I got some really shitty news today. What I really want to do is to have a few dozen drinks but I'm on too much medication and can't have alcohol. I went for a nice long walk and now I'm in pain. So I decide to go out and buy some Chocolate Chip Cookies to shock my system - I'm diabetic and haven't had any in forever - but my neighbor is using the car (long story).

So I'm having some (regular sugar) instant cocoa. Ha. Take that, bad news! I'll need a little extra insulin in the morning.

Not the same as getting satisfyingly drunk.

I don't think I've ever been on meds and NOT had a drink. Then again, I'm a fucked up individual and you should probably not follow my lifestyle.

Pain meds are greatly improved by the addition of alcohol...or maybe it's alcohol that's greatly improved by the addition of pain meds...:p either way...:biggrin:

So...wanna talk about the source of your current problems?

Also, mixing alcohol with pain meds usually just result in a stronger acting pain med.

Just sayin'.

That's why you're alone, Alone.

Heart meds. I know how sick alcohol will make me. Experience.

Problems? The usual, money and health. Not really worth talking about, just want to forget about it for a spell. Thanks for asking.

Sorry for your real life blues, princess i, but I have never understood getting drunk to escape your feelings.

If you're blue, doesn't getting drunk make you a maudlin, weeping, sorry-assed drunk?

If you're angry, doesn't getting blotto'ed make you an angry drunk?

From my earliest days as a kid watching lame-ass movie Westerns on TV with the good guy getting bad news and going into a bar and ordering some rotgut, throwing it back and exclaiming, "Thanks, I needed that!", I have never understood this.

To me, it's a freaking myth.

So, ummmmm, details dear . . . dish. He didn't deserve you anyway! ;)

More than likely; I've also had a lot of perks up my nose, perknose.

Speaking of that, would it kill you to invest in a nose hair trimmer? It's a jungle up there! I could put my eye out! :D
