A co-worker apparently got drunk last night and got into some trouble.

He woke up this morning unable to see properly out of one eye. He’s gone to hospital and I’ve had to redo the rota. That’s a good reason not to drink.

**Cardinal** not everyone gets hangovers. Me, for instance.

After a night of binge drinking my senses and thought processes are all over the place. Like a trolley with a stuck wheel. But over time my head clears and by the time I feel alert and on the ball It’s time to drink again. But I don’t get headaches. I don’t feel ill. I don’t fear bright light.

And to think… the worst that’s ever happened to me is that I lost my pants for a few hours. In my own bedroom.
