Before Drinking Alcohol:
Youāre chilling with your guys, vibes are high, and the bottle arrives. Your brain whispers, āJust small, na... nothing go happen.ā You listen, pour that first shot, and think youāre in control. š Odimma šššš.
While Drinking Alcohol:
You down that first drink, and your body startsĀ feelingĀ the ginger alsoĀ asĀ theĀ speakersĀ areĀ blastingĀ yourĀ favouriteĀ songsĀ backĀ toĀ backĀ , the gbedu just dey enter body, before you know it you are past the eight bottles and shots.
By this time you are shouting: āwe are outside!!!ā at this moment, otilo!!, you are far gone at the point of no return.
After Drinking Alcohol
Brain: "Ahh, finally! Time to party!" Your brain is like DJ with faulty speakersāeverything is slow, youāre feeling bold, chatting rubbish, and dancing anyhow. But you still feel like everything is going fastĀ fast. At this point you are walking on zigzag lines but you are constantly saying: I am fine š¤£š¤£š¤£.
Liver: "Chai! See work!"
Your liver is the overworked house help, struggling to clean up the alcohol. Itās removing the toxins bit by bit, but it canāt keep up, so the alcohol spreads. Work wan kill the poor guy.
Stomach: āWho send you?ā Your stomach is already regretting the pepper soup combo with alcohol and getting ready to rebel. It will soon disgrace you. At some point you go need rush to the bathroom for some vomit š¤¢ š¤¢. But you will come back still maintaining your lost steeze. No worry š¤£š¤£š¤£
During a Hangover:
Head: Your brain wakes up first, shouting: "Who played me rough like this?!". You feel like a keke just drove over your head. Headache on another level. At this point you feel like they are pounding cocoyam in your head.
- Stomach: āAbeg, I no do again!ā Your stomach is now full-on protesting, rejecting everything. Even water feels likeĀ bile. You go dey wonder wetin dey happen. A good question to ask your stomach is: why are you running Ć2
Liver: Still on duty, itās like, āGuys, Iām trying my best here!ā Itās struggling to clear out the leftover alcohol like itās Lagos traffic.
Kidneys: āOya, remove water!ā Theyāre working overtime, which is why you keep running to the toilet.
Body: Everything is tired and dehydratedĀ andĀ dry, like Emekaās lips during harmattan. You need water, sleep, and serious repentance.
