New York City Spring Break - The Drunk Night
When we got back to the hotel, I immediately poured us some mighty stiff drinks. Our plan was to make a couple of drinks in soda bottles then take them down to the pool area for a little drinking and a little swimming. As we were consuming the beverages in the room (our Dad was still at work) Jenny messed around and wore this giant bathrobe. The laughs carried on to the pool as we violated several of the posted pool rules, including people under the influence of alcohol are prohibited from entering the whirlpool.
When Dad showed up he could tell that something was up. We were goofier than usual, and we were yelling and laughing up a storm. We went from sober to wasted in less than 30 minutes. I remember being sober, then all of a sudden it hit me and I was like, "I am so wasted!" It must be because I drank half a bottle of Bacardi in a short time period. Dad laughed at us, but I didn't care because I was a college student on spring break, and it was mandatory for us to get wasted at least once. The pool closed around 10:00, but we definitely weren't ready to go to bed or sit around in the hotel room. What follows from here on out is a crazy adventure that should have gotten us in trouble. I'm very surprised that hotel security didn't try and stop us. They most certainly should have seen us on their security cameras. It's a good thing that they didn't, because Jenny and I had a ridiculously good time that was the perfect bookend to a perfect spring break vacation.
As we started roaming the hallways in search of things to see and do, I got a weird tingling sensation in the back of my brain. It took me a minute to realize what it was until I concluded that it was my Ice Sense tingling. Whenever there is an ice machine around, an indicator goes off at the top of my spine that triggers a mechanism in my brain and alerts me of the presence of an ice dispensing unit. That is just one of the benefits/hardships that I have to live with as the result of being the Iceman. With great power comes great responsibility.
Although I was extremely drunk, I still was thinking about the future. I know that you sometimes get dehydrated after a long night of drinking, so I took it upon myself to consume some much needed H2O. It obviously didn't bother me that it was in a wine glass, left outside in the hallway, and was someone's unfinished room service beverage. When you're drunk, some things just don't matter.
I was upset that whomever ordered this tasty Miller product had the audacity to finish the entire bottle and not leave any out in the hallway for drunk kids to have a little sip. The absence of alcohol when you are drunk is one of the saddest thing imaginable. Truth be told, I didn't need to drink any more, but that still didn't change the fact that I wanted to continue drinking. Everything happens for a reason.
