Drinking and Miranda Hobbs

Apparently, it's normal to get drunk after only 4 beers.  This is really weird to me because it takes me a lot more.  I also drink a lot.  But watching Sex and the City, as I am doing for the sake of fabulousness, makes me wonder...  Carrie gets drunk at a baseball game after only 4 beers.  Four.  But they go out drinking almost every night, or at least we're lead to believe this to be true.  When they go out for cocktails, do they really just have a couple and go home?  Do they not drink to get drunk?

I guess New Mexicans really do know how to party.

I would still have a cocktail with Carrie Bradshaw any day, even though she's a lightweight.

And while I'm still on the subject of Sex and the City, and since I was a girl in the 90s and therefore have to choose which character I am, I totally am Miranda.  Completely.  We both have ex-boyfriends of the same name and, in this episode with the baseball game called "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", she gets pissed that her friends are only talking about men!  This isn't something I've ever necessarily done, but I appreciate the sentiment and have felt this way.  It's really hard to talk to women that only talk about men.  It's weird because my life does not revolve around who I'm sleeping with or who I want to sleep with.  For some women, that is definitely what it seems like.

"That's it, I'm out of here.  All we talk about anymore is Big or balls or small dicks.  How did it happen that four such smart women have nothing to talk about but boyfriends?  It's like 7th grade with bank accounts.  What about us?  What about what we think, we feel, we know - Christ!  Does it always have to be about them?  Just... you know, give me a call when you're ready to talk about something other than men for a change."
