So last Friday night I went out with a friend and between the two of us we had three bottles of wine.
Sure we should of stopped at two and to be honest the third one wasn't completely necessary and kind of big (by big I mean catastrophic) mistake. It's just this thing that I do, once I start, I just can't stop, I get greedy for fun, for more booze, for that feeling to last, but yes we all know it doesn't.
Reading this back I almost sound like an addict....absolute class.
So back to the third bottle of wine....
So after a very respectful dinner and a bottle of lovely Soave it was off to the pub to throw down two more bottles of wine in quick succession.
We had great conversation fab food and the wine went down like the school slut on prom night....quickly and without much hassle.
...pleasant evening...then....fuzziness...then nothing....
My last memory was saying goodbye to my beautiful blonde friend outside the pub... then nothing...next memory sitting on the front doorstep with very bruised knees looking for my keys. Is that bad? Does this mean I have a 'problem'? No matter how hard I try, that is half an hour I will never get back, but will I really miss it?
I looked at the bottom of my shoes for any tell tale evidence, what did I expect I'd find? A photograph, a business card or a stray GPS tracking device?(been watching too much CSI me thinks) When that didn't make things clearer I went on to you tube and searched under 'drunk aussie', 'obnoxious pissed girl on train'and nada, I'm still not sure if I was relieved or annoyed that I didn't find anything.
Relieved because, frankly, who wants to be on the interweb being a total twatty ass but annoyed cause I was no closer to the truth of the missing half hour. When I went back to my local station on Monday to go to work I did have this momentary anxious feeling that someone was going to come up to me like they knew me and start chatting away. Or worse, just start screaming at me whilst pointing at their black eye/bite marks/missing tooth.
So I decided to put my drinking 'issues' to the test....and before you judge, I encourage you to do the tests below (honestly) and see how you come out in the wash.
You answered 5 items out of 20 Yes.(I'm not going to tell you which ones)
Your score is 25%. According to the Office of Health Care Programs, Johns Hopkins University Hospital, developers of this screening quiz, if you answered 3 of these questions with a Yes it is a definite sign that your drinking patterns are harmful and possibly considered alcohol dependent or alcoholic. You may want to seek an evaluation by a health care professional.
Your score indicates that you are dependent on alcohol.
So my friend wants to bet me that I can't stay dry for the whole month of November....who wants in?
