how many was "some drinks"?

Maybe they did, as I had probably had 5 or 6 pints since 5pm. However,
when I'm drunk I do remember everything and I don't get violent. I
spoke quite normally to them, even though I am sure I would have
slurred some words. I vividly remember my comment to the guy when we
all got off though. I hope he does too.
