I’ll start by stating I don’t drink often , because I’m terrible at it. I’m just one of these idiots that seems to always overdo it and feel horrible the next day which is why I tend to leave the stuff alone. Yesterday, I was celebrating achieving something quite clever ( oh the irony!) and forgot that I’d not eaten anything all day and merrily ploughed into a part worn bottle of vodka and a couple of DHs beers. I also don’t smoke very much at all and seemed to have channelled Dot Cotton last night. So basically I’ve woken up with a churning stomach, the shakes, a sore throat and a thunderous head. Somewhat heroically the little one has been dealt with this morning and I managed to get him ready quite happily before DH kindly has taken him to school . I honestly feel like I might die, the room is spinning and I’m sweaty. I have the school run at 3:15 and I’m supposed to be at a family gathering this evening. Is there any hope of feeling normal by then? I do this to myself maybe 3/4 times a year and it’s always a horrific 36 hrs to get back to normal. I need to do better now. Also, no funny anecdotes to share, I’m incredibly boring and well behaved when ratarsed, I just seem to drink for the sake of it. I’m 40. I know I should know better but I was excited and in a celebratory mood and didn’t realise how much I was putting away. Can anyone help me feel better?
