And I don’t have any need for the Czech Stop either! I live in south Texas, and I’m surrounded by kolaches (Shiner/Hallettsville area).

Hmm, you must be talking about Waco, and maybe parts of Dallas? I’ve done a bit of drinking in Dallas, but admittedly have only ever driven through Waco. I’ve never had to sign or swipe anything. The “private clubs” I’ve been to have all been Heights - Houston area.

I live in Texas! I’ve been to private clubs, in areas where those are the only places you can drink. Never ever has my ID been scanned. Not one single time. I mean, I’m a white lady, is this why?

I’ve lived in several college towns. For lots of years. I still have no idea who is doing this. Is this a DA KLERB thing? Because I’ll admit, my experience with those was short.

My ID has literally never been scanned in the 10+ years I have been drinking. Where is this common practice?

“some sort of larger conflict other than their own personal disappointment in not allowing themselves the full breadth of the high school experience would’ve raised the stakes...”

Seriously, chill. I actually like her movies, and so this audience is probably me? And most definitely not you?

“That miserable old buzzard” is the most perfect description I have ever seen of anyone ever.

Not even a side salad! Just the burger and bun!

Bless this thread and its Teen Girl Squad references.

Very interested to hear the answer on this one, since insurance companies are notoriously unwilling to provide any compensation.

Oof, I rolled my ankle super bad one Halloween when I was in college. I don’t attempt to do anything athletic anymore while drinking! 

Oh I love crappy teen music while I’m drunk. At least you put pillows down so you could be comfortable! 

Hey! You. I need to get drunk with you. This sounds awesome.

Yes but do you sing *with* her?

I had similar experiences growing up :(

Exactly! I did break two dishes accidentally, but that is not too bad considering where I was at!

Conversely, one of my drunker evenings was in Mexico, and drinking allowed me to not be as self conscious about speaking Spanish. Everyone thought I was fluent! It was one of the proudest (drunkest) moments of my life. My excellent rendition of Juanes at the karaoke mic didn’t hurt either. 

Just for anyone who needed to hear this today, alcohol is not responsible for your partner’s shitty abusive behavior. I had too much to drink hosting a bachelorette this weekend (safely at home), and my instinct was to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. (Not very successfully, but the point stands.)

I mean, that makes sense. There’s lots of uncharted territory in Westworld, it has a lot of potential. GofT had to end. Almost nobody likes endings (except me, since I appreciate lots of contentious endings).
