Last night I decided to have a beer after I nursed JJ and put him down for the night. They say it takes about an hour to metabolize each alcoholic drink you consume, so as long as I wait the same number of hours as the number of drinks I have before nursing JJ again, my milk should be free and clear of any alcohol. He usually sleeps for about three or four hours after I put him down for the night, so I had a beer. I finished the beer, and decided that I like the buzz I had, so I started another beer. I barely got through half of that second beer and felt like I was trashed. Well, that might be an exaggeration but I definitely felt like I shouldn't finish that second beer. I gave it to Jeremy instead.
The point is, I am offically a cheap date. Give me one beer, I'm buzzed. Give me a second beer and I might pass out before I finish it. But don't worry, it was over three hours from the time I finished my second (half) beer until I nursed JJ again. Tonight I'm going to a friend's house for a get-together and when I asked if I should bring anything, she told me that they only have a couple of bottles of the kind of beer I like (I'm a beer snob), so I might want to bring a six-pack if I want to drink. I laughed to myself, because one beer will certainly be plenty. I'll still bring the six-pack because I hate to show up at a party empty-handed, but they can have the other five.
