[ it's not kicking in just yet, but he's getting there... it might show with his direct bluntness. ]

I can drink much if I allow myself to.

[ really, he can drink far into the night if he really wanted to! To the point where perhaps he might even be a close contender in winning drinking contests, when it comes to the amount of drinks. But, no, he doesn't hold it very well for long. Between two and three drinks is usually when he begins to get tipsy, and by four or five or so he's going all out. ]

If I do become drunk, I apologize.

[ he's also blunt in stating that. ]
