When you've been out on a cold snowy night, just two ounces of liquid courage instantly warms you up. The ice turns to lava in your esophagus and your body moves with the rippling lava. Two ounces isn't enough though, you have to get warm and stay warm. If you're smart you drink just once, but courage is something that is longed for in large quantities. Once you feel courageous, there is no turning around or feeling otherwise.
Liquid courage is very dangerous if taken in extreme amounts.
I recently had a run in with liquid courage, and the experience was one I'd never felt. When confronted with males, I became Mae West and flirted with blokes until they began to blush. Though usually mild on the dance floor and just staying with friends, I found myself dancing in very indecent ways with complete strangers. For once I found myself able to go up to the guy I sweated and be an attractive, flirtatious female looking for some good clean fun. I danced with him like I had never danced with anyone before, or even knew I could.
