Many a Slip 'Twixt the Cup and the Lip...

We’ve all had a friend who just couldn’t hold his liquor. I think we’ve all been there. You bring a friend to a party, introduce him around, and then next thing you know he’s gone from sober to plastered with all the subtlety of a light switch. He’s dancing on the coffee table, spilling shit everywhere, insulting people and all he’s got to say for himself is, "drove my Chevy to the Levy, but the Levy was dry…"

But I was thinking the other night, wouldn’t it be funny if someone really couldn’t hold their alcohol... like literally. How sad would that be. Poor guy wants a drink, but he just can’t keep a hold of the glass. Tries to poor himself another and the bottle just slips right out of his hands. You’d say to him, "Dude, get a grip," and he’d be all shaky saying, "I’m trying man, I’m trying." He’s spilled booze all over himself, has just dropped another drink, and someone says, "What’s up with him?" Someone else shrugs, rolls their eyes and says, "Oh, that guy? He can’t hold his liquor."
