So this is what drinking is like

I went to the dentist last week for a filling. It was my first time having anything other than cleanings done so I didn't know what to expect. I walked to the room and the assistant asked if I would like some headphones to use while they were doing the procedure. Of course! Then she asked if I would like some nitrous oxide to help me relax. Yes, please. It was my first time ever being exposed to it. She told me it would feel like I had had a couple of margaritas (as if I would have any idea what that would be like). Within the first few minutes I really didn't like it. I felt like I might pass out. I just felt really weird. I almost asked her to remove the mask, but decided to wait a little longer.
Luckily it got better. A lot better.
Well, sort of.
I felt like I didn't have a care in the world. All the things that I had been stressing over seemed to not matter anymore. I didn't care what happened at all.  You might think that this sounds great, to be so carefree. Well, I didn't like it. I felt that I had crazy thoughts going through my head. I felt like I had no control. I also felt that I would do about anything anyone asked me to do, which isn't really a good thing.
The assistant turned off the happy gas about 5 minutes before she was done and about 20 minutes before I left. While I had complete control over my body, I still had these crazy thoughts. And I still felt carefree, but in a bad way. I came home and told Candace that I felt like I was drunk. I may have told her some of my crazy thoughts (I don't really remember).  Again, I have no way of knowing how I would react to being drunk and don't know if I'm even describing the effects of alcohol but the dental assistant told me that that is the feeling I would get.
So I'm glad I don't drink. I don't think I would like how I felt. And I'm scared for what I might do. However, it was the best experience I'd had at the dentist.
