NOTE TO SELF

[x_los]

Baccardi 151 has almost the alcohol content of Everclear. DO NOT CHUG!!! Ever. Again.


Gawd it's hard to type.

EDIT: ALSO THOSE WERE NOT 'HARMLESS BANANA SCHNAPPS,' THEY WERE 99 PROOF, AND UNSUITABLE FOR SHOTS. As per advice, having a bit of a lie down.

EDIT of EDIT: Happy birthday Sam! I love yoooou! Even sober, swear I do! Even when I make fun of your whimsical writing style and twee lil Gaiman love. But especially when you manage to survive long enough to turn twenty one. :p

I'm glad I didn't take Hubby up on that offer of a glass of wine, b/c I'd have spit it out all over the iMac at that statement.

Oh noez not teh precious imac! D: still very hard to type...

OMG I WANT POPCORN

Absinthe was still more h-cor than this. truefax.

Mebbe you should have a bit of a lie-down...

I had a nasty experience with a double shot of Everclear a few years ago. Lol.

151 can be brutal, as well. Not from personal experience, but I have seen it ravage a friend before.

You really should try absinthe sometime, though. I know that a lot of people can't stand the taste, however I find it rather delightful. It has a wonderful finish and gives a buzz unlike any other.

[x-los.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I only noticed its effects when it abruptly because quite difficult to continue editing this thing.

Oh, I do like absinthe! I had it in this crazy Prague chess-hustling experience, and you're right, the buzz is really unique! It's almost not like any other alcohol, you know?

Oh my god, you did that? Ow. 151 is a fiery journey to extreme drunkenness.

[x-los.livejournal.com]

I did not know that when I chugged my poorly conceived mixed drink to minimize the taste. x_x You are VERY CORRECT.

Sweet fancy Moses, you chugged Bacardi 151? What part of "151" did you not understand? And here I was feeling wretched most of yesterday after all that wine Friday night...

(...granted, there were four of us and we got through seven bottles, so yeah. Gah, wine-induced hangovers. XP)

Geez, though. Take it easy this morning, m'kay? Maybe drink ginger ale?

[x-los.livejournal.com]

I thought it was just, er, a number? Like, I didn't comprehend the relationship between 151 and PROOF.


Wanna hate me forever?

I AM INCAPABLE OF GETTING HANGOVERS. Never in my life. And I have thoroughly been in a position to. Muahahahaha. But YOU feel better after your 'oh noez whine' debacle... ;p

...then again, only one of us is dumb enough not to be able to parse /numbers./ Good job, Erin...

[innocentsmith.livejournal.com]

Yeah, keep laughing, hon: for years I thought I was fully invulnerable to hangovers, crediting my height, genetic background, magnificent constitution, etc. etc. etc., not to mention my lofty wisdom in always drinking lots of water at the same time.

And then in the last year or so, I can only assume that my body has gone "Fuck this shit, woman, stop pouring slow poisons down our throat!" because my god. I have had some humdingers. The first couple, it almost didn't occur to me that I was hungover, because I'd become so complacent about not getting them. You should've heard me whine.

It's given me a new appreciation for Jeeves's magical powers: if he can actually cure that kind of misery with egg and tabasco and Worchestershire sauce, he pretty much deserves canonization.

You have instilled a deep terror in me. This is clearly the horrible fate which awaits me. It's as inevitable as being eaten by a grue. I must get all my Drones style nights in while it's still consequence free and prepare to surrender myself over to quiet cups of tea at what, 23? Sigh.
