welp I'm currently buzzbuzzbuzzed as well but I do know about fake drunks! Dealt with a lot of them in high school, mostly underclass girls who wanted to be seen as cool = drunk (ah, sweet sweet hs memories).
All I remember thinking is dang, you think u gotta be drunk to look like ur havin fun? But now being a tiny bit older and talking to close friends who do the same, I realize it can be just as embarrassing for someone to NOT be a social drinker, so for them it's just easier to fake being drunk than to spend a night explaining to 3423423 guys that wanna buy them a drink, that they're simply not a drinker.
hope that mak es sense. I feel some editing coming on tomorrow LOL!
ps..surely u don't have cankles! I'm sure its all in your head
