Okay, Jai IS a stupid tosser ._.;;

Okay, last night I DID do something really stupid. Today I'm paying for it in spades. I have never in my life 'blacked out' before (i.e. having absolutely no recollection of events). I had two double shots of vodka, which is fine... but what I apparently did AFTER that was take FOUR prescription-only sleeping pills. Temazepam. Effing Temazepam.

FUCK. I'm only supposed to take one or two, but for some reason I took FOUR. I think I just desperately wanted to sleep. Instead, Jei had to rush over at like 2am to make sure I wasn't dead x.x Apparently I was trying to take more, and painkillers too. I sent her some fucked up emails and texts also, in which my spllin ws lik this; x.x

Also I'm just now realising that alcohol + Temazepam (even at a prescribed dose) is dangerous :\

Yeah, so... I need to make sure that I don't EVER do that again x.x I am SO fortunate that I only took 4 and not the whole damn bottle. Ugh.

Today I am okay. Just feeling mildly spacey, tired and generally unwell. And stupid. And I want to go home x.x But eh. I'm learning stuff I needed to learn, I guess? x.o

Basically, ANY drug and booze equals bad.

I am glad you're OK, though.

Oh, please be careful. :hug:

Never ever ever take sleeping pills with alcohol.
Same goes for a lot of drugs, including energy drinks.

I'd definitely trust what Sel just said on this one.

On the plus side, I do think this is at least one of those "That which does not kill you makes you stronger" kind of situations.

Not really - after all, alcohol can damage your body irreversibly.
Also for future reference:
Mixing alcohol and sleeping pills can be a somewhat horrible mix. Because both of these pills are depressants, they can cause some serious side effects if they are taken at the same time. When they are taken together, they cause your body to relax more than it really should. This means that your breathing drastically is slowed down. This is bad because the less oxygen gets to your blood cells the more your blood pressure drops. Your blood pressure dropping can lead to a number of things that will be quite harmful for your body. If you stop breathing for long enough, it could put your body into a coma. The lack of air entering your body will eventually begin to affect the performance of your organs. If you are not taken care of immediately once your body is put into a coma, it is very likely that you will die due to lack of oxygen and a number of other things.

Hmm...that's a good point, Sel.

I've heard that too much alcohol can cause an Alzheimer's like disease that causes people to be stuck remembering only old memories, and unable to retain new memories for any more than a short period of time. I found that pretty terrifying, and a good argument for mercy killings.

We had a man who had brain damage from being an alcoholic..
Anyway, your liver can process on average one drink an hour. A good rule of thumb to keep healthy is to drink one glass of water per a serving of alcohol. This helps prevent hangovers and keeps your body hydrated.
Your liver can only handle so much of that poison at a time. :/ High levels of alcohol also cause damage to your central nervous system.

Hmm...Makes a lot of sense. Synchs up with everything I've heard about the stuff.

[radioactivepiss.livejournal.com]

Oh Jesus o_o Any sort of drug plus that kind of alcohol = bad, obviously.

...;_; Yeah, please don't do that again D: [Hug] Take care of yourself, OK? ♥♥♥♥♥

[the-terrible.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHIT.

Yeah, PLEASE don't let yourself do anything like that again. You're gonna make me worry about you now.
