You’ll get over it.

Why do you confuse this with a place to vent?


Are you new here?

Agree that you should cancel tonight, but I wouldn’t be vague about it. There’s bad norovirus going around and if you canceled plans with me but went to birthday parties and soccer, I’d assume you are irresponsible or lying to me about why you canceled.

I also agree about the McD except it needs the cheese and it’s fine if you get regular coke.

A single / rare occurrence is not cause to diagnose a "disorder". How silly and alarmist.

I’d let him skip the parties because there is socializing involved. He can take a kid to soccer practice though. It’s self inflicted so we wouldn’t get much sympathy from me.

It’s so easy to overindulge when you don’t routinely drink - it takes less alcohol to make you this sick than it did years ago but you forget that when you’re having a blast. I bet this will be the last time he ever gets that drunk regardless of how you react!

I would handle all the kids stuff and tell him he needs to get it together for the party in the evening.

Remind him of all the college tricks---gatorade, some hearty food and a nap.

Cancel tonite unless you want to handle all that yourself. A bad hangover needs a day to recover from.
