Help me sober up?

[Cantthinkofanythingrightnow]

Vipers please help me! I'm not normally the biggest drinker but following the weekend from hell (horrible not my fault car crash leading to pain/police/no sleep, also baby with the norovirus) i hit the bottle at my mums this afternoon! How the feck do I sober up by the school run tomorrow? Xx

Book a cab for the school run,don’t offer any explanation or elaborate on it
Blimey about the incident and your so getting hurt,and he’s only 6. If he’s upset keep him off school
It’s a random horrible accident not your fault,and you didn’t fail your boy,he was safely strapped in a car seat.that limited the impact. Tooth knocked out is painful but he will be ok

It was only 8.30 when this thread was started, that's around 12 hours until the school run tomorrow! That's loads of time for the alcohol to leave your body and drive in the morning if you need to although it sounds like you'll be on foot.

I take it you rarely drink OP? 😁 Sounds like a regular Sunday chez Baptiste!

Thank you ladies. Feel like i needed to pretend to be ok in normal life and not spoil mums party so just got pissed insted not that mum wouldnt understand its just shes worked so hard to make a nice do and we were meeting my DB gf and her ds for the first time didnt wsnt to make it all about me.

My oldest ds is eerily ok, he was v excited by the police car and tooth fairy. My younger ds age4 who was in the back seat and wasnt hurt seems a lot more upset,.as lots of questions about the bad men.

Ive drank a litre of water. Dh is gna take the boys to breakfast club tomorrow before work so panic over thank u and no more binge drinking for me!!!.i think some mumsnetterd are s bit more experienced!!

Given the day you had it’s ok to be a bit wild and hit the bevvy. Really

Oh please don’t worry about the party! You’re pretty coherent on here so you probably weren’t that bad!

And in all honesty they’ll just be glad you’re all ok!

It might be an idea to speak to your GP , see if there’s anything you can do to help the boys?

But tonight just sleep xx

Yes airbags didnt go off and seatbelts didnt lock. Police say the impact wasnt fast anough to set them off but fast enough for my sons face to crack the feckin windsceeen?? Wft?? I trusted my car though that sounds daft you just do dont u? Im not gonna fix it im gona buy a safer one if i even drive agian xx

Let a few days,weeks pass.time to process this.you don’t need to make any big decisions
And be kind to yourself.

Wow what an unnecessary overreaction, OP. You are hardly drunk and when you posted this you had ages before school run. 12 hours is plenty of time to sober up. And you are worried about the teacher judging you?? For what exactly? You say you dont drink much normally but surely you realise you wouldnt be wobbling about drunk 12 hours after drinking

I drink as much water as I can and go to bed. Enough to wake me for the loo in the night. Once you've been to the loo drink as much as you can again and repeat as many times as you can

You'll wake not hungover because all that water means you're not dehydrated and it will flush the booze from body

You'll get a bad nights sleep from getting up so much but that's a small price to pay!

Oh that’s awful, I wouldn’t beat yourself up about a few drinks, it’s really not that much and your clearly thinking straight...night is young anyway

Your poor boys. No wonder you're upset.

PengAly did you see what op wrote about the incident in the car,her son,and it unsettled her
It’s not handwringing about a boozy Sunday lunch,she felt really rattled

My brother swears by 2 paracetamol and a couple of pints of water before bed. Sounds like you've had a rough time, hope you're OK

@PengAly ill go drink another bottle and comr back and maybe be slightly more deserving of your time.

Thank u other ppl im going to try and sleep now i think this is more to do with crash than winr, will send ds to school tonorrow hes better with routine

Hi OP. Your week sounds horrendous. I'd be in a state. No wonder you are feeling anxious. Honestly though, you've just had a few too many drinks. You are home nice and early. It's not remotely as bad as what the anxious voice in your head is telling you. With water and some sleep you'll be feeling alright tomorrow.

Wow just read the full thread. Some unfeeling people around here! Really hope your DS is OK, OP.

No advice (or judgement!) here but just wanted to send a hug and hope you sleep well OP. Hugs fir your DC's too. They're more resilient than we realise. Tomorrow is s new day xxx💐💐

PengAly OP is just a wee bit drunk and anxious after a shitty sleep-deprived week where something awful happened. Sometimes it helps to get a bit of reassurance, even if it's just from strangers online.

I always have toast and a cuppa if I feel like i've had too much, then take a big glass of water/cordial to bed and take a couple of paracetamol or an ibuprofen to kill the looming headache. How far is school OP, could you walk it? The fresh air may do you good unless you then have to get to work...

I didnt get that im afraid, i was replying to the original question in the OP, not the drip feed that didnt seem to make sense in relation to not being sober for a school run.
OP, i dont really understand your reply to me and why you think id suggest you drink more? Hope things get better for you after a good nights sleep.

You’d get it if you read the thread,you haven’t so are responding on basis of 1 post
It’s not a drip feed to elaborate on events
It’s how conversations flow,one doesn’t disclose all info,in one go. Usually it flows,there’s a reveal,an elaboration

Why not just read the fucking thread then?

Or was your sneery comment so important that it simply couldn’t wait a couple of minutes to read OP’s posts?

The crash sounds awful OP. Water and something sugary in the morning.

I hope your DS is being watched closely for signs of head injury. What did the hospital say?
