I wouldn't know, because I don't drink. But they say it's like being drunk..." and on. and on. and on. I figured it was some kind of judgement from on high or something, which is maybe not entirely appropriate if you're my dentist and not my pastor or bishop or whatever. Anyway, one day I'd finally had enough of it and said, "It's nothing like being drunk. Being drunk is much, much better." I don't know if I'd still stand by that, but it shut him up.

I've never really been sedated, oh apart from when I was really young and had 4 teeth out, and then they gave me gas and air, wicked stuff. The little breathing maching then sounded like Darth Vader, and I couldn't keep a straight face. Then when I came round I had to look after my mum who had fainted. LOL.
