Health, Alcohol and Holidays: On the wagon

On the wagon

By Anonymous - 25/08/2014 16:01 - United States - Brooklyn

Today, it's been almost a week since I returned from my vacation to Ireland. Before I rarely drank. Now I'm pretty sure I'm an alcoholic. You might think I'm joking, but I've woken up hungover every day since I landed there. I basically paid to kill my liver and become AA's next poster child. FML

Today, after drinking myself to an oblivion, I awoke with a massive hangover. I didn’t want to go to work, but every excuse I came up with in my head screamed of alcoholics. When I arrived, my boss asked me why I was there. It was my day off. FML

Today, I got back to work from a 3 week vacation. My boss had asked me to get him something so when I returned I presented him with a shotglass with the British flag on it. I later found out that he is a recovering alcoholic. FML

Today, I was feeling sick and ended up throwing up as soon as I got home. My mother's first question was an accusatory, "What have you been drinking?" I was returning from the AA meeting I have been attending for over a month. I go because I'm afraid I'll become an alcoholic like her. FML

Today, after a big house party the night before, I woke up with a dry mouth and a pounding hangover. I took a swig from a cup I'd left on my bedside table the night before, thinking it was water. Nope; it was vodka. FML

Today, it's not fair: I’ve seen my twin brother drink 2 full bottles of whiskey without getting more than tipsy, then go to work the next day completely fine on only 2 hours sleep, meanwhile I get completely trashed if I have more than 3 normal pints and take days to recover from the hangover. FML

Today, as a recovering alcoholic, I called my brother to share the news that I've been sober for a month. He invited me to a bar to celebrate. FML

Today, my alcoholic friend, who is now sober, told me I was a lot more fun when he was drinking. FML

Today, I woke up with the nastiest, most brutal hangover ever. I haven't had alcohol in 10 years and I only eat healthy, yet my body craps itself out because… reasons. FML

Today, I leave Ireland after a 5 month study abroad. Today also happens to be the day that the price of alcohol decreases by 30%, the dollar increases by 15% and the girl I have been chasing the whole time, to no avail, finally decides to show an interest in me. FML

Today, I'm on the last day of my honeymoon in Ireland. My wife and I have an amazing hotel room and a huge bed. She's passed out drunk and if I even touch her, she needs the bucket next to our bed. So much for finishing our week on a "fun" note. FML

So you're saying rather than take responsibility for your choices, you're blaming a stereotype to justify your problem?

You should have tried to put a limit on the amount of drinks you had.

Lower the amount of drinks you have or just attend AA anyway...it does help

So what you're saying is that you're basing your poor judgement off of a stereotype…I don't know how anyone could possibly think this is a FYL

I hear there's this statue that creates miracles... maybe it can cure you of your alcoholism. Blood comes out of the statue's ass, all you have to do is touch the blood. There's a long line but if you're willing to wait your turn, you can be cured.

I'm Irish and most of my family are pioneers (I can list 6 off the top of my head) so please don't force a stereotype on us that we don't all fit, it's your choice to drink not ours

Unless someone literally grabbed you and forced the drink down your throat, it was your own fault. As someone from Ireland I am offended by you blaming an entire nation for your own recklessness. If you're old enough to drink legally you're old enough to know your limits. The fact of the matter is only you are responsible for how much you drink. Don't drag an entire country down with your mistakes. That being said, I hope you had a lovely holiday otherwise and that you enjoyed other aspects of Ireland besides the alcohol.
