Off the wagon

So, in the 5 years we've had children, I've probably had alcoholic beverages on 3 occasions. And the one time I got drunk (my 10-year class reunion - can you blame me?), I was laid up the entire next day. I wonder if it was the 2 packs of cigarettes I smoked that night?

At any rate, hangovers are not my friend. Especially when you have 2 young boys to care for the next day.

Over the last couple months, I've indulged in a few cocktails. I've realized that I am not 80 and I can enjoy a beverage or two (or four) if I want. I even found a wine that doesn't give me a hangover (even after drinking the entire bottle myself). I may not remember portions of the evening, but I didn't get sick. Success!

I found this wine at the wine bar near my office, so I frequent this place often. I get the same server every time and she knows my order. It's just like college! Hmm... not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing.

So, last night, we had a work happy hour and I, again, enjoyed my wine. After 3 glasses, I decided it was time to go. I came home, ate everything not nailed down and passed out. And this morning? I had a headache. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. Is my good run over?

I need some Motrin, a fountain Coke, and a nap.
