the morning after...
I just celebrated my 22nd bday yday. Okay..so it was a celebration 2 days late...but it was still a celebration. And as all celebrations go, alcohol was involved.
I think i hate alcohol. I just can't understand how ppl can become alcoholics. All that puking..the headache...and the stupid things u say and do when drunk...yuck! And the dehydration. And the nagging from mom. And the lethargy...
I'm sitting here whining becuz i feel sick. Not thaaaaat sick but sick enough to know that
i won't be clubbing for a relatively long time. I have shaky legs and fingers (i keep typing the wrong keys by the way), still feel the vomit trying to come up (even though there's only water in my tummy) and just fought the runs. The only good thing is that the headache i had yday (yes, it's crazy to go clubbing when u have a headache but that's me.) is gone. Oh, btw...it's a misconception that u can't take panadol and drink.
You can. I do it all the time and nothing has happened..so far. Just don't take too much of either and you should be quite safe. And no, it's not the same as doing drugs. You do NOT get a high by mixing panadol with alcohol.
I am just so sick of feeling sick. (I apologise for using the same word (sick) in the same sentence. My brain usually doesn't work too well the morning after.)
In fact, I've become quite good at being sick. Or so my good friend, Serene, tells me. Oh, she's the one who looks after me when i'm totally smashed so she should know. I can tell exactly when am i going to vomit..and how much im going to vomit so my merlion sessions are usually perfectly timed. And
i never vomit on anyone...or anywhere im not supposed to. It's always into a plastic bag, or flower pot..or bush..or drain or at worst, a corner. And best of all,
i always give warning so people can get away. Or come attend to me, for that matter.
Isn't it cool that im still so considerate when drunk? Haha!
I've gotten so good at puking that i can tell when others want to puke.
Here's a tip. Always insist on a bag from the taxi uncle when u are drunk. Even if u have already puked a few times before getting on, u should always get a bag. And hold it in both hands all the way. You really don't want to vomit in the cab. Apart from dirtying urself (and the poor poor person sharing the cab with u), u probably have to compensate the driver. That's gonna cost u about $20-30 on top of the fare. No..i have never dirtied the cab before..i was the poor poor person sharing the cab with the dumb dumb who pretended he could hold it in. Enough said.
So why do i still drink so much? Erm...that's a good question really. I guess
when in rome, do as the romans do. Besides, it's not fun just watching people do stupid things...it's much more fun joining them (and not caring that u are being stupid.) Btw, have u ever been completely sober in a club? It's very boring, isn't it? Watching ugly dance moves can only entertain u for just so long. My theory is that people who say they don't enjoy clubbing are people who don't dare/can't afford to get drunk.
It's not really that fun to be stuck in a hot, smoky and crowded place filled with drunk, rowdy and sweaty people. And to be conscious of that fact makes it worse i guess.
BUT...i really think i gotta stop clubbing. I keep going to bed without bathing or washing my makeup off...which really wreaks my skin. Shit. And i have to change the bedsheets the next day too. Besides, i'm sick of puking all the time anyway.
So i guess i will never become an alcoholic. My body just can't take the poison...it reacts in a really disgusting manner. so i don't have a choice...which is good really.
