Well, I work until 11:30pm Friday night so I won't get home until probably like midnight, so I'll be getting an even later start than you, I guess?

Like with bad!fic challenges, I'm not sure how badly I'll be able to write even while drinking/drunk, but I'm just planning to enjoy the efforts regardless of the outcome while I maintain a good drunk yet without swerving into "I'll be sorry tomorrow" hangover territory.

It can be such a fine line, heh, but I do have a couple secret weapons: Emergen-C packets, two or three (which is surprisingly full of B vitamins) & Monster energy drink (or knockoff equivalent), one or two. Taken before retiring after an evening of solid drinking, either is (or especially both are!) like the "banana bags"* of IV fluids we give drunks in the ER. Hangover preventative. Haven't had a hangover in years since I learned this trick!

Hmmm. Will clearly have to stop at a liquor store or Walgreens on the way home from work, heh.

*They're called "banana bags" because they're yellow from the B-vitamins we inject into them. Incidentally, alcoholic dementia is a form of severe multi-B-vitamin deficiency that alcoholics get. After a certain point (usually years of excess driving), it becomes irreversible.
