Drunk + Bong Hit = Disaster

Last Friday night, I went drinking with my friends to celebrate the end of the 40-hour workweek. With the assistance of free sake and Asahi beer, I was buzzed by 10 PM, couldn’t feel my face by 12:30 AM, and was on top of the world by 1. Admittedly, I drank more than I usually do, but not too much. By the end of the night I was feeling pretty good/pleasantly drunk.

As the evening started to wind down at a friend’s house, I was offered to smoke some weed out of a bong. I love bongs. They remind me of college. Not only that, but getting high makes sleep just that much better, so I said, “Yes, please,” and took a huge rip.

It wasn’t until 10 minutes later, while trying to nod off watching Borat that I felt the room begin to spin. The bong hit fucked me! I tried to keep my composure, but all I really wanted to do was throw up. Thankfully, I didn’t go down in flames as my friend suggested to leave and go eat some breakfast. Hash browns and toast always make me feel better.

This wasn’t the first time a bong rip (while drunk) has screwed me over. Last year, while partying with a bunch of hot male prospects, I was offered to smoke out of this guy’s 3 ft. bong. I thought, “Great, I’m going to get stoned and make-out with a good looking man of my choosing.” I took a large hit like a champ, but soon thereafter was holding onto the couch to stop my vertigo. No kissing, just dry heaving allll nigghht long.

Does a drunk bong hit make anyone else sick? Am I just weak sauce? Does weed after liquor make one that much sicker?
