it turns out that a night out at the pub, with the right sort of people, is an expensive affair too D:
$70/dinner, then 4 other drinks because I needed the social prop
well, apparently I can drink 6+ standard drinks abd be mostly sober 0v0
whoa, 6+ standard drinks!
over the span of 5 hours though so it's not as impressive as it sounds
ah, a bit over one drink per hour. that's still pretty good though!
meanwhile the guys we were with somehow progressed to being really smashed
