Now, if this was just two couples and neither of them drank? I'd not drink.

Party... big group....or his wife drinks? No problem.

agree with this

I had dinner last night with a young woman. Shanahan's Steakhouse to be precise. I did not drink alcohol, the reason being it is the holidays, checkpoints are out, even if I did not drink to legally relevant levels the odor would be some indicia that would prolong my exposure to Cops were I stopped, and in my employment that would be unacceptable for many reasons.

The young woman I was with ordered a bottle of wine for herself. How she conducts herself is her own business, though I will note that she drove there and was planning on driving herself home afterwards. She consumed the bottle over the course of a two hour dinner. She is slightly built so it is likely that she was close to, or over the legal limit for driving at some point during the meal or during the next hour after, i.e. during her drive. I did offer to drive her or to pay for a cab. She declined.

Now here's the thing, her tentative plan for after dinner, which I learned of over dinner conversation, included attending an A.A. meeting.

This relationship has potential.

There is no relationship. We are acquainted, little more. I am older than her father.

Oh. Too bad there aren't any women with daddy issues, you might have a shot.

Especially alcoholics.

It may help your minds run wild to know that she is a stripper and that 15 years ago I prosecuted her father and that he remains in jail to this day with a release date in seven more years.

It helps a lot.

And how exactly are you acquainted with her?

I am told that she remembers me from the trial. I do not remember her. She would have been 6 at the time. We were formally introduced when she graduated from high school.

Why would she want to have anything to do with the man who was responsible for putting her father away?

Geniunely curious.

She spent 12 years plotting for this. Haven't you seen Revenge?

Kind of a Friday but without the responsibilities of Saturday.
