Sake: Friend or foe?
I have recently been wondering why people grimace when I mention my love of sake. So many co-workers have warned me that sake is in fact the devil and not the ambrosia that I have come to believe it is. The first time I was introduced to sake, I realized it did not inebriate me... I've drank alot of sake in one sitting, and all I have felt has been relaxation at the most....I've even felt energized after drinking a bottle of sake. (go figure)
Well, I was introduced to the evil side of sake tonight. My friend Klara had a housewarming party, and I managed to polish off an entire bottle of sake in 3.25 hours. I felt fine until I got around the corner from my house and WHAM! I was suddenly sloshed. O_o What the heck happened??
Funny though, it's a different kind of inebriation. My head is not spinning, but I am definitely impaired. I feel tired.. relaxed. I'm glad I got home before I felt its full effects.
Very strange....very strange..

If I can be forgiven for making an utterly random simile (and I think I may be), that is because other drinks are like samurai, they charge into the room screaming and insert sharp objects in your brain. Sake, on the other hand, is like an assassin. It creeps up on you quietly and kills you three times before you know it's there. Sake is a ninja. You got pwned with teh easy.
