Thea Fitz-James serves up a heady cocktail in her one-woman examination of being a female and drinking.

Sweetness: one part college party girl, drunk not just on liquor but on empowerment and the vitality of being newly responsible and squandering that responsibility. Sourness: one part academic alcoholic, too busy pontificating on the transformative powers of intoxication to notice she's finished the bottle. A dash of bitters comes from interspersed literary quotes on women and drinking. Mix with a performance effervescent and serious in good balance, and garnish with some fun audience interaction.

Despite all of her skill in concocting and serving up ideas, this drunk girldoesn't have anything really potent or potable to say.- Kelly Stifora

Unfortunately, I'm ultimately more confused than buzzed. Fitz-James admits to not having conclusions, as she's still figuring out how alcohol and feminism should interact in her own life. Still, I find myself disappointed that despite all of her skill in concocting and serving upideas, this drunk girl doesn't have anything really potent or potable to say.
