Things I learned over the weekend:
1. NYC bars don't close until 4am and the restaurants are seemingly open 24/7
2. Paying $14 for a rum and coke hurts the worst the first time.
3. Bottle service makes you look like a douche. And the mixers are terrible.
4. If you get drunk enough you won't feel your dress catching on fire.
5. Throwing up in the subway will get you a ticket.
6. I'm not 21 anymore.
Re: Things I learned over the weekend:
$14 for a drink?!?!! That actually sounds more painful than your dress catching on fire.
Oh yeah.....and getting old sucks.
LOL. It's amazing how you cease to be able to handle your liquor the older you get. Wait 'til you hit your thirties. Did you really get a ticket for puking on the subway?
The following is a true story.
Once, in college, when I was driving four hours home to my parents' house after a drunken night out, I knew I had to puke (urgently) but didn't want to sully the car. So I grabbed my purse, dumped everything on the floor of the car, and puked into that. I threw the purse away in the nearest McDonald's dumpster.
My roommate (who is still one of my closest friends today) teased me mercifully about this, but later she came to appreciate my ingenuity when coming home on the subway after a festive July 4th, she used her purse for a similar purpose.
Just a tip should you (or your friends) ever find yourself in a similar situation.
Obviously if you have $200 purses, this is not as viable an option. But when you do your purse shopping at Target or similar budget store, this purpose cannot be dismissed.
Omg, I have totally done this. Except it wasn't my purse. HA!
$14 for a drink? Holy shiit. It pays not to but your own drinks!
Yeah, I always aim for free drinks, but the guys at this club were super skeevy. It was gross.
glad you had a good time (or did you?)!
when i moved from ny to va it was so weird that the bars closed at two . now that i'm back in ny i never go out!
We had an awesome time. It was a bachelorette party for my closest girlfriend. In total there were 15-- SO many girls! haha
It actually wasn't my dress that caught on fire (thank god). We're not exactly sure how it happened, but we assume she fell into the table and got too close to the candle and it just went up. She was so drunk she didn't even notice until this morning that it had actually burned through the dress and her skin. We're lucky one of the girls we're with is a vet (lol) and always keeps supplies with her, so she cleaned and dressed it. She always has the best stories the next day.
