As an alcoholic… that lady is an alcoholic.
But could totally be a meet-cute for a really bad manga that runs for 74 chapters and then just vanishes.

Yeah, the fact she already had the bottle in the car...
If was me, she already would have some points in advantage since vodka is my drink of choice...
Legitimate question - what do you like about vodka? Do you mix anything with it? I've never found one I enjoyed, so I am curious.
If served right, vodka should taste like almost tasteless cold liquid with just a little bitterness in it. Refreshing drink, if you ask me. It also a great appetitive for some dishes.
It gets the job done and it's cheap
zero faff
Dating is fine. Alcoholism is tough.
Yup, dating didn't make her drink. Also I wouldn't want to date someone who can't function without alcohol.

Ahhhh...
The 'Murican attitude that it's ok to drink and drive...
Yup, people in, say, Eastern Europe or South Africa never drink and drive. Hell, even Canada has higher mortality rate than the U.S. for drunk driving.
I get that it’s fashionable to shit on America (and like 99% of time it’s justified), and I will not go as far as to say there is no drunk driving problem here (cause of course there is), but it’s not an “American attitude”
Your link does not say that Canada has a higher mortality rate than the US for drunk driving. It says that drunk driving is responsible for a slightly higher percentage of motor vehicle fatalities (34% compared to 31%). Given that the US has three times as many traffic fatalities per capita, this means that the US has almost three times the mortality rate for drunk driving as compared to Canada.

Yeah, seems pretty clear that the drinking was done in a parked car after getting to the place they were supposed to meet. So not really.

Having a drink to calm the nerves is one thing, but spending several minutes taking shots of vodka before a date sounds like straight-up alcoholic behavior. Unless OP is greatly exaggerating, either she has a massive tolerance, or she would end up a drunken mess in front of her date, which would probably be much worse than a case of the nerves.
If I knew my date hand just taken five shots in short order the first thing I'd probably ask them is, "Can I call you a cab?"

My only proper post-bar one night stand, we got to my place, and the girl pulled out of her purse the largest bottle of vodka seemingly imaginable. It was like some disturbing Mary Poppins shit and really was an appropriate harbinger of everything that followed.

There's nothing entirely wrong with this. I cannot function in some social settings without a little bit of liquor. Just half a can of white claw is enough to open me up somewhat.
Drinking a pint of liquor in your car before a social event is a pretty solid sign of alcohol dependency.
Taking a twitter post completely un-sourced as 100% serious might also be a pretty solid sign of mental deficiency.
I mean it's meant to be funny, but in reality ½ a can of white claw and doing shots for 5 minutes are two very different things. Alcohol in volume is not a good anxiety remedy. Get help if you need to get drunk for social settings to be tolerable because becoming an alcoholic will make your life much, much worse.
yeah i mean we've all been there but the op is straight up textbook abuse
Or, and hear me out, OP is over-exaggerating for comedic purposes for content creation.
Or do you believe every story a stand up comedian says?
Do you think movies are real?
Good way to put it. Like I've had benders but I'm not drinking to hide my personality, most times it just makes it harder to communicate. Like right now I'm on a bender. Weed is also great. Most times instead of liquor pick up some flower. I'm on both atm and its great, highly recommend.
Maybe she's counting on the date lasting a while. Or staying over for the night.
The polite thing to do in this instance is to get on her level by pounding your own set of shots.
Power move: pound her shots.
I, too, always keep an open bottle of vodka in my car, accessible from the driver's seat. It's just common sense.
