Today, I was going to my prom. My mom knows I want to drink so to prevent me, she made sure I took my prescription medicine before I left. I guess her way of stopping me from drinking is killing myself If I do. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML
Boozehound
Today, my once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML
Today, my mom took away my medication. She's afraid I'll get "hooked". The medication is anti-anxiety pills. I have horrible anxiety attacks that sometimes cause me to scratch my arms until they bleed. FML
Today, my mom told me I'm the reason she's going to kill herself one day. FML
Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML
Today, I found my mom throwing my very expensive and important medication down the toilet. She thought I was doing drugs. FML
Tis the season
Today, my mom forbade me from taking any allergy medicine, because she is afraid that I'll turn into a meth addict. I have horrible allergies and can barely see or stop sneezing without them. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and tried to push me off a ladder. FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her and she asked if I was going to kill myself. FML
Intervention
Today, after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, I woke up from a much needed nap realizing I should take my pain medication. My mother then told me she had thrown them out so I wouldn't get addicted and become a drug dealer. FML

If it's anti-depressants, it won't kill you. Just get you more drunk 8 times faster. That's all.

Just because it's prom doesn't mean you have to drink. You can have a good time without drinking.

some people just enjoy drinking. when done in moderation I don't see anything wrong with that.

don't worry OP, ur meds will get u extra ****** up and it'll be twice as fun.

^ win Just drink and tell your mom it was the meds that made you feel that way. Blame it on the meds not the liquor. Think about it.

unless they're on those antibiotics that make you puke if you drink

I want some of those. it would be hilarious to drop those in my friends drinks. XD
HamsteronA 0
You guys don't really understand the medicine. It reacts with alcohol, making a heavy poison and killing you. A glass of beer can throw you unconscious and put you in hospital. Not fun.
whatfml 0
@80 what medicine are you talking about exactly? There is more than just one, and majority can be consumed with alcohol.
DocBastard 40
Just so you people know, drinking while taking medication will not mean instant death. The major interaction is alcohol and other depressants having an additive effect. Other medications will make you very nauseated if you drink, including metronidazole and Antabuse.
NeatNit 33
It's mentioned in the OP that it'll kill him if he drinks. OP should have standed up to his mom and not take the medicine.

Agreed 106
chell1894 13
You could have still drank a little. Most medicines with a little alcohol will not make an instant kill. I've never heard of any with that effect. It might just upset your stomach little. And OP could have just stuck it under her tongue and then spit it out when her mom wasn't looking. Easily avoided

30, **** that cotton mouth, though. I think the main goal is to get some on prom & that shit can be a hassle.
shannonreneee 11
My medicine can land me in hospital, and has before. However, that was in the early days before I figured out how much I could drink with my meds. Uh, also, the point of balls and proms are to get messy with your friends. Right of passage for young people. Sure you can have fun being sober but you will have more fun being maggot
stormer461 13
I wonder if you guys realize that if OP's going to prom, it's probably illegal to drink.
gimmickgame 7
except that she's you know UNDERAGE
guckylynn 19
Interesting 133, I thought the point of prom was to create memories with your friends that you'll cherish beyond high school. Not go out and get illegally wasted and risk alcohol poisoning. Drinking underage doesn't make you cool and it's dangerous.

80: I was thinking that it's a medication that, when mixed with alcohol, it can cause suicidal thoughts.

idk about u guys but I don't have fun sober although I've never gotten drunk I go to social things high so I can actually enjoy it

149 drinking underage is no more dangerous then drinking overage
stitch_book 4
@166: no, i'm ... i'm pretty sure it is. let me check with my common sense for a moment ... ... ... yeah, it definitely is.
DocBastard 40
80 - there is no medication in existence that, when mixed with one beer, will render you unconscious. It doesn't exist. Antabuse will make you very nauseated if you drink while taking it, but it won't kill you.

He's in high school. Get a grip.
shannonreneee 11
You obviously haven't been to Australian balls or ball afters. Besides, in Australia, the people going to balls are either a year from being of age or of age. So drinking is pretty common. It's not about getting so drunk you're vomiting, just about being silly.

how is drinking at age 18 dangerous? common sense not so common?

CoriCat 25
Even when you're underage? I don't think so. It's fine when you're older and responsible enough.
CoriCat 25
Exactly. People underage a aren't responsible enough to handle drinking. I know I'm not.

There are prescriptions medicines that you can't mix with alcohol. So to prevent her daughter from drinking she made her take the prescription medicine.

Your mom knows what happens during prom nights. Her way of preventing you from drinking isn't the best though.

Your mom is a boss. Also, don't drive or operate machinery until you know how you react to that drug...DUH, loser.

do it anyway tatl show her:-)
jess6blondie9 3
Oh yeah. "Let's go and drink alcohol which isn't supposed to be mixed with my medication. It will probably kill me, but at least it will teach my stupid mom a lesson to not be so bossy about me drinking underage just because she cares and wants the best for me." Idiot.

She def does need to chill! FHL.

well you know it says that but I'm still alive. it increases the effect of the medicine so if it's for a minor illness or something like that it wouldn't kill you to drink one or two. just don't overdo it.

is your prom date that bad that you don't think you can manage to go a whole night without drinking? seriously boo ******* hoo, you're underage anyway.
dudeitsdanny 10
Exactly my thoughts. You can't have a good prom without drinking? Don't go. You're barely, if even, 18 years old. I don't know if you know this, but the legal age in NY is the same as in the rest of the US: 21. i don't care how many of you drink before 21, nor about alcohol not being bad; the fact is that a high school senior is too young to legally drink. You don't wanna die from mixing your meds with alcohol? Don't ******* drink. Your mom's not trying to kill you, she's keeping you from being an idiot in a foolproof way. Now, if you're stupid enough to drink, knowing the dangers of mixing alcohol and your medication.. Congrats on your future Darwin Award-- It'll be well deserved.

Where im from the legal age is 18 and if people want to drink at their proms i think its perfectly acceptable as bad as it sounds they will probably enjoy themselves more
paintedchocolate 30
@33 Personnally, I think that this whole over-age/under-age debate is way overrated. In most of the US it's illegal to drink till your 21. In most of Europe you have to be 18 at the least. Up until last year a 16-year-old could legally purchase hard liquor in my homecountry. It's not so much about the age, as it is about responsibility. Every nation has its idiots and they're not confined to a certain age group. Just as there are 14-year-olds who drink themselves into a coma, there also are 16-year-olds who drink with more responsibility than a few 30-year-olds. Really, you can change the law any way you want, in the end it depends on the person.

Well it worked. Don't be so damn stupid and underage drink
