It took so long to drag my well-past-the-limit friend to the subway station that I was sobering up

So within 40 minutes I went from a laughing nimrod to being jealous that I wasn't as drunk as everybody else, because the antics slowly moved from 'hilarity' to 'I want to get drunk shut up'

IOW I think when people are upset at the behaviours of drunks it means they aren't drunk enough (or high enough, w/e)
