Drunk at work....

pickarooney · 08-11-2004 02:42PM

Have a shower, if such luxuries are available at your place of work.

Roar · 08-11-2004 03:36PM

well i'm on lunch now, still dying now. just had a roll, a packet of walkers, a litre of milk and some panadol. don't feel drunk anymore, just sluggish. mybrain feels like it wants to remove itself from my skull.

ah well, only 8 hours left to go!!

i'd try and sneak out to the nearest pub for a pint fix........ nothing like the hair of the dog to cure what ailes ya

I find that on the odd occasion that I have been at work with a bad hangover and the two occasions I've shown up to work still drunk, drinking water, eating some fruit and a fry work great.

What really does it for me though is a large McD's chocolate milkshake or even those ice pops that are like orange ice on the outside and ice cream on the inside. I find it just clears my head right up?

Also a friend of mine swears by cans of diet coke.

He doesn't have the shakes from drink, he has them from lack of drink, anyway he cant be a doctor, he's complaining about being HALF drunk.

A girl I know did some work experience in a hospital for 6 months. Said that on Monday mornings, you'd find some of the junior doctors hooked up to a drip, to rehydrate themselves after a night out. "You can't have doctors with fuzzy heads" she said, seemingly oblivious to the obvious solution to not having a sore head when you're supposed to be doctoring the next day.

stevenmu · 08-11-2004 05:43PM

I've heard that one too from a nurse in James'. Good old saline solution, I've been trying to get her to bring some home for me but they have some silly policy about nurses removing equiptment from the hospital

therecklessone · 08-11-2004 09:42PM

A litlle late now, but I'd have recommended nipping down the pub for a few refreshing pints, put you in a much better mood and kill the hangover.

Don't think your boss would appreciate it though...

Granny Smith, your only woman.

Have a Granny Smith apple - get's the smell of drink off your breath. Also de-furries the tongue.

I would also heartily endorse Lucozade Sport and lots of water.

I agree.. apples are great for hangovers and makin ya feel better before work.

Thankfully when im in work drunk im usually stuck working behind the carvery where ya'll sweat the drink outta ya by the time you get your break.

Plus i do split shifts so a few hours in the morning usually means 3 - 4 hours off to sober up before i'm in for the night

Roar · 09-11-2004 12:05PM

christ yesterday was the longest day EVER!!! thanks to everyone who pitched in with advice,much appreciated. getting to bed last night was the best thing i've ever done. unfortunately i'm back in work today, but thank god, not like i was yesterday. in fact i even had a shower and a shave before i went to work this morning, put on a nice shirt and everything.

so thanks again everyone, and i like i said the last time i went to work drunk, it'll never happen again.

im not a doctor BTW

Tiesto · 09-11-2004 12:14PM

Um.. Where do you work?..
Not because i'd stop going there because I have an image of you drunk and sweating over my dinner. no just because i'm curious. :eek:

KlodaX · 24-11-2004 12:27PM

I am wasted. last thing I remember is drinking absent. I don't think I have been home... no I haven't. no car.

I think maybe you had better find somewhere to sleep it off - Absynthe can be a BITCH to shake off....... I spent a weekend in Prague in January, & man the amount of red & regular absynthe I got through made me a very sick puppy & trying to shake off the effects was a nightmare.... sleep is your only man for that!!!

Absinthe is possibly the coolest drink ever! While I was living in Vienna, we had to drink as it was so cold. (obviously. -26 degrees on christmas day, what else can you do?) Anyway, we were out ALL DAY and at 8pm we decided to do an Absinthe challenge. One bottle between 3 people. In two hours, the sugar works etc..
Two hours later we left the pub, mission accomplished. Feeling a wee bit "merry", I threw a snowball at my g/f and hit a passerby about 15ft away from her. That mould have been fine but the passerby had 6 friends with them. Cue the biggest snowball fight ever! The bar emptied and there was possibly 40 people throwing snowballs at each other and all complete strangers! Needless to say, I fell on my ass lots.
We went to a club, someone passed me a weird cigarette and after that it got messy. You know the "smack my bitch up" video by the Prodigy? That was my vision. I was bouncing off pillars, walls, people etc.
And I can tie this in to this thread, because after all this shananigans I called into the bar I worked in and had to help out. I ended up doing a strip on the bar I worked in. Thank god there was no CCTV.

And the morale of the story is: Absinthe makes you absent

Oh yes, my favourite conundrum... What you do is, you tell your friends that you have been feeling a bit weird recently up there (in your head) so you went to the doctor who advised you should have a psychiatric exam. You went to have the exam, and were diagnosed a borderline scizophrenic which will require medication for life. So shocked, you thought a drink would do you the world of good. You met/arranged to meet your friends cos you felt really lonely. But the night turned out to be so good you didn't want anyone to know so you kept it hidden until (insert your own name here for your other inner half) made an appearance.

Saying this will garner sympathy and forgiveness from friends. And they need never know the truth for AT LEAST 6 months.

I'd also invent the dreaded "winter vomiting bug" and tell your boss your coming down with it and leave, snuggle up under a duvet and watch Rainbow or some other generic childrens TV at home.

Hope this helps

Anyone's who's prepared to be hooked up to a drip the next day for the sake of their "habit" has to be an alcoholic. I mean needles, argghhhhh. Do their veins not get ****ed from being put on a drip weekly?

KlodaX · 24-11-2004 01:44PM

pity me. I'm stupid.

still not too bad... residue of absent is making me giddy. not getting much work done. I can only imagion how much pain I will be in later. But that is later. For now I'm figity and ignorance is bliss. Beginning to get the shakes abit. Thankfully my job isn't really important.

Brain surgen. What could go wrong?

Virtual hug very appriciated. Really need a real one though. Might get rid of the shakes.

KlodaX · 24-11-2004 03:31PM

Good - day is moving quickly
Bad - can hardly bear to open my eyes and got the shakes

Drunk at work....
