Fuzzy memory
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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after saving up my money for weeks, I went to see my favorite artist in concert with my friends. Two songs in, I passed out, hit my head, and had to have someone drive me home. FML
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
Today, I went to a concert for the first time in 5 years. I got all dressed up and even ended up hanging out with the band. The night came to a screeching halt when I got a migraine and ended up in the ER vomiting non-stop. I was in the hospital all night. FML
Today, my bandmates showed up to our gig drunk. Our drummer kept losing the rhythm and the lead guitarist was more concerned about staying drunk than playing the right notes. In the middle of a song, they both gave up, put down their instruments, and kept sipping a beer, while at least cheering me on while I finished it. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor about some of the memory problems I've been having. After the appointment, I could barely remember a thing he told me. 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
Today, I was at a friend's birthday party in a packed karaoke bar/restaurant and I drunkenly agreed to sing. I picked a song I thought I knew by heart, only to realize halfway through that the lyrics on the screen were not at all what I thought they were. My brain went for a smoke break or something, and I turned into a rambling mess. The crowd actually booed. FML
Today, my band was playing its first serious gig. I was in the middle of a solo when a drunk guy tackled me, causing me to crash into the drums, breaking them and my guitar, hitting our drummer, knocking him out. FML
Today, my brain seemingly went on vacation and I forgot the lyrics to a song I was performing in front of a live audience, so I ended up ad-libbing a bunch of garbage. FML
Today, the water was shut off, so I had to wash down my anti convulsants, anti depressants and sleep aids with an old, flat, non-alcoholic beer from the night before. I don't think I've ever had a more mentally dysfunctional cocktail. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well it's pretty obvious alcohol and medication don't mix! It probably said it on the information on the medications package. You fully deserve it

Agreed. Medication isn't a joke, you should be careful about it.

People die from doing that, be thankful you only lost your memory.

To be fair it also says op is in china. Dunno what kind of point I'm trying to make here, but then again, I'm a bit stupid and have been known to confuse sulphuric acid with astroglide, so yeah, ignore my verbal diarrhoea.

I wonder if I should make a possibly deadly concoction of alcohol and meds. I know you weren't thinking that, if thinking at all.

Talk the guy who can't remember what his doctor said. Maybe together you can remember.

Talk to the guy*

#27 well I'm assuming that you're assuming OP must be poorly and uneducated because he lives in China, so therefore not know about the risks of mixing drugs (medication and alcohol). But to be fair if he can afford to go to a concert he's probably not either one.
muzy 23
I could actually tell all of you the pharmacological reason behind not mixing drugs with alcohol but i won't because, i'll sound like a right prick

tell us!
dansco 25
Agreed! If you take medication and want to drink, just drink... You can have the meds later on...

It sounds like you had a great night to me

It wasn't actually the alcohol and medication that made you forget, it was the roofies

How would you know? Better yet, how would OP know? Maybe he got anally violated with a cactus. Maybe he ran someone over with his car. I'll never understand why so many idiots say stupid shit like this about alcohol. I know OP's medicine contributed to it, but getting drunk to the point of blacking out isn't fun, smart, responsible, or anything else good.
bmwguy01 8
he roofied himself, he should wonder what he did last night maybe a mini HANGOVER!
MikeDa1Da 14
DocBastard- your opinion isn't necessarily everybody else's opinion. The keywords of my comment are "to me." To each his own, right?
DocBastard 40
Yes Mike, you are welcome to your moronic opinion that getting obliterated is loads of fun, just as I am welcome to mine that your opinion is moronic. See how that works?
MikeDa1Da 14
Redundant doctor is redundant. And why the ostentatious stance on alcohol consumption?
Troll_spray 6
Heh, atleast he remembers he went to go see his favorite band.
DocBastard 40
Mike, I don't think ostentatious means what you think it means. My opinion on alcohol is strict because I see first hand the effects of alcohol abuse, cirrhosis and drunk driving being the worst. If you were to see just ONE person killed by a drunk driver (I've seen dozens), you'd change your opinion quickly. Any other stupid questions?
MikeDa1Da 14
First of all, don't call me Mike. That's not even my real name. Secondly, alcohol abuse is a bad thing, but it's a necessary evil, kind of like prostitutes. And there's nothing wrong with having a little fun every once in a while, just don't overdo it. And yes, I will admit that my definition of ostentatious is used loosely, nevertheless, it still works.
DocBastard 40
Oh I apologise, Mike. I just naturally assumed that since your username here is "Mikesomething" that abbreviating it by calling you "Mike" would be ok, just like people call me Doc even though that isn't my real name. And you never hear me bitching about it because that would just be stupid, now wouldn't it? My sincerest apologies, Mike. Second, you weren't talking about having a little fun and not overdoing it. You were talking very specifically about getting blitzed out of your mind and blacking out. Last I checked, that's the very definition of "overdoing it". And lastly, alcohol is a necessary evil? What the **** are you smoking? It isn't a necessary anything, and trying to describe it as such is foolish at best and utter idiocy at worst. Nice talking to you, Mike. I'm sure we'll cross paths again.
MikeDa1Da 14
Lol. Who got the last laugh now, Doc?

145, It is a necessary evil, simply because without things we can enjoy life is very dull. But like anything, moderation is key. Besides, it does have health benefits if used wisely. And Mike, prostitutes aren't a necessary evil, since that would imply they are in some way a bad thing. Anyone who thinks getting drunk is "cool" suffers from some real identity issues and low feelings of self worth. If you need alcohol to make you into someone worth being around you should probably start working on some self improvement. You're a boring idiot. Besides, the only people who like drunks are other drunk people.

Downtime, learn to make life less dull yourself, you don't need alcohol to help you achieve that.

Thanks for the advice, I'll remember it when someone asks me "what's the most useless crap you've ever been told".

You mean mixing alcohol and medication is a bad thing? Whoops...

Lol;)

Accidentally adding a letter isn't indicative of bad spelling. He probably just had a typo which he then corrected.
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Alcohol***???
MaceFaceLOL 8
Yea the spellcheck on my phone is ridiculous.
ilove80smetal 8
I don't know how you can drink without alcohol. Lol
MaceFaceLOL 8
Um what
murdersquirrel 15
Spellcheck corrects misspelled words like alchohol, and doesn't add letters to words. You can't always blame autocorrect.
shellzy 20
Um, yes you can. The iPhone 4S autocorrect is particularly obnoxious because it tries to be intelligent by changing words that are spelled correctly to other words that it thinks it's supposed to be that are spelled correctly. I don't know if this guy has a 4S but I have that problem all the time.
MaceFaceLOL 8
Spellcheck will do anything it changes game to play so don't tell me what it does do.
MaceFaceLOL 8
I have the 4 which does the same thing.
downtime 13
112, Alchohol isn't a word. Clearly spell check/auto-correct aren't enabled on his phone. It was an excuse.
MaceFaceLOL 8
You clearly have never had an iPhone...if you constantly type on the word "thw" over and over again your phone will think it's a word and when you type In any word that isn't a word like "thq" it will change to "thw"
downtime 13
...So you frequently make the same mistake and your phone has learnt from it. Therefore it isn't a simple typo but rather something much worse. Good work.
MaceFaceLOL 8
I used to not know how to spell alcohol so I would type it as "alchohol" and my phone changes it to that when I type alcohol. So unless you know how my phone works shut the **** up.
downtime 13
And there it is. You couldn't spell it. Thanks for confirming.

Well that's because mixing any medication with alcohol will screw you
pinkcrayola 0
Not ANY medication, but most of the time its a bad thing.
unluckiestperson_fml 14
When I mixed drink with my meds it basically made me absorb it quicker and therefore got drunk on like 4 beers. That sure was fun.

6th closest to 1st ive ever been!

I thought everyone understood mixing medication and alcohol is a bad idea. Clearly, I am mistaken. At least, hopefully, you, OP, have learned your lesson.

Quit abusing the comma. My English professor would have your head if she saw this post.
takenover 15
Yeah, I have issues with abusing the comma. I am not sure why I over use it. *shrugs*
TourettesGuyFTW 26
48- depends which head. Although, a comma fetish?!
takenover 15
No comma fetish. Just bad at using it appropriately sometimes. Or rather I think I need the comma in a place that I really don't. In other words, comma stupid. That's sad.

Can't blame you for being disappointed when you're on medication it can be hard to remember you can't do everything you normally could but at least now you know I guess

Right? Imagine being pregnant or terminally ill! I would get really forgetful about those things! Yikes! (sarcasm)
