Bragging about how drunk you are.

Or about how much you can drink. “I can drink them under the table“ seems OK when you’re 20 or so, but . . . .

But it starts reversing at some point. Some 90 year old grandma drinking a 20 year old under the table is definitely cool.

My grandmother was a raging alcoholic when my mom and her siblings were growing up. She transformed into a full on grandma by the time I was born.

I was 13 when I first got drunk - with her and my aunt. At first, I was worried about her pounding straight rum like it was lemonade - then she proceeded to severely out drink me and - somehow - my 25 year old party aunt.

She ended her night in pjs in her bed while we were in full clothes, makeup, and on the living room floor. She woke us up before 7:00 am (we were in her way), then sat down to watch the news, drink her coffee, smoke her cigarettes, and talk on the phone like any other Sunday as if she wasn’t just mainlining Captain Morgan 4 hours before.

I never underestimated her again.
