Tuning In

When you arrive late at a drinking event and quickly need to catch up to everyone else, so you put down about 3-4 drinks in the first ten minutes; often to the concern and horror of other guests.

"Why the hell did Gary just walk in and take 3 shots of vodka in 2 minutes?"

"Had to work until 9. He realized we already had a few and is tuning in"
