Want to know how I know I'm old? Because I can no longer drink alcohol like I could when I was 23. I went out for drinks on Friday night. I met some of my former co-workers for happy hour. I was the first one to get there at 4:50. The next person to show did not get there until 6:15. So looking like a total loser, sitting at a table for six by myself, I decided to just drink. I was on my third beer when my friends showed up. I then proceeded to drink another three beers, a Malibu and diet Coke, and a shot (some fruity concoction) through the course of the night. I had a great time. I really did. But then I woke up Saturday morning....totally hungover. And I stayed hungover all day. I was miserable. Every time I stood up, I was dizzy and nauseous. Basically, I was in a horizontal position either in my bed or on my couch all day. The hubs was so sweet. He took the girls out for a few hours and told me to go back to bed.
At 3 o'clock, I was able to stand up long enough to get dressed for our date night (dinner and going to see The Hunger Games with another couple). Normally, the text I received from my friend would have been awesome. She texted me a couple hours before the movie to let me know that she was bringing water bottles full of Diet Coke and Malibu rum (for us to enjoy during the movie). I felt nauseous just thinking about drinking it. Needless to say, I passed on the offer. The good news was that by the time the movie started at 4:45, I was feeling better. Thank goodness. But I have learned that I am no longer 23 and my body is not a fan of drinking that much anymore. It's official, I am old. Ha!
