To be perfectly honest, really drunk people make me nervous. I am talking about a person who is inebriated to the point that their conversation is incoherent or terribly sad, they cannot walk without help and logic dictates that they will likely vomit soon. Since I don’t know what they are going to do, or which direction their poor mind is going to take (will they laugh uncontrollably or cry uncontrollably?) I become nervous. Thankfully, I haven’t been around a drunk person for a few decades, but I still recall how uncomfortable I felt.
Of course, the usual things that make most people nervous also make me nervous, too – such as speaking in front of a crowd, going out to dinner with someone I hardly know, cooking for a large group or tackling a new project at work. But really drunk people make me more nervous than any of those scenarios. I’m just weird, I guess.
