Vodka

I take a couple of shots of vodka every morning when I wake up. It really gets me going. That's how I get out of bed. "Aw, I don' wanna get outa beeeed!" so I say to myself "look, Alf, you get up and I'll feed you some vodka." So before I know it I'm up.

The problem is this. I figured out that I can just keep the bottle next to my bed so I don't have to get out of bed to get it anymore. So now it's really really hard to get out of bed.

Any suggestions?

I need a like an alarm clock that, after five or so minutes, drops an assortment of bowling balls down on top of the bed. That would sure as shit get me out of bed. LOL.

Seriously.

    Drink lots of water so you have to get up to take a piss.... That will get you out of bed..... Unless of course you like yellow bed sheets...

    But dude, I think you need more help than what this forum could provide you with. Good luck!!!!

    My bed sheets are already yellow anyway but they came like that. But anyway I can hold piss in like a camel. And water doesn't set right with me anyway, makes my tummy feel weird.

    :eek: maybe it's cause of all the Vodka you must have consumed?

    no offense, but how can water not agree with someone?

    maybe it's actually that water is quite alright for your tummy but it feels strange to you cause it doesn't have the same impact as Vodka? ;)

    I'm too hung up on the Vodka aspect here I reckon..


    what I do to wake up (I hate early mornings) is that I have the most annoying sound on my alarm (I use my phone for that) and it gets louder too. also, I usually "hide" it somewhere so that I have to get up to turn it off. then I immediately switch on a light so I feel too irritated to go to sleep anymore. :D

    hey now I don't make the rules, I just play the game.

    the only alarms my clock has is the william tell overture and danny boy and that song from Rocky and I particularly enjoy all three so no dice.

    what kind of space-age alarms do people sell around there?! :eek: jaysis!

    what buttons? what happened to the device being a clock, then you choose what time you wanna wake up and that's it? buttons? I've got two alarm clocks (don't use either though) and they've got two switchey thingies (one for setting the time, one for setting the time when you wanna wake up) and one button (press it at night so the alarm will sound in the morning, press it in the morning so make the thing shut up). quite clearly marked and all. :D

  • Am I the only person who thinks that 'a couple of shots of vodka' to start the day, the OP's stomach not being used to water and a bottle of vodka by their bed, isn't necessarily a good thing?! :confused:

    It's okay dude I got my life basically where I want it. I've got a few stories that I think are pretty close to getting published. The thing is I just need a nudge out of the bed and the vodka doesn't do it anymore and my alarm clock is just so damn groovy. Ill just get a new alarm clock.

    So get a new alarm clock and bin the vodka. If it's not working, you don't need the temptation or the hassle so close to something good like having stories published. :)

    For the record, I'm a dudette ;)

    Maybe you should drink a lot of glasses of water before you go to sleep so the need to pee will get you up? You can be like the native american warriors.

    I think 2 shots of vodka first thing in the morning is cause for concern.

    Take care..... and have coffee!!!!!!

    Maybe you should start mixing Red Bull with your vodka. That'll get you moving!



    Shots to get out of bed...:eek: that's crazy to me, but whatever makes you happy I guess.

    Hey, you've got to drink vodka. It goes bad once the bottle is opened.

    Back to the water thing real quick.

    You said you don't like water, but what water are you drinking? You don't even like bottled water?
    I know some people who don't "like" water because they've grown up drinking shitty tap water. I looooove water, but if all I had was tap, I'd probably not drink very much of it either.

    Oh man, I drink like a gallon of water every day.

    Well if your vodka is next to the bed, maybe you should sleep next to the freezer?

    Because every post I've read from him is insane.

  • See, if the vodka is there right beside your bed, surely the question we should be asking is this: Why get out of bed at all?
