SWM, 23, seeks water, dark place

I think I violated nearly every rule of heavy drinking at the DCist happy hour last night. What the hell did I go to college for? As a public service, here's a refresher in advance of the weekend.

Don't do what I did:

  • Pace yo'self, dammit. What's the rush?
  • You really should eat before downing several pints of Hofsbrau. It's one thing if the hosts tell you there will be food at the event, but do not rely on specifically debunked rumors of free empanadas to provide something for all that booze to land on.
  • Don't try to fix your mistake retroactively by scarfing down a jumbo slice. You'll only feel queasy.
  • No matter what Michael says, another round at the Common Share is not a good idea.
  • If you have too much to drink on a Thursday, think of an excuse in advance to call in sick to work. If you can't call in sick, don't drink too much on a Thursday.

    I totally missed this event. I was down on 18th Street after 11:00 last nite and I figured it was too late.

    I'm sure I'll see some of you at the Walkmen show???
