Well, you know what they say about New Year's resolutions and how they're meant to be broken...
I did keep the comment size down. It was a ridiculously stupid piece how a guy in his thirties who has, the piece implies, been a lifetime non-drinker, would suddenly become an alcoholic from one session of drinking cocktails was, clearly ridiculous.
First, being similar, a lifelong non-drinker of 56 years, I'll tell you what happens. The first taste of alcohol is so bad he probably spits it up involuntarily, if he can drink it at all. I personally, can't even eat rum cake, I discovered that when I was in my twenties. Fruit flavors won't cover up the taste of alcohol that much, and either he forces down drinks he doesn't like, then gets sick as a dog, or he's somehow able to nurse down a drink over time which means he won't consume much alcohol.
For those and other reasons that for brevity I'll omit, I thought the sketch was unrealistic.
I actually have to apologize here as the fault, it seems, is entirely on me. I thought you were just being a jerk, but the reality of the situation is that you do not understand comedy because of your ludicrously diseased brain. Sorry.
