My early experiences of being drunk was the spinning room. That should've been an indication for me to put down that bottle of Jack, but being the foolhardy young person I was, I ignored such warnings. The spinning overrode everything. It was there with eyes open, it was there with eyes shut, it was there when I hung my head out of the car window like a golden retriever trying to get fresh air and hurl at the same time. It was there when I prayed to the porcelain gods. It was everywhere.
As I got older, I entered a second stage of drunk. Some call it tolerance, I call it feeling good. That's when Dennis Leary is funny again, when the music sounds just as good now as it did when I first heard it years ago, when ideas start flowing like Niagra Falls, when even the most sensible thing can be heard in a person's senseless babble.
I usually tell people that alcohol is the real truth serum. It brings out the real you. For me, I transform from a hard-working cog of the economic machine to a complete lush, completely content just sitting there (wherever there is) and feeling good.
This really makes me want to crack open a bottle of Bacardi.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
