The Case of the Missing Constitution Check

Okay, so... got super drunk last night. Like super drunk. Super duper drunk. Just really want to emphasize the super and the duper part.

There is something I didn't take into account on Lodge nights.

Every other Wednesday we head to the Lodge for dinner and drinks, meet up with some friends, hang out for a while, and then head home. Usually it's no big deal.

Apparently, this time it was a big deal.

Over the last several weeks I've lost 21 pounds, and it never crossed my mind that maybe alcohol was going to hit a little differently now. So I drank like I normally would. I've always had a pretty high Constitution stat, so I wasn't exactly worried about it.

That was a mistake.

Now, our bartender definitely has a heavy hand when she pours, but did I factor that into my decision-making? No. No, I did not.

Needless to say, things got a little rough after we got home. There may have been some throwing up involved.

The funny part is that at my age, I still don't really get proper hangovers. No pounding headache. No feeling absolutely miserable all day. None of that. I'm just a little more tired than usual today and otherwise seem to be doing okay.

That said, I think I'm good on drinking for a minute. Not that I drink heavily anymore anyway. My alcohol consumption has dropped quite a bit since I stopped streaming D&D games.

Still, lesson learned.

I did have fun from what I remember. Not everything is crystal clear. There are definitely a few blurry spots in the memory reel, but overall it was a good night.

Just maybe one that didn't need quite so many drinks.
