Thank you everyone who wished me happy birthday! It was a good birthday.


The clubbing attempt was a bust ($20 cover charge, full of 18 year olds or 16 year olds with fake IDs, way too long a line to wait for) so we went to a pub. My intake:

1 junebug
1 rum shot
1 mai tai
3 tequila shots


Time started drinking: 12:45ish AM
Time stopped drinking: 1:30ish AM

The last two times I had that much alcohol it was vodka and/or smirnoff ice, and I was way drunk but otherwise fine. And I had it over like 2 and a half hours. Last night... not so much. I threw up like and hour and a half later. In the toilet, though! I got up from bed, went to the toilet, barfed, and parked myself for a while to just sit. My less-drunk friend (who had only a junebug and a mai tai) heard me and came to sit up and talk with me for like an hour in the bathroom.

I didn't get "falling-down" drunk, but I couldn't walk in a very straight line, either.

I woke up once at abut 9 o'clock, and again at 11 o'clock the next morning.

It was probably the tequila that made you vomit. It's so good but it hurts so bad.

I think it was the "tequila and" that did it. 3 tequila shots by themselves wouldn't make me barf... but that plus 3 other drinks makes a barfy combination.

But... tequila tastes much better than vodka.

Aw, poor thing. You didn't even have time to do the pre-bed water chug. But hey, it's a milestone! And you can always tell yourself it's research from drunkenness in some fic if you need consolation.

Pre-bed water chug?

Anyway, I did all that drinking in about an HOUR. Which is probably why I threw up. It took like 20-30 minutes to kick in, then it kicked in fast.

Holy shit! An hour? Geez, no wonder. And the pre-bed water chug (for me at least) is the two or so glasses of water I have before bed when drunk. Helps with the dehydration, reduces the likelikood of hangovers, assuming you're not already totally shitfaced. Theoretically you should be alternating alcoholic and non-alcoholic throughout the evening but who does that?

I had 2 cups of water over the hour or so I was drinking, but that really wasn't enough. I would have liked more.

I actually had a pretty mild hangover. When I finally got up at 11, about 7 or 8 hours of sleep in total, I felt alright. Lethargic, somewhat talkative, definitely unwilling to do any physical labor, but alright. I wasn't flinching at loud noises like they always do in movies. I just felt... passive.
