I know what you mean. I used to say that I was able to drink so much because I had an iron soul, you just couldn't knock it down. But really, most people do just pass out after one too many drinks, then there is the 3% of us who seem to lack that mechanism in our bodies.
Anyway, sorry to hear about your circumstance. If it does you any consolation I can name a hangover after you. So far I have these,
The Berliner - just a generally unbearably bad hangover (long story)
The Mel Gibson - a bad hangover accompanied by psychological trauma from acting stupid while drunk
The Taxi Driver - a hangover in which you black out and even let a taxi driver into your apartment
Best Wishes, Batman.
Thank you for the kind wishes Batman. I like to think i won't have another "Taxi Driver" any time soon
I'd be interested to know where the Berliner came from...
Day 4 of June, and remaining alcohol free. It's Friday night tonight and it's been the hardest. I had to go to the supermarket and walk PAST the bottle shop. It felt surreal and was actually quite hard but instead i bought lots of chocolate to try and compensate.
I'm drinking lots of (fruit) juice and plan to finish reading 'How the mind works' by Steven Pinker by the end of the month. I've wanted to read it for such a long time but i'm always too drunk. It's a good motivation to stay sober. I have a small amount of valium which got me through the first day jitters but for the most part i'm doing okay! Much better than i thought i would be.
Every day so far my housemate's been giving me a pat on the back for not drinking. Even though he doesn't really drink he's decided to do this sober June thing with me and it's great to have the constant moral support. He probably doesn't know how much it helps.
