It's never just one drink...

DON'T BELIEVE THEM! No matter what people may tell you, it is never just one drink. It is not possible.

As it's exams, last night was supposed to be a chilled night of pool and maybe one or two ciders. I should have suspected something when the friend with whom I was going to play pool suggested finishing off her bottle of vodka before we left. To be fair, there wasn't much left and I figured hey, why not. Once we reached Pirates, we decided to take a shot each to prep us for the game. Then we bought cane and mix because it was on special, and students never turn down specials!

Once we'd been kicked off the pool tables, we were at a loss of what to do. Then someone (regrettably it may have been me) suggested that we go to Monument and have a few drinks up there. One friend wisely pointed out that our night could only go downhill from there (pun totally intended), but we ignored him in the interest of fun. Within a few minutes - and after a brief trip to Pick n Pay - we were comfortably ensconced on a wall at Monument, surrounded by far too much alcohol.

By 1am we'd had enough of playing Never Have I Ever (plus the alcohol was finished) so we headed down to the Rat. At this point I was far tipsier than I'd intended to be, possibly even bordering on drunk. However the Rat dance floor was far too empty for our level of drunkenness so we  made a move towards Friars. This mission was interrupted by some drunken DMCs. Mine was something to do with the uselessness of a wing-woman when a guy is looking to hook up. I don't remember most of it. :P We finally made it to the holy ground of Friars and bobbed around on the packed dance floor for a while, bumping into people we knew and making new friends. Finally we grew sober and thus sick of being elbowed in the head all the time (actually I might be the only one short enough to have to deal with that) and so we headed home. BUT the night was not yet done! We ended up having more DMCs outside res (as one does) until finally hitting the sack at 3:30am.

There really is no point to this post other than 1) to point out that I had a fantastic evening and 2) to remind people that telling yourself "I'll just have one drink" is a lie. :P
