Shame

Back in the day I used to be able to drink my own weight in beer, get up the next morning at six am, and start drinking again. At least that's what I'm told. But recently, I've been getting hungover from literally just one drink. And not even the next day, but like twenty minutes later. So I became obsessed with those ads for that Chaser stuff and finally broke down a few weeks ago and decided to try it. The catch was that they don't actually sell it anywhere. I skulked around three different pharmacies by myself trying to find it, unsuccessfully, and then finally dragged a friend along with me, who I forced to talk to the clerks for me to ask whether they had it. They did not, and they looked at us like we must be total degenerate alcoholic prostitutes for asking. ("Look Sharelle, I think I see track marks on the tall one's arms!") Eventually I realized I could just buy it online and ordered it at drugstore.com. Even online though, you don't escape being judged. When you add it to your shopping cart, it helpfully suggests that you may also be interested in purchasing a Clearblue Easy Earliest Results Pregnancy Test 2 pack and a box of Mucinex. Dammit, just because I want to go out and drink to excess with no consequences doesn't mean I'm a runny-nosed whore!
