A Boozy Odyssey- Diaries from a Tipsy wild night

It wasn’t until my coming-of-age years that I realized I could take pride in being a model child. Reflecting on my teenage years, I don’t recall ever stepping out of character or engaging in wild activities. Much of this adherence to my personal values stemmed from my personality. Despite being exposed to various scenarios that involved mischief and chaos, I never felt the urge to partake in such antics. This tendency continued into my adult years, but even the most disciplined individuals can find themselves in unexpected situations. One such instance brings to mind a memorable, tipsy, experience that I can now laugh about.

About three summers ago, I went clubbing to celebrate a mutual acquaintance’s birthday. The evening began with a relaxed atmosphere, but things quickly escalated as the drinks started flowing freely at the hotel we were staying at...ps- I’ve since become cautious about events where alcohol is the primary focus. For one, alcohol isn’t really my thing, and secondly, I’m a bit of a free food enthusiast .... Anyway, the club had an assortment of alcoholic beverages from rum and whiskey to gin and vodka. Given my preference for lime-flavored drinks, Smirnoff Ice was my choice for the night.After about an hour, the place was loud, and people were getting drowsy and loopy. I had already consumed two bottles of Smirnoff Ice while chatting and occasionally checking my phone. As I started on my third bottle, I was beginning to feel the effects more strongly. Being somewhat conservative and used to being in control, I realized that I was getting loopy myself. When I tried to get up to use the restroom at the hotel, I felt disoriented, as if the room was tilting. I almost lost my balance and had to sit down until I felt steadier. I was shocked that just three bottles of Smirnoff Ice had affected me so much, and I felt a bit frustrated with myself for not handling it better.

Later that night, I ended up driving home at midnight with our friends, which hadn’t been the original plan. I didn’t want to stay the night in that state because it wasn’t my style at 20 years old. Going home alone would have meant walking down the street in my minimal outfit to catch a cab, which I wasn’t comfortable with. In hindsight, I regretted the situation. As someone who likes to maintain control and often finds themselves in a caretaker role, it was unsettling to be so out of sorts. This experience was a rare deviation from my usual self-discipline and control, but it’s one I can look back on with a bit of humor now.

Thanks for reading , see you in my next one.
