I don't think I converted her last night, but she admitted she liked my soup. Considering that I haven't made it in probably 4-5 years, I'm hoping this means at least twice per year from here on.

Wow! 2 pints and wasted. Well, glad you got a ride. 
Maybe a different definition of "wasted" here. 3 pints of 7% will definitely give me a buzz, and I won't drive until some time has passed, but it would take a LOT more than that to get me "wasted".

This. If I know I'm going to have several drinks, I won't drive home, or I'll have plans to sit and drink water for a few hours, but 2 pints of 7% and wasted? Definitely not my definition.

I spotted a new-to-me Mexican restaurant while running errands the other day, and the menu looked great so we decided to order takeout last night. There were a few iffy reviews, but I heavily discount any COVID-era bad reviews. Big mistake. Food arrived about an hour after the estimated arrival, order was incomplete and somehow my lamb barbacoa, chicken tinga and baja-style fish tacos all tasted the same (plus bland, dry and lukewarm). I didn't even try the elotes, which was a sad looking ear of corn with a side of crumbled cheese (none of the sauces).

Not even one beer or one glass of wine over a long period of time and with food? No one is saying that a dui is not serious---the comments are that most of us wouldn't call ourselves "wasted" after 2 beers and a lot of food.

...Presumably ingested over the course of a couple hours.

Mahi. I bought a bit too much - 1.2 lbs for two. I now realize that there is an upper and a lower filet. Ive caught one but never cleaned one.
I have permission to serve fish any night I want to cook it as long as I cook it outside. Sides were grilled asparagus and Caribbean rice.
Mrs BV didnt like the dark meat under the lateral line. A worker at Buddy Gandy Seafood once told me she likes her fish to remind her that it lived its life in the sea with every bite. I think I agree with her.
