“I REMEMBER I WOKE UP WITH THE COPS IN MY HOUSE, ASKING ME IF I KNEW THIS GIRL. I SAID OF COURSE, SHE WAS THE GIRL WITH THE PINK HIGH HEELS. THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY. AFTER THAT, I DIDN’T DRINK FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS.”
-I once woke up with a half eaten burrito in my mouth, after that I didn’t drink for two weeks.
