I drank the whole thing.
Last night my sister and her boyfriend came over. I whipped out the bottle of sparkling wine I’d bought the night before and popped its cork. No one wanted any but me.
It was very tasty. I spent a little more on this bottle than I typically do because it was Valentine’s Day. Not that that is really a reason. But the bubbly nectar was delicious on my tongue, and I couldn’t stop drinking it, even with the veggie pizza we ordered. Just after they left I drained the last of the dark glass bottle. I’ve never consumed an entire bottle of any wine or alcohol, except of course beer.
This morning I awoke to the boyfriend handing me a full tumbler of water. "Even your hair looks drunk," he told me. Two hours ago I think it still was.
Every breath I take is like inhaling a big glass of sand. I’m so tired I could sleep right here, sitting up, if I just closed my eyes and kept them shut. I considered calling in, but big girls don’t call in with champagne hangovers.
I will soldier on. But the blood in my veins feels carbonated.

Ouch.
One of the best cures I’ve found for any kind of wine hangover is to suck on ice…it keeps your insides from feeling like they’re on fire, keeps your mouth cool and rehydrates you when the thought of chugging water makes you want to hurl.
Good luck!
Who cares…go throw up
If you start drinking now, you’ll feel much better by noon. :) But seriously, I’m glad you didn’t call in- we would have been lost without you. Hope it passes soon!
Tomato Juice, and Alka Seltzer.
Not together unless you like that sort of thing.
This is like that time that we went to see The 40-year-old Virgin and I bought that giant Diet Coke to share with you and you didn’t want any and i drank the whole thing and nearly ruptured my bladder. I had a kidney hangover for a few days.
I should have taken a picture of your hair.
Last time I had a hangover, I had been drinking at a friends house in State College (I live in Pittsburgh). Beer and whiskey, which is said to be a dangerous combo, and indeed it was. Worse, I lost count of how many I had drunk, and so did my friend and his friends. That had never happened. So, yes, I got sick. Then the next day, I had to go back to Pgh (5 hours) on a Greyhound, not exactly the best solution for a hangover.
Get well and stay local.
Well done, with dedication we could build you up to whole bottles of vodka.
“Even your hair looks drunk”
awesome!
If you were truly dedicated to your craft, you would have posted a picture of your near-death self.
