If you're still reading, I'm going to the Big Ten basketball tournament with some friends tonight who will be drinking, and although I'm like 90% better, I have decided to not partake in "the sauce" tonight to allow myself to recover.
I really do hate not drinking when people around me are drinking, and it got me thinking, is it a worse situation for those who don't ever want to drink or for someone who has just decided that he doesn't want to drink? I have had those friends who come out with everyone to bars, sometimes until four in the morning, and they never drink. How do they do it? I try to be understanding of the fact that when people are schnockered all around me and I'm sober, I have been that bad or likely even worse. Still, I get instantly annoyed and want to drink myself closer to where they're at so I'm not annoyed anymore.
UPDATE: I just finished this post when I got home. I had a beer and a half.

I simply puked in a bucket, each puke sent Hershey's a new batch to cook with.
I'm not sure what you had was technically gastric flu, but it sounds bad enough. I hope you felt better after purging at both ends.
I don't mind being sober when other people drink. It makes me feel like an FBI agent.
Bama: Genius! A jumbo bucket though because it goes out to the sides and splatters at the bottom a lot. I will have one on hand for next time and get it all out of me in half the time, thanks to you.
Heff: Yessir. Bama was way ahead of you. I'm not thinking at my best when I'm damn near shitting myself every few minutes.
Gorilla: Could have been food poisoning. They have pretty much the exact same symptoms, either way, not fun. I might have killed myself had it not been for a Russ Meyer movie streaming online.
I'm not too big on drinking but I can't say that for the majority of my friends who really enjoy their liquor. It doesn't bother me if I'm the only one not with a drink in my hand. I haven't ever stayed til 4am at a bar but I've been to more than my fair share of parties that have lasted til 4am without having a drop of alcohol-- I wish I could explain it but I can't.....
PS. Hope you're feeling better!!
Coke: Thanks for your insight, but I would love to know more. How in the hell do you stay that late? Do you place bets on stuff to keep interest?
For me it's probably because I don't sleep very well. I've written several entries about my frustration with the Sandman. I only get about 4 hours of sleep.
Cocaien: I can see that. When I drink a lot, I need like 12 hours of sleep.
