An Apology

[Guest]

The last three times I've gone out I've been totally and completely HAMMERED!!!

Not to make excuses, but I always pre-drink. Not because I want to take the edge off of AA, but because I'm what people refer to as a Functional Alcoholic. I know this, and it's part of my life. I don't drink so much because I'm depressed or hurt or whatever, I drink so much because I LIKE IT. Period. End of story. I like booze.

Anyway, lately I've switched my booze of preference to vodka. The reason? No hangovers. It makes no difference how MUCH I drink the night before, if I'm drinking vodka I have NO HANGOVER. NONE. ZERO.

Before, I drank scotch or whiskey and I used to get the dirtiest fucking hangover...no more with vodka.

The point is that I JUST made the switch and I'm having a really hard time knowing when to stop with vodka. I guess the buzz is so subtle that it doesn't really hit me until it knocks me over. Does that make sense? Basically, in short, due to the nature of the buzz from vodka I've been over-drinking.

So, I'm here to apologize...

In10city:

Sorry I just disappeared on you last Friday. No idea what happened, I guess I just got it in my mind that it was time to leave.

Grimm:

I was drunk as SHIT Wednesday. I'm sure you could tell. Honestly, I don't remember the walk from the driveway at my condo to my bed...that's just sad.

Ratio, PC, Topdog:

Last night was fucking shitty. I think I was out all of 15 minutes with Ratio at Dukes. When I got to BF, the bouncer wouldn't even let me IN. That's how drunk I was...and trust me when I'm drunk it's HARD to tell because I'm usually very composed. So, I walked back to my car...thank God it was early otherwise the coppers might have gotten involved. Back at my car, I passed out for at least 2 hours. When I woke up I was still drunk, but not totally obliterated.

Normally I make my apologies in person. BUT, since I had so many that I felt I needed to apologize to I decided to just do it on the forum.

I guess I'm going through the process of calibrating to vodka...

Sorry guys!!!! Won't happen again.

Haha no problem. was looking for ya at Finn!

Ended up having a good night there. Ran a text book mixed 3 set, to where the end of the night, her girl friend and the guy friend are sitting at the back of the car as we were saying goodnight.... telling us to "go get a room" Diffused them beautifully. and she's 13 years younger. i love the game

LOL BR -- just don't get to the point my alcoholic friend does... he's non-functional ;) but his excuse is basically 'i'm an alcoholic, this is how i roll'

try and keep it functional and safe last thing we wanna see posted here is your dui experience ;)

vodka is a nasty mistress... i had my worst vomiting experience ever w/ vodka... like you it was deceptive then you cross that line and it's too late ;) unfortunately i was drinking screwdrivers so it was orange too... ewwww -- stick to the good quality stuff the lower quality vodka has the stuff in it that will give you hangovers

UPDATE:

Apparently I didn't pass out at BF. The fact that I don't remember this part really fucking scares me because I did pass out in a parking lot with a shit ton of cars. Guess in my drunken stupor I just assumed it was BF.

Oh yeah, and my ankle hurts...must have twisted it at some point.

Vodka and gin are my evil spirits of choice but I totally understand the subtlety involved with their effect. Just a word of caution, if you decide to go the Red Bull vodka route at some point then the effect will be even harder to recognize as the red bull gives you that great energy feeling and it then it seems to hit you all at once. Many times I've gotten to the end of the night and said I cant believe how much I've drank and cant really feel it to 20 min later snoring in the passenger seat on the way home and sending texts I don't think my mother would approve of. So I've decided to avoid that mixture for a while. : ) hth

I called it. Was talking about you at Locks last night. Saying you probably got drunk off your ass.

Ohh and hopefully Ratio will post what you messaged him around midnight. It was hilarious even though It was only like 2 words.

Have fun at your Renunion Bro. Also study your year book before you go. I had forgotten so many people I was like umm...ohh yeah I remember you...even though I didn't.

[Guest]

Dude, I'm beginning to think that I didn't pass out as long as I thought I did...

I'm thinking it was more like 20 minutes, not 2 hours. Fuck I don't even remember dude.

Jesus...

And the text...

Exheesseburher...nicw

I bet you I stopped somewhere on the way home and got a cheeseburger that makes sense given the fact that my car smelled like french fries this morning. Well, apparently it was good even if I don't remember eating it...

Scary shit man, scary shit.

Gotta love blackouts and not remembering how you got home ;)

My best blackout story involves waking up in my car next to a 737 parked in a hangar. Talk about scary.
