Today, I found out why my doctor told me not to mix pain killers with alcohol when I was told that last night I tried to convince a group of teenage tourists that I was one of the nitwits from One Direction, and then got miffed when they laughed at me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized that mixing alcohol with my medication causes me to lose my memory. I went to see my favorite band in concert last night and I can't remember a single song they played. FML
Today, after two months of being teased by my friends for getting wasted and passing out from only one shot, I learned that I wasn't actually too weak to handle the alcohol. My "friends" had secretly laced my drink with sleeping pills. They're now teasing me for believing them. FML
Today, I found out my doctors could've killed me by mixing two meds that react badly and shouldn't be mixed. I've been taking them together for a year. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition. My parents seemed very sympathetic and my mother even cried. When we got home, though, they started laughing and asked if I really believed all the shit the doctor was talking about. FML
Today, it was my friend's 18th birthday. She had invited us out drinking. I've never had alcohol before and was very excited. I got a call explaining that she had invited one too many and asked me not to come. People bragging on Facebook about what a great time they were having didn't help either. FML
Today, I woke up in hospital after a night of heavy drinking. My friends told me I was beat up by the doorman. After going to the club to watch the security footage, it was revealed I actually fell on my face trying to fight, and caused more damage to myself. FML
Today, an actual doctor told me I’ve been “passed around like a bong at a party”, referring to how many doctors have treated my MS condition. Worse yet, I responded with, “Don’t worry, I’m used to it”, without realising how that would sound. FML
Today, I had to explain to my girlfriend that taking triple the maximum dosage of painkillers won't actually triple its effects. She rolled her eyes, called me clueless, and said that I should "leave this stuff to the professionals." She's studying to become a doctor. FML
Today, I went to the hospital for crippling back pain that made it impossible to walk. The doctor was more interested in telling me off for not taking a pill that he admitted doesn't help acute pain. He then gave me an injection that wore off in an hour, and sent me home, telling me to take over the counter meds. FML
Today, my roommates told me about all the stupid and embarrassing things I did last night, none of which I remember. Drunk out of my mind? No, I just tried a new sleeping pill after weeks of insomnia. I still barely slept. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you not listen to that advice?

Why would you think that's a good idea? Listen to your doctor next time, YDI.

Drugs & alcohol will do that to a person

Why were you trying to convince teenagers you were from a pop band in the first place OP?

why the hell not? The FML doesn't say how old OP was or how old the teenagers were. 19 is still a teenager, and OP could be 21

That's just common sense OP.

Not mixing meds with alcohol is just common sense. But then again, common sense is rarely common.

Actually, that's just you being a drunk idiot OP. The real reason your doc said not to mix those is because certain pain killers have a suppressive effect on the respiratory system (the one we use to breath..) alcohol has this same effect on the same system in the body.. Mixing them doesn't just cause drunken stupidity, it can actually cause death.

Why would you disregard your doctor's instructions? Mixing alcohol and painkillers can be fatal. Your doctor didn't tell you not to do it to prevent you from acting like a moron. He did it to prevent you from OD'ing and dying.

you do realize these are doctors and they tell patients what they're supposed to do for a reason and not for ***** and giggles

It's also probably because you're not the brightest bulb.

I love how the connection between 1D member and a complete moron is so obvious that even someone who is drunk out of his mind can make that connection.
