When I went and visited my (then) girlfriend's family it was Songkran, so everyone was sitting around under a tree a drinking. I'm not a strong drinker but since it was my first time meeting everyone I didn't want to offend. They plied me with a clear alchoholic "drink" that smelled and tasted like kerosine, (not that I know what kero tastes like.) I had to throw it back in one shot every time and it almost blinded me. After about 5 of those I was eventually able to catch the eye of my girlfriend and convey to her through pathetic eye-language that I need rescuing.

I was quite drunk by now but each drink I threw back brought a voracious cheer from the assembled village members.

I wonder how being intoxicated in a social situation is percieved by family members...
