I wake head pounding, dizzy,
the room swirling.
Opening my eyes  - tricky,
bloodshot and puffy.
Feel like being sick,
I'm giving up drink.
This is gross...
I can taste rank vodka 
and I stink!
Perhaps that last glass
was a mistake, or maybe
it was the last two,
Three?
how many was it exactly?
What was that terribly 
amusing thing I did 
With the glass and that blokes ring?
Everyone was laughing
So it must have been funny
Right?
What was it I sent?...
A picture of something 
Oh - my pants. I remember...
sat on the loo, but to who?
No! 
Not my boss? 
was that who I sent it to?!!
That's awful, 
I think I'll stay in bed,
pull the covers up over my head,
pretend none of that happened
and never ever do it again.
Anyway, I was hardly to blame:
I hadn't eaten, 
people kept buying rounds 
and shots that were - blue?
Drank too quick too.
I won't drink again I'll
detox (is that what it's called?)
I'll have green tea 
or something and eat...
salad and what not.
I won't drink again cos 
I hate trying to think 
through this fog.
Except...
when all's said and done 
 
Hair of the dog?

Yes. It's true. I'm sure we all have a story or other to tell (or maybe not because we couldn't really remember it)

It's the same anmesia you get with childbirth.  It hurts like hell at the time, but somehow, a little while later, it all seems like a terribly good idea again...

Enjoyed and empathised with this!
