does it really look like that when you're drunk? Must be kinda scary
Well, if it looked like that, you'd be in a really bad way, Jezi - definitely feeling the need to be unwell.. most people who would feel they had a bit too much to drink wouldn't be that bad very ofen (though maybe some would argue).
It reminds me of the one or two times when I hadn't realised how much I had actually consumed (foreign places, unfamiliar beverages - that's my excuse), and suddenly it hits you that something is very very wrong.
It's definitely a case of 'never again'...but the scary thing is that for some people, it can be life-threatening to drink that much.
On 14 September, the 'Junior Certificate' results will be out here in Ireland - a big day for 15-16 year-olds (including one in this house
). We had a talk in the school a while back - a doctor told us on the 'results' night, the hospitals have their busiest night of the year - and some of the people who arrive in A & E have more than double the potentially fatal amount of alcohol in their bloodstream. It is indeed very scary.
