My 21st birthday | Forum

This is a good story. There’s a little drug use so I believe it qualifies for the drug category. It’s mostly LOTS of drinking though. Anyways, so from when I was 19 until I was 24 I worked for this inventory company doing inventory for Wal-Mart and Sams Club stores. There was about 50 of us on this crew (enough to completely fill 4 Chevy Econoline vans with trailers). Pretty much every single one of us drank and did drugs. We would go all throughout the Western U.S counting stores and partying like rock stars after work. Half of the team was tweekers. On my 21st birthday, we were in Wenatchee Washington and the whole team knew it was my birthday. Unfortunately for me, it was the first night of the trip and so everybody has their full per diem (we got 20 bucks a day per diem). The team as a whole decided to take me to the Grizzly Bar inside the Red Lion we were staying in and each person buy me a drink. I had shots, a “fast corvette”, beers, “brain tumor”, sex on the beaches, long islands….you name it. I rolled a bowl with one of the tweekers so I was able to keep up the whole night. It was at about one in the morning (we had to be up at 5:30) that this one lady Karen (we called her Keeeeern) gave me two lortabs. This PUT ME OUT. I don’t remember how I got to my room, but my roomie wakes me up at 5:30 and all I remember is waking up and being in the van. I was so sick that I had to lay down in the lap of the GUY next to me lol! My head was so heavy and I couldn’t keep it up. We get out of the van and go in the store and by this time I have to puke. So I go Puke in the bathroom and I go to the morning meeting and I’m trying to stand up and the whole team is LAUGHING SO HARD at me. I could barely stand. My job at the time was counting top stock. So in Wal-Marts you have what’s called top stock. It’s basically all the overstock on the tops of the aisles. My job was to carry a ladder from top to top and count the stuff. Well what I did all morning was I would go to one part of top stock, puke all over the product and everything up there, sit on my ladder for a minute, count, dry heave, drink some water, puke… and I did that on pretty much every set of top stock I counted. I puked all over the toy section and lawn and garden. Towards the end of the day I started to feel better, and the benefit of being so young is by that night I was drinking again. No way I could party like that now.
