Saturday night, my bf & I went to a friend's birthday party. He had it in a banquet room that is attached to a bar/restaurant. Well, everything was fine, I was drinking more than I usually do, but wasn't throwing back shots or anything. I was feeling a little buzzed while we were in the banquet room, but other than that, fine. The party ended upstairs and most of us that were at the party went downstairs to the bar. By that point, I'd had about 3-4 drinks. I had 2 more drinks in the bar, and all of a sudden, I felt wasted. I can only remember bits and pieces, most of that part of the night is gone. Yes, I know that's a lot of alcohol, but I've had that much in the past and although I've felt drunk, I felt different. I remember going out to the car, but don't remember the ride home, barely remember walking in the door. Bf said that I passed out on the floor… but I woke up in bed. Yesterday when I woke up (we were woken up by the phone around 11), I felt disoriented, a little bit of a headache, but mostly dizzy and nauseas. I felt drunk when I woke up. Yet, I had slept for 9 hours, and that should've been long enough to get the alcohol out of my system. Spent all day in bed yesterday because each time I tried to sit up, move, or stand, I was overcome by nausea and dizziness. Got sick 6 or 7 times yesterday, mostly dry heaves, but after drinking water or anything else, that came up too. I finally felt well enough to get out of bed around 9pm last night, although I still got sick two more times. I've had hangovers before, but this one didn't seem like a normal hangover. Typically I'll have a splitting headache and have some nausea, but that is usually gone part-way through the day, and I rarely would get sick. There certainly seemed like a few people there that would be skeevy enough to slip something in my drink, who knows, maybe even the bartender? I know that I also put my drink down a few times, so I'm sure that there was an opportunity. One thing is for sure, I'm never going back there again!
What are the symptoms? Is this something that can be tested or does it leave your body too fast? Fortunately I was there with my bf, so nobody could take me out with them or anything. Or maybe I did just drink too much.. I'm not 21 anymore!
