So a coworker who sits in a cube next to mine was telling a story to his friend…about his friends drinking escapades last night (being Monday night). The entire story consisted of his friends drinking various amounts of liquor and beer, and then having to excuse themselves to go throw up, b/c they are so full (from supper), that it’s too much for their stomach to handle.
Two things:
1, Monday night, what the heck? Who does a drinking showdown on Monday night? I think it’s called alcoholism…
2, how do you talk about throwing up so casually? Excusing yourself from your friends to go throw up, and announcing it, like it’s a badge of honor, just seems so weird to me. And then going back to hang with your friends AFTER having thrown up. After I throw up I just want to curl in a ball on my bed and not move, not go party. And they were out, so it’s not like any of them had toothbrushes or anything.
I just don’t get it.

I love this post. It's so true. Daily I hear people talk about their drinking evenings as if they deserve a trophy.
