Well you go to sleep and stop drinking,

How do you think!

HumptyNumptyNooNoo · 31/03/2019 20:27

And drink a min of a pint of water before you go to sleep

formerbabe · 31/03/2019 20:27

Have something to eat, lots of water and go to sleep!

Brush your teeth well in the morning and spray some perfume so you don't smell like a brewery.

And don't drive

Candleglow7475 · 31/03/2019 20:27

A couple of Pints of water, some toast before you go to bed, and leave time for a shower in the morning to freshen up!

IvanaPee · 31/03/2019 20:28

Yes, it's a pint of water before bed and two aspirin. Have you eaten?

Then all the sleep you can get.

ilovesooty · 31/03/2019 20:29

You can't. The only way you will sober up is for the alcohol to leave your body.

Don't drive in the morning.

RevealTheLegend · 31/03/2019 20:30

Check you will actually be safe to drive

When did you start drinking and how much did you drink?

RevealTheLegend · 31/03/2019 20:31

(It will be a LOT later than you think)

Sparklesocks · 31/03/2019 20:31

Stop drinking now. Drink loads of water and ensure you eat something decent.
I find i feel better in the morning if I wait until I sober up before falling asleep.

kaytee87 · 31/03/2019 20:32

How much did you drink? I'm assuming you have another adult overnight to look after the baby?
Have some toast with peanut butter then a pint of water, go to bed with another pint of water.

Cantthinkofanythingrightnow · 31/03/2019 20:32

Ok so filled 2 litre bottle with water. Gonna drink it, eat toast and pray for my pelvic floor before bed?

Of course wont be driving in the morn but dont want the DCs teachers to think ive gor a problem 🙈

Flat full sugar coke in the morning really helps

Haworthia · 31/03/2019 20:33

You can type so you can’t be THAT shitfaced.

Water and sleep... I’m sure you’ll be OK.

Firsttimemama2017 · 31/03/2019 20:34

Have a dioralyte and some food and you should be OK tomorrow xx

MonkeyfaceThereturn · 31/03/2019 20:34

Op you're not drunk. You're entirely coherent.

Just drink some water and get some sleep.

How much have you actually drunk? 2+ bottles of wine or just a couple glasses?

kaytee87 · 31/03/2019 20:35

It's early enough to sleep it off, you'll be fine.

GertrudeCB · 31/03/2019 20:35

Do you drink tea? If so a couple of well sugared cups with food - your body knows how to get rid of alcohol. How much did you drink?

starabara · 31/03/2019 20:35

If you’re sober enough to be on here, you won’t be visibly drunk at 8.40am. That’s 12 hours, you may not be legally sober to drive but no one will think you have a problem.

I was incoherent drunk on Wednesday, not proud, and managed a 2hr session lecturing by 9.30am Thursday. Though I felt rough, make up and paracetamol are saviours.

Cantthinkofanythingrightnow · 31/03/2019 20:35

Yes my lovely DH gave lift to mums and stayed home with baby while I went with older 2 DCs. Started at 3pm and feel like my DS and DSiLs just fillled glass all day.

Coke, water, bread and orange juice always helps me :)

Dimsumlosesum · 31/03/2019 20:37

Eat a ton of carbs, eat again, water, more water, eat, water, sleep.

AppleKatie · 31/03/2019 20:39

🙄you are not that drunk. Go to bed and chill out. Obv don’t drive but assuming you’ve cleaned your teeth I’m sure the teachers have seen worse.
