I didn’t get what the hype was all about.I chugged down a mouthful either way, not even caring as a few drops slipped on my peach colored peplum dress.It was the only presentable dress I had, and it would probably get ruined, but I didn’t really care.I was drawing a few stares already, and to kill my embarrassment, I grabbed another glass from a passing waiter. “What a nice bow tie you have on Sir,” I whispered loudly at him, nodding with a smile, even though he merely nodded stiffly and walked away.I threw my head back, and poured everything down my throat, coughing out a mouthful as my eyes watered.“What are you all staring at?” I shouted as the room full of elegantly dressed people hushed and turned to stare at me. “Have you never seen a drunk woman before?”I suddenly felt like laughing.
