Definitely do not stutter as badly when I’m tipsy. All it takes is one good size Margarita and bam, I’m more fluent. Usually when we eat out, my husband enjoys a good bourbon on the rocks, so I’m the designated driver. I truly can take it or leave alcohol whenever we eat out. I drank very heavily in college—50 years ago—and woke up on Sunday morning and all I wanted was a drink. Scared the crap out of me and I stopped cold turkey for nearly 20 years. My grandfather was a mean drunk. That’s what I didn’t want my life to be.
