Liquid Courage

For those of you who don’t know what liquid courage is, it’s a little extra confidence someone gets after a certain amount of alcohol is consumed.  Now with that being said, you might see a lot of things when you go out that probably make more sense if you know what condition some of the people were in.  Here are things to avoid or help to avoid if you are a true friend.  Liquid courage will not get you a record deal.  No matter if you think you sound like Keyshia Cole and try to play every one of her songs in the juke box or request them from the Dj, to everyone else at the bar you sound like Keyshia No.  Diddy or Jay-Z is not walking through those doors to give you a record deal.  Liquid courage will not make you stronger.  So if you are 5’3” 105 pounds wet, just because after a few drinks you think you take the guy at the end of the bar who is 6’5” 240, chances are you might be calling 911 to have the paramedics remove his shoe from your butt.  Liquid courage will not give you sex appeal.  Instead of you thinking you are looking sexy and everyone is looking at you because you good.  What they are really saying while they are laughing is “Did you just that drunk chick fall?”  One of the only good things liquid courage does for you is gives you confidence to talk to that man or woman you have been looking at all night.  Depending on your condition at the time you make your move will determine whether or not you are getting that number.  If you are slurring and spitting in the person’s face as you are talking, you might or will get a drink thrown on you.  If you can compose yourself to look somewhat decent, you might lucky and get that number.

It’s amazing to see how much more confidence someone has after a few drinks.  Now what they do with that confidence can be hilarious as well.  Just make you sure you don’t hear these words the next day from a friend “I can’t believe you did that last night.”  Also make sure that if you do have liquid courage running through you system that you have ride home and don’t climb your drunk butt behind the wheel of a vehicle.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until the next time, stay cool.
