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.

Well, people do start at all different hours because of all the different time zones. Do post some kind of "I'm here now" comment in the FWF comm when you get there. Part of the fun of FWF is the running comments from participants as we all get more stupidly inebriated creative.

I appreciated the medical details you give here -- I always like learning medical stuff.
