My first experience with a drunk person

I remember I was about eight or nine years old and someone came to our house. He brought a whole bottle of some odd drink and sat on the table with my family. He started drinking it and had about 1 glass of it. I noticed his face was getting pretty red. I thought he just felt hot or something ( even if outside was - 10 degrees). After his third glass he started stuttering and pronouncing his words pretty much unclearly.  I really didn't know what was going on with this man. He looked dizzy and disorientated. I looked at him as though I saw an alien. This person acted completely different than the way he acted when he arrived at our house.

Few minutes later the man passed out on the floor. My step dad had to lift him and carry him to his car. I was really shocked by this view. I asked my mum why this man was feeling unwell and she told me that he had too much alcohol.

By this time I’ve had heard about alcohol but I didn’t know the effect of it.It seemed really dangerous to me after seeing this man at mine. Several years later I found out that you could actually feel joy from it.
