The days I will always remember and smile : When I Drank to Stupor, Not to Stupid

You know in life there are things you will do or pass through, that on a faithful day, you will always look back or remember those things and you can't just help but smile. And my own happened to me for good two times.

Yes, I think on two occasions, I drank to stupor, not to stupid.

After my degree exams, I don't really do spirit because of the high alcoholic content, but out of joy of finishing exams and the last exams in uni, my department decided to sit out, and it was spirit throughout. I remember before leaving house that evening, I cooked, but since I didn't want to go stay long outside, I decided not to eat. But my neighbor couldn't allow me go out without eating, she told me she wanted to eat my food, I told her okay let me dish for you, after dishing for her, she insisted I must eat with her. I told her I am late ooooo, that I will eat mine when I come back. She didn't agree and kept insisting that we eat together , I had no choice than to eat with her. Behold that was what served me oooooo.

Well, it was not funny that night, but I had to locate my house, went back home, and slept off. Just that I was very weak and didn’t recover myself well for about 5 days.

Well, that was the night I understood that most people who passed on after drinking with friends might not really be poisoned, but victims of the effect of the drink, especially if they didn’t eat and the alcohol drained all the little glucose left in the body. You might just sleep like that till you reunite with your ancestors.

The next one happened right in my compound when my landlord’s pikin celebrated his birthday. You know guys na, so we ate and drank as usual. I carefully avoided spirit this time, and I stuck to my usual palmy. But I never knew they had box things and things in the palmy. You know guys na, when ever they sit to drink they will always love mixing all kinds of stuff inside a particular drink, I don't know know the benefit of all those stuff, bc personally I have not seen one apart from getting you high which has no economic advantage.

So the palmy was not our usual palmy. The thing dealt with me, and I immediately located my room, threw up, and slept off. The next morning I was so weak and had to find where they sell smoothie, buy drink, and regain some nutrients. The funny thing is that , in all these highness, I knew myself and understood what was going on in my environment. but the strength to control it was not there. That's why anybody can easily harm or defeat a powerful man who is drunk.

The first time taught me that celebration without caution can backfire, while the second one reminded me that even trusted drinks like palmy can disappoint when it is mixed.

Till today, I respect myself when it comes to drinks. I dey waka jeje, because body no be firewood and liver no be generator.
And Everytime I remember these two incidents I will always, look back and smile and ask myself, Nsi so you were really high? Hahahahah.
