I've been right where you are.. its always tough.. at the time it doesn't seem so bad but then when reality sets in its like whoa did i seriously just do that?..
just keep your head up and do try not to drink until you are completely stable and still then don't go all out a get wasted.. your right bp and drinking not really ever a good combo
Keep your head up we all have to make mistakes to gain understanding. or at least thats what I believe.
