Alcohol. It’s the nectar of the gods. It relaxes us. It refreshes us. Sometimes it even undresses us. But there is a certain point where alcohol stops benefitting and starts hurting. It can affect your work, your well-being, your life, and your wallet. Have you ever spent $30 at Taco Bell when you were sober? Exactly. Here is a list of warning signs for which you should be on the lookout before you cross that line.
- You go to bed with a 10 and wake up next to a one. A two is okay–it happens to the best of us. When she’s a one, it’s time to get help.
- You throw up all over the front seat of your roommate’s Lexus while he is driving you home from the one’s house.
- You have to throw out all your underwear after only a weekend-long bender.
- You wake up in your car in a parking deck with a half-eaten pizza in your lap…twice.
- You go on a bender in Vegas and sober up a week later to 100 missed calls and a court summons for polygamy charges.
- You wake up spooning a farm animal.
- You try to pee out the window and end up soaking important paperwork. And a laptop.
- You’ve stopped going to church because of your hangovers.
- You wake up after a night of tequila drinking with morning wood and, at the same time, you have to puke.
- You try to send a picture of your boner to your ex-girlfriend and it ends up going to your boss.
- You insert a syringe of vodka into an orange and bring it to the office with your lunch.
- You’ve been caught with your pants down. Literally.
- You wake up with grass stains all over your clothes.
- You start regularly waking up with your shoes on and your pants off.
- You start using bourbon as a condiment. Bourbon chicken is okay, but then it’s bourbon steak, bourbon potatoes, bourbon salad dressing, bourbon ice cream, and of course, bourbon bourbon.
- You wake up one morning and realize you spent $1,500 on eBay buying things you don’t even want with money you don’t even have.
- You sexted your ex-girlfriend’s best friend and sister in a group text.
- You show up hungover to your godson’s baptism and puked in the holy water.
- You’re no longer phased by waking up with your clothes torn to shreds and a gash across your chest.
- Your bartender feels guilty about serving you “the usual.”
- Sean Penn reaches out to you and recommends rehab.
- People you haven’t had sex with know what your genitalia look like.
- You know “Napoleon Dynamite” word for word.
- You’re on a first name basis with patients AND nurses at the Betty Ford Clinic.
- Your drinking friends and your real friends are not the same people.
- Your friends told you to slow down and try weed instead.
- Your liver feels like Floyd Mayweather used it as a heavy bag.
- Your urine is so concentrated, you’ve melted a urinal cake with a single stream.
- You’re banned from happy hour at multiple establishments.
- Sterling Cooper & Partners would never hire you because you drink too much.
#31. You were scared to open this list, already knowing you would identify with most of them.
#20,25, and 28. no question about it.
#10. Why I’m glad I have a work-only cell phone.
#29… I haven’t had a good long island since 2010. This 86 incident single handedly made me have to switch to G&Ts. Fuck.
Gotta love that bourbon bourbon. I need it like I need that propane propane.
