recently i have "discovered" that i am allergic to rum. so far its only spiced or dark rum, but i've seen an allergist and all signs point to yes. i am indeed allergic to rum. so yesterday i tried a controlled experiment involving kahlua. it wasn't going to be an experiment, but once i realized i was going to be having a problem, i had to stop. it would have been super easy to just keep drinking and have a grand ol' time with my friends, but i decided "you know, this is apart of growing up and being responsible" and i had to do just that.
what happens when i have this allergic reaction is that when I'm actually drinking the alcoholic beverage, my asthma starts to act up. my breathing becomes heavy and i have to use my inhaler. once i use my inhaler, everything is fine....for now.
the next morning...all hell breaks loose. i throw up all morning ( if i've been drinking more than a little) and i just feel like absolute shit all day. now i know what you all must be thinking...veronica, isn't this just a hangover....? grow up! well no. it is not. i've been hung over before and this is not it.
i also know this to be true because of last night. i had a few shots of the kahlua and i realized i was going to have a problem if i kept drinking.
being responsible sucks.
