I've been hungover three times in my life. The first was when I was 18, usual story.
The second was when I was 21, Erin and I were at the Hofbrauhaus* in Munich and kept being bought the local white beer (by the half litre!!) by some lovely old German couples who said (in their broken English) it was their duty to 'welcome us to Bavaria', despite our polite, then forceful "NO THANK YOU I DON'T EVEN LIKE BEER ALL THAT MUCH PLEASE STOP". I feel asleep on the toilet then threw up a lot of it (not all 2.5 litres though) while singing toilet songs in German. *As a side-note, this was where Hitler formed the Nazi party.
The third was today. I feel AWFUL. I'm not even really sure what happened, I had 4 drinks over 5 hours so figured i'd be fine, but i guess the mix of tired, beer/gin/wine was lethal. Today has been so hard, I could barely talk this morning (I also had an ulcer on my tongue which made me slur a little...all class, this girl) and playing the helpful manager was far too much effort. This girl at work asked me to get her keys from upstairs, where she'd strategically placed a bottle of wine with HAPPY BIRTHDAY all over it....i didn't even notice it, bleary-eyed, I gave her the keys and was confused when she asked me if i understood. I thanked her later, after numerous coffees, berocca and toast.
Tired and yuck turned to headache and yuck which has now turned to nausea and yuck. I can't believe people do this all the time! Voluntarily!! I apologised to my manager, who just laughed at me. Nice work.
What's remarkable about this? Well, I suppose, the lesson i've learned. Don't mix drinks, kids.
