But as a long-time drinker, he makes the transition easily. Wine has twice the alcohol of beer, but it&#8217;s still half that of, say, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greygoosevodka.com\/\">Grey Goose<\/a>. Still, he can put the stuff away, so it comes as no surprise to anyone that at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amoebamusic.com\/html\/modules.php?name=Amoeba_Promo&#038;op=amoebapaloozasf05\">Amoebapalooza<\/a> last Sunday (which I miss) he finds himself staggering outside <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingkinghollywood.com\/\">King King<\/a>, slurring his words and slumping against the wall in a stupor. No surprise to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Except him.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight he tells us that he had four glasses of wine that night. Yes, just four. I&#8217;ve had three glasses since getting home tonight and the worst effect I&#8217;m noticing is an incredible need to edit for typos. And lately, I&#8217;m not much of a drinker. Dave could drink four glasses of wine and perform open heart surgery. And that&#8217;s without a medical degree.<\/p>\n<p>He knows himself. He knows his limits. He knows he wasn&#8217;t within a league of those limits on Sunday. He&#8217;s never blacked out, yet he remembers very little after ordering that fourth glass. He&#8217;s never collapsed on the concrete, yet he has a splint on his finger to remind him of the sprain he suffered after sliding off Brett&#8217;s shoulder. So what happened?<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t know. Understandably, he&#8217;s extremely curious. His last glass of wine comes via someone else. And this person has even mentioned &#8220;Roofies&#8221; in his presence earlier. Jesus, it doesn&#8217;t take <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billpullman.org\/film\/zero\/zero.htm\">Daryl Zero<\/a> to figure that one out.<\/p>\n<p>So the question is WHY? Was it a joke? Was it coincidence? Was someone anxious to throw Dave over one shoulder and have his\/her way?<\/p>\n<p>This stuff drives me crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dave recently switched from beer to wine.
