Recognising Intoxication

Part of my daily work revolves around bumming off intoxicated peeps who had one too many for their own good. Liquid courage aka liquid stuuuupid. Ever since taking on a profession at a place of plentiful booze(what seems to be paradise for most), you seem to have a lot more discipline to cut yourself off when downing the stuff. (After work of course). That's when I knew my days of chug-a-lug and shots that were lit on fire were over. Urgh. I see Jekyll and Hyde types every other night. They walk in all sane, cheery and nice at first; thereafter their inner 'beauty' takes form of a beast after one too many. Funny how alcohol affects your brains, even funnier when you're laughing at their antics. Not so funny if you gotta cut them off and send them home however....

Recognising intoxication according to the good folks at liq com:

Asians get real red...like ripe plums, and the men think they're at some hostess bar..
Haoles think they rule the world...a bad mix politics, patriotism and booze...
Local Bruddahs start getting loud, some start playin the 'air-ukelele', others wanna pick fights...
Europeans...hmm...I must say they are pretty calm bunch...
Military peeps...sure they serve the country but have you gotta puke all over my bar tables every other chance you get? HOO-RA
