[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] I wish my problem were as simple as mild alcohol poisoning. I've done that before. If you have drank too much, throwing up is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It clears out the queue of alcohol that is on its way to your bloodstream, causing you to not get anymore drunk than you are. If you fall asleep with a belly full of alcohol, it continues to filter into you, mkaking you drunker, increasing the likelihood of you spending the better part of tomorrow drunk/hung over. I remember i managed to drink excessively for about 2 years without serious negative incidents, because of the Captain's Rules #1 (The Prime Directive). Don't drink around work. Don't drink with people you work with you don't trust. Don't drink around people who are directly subordinate to you, especially if you are attracted to them. #1a. BTW, I am quite the Kirk because i break the Prime Directive often.. but always with justification. #2. Don't throw up. Don't get to that point. #2a. If you do, don't destroy anything. #3. Know your limits. Stop drinking before you feel sick, not when you feel sick. A good rule of thumb is to stop drinking when you start to feel really good. Then have fun. And keep track of where your limit lies for next time (and that rule #4 affects your limit). #3a. If you do feel sick, you might be best off breaking rule #2. #4. Eat first. Something that coats, and something that absorbs, in that order. First have something that will coat your stomach, like something oily or greasy (not too, though!) or milky (better). The something that absorbs on top of that, like bread. #4a. If you don't eat, take your presupposed limit (from rule #3) and cut it in half. Empty stomachs are dangerous. The good part of puking is clearing out your system. A dry heave is the bad part, and its all you'll do if you have an empty stomach. #5. Safety. Plan to stay over. Know where you are going to sleep. Don't get behind the wheel of a car, and make sure you plan exactly how you are getting home or to work, without endangering yourself or your license & insurance policy. AMENDMENTS (added after bad times) a) Liquor then beer. b) Tequila doesn't go well as a parting shot. c) Avoid smoke if your stomach gets bad. d) Keep your eyes closed while you puke. e) Avoid peer pressure to break any of these rules Try to learn from my mistakes, and alcohol can be a nice alternative to feeling like yourself, to straddle the fine line between self-control and self abuse.
