    Having a drink to calm the nerves is one thing, but spending several minutes taking shots of vodka before a date sounds like straight-up alcoholic behavior. Unless OP is greatly exaggerating, either she has a massive tolerance, or she would end up a drunken mess in front of her date, which would probably be much worse than a case of the nerves.

      If I knew my date hand just taken five shots in short order the first thing I’d probably ask them is, “Can I call you a cab?”

      To be fair they said “5 minutes” but did not give a number of shots.

      “s” implies at least 2, leaving some wiggle room that they where not accustomed to strong liquor and had trouble getting It down. 2 of them because they underestimate the effect of just one.

      I’m pretty resistant to alcohol and numbing medications. I could do two double shots and just barely have the edge taken off.

      Of course, I’d not even consider drinking to ease nerves, and there’s no f’ing way I’d be doing shots in my car; that’s a great way to get a DUI in most places.

        You’re not even supposed to have alcohol within arms reach. Technically they can pull you over for having it on the back seat although I’m not sure how they would notice that.

          Not in Mississippi, it’s actually legal to drink while driving provided you’re under the limit.
