waking up in a hospital bed.

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! x

surely 'idiot' is taking it a bit far..? for little do you know that i speak five languages fluently, and am heading out to UCL for an undergrad law degree (while also having featured on the cover of a local music magazine alongside captaining the local football side's u-18 squad). 'idiot' was slightly dismissive and unnecessary, i find.

i go out drinking all the time, but this was a new experience for me, and something to learn from.

i live in Germany, where, surprisingly, less people complain about money. looks like someone's butthurt regarding their income!


it makes me happy to know that there are people who actually think before blurting things out. thank you. x

'kenn dein limit', i read it everywhere. just because you don't get laid doesn't mean you should be going around recycling jokes that have already been mentioned in the thread, k thanks


mate, just.. if it were that bad, i wouldn't have chilled all day today. i understand you feel the need to be funny in an online community, but relax yea?

I agree with you entirely and your signature is a lie

OP probably doesn't want to be any girl at parties...

You just need to believe!!

I tried! It's just not working for me

Then you can never get to Neverland

You're 17 so under the legal drinking age. Your Mum has a responsibility to keep you safe and make sure you act within the law. Her punishing you is her way of living up to her responsibilities. Be grateful you have a responsible parent.

nahh not in germany mate. 16 is the legal drinking age. found that out on a school trip, nice suprise

:'( But I don't want to grow up!

Well tough ****, you grew up as soon as you failed to taste the orangey goodness!

(carrot AND stick, aren't you impressed )

NOOO :'(
I am very impressed, but also upset! (u)

haha no worries, I wasn't calling you out or anything :P

I just assumed that because they were 17 they may not have had much experience with alcohol and know what their limit was

i don't think that's what he meant. it doesn't make you 'interesting', but living through the experience once is something you can learn from, and eventually laugh about in retrospect.

I don't know what to say, would you like cake?

who in the world could say no to cake?

I have no idea!
