As for the fear that people were going to like me less without alcohol, that it was making me funnier, sexier and more charming. That seems laughable now. Alcohol doesn’t make people funnier, it only makes them louder. Alcohol doesn’t make people sexier, it only makes them feel like they’re sexier. Alcohol doesn’t make people more charming, it makes them less charming once they cross the three-drink mark. Which I always, always did.
