and the lesson his own body is teaching him won't soon be forgotten.
That's the thing.
I mean, I got hammered a couple times in high school. When my friend John ate of the vodka infused watermelon until he was incoherent and puking his guts out, we woke my Dad up at 4am to take care of him.
Compared to his peers, Emmett does so very little partying. Almost everybody he knows smokes pot. He doesn't. I don't think he's even been drunk before.
He watched his friend Jake turn into a serious drug addict (meth) and was around it and it really put him off.
Some shit you learn the hard way and - as noted - nobody left him to wander off or be unattended. Nobody got in a car driving drunk.
You just chalk it up.
He's in bed now. I'm going in to check on him every few minutes to check on his breathing. He's still SO boozy. But there's nothing left in his stomach.
I am so sorry Suela.
You are being a very reasonable parent, Hec. Also, that combo sounds disgusting. I think I was saved from any alcohol related vomiting in my life because I cannot drink things that taste bad to me.

I can't even imagine drinking that! Honestly, I don't think he's going to be drinking again any time soon.
I keep checking on him and his breath is still just so boozy and nast. I'll let him sleep for a couple hours and then try to get some Gatorade in him and rehydrate him and replace some electrolytes.
OK, after two devilling tests, I think I don't care for the avocado in there! I think I'm going to go with mayo, lime, chipotle chile powder and pickled jalapenos. Maybe a little onion and/or cilantro.
Incidentally, there's a dog DNA test on sale right now at Amazon for the next hour and a half.

Ugh, 3 hour nap last night meant wide awakeness from midnight to six. Must call Mom to switch dinner menu tonight from meatloaf to braaains.
My condolences, Consuela, I'm not sure I got that expressed yesterday.

What a surprising result! Good thing you tested. I like the sound of the chipotle lime etc.
I tried making cookies and cream popsicles yesterday, only I didn't have any milk so I used more cream (the name influenced me there, I'm afraid) and that mixture just wouldn't freeze so I had to let the whole thing thaw out to get the failed popsicle out and it's going to take hours to be ready to make more. The point being, I have to drink my coffee out of a mug this morning like any rube off the street. Good thing it isn't terribly hot, yet.
Aw, poor Emmett. I hope rehydration and time take care of this. And not too much time.
