun about Russian roulette with vodka or a bullet, but I realized vodka or bullet would still just be Russian roulette.
Happens all. The. Time.
You can put it in a water bladder and strap it to the sun visor. Now you have a handy straw and then it's as simple as taking a sip whenever you feel your vision go unblurry
A fifth of vodka, a loaded & unregistered pistol, a crack pipe, and a photo album of me walking by adorable dogs and not stopping to offer pets.
No meth pipe? No videos of you putting kittens in dumpsters? Fucking amateur
I know. I’m slacking off. My bad.
Probably my closest real life example to this was I had a breakfast date, but I ended up getting pretty drunk at a party the night before and showed up still drunk :(
I felt like an ass.
We went on a few more dates but then she suddenly stopped texting me. She messaged me like 2 months later and said there was a death in her family and she was sorry, but we didn’t set up any dates after that.
That was a rollercoaster of a story with a disappointing end.
It was disappointing, I did really like her!
But it’s okay, I like my now wife more than I liked her.
You were the distraction, and that is ok
Sort of reminds me of the time my friend fixed me up with a friend of his partner.
OK its not the same but we met up at a nice chinese restaurant in amsterdam and I immediately found my date very hot. We had chemistry right away! When the server came to take the drink order my date lean in close and whisper to my ear "only get a mixer" as she pressed two small bottles into my hand and then winked at me.
Turned out she is a flight attendant for klm and her purse was full of them!
This is why we should normalize committing societal faux pas and crimes on dates! Sounds like it was an incredibly fun time
I have not been on too many first dates, but I usually try to find something moderately illegal to set the vibe.
*the patter of seeds against stone*
“Yeah, they don’t let me feed birds at this park anymore”
Of course, gotta make sure you're not with a square or a narc
Yeah it was a wild for certain!

Marriage Material
So, is your wife single or what?
Women in movies: "Going to do a full blown date prep montage, complete with song and dance number, where I transform from mousy librarian to runway model over the course of 15 minutes. Come out cool as a cucumber and charming as a prince."
Women in real life: "Going to throw on a top and some jeans, half watch a Netflix special about serial killers while I curl my hair, then down a mug of hard liquor to build up the courage to look a guy I've got a crush on straight in the eyes. Try to make it through dinner without mumbling, burping, or mentioning that I'm on my period."
Absolutely love these "real life" women
Ok but if you're nervous, presumably there's an expectation that it might not go well...and then you'll want to leave...in your car...while all that vodka seeps into your brain.
Someone who openly drinks while they're sitting in the driver's seat can get a DUI from that alone. They aren't caring about driving drunk, I'd wager.
I'm not sure about every state, but as far as I know that would just constitute an open container. You would have to be over the legal limit with a breathalyzer or blood draw, or fail a roadside sobriety test to receive a DUI charge.
Again, every state/country is different
My date would be over if i saw that they are an alcoholic who drink and drive
Good luck getting laid in rural areas lol
Reminds me of a first date where I arrived at the bar to find her with her friend, polishing off their second pitcher of margarita. They showed up an hour early to get absolutely smashed. The server came over and gave me a look that screamed, "Run away and don't look back." It was a fun date, but a very short relationship.
