    21 Struggles Women Who Can Hold Their Alcohol Inevitably Face

    How can you possibly be wasted after two cocktails?

    1. It’s twice as expensive for you to go out drinking.

    2. Your friends always get way drunker than you way faster.

    3. And you secretly envy their low tolerance.

    4. You have to carefully plan out how you’re going to drink enough to be on the same level as your friends.

    5. In your mind, happy hour = sprint hour.

    6. But your friends still end up getting drunk way before you.

    7. Including your guy friends.

    8. Who are all secretly embarrassed you can outdrink them.

    Still sorry, guys.

    9. And then you end up having to take care of them.

    10. Including your guy friends.

    11. Which kills the small buzz you had just started to get going.

    12. If you’re on a date, the likelihood of your date getting drunker than you on the same amount of wine is pretty high.

    13. Which means you have found yourself in the weird position of faking drunkenness to be polite.

    14. People who don't know you very well assume you're just very good at hiding your inebriation.

    15. Bartenders love you, because you're the only person who isn't slurring and sobbing by the end of the night.

    16. And the only one sober enough to deal with the bar tab at the end of the night.

    17. And the only one who can correctly tell the cab driver where to go.

    18. AND the only one who can convince your friend that she will regret making out with that guy.

    19. You’ve heard more than one drunken confession that no one else remembers.

    20. BUT YOU REMEMBER FOREVER, BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T DRUNK ENOUGH TO FORGET.

    21. And on the rare, beautiful occasion when you do get drunk, no one believes you.
