i don't know if this is an everyday issue, but here it goes.
this morning, i woke up in a hospital bed. yepp, alcohol poisoning. in short, i went to a party last night, got drunk out of my mind and apparently passed out; the others, from what i've understood, called an ambulance, with which i was taken to a hospital.
the thing is, i was supposed to be going to a music festival per train with my closest friend today, who also took me to this party. and at the moment, i have no idea what to think of this. i honestly don't think it's much of a deal, but is there something i should do? some kind of drunk etiquette?
i do plan to call my friend later and apologize for letting him down. i'm usually okay with drinking, but this was the first time i've really pushed it too far.
on a related note, my mother thinks confiscating my phone for a while is a good idea. i'm seventeen, and rational enough to understand that while a punishment may help me to come to terms with what i've done, it certainly does not solve any underlying 'issue' or alter my fundamental essence as a person. i'm young, and i'm going to party, and maybe i overdid it this time but surely a punishment is unnecessary?
has anyone gone through any similar experiences, and how did you handle it? thanks!
