Public Service Announcement

Just so that everyone is entirely clear: never, ever, ever drink a triple of apricot schnapps after drinking a double of whiskey. Even if your friend is feeling bad because she poured the apricot schnapps and ended up disliking the taste, it would be much wiser to waste the money and send the apricot schnapps down the sink instead of down your throat. Whiskey and apricot schanpps do not mix. You probably want to extend this to other forms of schnapps, too. I'm just sorry that most of last night occured in poor shingan's bathroom instead of my own, and I can't express how grateful I am she and Heyoka, one of the accross-the-hall flatmates, got me to bed without injury to any of us.

I wouldn't wish the way I felt last night on my worst enemy. The knowledge that some people I consider friends get to that state voluntarily and repeatedly amazes me. I'm just glad I remember all of it; I'd be a lot more worried otherwise.

This has been a public service announcement.
