ARGH! I can't drink!!!

[Writer]

I'm currently taking a medication that doesn't permit me to drink. It's been two weeks, and I'm staring heavily at a bottle of liqueur in my fridge. And... I... can't... touch it!!!

:argh:

1. Arg...that would drive me crazy.

Actually, I don't think I'm supposed to drink with my Adderall because of the uppers/downers thing, but I do anyway. I'm alive.

7. Apparently if I drink I risk liver damage.

But damn does that liqueur look good. :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Writer!

Well, sweetie......just take that bottle of liqueur and hide it behind something......

Or better yet, throw it out!

:hug:

Take care of yourself, OK?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. Throw it out? That's alcohol abuse!

She could mail it to me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Alcohol abuse? LOL!

Well, yeah, she could mail it to you!

:rofl:

[Writer]

8. Well, there is only a little bit left.

Although it was a gift for my graduation in May. (sigh) I don't know. Maybe the dog will want it?

5. What medication is it?

Also, is it just a "do not operate machinery" dizziness restriction? (I've got a notice like that on my regular meds, but when it's Martini Time, it's Martini Time)...

[Writer]

9. No it's a "it'll damage your liver" restriction. :)

6. You must take that liqueur out to the woods.

put it in a clearing. Leave it there. When you are healed of your illness, return to that spot. If you find the liqueur, it was destined to be yours. If it has been found and drunk by the young scavengers of the woods, it rightfully belonged to them.

10. Yes... beneath the aspen trees...

beside the great river. There I shall nestle it between earth and sky. There it shall wait for me.

There...

(cue Kung Fu theme music)

[HEyHEY]

12. The same bastards that got my dirty magazines

[JVS]

18. The young woodland scavengers are a resourceful group

[HEyHEY]

11. Not a good idea to do so. When I started meds.....

I didn't drink, then got more comfortable and more daring. Long story short I collapsed into a desk and got a concussion. My hip still hurts.

[Writer]

13. Did you drink a lot at that moment?

Or just enjoyed one drink?

BTW: Eek. I'm sorry to hear about that. :(

[HEyHEY]

14. Three glasses of wine and three hoots off a bong

[Writer]

15. That'll do it.

Hrmmm... there's someone I really want to go get a drink with, too. I wonder if one will be okay.

[HEyHEY]

19. BTW know how long you'll be on them for?

I was pissed at the no drinking thing at first... then I lost 35 pounds and my life seemed to improve in all directions.

[Writer]

20. Indefinitely.

:( And yes, m'dear, I've dropped about 7 lbs. since starting on them. And I've been biking because of increased energy. I'm feeling pretty fucking good at the moment. :D But I sure wish I could have a drink.

[HEyHEY]

21. That'll pass

Seriously... I'm at a point now where I may get drunk every now and then... but don't miss it.

[JVS]

23. Do you stop the meds if you're going to get drunk or do you risk...

the whole passing out suddenly thing?

[HEyHEY]

27. I just don't drink a like I used to - I.E. not a WHOLE bottle of Whiskey

I used to be able to drink an entire bottle of Irish Whiskey straight in a night. Now... a couple ounces and I'm in a happy place.

22. For one thing you quit looking like a deranged maniac

As evidence I point to picture 12 of 17 in your photobucket account. Now compare to the relative sanity in picture 7. BTW, is that your sister in pic 11? :-)

[HEyHEY]

24. Yes, pic 11 IS my sister.... jeez

[JVS]

25. AHAAH! You have failed to keep her unseen by me!

[HEyHEY]

26. haha

I'll tell ya though... my deranged maniac pic is awesome. I looked like that ALL THE TIME back then and that one is mild. The real downer is I can no longer wear my shirt that reads, "Beer fuelled Maniac"
Oh well.
I was something of a legend. All the time people say, "I miss drunk jer" inlcuding the groom's father at a recent wedding. He actually set out to get me drunk... and succeeded... I ended up pole dancing.

and the new me

16. What the hell's a bong hoot?

Is this some kind of canadian thing?

[HEyHEY]

17. A long inhale
