Last night I ticked a couple of things off your typical life experience list:
- Play a drinking game, eg. Kings
- Get blind drunk and jump into a pool fully clothed.
The rules of Kings was not explained entirely before playing, so I ended up drinking about three times more than everyone else. By the end of it I was completely trashed.
Before jumping into the pool for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to take my bra off first (I kept my dress on, calm down). I don’t remember the pool being particularly cold, but I looked like a train wreck for the rest of the night.
This was all fun during the night, from what I can remember that is. However, upon waking up the next morning all I felt was shame (and nausea). I was out of control. I was literally blind drunk because I couldn’t really see anything the whole night, and I’m missing chunks of time.
So, a little note to myself. Never ever play a drinking game again, especially if it’s Kings. I have basically decided that I’m no longer going to binge drink. I’ll have a few drinks on occasions, but I’m going to set myself a limit.
That’s my problem. I only drink on rare occurrences, but when I do get on the piss I do a good job of it, and I don’t know when to stop. I hate the way I feel during and after binge drinking, and even though I’m an amusing drunk I still hate the way I act.
I had to send out a few apologies this morning. One was because someone found my behaviour and actions offensive, despite the fact that they were joining in the whole time and were just as drunk as I was. It was never my intention to offend anyone, I thought we were all just having a laugh.
All in all, even though I had quite a good evening that whole experience was something I am not particularly proud of and would much rather forget all about, but I guess it was a rite of passage of sorts. Now that I have gone through it I am quite content in my decision to put it all behind me.
