get drunk once

Had some quite crazy times, had some fun, but also had some bad times, or just pretty weird times. It’s difficult, because you can’t judge whether it’s going to end up being good or bad. It’s an experience anyway (I suppose it’s weird that it’s a legal drug, but everyone just thinks of it as a drink). The only thing I could say is you have to be careful… I enjoyed the good times but I have to learn from the bad times.

First and only time was last summer on my trip to Argentina and Uruguay. It was our last night in Buenos Aires so we had to “do it big.” My two girl friends were already VERY tipsy from several glasses of wine at dinner. Still completely sober, I guided them into a taxi and to the liquor store where we asked their rum, el mas fuerte. In the hotel room they forced me to down several glasses of that Bacardi Oro straight (tasted like fingernail polish), because “if you’re not as drunk as us in five seconds I’m going to fucking murder you.” And that was before we went even went to the actual party! After that it gets pretty hazy but I mostly remember just laughing my ass off. I recall drinking the most amazing beer in a blue bottle named Pronto. And then I remember my head feeling a bit wet. I thought maybe little something got spilled on me. I later found out that my friend (shitfaced) was pouring the rum on me. Then they say I just sat down on one of the beds and slowly leaned over. Someone woke me up and took me up to my room, where I promptly hurled and went straight to sleep. I felt wonderful! But not so much for everyone else, who had horrible hangovers the next morning while we were traveling to Montevideo BY BOAT! ahahahahaha

It was cool at the time it seem but I threw-up all over the place at the club after taking seven shots. I was dancing around and then it hit me. I went to a table and so did my stomach, lol. It was cool for the experience but it was a one time deal for me. I DONT plan on doing that again.

It was a one time thing.

Flint A Wing, Audreys Room; After the worst week of my freshman year life. 2 Glasses wine.

...as if drinking to excess is some sort of accomplishment.

I blew this one a LONG time ago. In fact, I quit drinking for the first time when I was 14 years old. Didn’t know it then, but was ALREADY an alcoholic. It has always been difficult to drink and NOT drink enough to get drunk. It’s actually an allergy, in the way a person’s body processes alcohol which creates the craving for more.

Unfortunately this goal is out of my reach but, fortunately, I don’t ever have to take onother drink again, ever.

Up until last night, I’d been tipsy but had never really gotten drunk. I shouldn’t have drunk to the point of puking, but, still it was quite fun. I must’ve drunk about eight glasses of Blue Lagoon – vodka and something – after the sixth, I don’t really remember anything, all I know is that I danced AND singed – being so self-conscious, it’s something I have never done before – and puked by the time I got home. The best part of it is that I didn’t get a hangover afterwards.

It’s definitely something I’m not proud of, but I hadn’t had this much fun in months. And I had to drink something to get my mind off the neurolinguagem (don’t know how it’s called in English) session I had earlier yesterday.

Beer before liquor, never sicker
Liquor before beer, never fear

I’m a big loser about drink. i just dont care enough about GETTING drunk to GET drunk. blah. i should do it, though. i’ve been tipsy. never drunk.

This isn’t really that ambitious of a goal, and not sure it was worth it or not worth it, but I figure it’s part of life and an experience to have at least once at least to know your limits.

Flashback to 1994, me and my nerdy friends in college were having a dorm room party. I think I drank three of those printed college plastic cups of cheap red wine. Dry red wine that makes you feel thirstier than before you drank it. Giggly, dizzy, goofy, blah, blah, blah I threw up at 6:30 a.m. and went to yoga at 8:30 a.m.

The positives I guess are I did it in an absolutely safe environment with friends and I didn’t go too overboard (Some people drink until they black out or pass out). I also learned that enough is enough, being drunk doesn’t make things that much more fun.
