"I Got Caught By My Friend's Parent"

Share Your Story: What Went Wrong When I Got Drunk

From anonymous

When Did It Happen?

Summer before junior year.

Where Did It Happen?

A friend's shack party.

What Had You Been Drinking?

I had two bottles of smirnoff vodka, with some Pepsi or Coke.

What Went Wrong?

I drank too much and blacked out. Don't remember half the night. Only things people told me that happened. I ended up getting caught by my friend's parent that night and he called my parents.

What were the Consequences?

After a while I stopped using chaser because I couldn't taste the alcohol. Someone I went to take a shot with asked me if I should still be drinking, and that was the last thing I actually remember. I made out with a good friend when I had been talking to this other guy that I really, really liked. I started crying and no one could figure out why. Probably at least four different people helped me go to the bathroom that night and I don't remember it at all! When me and my friend finally decided it was time to go home, I don't remember leaving the party. I remember getting to her house and leaning out of the vehicle and started throwing up. The person who drove us home had to carry me to the door and my friend's dad was still awake and she had to push me up the stairs. Unfortunately her dad could tell I was belligerently wasted and he called my parents. I lost the trust of my parents and I probably had the worst hangover of my life the next day.

Lessons Learned

  • Don't have two bottles of vodka in your hands the entire night!
  • Know your limit of alcohol.
  • Be in a happy surrounding.
