Confused Surviving GUV Sober...

So after a 4 month tear starting Labor of Love and losing 20 lbs. along the way(thanx Comfort Zone), I decided that after New Years, I would take a 2 week break(minimum) from that friendly vowel everyone loves, E. My first mission was to go to Footwork on 1/6 and make it sober there- done and done. Then the hard part came- goin to GUV being sober. So before I arrive, I had 3 shots of tequila just to get me kinda buzzing. Having an unusually high tolerance for alcohol, I get 3 Cranberry Vodkas(double) and 2 revs when I arrive in the Drink. So I'm buzzing kinda nice, nowhere near drunk and I notice everyone I know is asking me whats wrong. I WAS SOBER!!! kinda.. What was hard was alot of my stingy friends were offering me free E left and right and I had to say no. So around 2:30 I notice that my buzz had wore off and my first thought "oh sh*t I have like 3-4 more hours to go". Feelin a lil shaky, I ended up goin to the Deluxe to sit down for a bit, where I notice myself dozing off. Felt like leaving so bad, but I stayed cuz my buddy was havin the time of his life. Anyway we decided to leave around 6 and I finally saw what Toronto looks like on a Sunday morning.

To sum it up, I've severly sprained my ankles atleast 7 times each, taken University Chemistry and Calculus, had surgery on my stomach, yet nothing was harder than being sober at the one place pretty much everyone is on something. One week down- One more to go.

Things I noticed sober:
1. Girls in the Deluxe Lounge dont smile very often
2. When I was goin to the Gallery, I passed the Orange room and I noticed it smelled like McDonalds and weed.. I had the craziest craving for some fries
3. In the main room, the non-asian crowd is usually found on the outside perimeter.
4. Alot of people are not aware of this insane invention called deoderant.
5. The Drink has the best lookin crowd by far

Re: Surviving GUV Sober...

I dunno, almost ever single time Im at guv, i'm never never on chems...

just some beer, and that buzz wears off pretty quick after 2am if you're dancing hard the whole time.

i dont find i need any drugs to enjoy being at guv atall... lately ive found dropping to be detracting from my overall enjoyable at guvvy.

so long as i enjoy the music, je suis content!

lol you wernt sober thats for sure

dont get trashed at a club when you want to stay until the end, it usually wont happen. have a couple drinks, get a buzz maybe, and drink more energy drinks. if you get trashed, eventually you will want to pass out, and get tired. your blood sugar level goes up with the booze, then shoots down after. if you get trashed, its goign to shoot down alot. so if you expect to leave the club by like 4am, get hammered! if you want to stay until the very end, pace yourself, and go easy on the booze. have some energy drinks after the 2am mark. make sure you have a decent amount of sleep before coming to the club, and make sure you eat a good meal before coming also.

i dunno danny, have u seen me at the clubs. i get pretty fucking hammered.

try to get thru 6-8 beers if i can before even arriving, then usually have 2-4 in the club.

im quite drunk (and usually stoned) well there. i always gotta stay till the end too.

that said, i agree, there are points when u feel urself wearing thin. i enjoy drinking Molson Kick before guv parties... best of both worlds, caffine and alcohol!

My latest largest break was LOL till NYE (and only my supreme lack of alcohol made me decide to drop (as an alternative))

Whats that, like 4 months... never even had the urge to pop. Or wished that i would just pop a pill so my night could be made better.

i didnt want to pop on NYE either, but it was NYE and i wanted to fucked up, and since beer wasn't around for me, i turned to E

If you dance hard and dance all night, that urge is super strong cuz personally, I CANNOT last 8 hours dancing as hard as I do w/o performance enhancing drugs. lol. and since the music at CZ is so wicked, no way in hell can I last in there w/o anything let alone being sober.

then how about you stop going to Guv for a little while? it's a lot less tempting to do pills at home

hahaha, yea I noticed that too. I think he means not getting fucked up with E, but alcohol is all good.

I don't get you guys...

All this talk about being sober yet you drink enough to make your liver cry out in pain...(slight exageration but you get my point)

Look...It's so frickin easy not to drop...not a big deal at all...If you want to stay awake, drink some of the Red Bull...It should be enough...

But it's rediculous to try and get off the E by drinkin like a fish...

Its like beating heroin by doing crack instead...

On a smaller scale of course...

You lack discipline.
Grow some balls. Learn to control your mind.

well yea more or less. Like on E, u dont give 2 sh*ts and u just wanna move and vibe to the music.. You have crazy energy and just wanna keep it goin. On alcohol, u can't do things like u can on E or whatever drugs u use, but u tend to wear down. Sober- i guess would be acknowledging other things around u except just the music. ugh i dont know. its weird to explain...

Totally know what ur saying, but I have like an INSANE tolerance for alcohol. I'm only 6'1" 160lbs. but I can handle so much sh*T... I brushed a mickey of Tequila straight no chaser in 10 minutes and I was ONLY buzzed, there room wasn't even spinning. Not bragging but its f*cked how I can do that
