When I go to parties I have to alternate a glass of wine with a bottle of water, otherwise, I end up napping in their guestroom. The Southern Brewer’s festival that is in town here each summer is out of the question. Beer + Sun + Hot Day = big time sleep for me.
Still, I like wine and beer and gin and tonics and margaritas. I just make all of mine weak. So, on Saturday nights, when my husband makes some margaritas, mine are half strength, even sort of a quarter strength. But guess what happened the other night?? Well, apparently there was football on the tv, while he was making my margarita, and he became distracted. And apparently I drank real grown-up people margaritas. When the room started spinning, he admitted to the football watching. So, I told him I was going upstairs to bed. I didn’t quite make it. When he came up from the basement computer room, this is what he found on the couch.

Awww that's a super sweet story! Maybe you just need to tote one of those blow up beds around with you ... you know, just in case. :)
You're so cute! You look like heroine in my feel good romantic comedy movies:) Meg..or Jen..or :)
Maybe you need more margarita consuming practice...
Awww, you both look so sweet. I know what you mean. I too have difficulties in the alcohol department. The only difference between you and me is... I have my dog curled up behind my knees and my cat curled up in my arms! ;-)
Great photo. I bet Patcholi was glad that drink was too strong.
That is so stinking cute! a-dor-a-ble! I was never a drinker, I always went from the drinking part to the puking part.. nothing in between. I had a doctor comment when I told her that, "Well, that means you're allergic to alcohol" Who knew you could be? Sleeping is better..
Patchouli likes margarita Sundays!
I can usually handle a couple glasses of wine, but one beer will put me out.
aw. nice :)
My husband always say's I'm the cheapest date around as well. Since the pregnancy I just can't drink like I use too.
Also I LOVE Saturday being margarita night... I might have to propose this to the husband.
Yes I can relate to the alcohol putting you to sleep-I take it one step further-I enjoy it so infrequently that on one glass I can go from enjoying it to feeling drunk to feeling drunk in under an hour. Last time I had alcohol was one chocolate martini-we were with friends and within an hour-I felt hung over in a bad way (PS my husband shared it with me).
I said no more I hated the way I felt.
what a cute pic, i love how you are sharing the good stuff! non drinker here too, looped on a few sips, sick as dog if i manage to attempt a second drink... at least you are a peaceful drunk~
I think I would be the same drinking a margarita after my no-drinking pregnancy. I have managed a glass of wine and felt quite doozey too!
I think I love you....:) I have the opposite problem- my tolerance for booze knows no limits!
Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.. :)
Funny Pam... I am the same way. I don't drink much at all--but when I do, I'm always ready to sleep.. One time, when I was a much younger adult, my first hubby and I had a vacation at a beach motel.. It was one of the first time we had been able to get away from the kids for a night. We got some Whiskey Sours and enjoyed them tremendously... The first thing I knew --it was morning and the vacation was over. We had slept through the entire thing.... ha ha
Hugs,

Cute. I am a light weight with alchohol too. A full strength margarita would know me out too.
Aw, cute picture! Sleep after alcohol doesn't sound like such a bad thing!
Such a sweet photo. I'm the same way, a glass of wine, liquor, or beer makes me lazy and tired. That is not the way it was years ago, I might add ;)
Now I just like to have an occassional sip or two, but that is about all.

And the moral of this story is....stay away from real big-girl beverages, unless you have a cute kittycat to snuggle up with.
Oh that's hilarious.
Wow, you are indeed a lightweight!
I don't think I would even notice anything from one drink. Practice makes perfect! ;-)
Funny, the sun and a drink always make me sleepy too. You look cute curled up with your kitty.

Cute picture1 We need to build up your stamina a bit!
So Sweet. I always tell my daughter to watch her drink, you never know what someone might slip into it. You might want to take the same advice!
Mimi
Hey ... let's form a light-weights club. Um, we'll all get some extra sleep that way! :-)
Hee hee. I'm not a drinker, but I do remember in college (a loooong time ago) that one little wine cooler would make me dizzy and say stupid things.
Animals always make the best pillows.
Oh so cute!!!! I do that even without drinking.
Precious!
You and Alexis are two peas in a pod. One drink at a restaurant and I have to worry about carrying her out!
Such a cute picture:)
Alcohol hits me the same way- LOL! So cute that you husband snapped a picture of you!
I can relate! A very nice photo of you and your pet sleeping soundly.
You just need to drink more to build up your tolerance! Kidding!! :D
Such a sweet photo!
Adorable! I am kind of the same way. I have a threshold. Too little alcohol and I fall asleep. Too much and I am awake until all hours of the night. It's a tricky thing.
And kitten, as usual, finds the snuggliest nook in the house. : )
Really cute story.
Such a lovely sleeper. No drool to be seen.
Awww.... that's just the sweetest thing. :)
I'm totally the same way! A glass of wine just turns me all mellow. That is a great picture, though. Very cute kitty cat.
OH...you look so peaceful with your kitty all curled up!
