The rest of them were at the bar until 1 AM. I just don't get it. It seems like everyone except my wife and I lives on caffeine and alcohol, and we don't drink either really ever (a six pack lasts me 2 months).
I would say those three beers is a solid amount to drink. Any more then that and I'd consider myself "going after it" and feel slow the next day. Which happens sometimes, but not all the time.

It probably will happen next weekend when my fiancee and I are doing a long wine-tasting weekend in Paso Robles . I've been getting into reds quite a bit over the last year or two as my drink of choice, and two of my favorite supermarket winemakers are there - Justin and Daou.
