Clubcard-I don't like alcohol much, its shitty generally. At least, not in recreational or strongly intoxicant amounts, cold beer on a hot day, definitely but getting drunk, not really. It was just that I was withdrawing, or beginning to, from the morphia and oxy that I take. About 8-9 hours to go until picking up my med refill, so I decided to get a bottle and have it handy, so that I could essentially, rather than tolerate 8-9 hours of sleeplessness and feeling crappy and overstimulated, and cooking alive with soaring body temperature, the dex to block the withdrawal and the ethanol in order to knock me out. Wake up four hours later or so and then just down another 1/3 liter of rum and bottle of cherry wine. Not because I wanted to be drunk, I just required to loose consciousness.
Really not much of a drinker, I prefer chlormethiazole with morphine and a dash of oxy any damn day. Was just practical, shop was open, few minutes walk, and instant supply of OTC general anaesthetic, just a crappy one. I knew I wouldn't have to worry about a hangover for more than a few minutes or so, loaded up on tizanidine as well, and bingo. Job done, lights out, bye bye until the doc surgery opened at 8am, go grab my scripts and then hangover gone with a shot of morphine, a couple of lines of oxy and 3x192mg chlormethiazole caps down the hatch, plus cimetidine, grapefruit juice; to make sure it lasts as long as possible, and 10mg nitrazepam. (note-folk, I'm not recommending anybody actually use this combination, chlormethiazole is dangerous with depressants, if you aren't accustomed to chlormethiazole and opioids, otherwise it could easily kill you. I've been on both pain meds and chlormethiazole for years, I know my limits. In this, do as I say, not as I do. If you aren't acclimatized to both, then you aren't unlikely never to wake up, and NEVER drink alcohol on chlormethiazole. The booze had worn off by the time I'd taken the heminevrin caps and all that was left was its nasty little hangover parting 'gift'. Chlormethiazole&alcohol=time to meet Anubis and Osiris, not like other depressant combinations, as chlormethiazole isn't just a GABAa agonist, its an alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor and it causes plasma ethanol levels to skyrocket, making 1+1!=3, but 1+1=50. Very, very, very dangerous mixture)
