Day Drinking: A Series of Unfortunate Events

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

One of the greatest joys you’ll experience in college, and for the most part, only in college, is the ability to drink heavily during the day for various reasons, and have it be completely socially acceptable. Whether you call it a “Darty” or a “Dager,” or maybe “Dayging,” you’ll be in the mindset that it’s “five o clock somewhere” (even if it’s 10 AM where you are), and it is bound to be a disaster…

While at lunch on Friday with all of your friends, you’ll realize that there’s either a home (insert spring sport here) game, the senior class is throwing a cool day party with an awesome theme all day Saturday, or maybe it’s Spring Weekend.  No matter the situation, these things all mean one thing: a venue for day drinking!

So of course you start to plan out what to get at the liquor store! You’ll start to say to yourself “I can’t drink vodka all day… Maybe I’ll just get twisted teas… or does anyone want to share a bag of wine? We could make Jungle Juice?!”

You guys then decide that you’ll all take it easy on Friday night in order to be ready for the marathon of drinking the next day…

However, once Saturday morning rolls around, you’ll all wake up thinking that you might be dying. Part of you even wishes you would die in order to make the headache and the thirst you cant seem to quench, disappear.

So you messed up last night… However, there’s no better way to feel better than to start drinking again, right?

You suddenly begin to praise yourself for buying something other than hard liquor, like the vodka that you’re used to relying on, and you take your first sip…

It’s painful at first, but you’ll help each other through. You don’t have any other options; you must be drunk before you leave the room.

After showering, taking a quick trip to breakfast, and putting together the perfect ~I’m not trying too hard, I threw this on, but I look cute enough to be “Dartying” look~, that really took forty minutes to put together after having five outfit changes, and every roommate’s approval, you’re ready to go! 

It’s time to begin drinking heavily, and make your way to the party!

You just can’t stop eating the tailgate food…

Oh and you won’t stop drinking every beer that is offered for to you…

 

While Kan Jam, and basically all other recreational sports are not going too well…

You’ll cheer way too loudly at the game, and those around you have a legitimate fear that you might not make it down the bleachers alive!

Maybe you’ll finally realize at the party that its only 2 O’clock and you are WAY too drunk!

Things will eventually start to die down, and you and your friends can make your way over to the dining hall. The food tastes so much better in this state of mind!

You’ll suddenly feel incredibly judged by all who did not spend their day binge-drinking, and you’ll try to act calm, and pretend to be sober…

 

Luckily after eating some food, you’ll start to sober up and make your way back to your room for the best nap of your life!

But before you know it, your alarm will go off, and it’ll be time to go out again…
