The first time I drank overkill was a last fall when I was 19. I went to this party in Chicago on the north side - going where I had never gone before, and with each step things got shadier and shadier. It was a toga party, so I took the sheet off of my dorm bed and wrapped it around. Eventually I ditched the toga. not having drank before really, I didn't know my limits. So in the space of two hours, I consumed 5 beers, and 5 "Jungle Juice" cocktails (vodka & everclear with Kool-Aid). I remember going up to the person operating the Ipod stereo - PUT SOME STONES ON, MAN!(severly drunk).
When I was time for me to go (I was sober enough to know that I had commitments the next day), I managed to stumble to the El station, get on a train, and go back home.
What wasn't so great was that the train swayed from left to right, back to forth. I got a strange look in my eyes, and then got that one feeling every drunk hates: I'M GOING TO THROW UP. I did my best not to, but at 2 in the morning on a saturday, on an El train....I threw up. Then the train stopped, I got off, and threw up some more into a garbage can. I was beyond ashamed.
I was lucky enough to make it alive back to my dorm, and the next morning, still hungover, I remember listening to Sweet Virginia, and just crying incessantly for no reason.
It was a weird night, that's all I can say
