I have some kind of "mental blockage" when it comes to vodka.
Take one: My birthday, October 2004. I drank vodka and sprite, and as usual, ditched the sprite and drank straight out of the bottle. I left feeling ok, then all of a sudden I was puking my guts out for 3 days straight. The whole entire time I'm saying "Omigod! I'll NEVER drink again, EVER!"
Take two: Going Away Party for co-worker, February 2005. I got there late and started drinking a sprite and vodka while talking to some friends from work. I couldn't stay long because I was meeting my mom in like an hour or two. Eight shots of vodka later and I'm rushing out of the restaurant to drive, yes, I know driving drunk to meet my mom is a bad combo. But I'm totally not aware that I'm smashed. Going to meet my mom. Why would I drink so much if I was supposed to meet my mom? I try to sleep for a few minutes before she gets there but I'm entirely to dizzy to do anything besides stare. I tried my very hardest to appear sober when she got there, which wasn't going to well seeing as my mom said "It smells in this car!" and I, trying to appear more sober ask "It smells? Like what?" mom answers "Like someone spilled a large glass of alcohol!" to which I start laughing uncontrollably and say "That's my breath!" I couldn't stop, I just kept laughing and laughing. Next thing I know, I'm home, puking my guts out, reminscent of era 2004, exactly 4 months earlier.
Note to self: Quit the drinking Vodka thing. For good.
