Angry Brain Battles Alcohol

Brain: (calmly) "Alright, we're off work. Time to make some responsible choices. I'm releasing some dopamine to reward you for a job well done today."

Human: Walks into a bar.

Brain: (annoyed) "Are you fucking kidding me? A bar? Look, let's not overdo it, okay? Maybe one drink and then some water?"

Human: Orders a shot of whiskey and gulps it down.

Brain: (more annoyed) "Jesus Christ, really? That's straight-up whiskey. Fine, whatever. I'm going to have to pump up the GABA to make you feel relaxed. But don't forget, this is also going to slow us down, you dumbass."

Human: Orders another shot and starts talking to someone at the bar.

Brain: (angry) "You're not listening, you cunt! Now I've got to work overtime to keep your neurotransmitters balanced. Glutamate levels are dropping, and your decision-making is going to shit."

Human: Starts feeling tipsy, orders a beer.

Brain: (fuming) "Now you're just fucking with me. That beer is going to make everything worse. I can't believe you're not listening. Fine, feel your motor skills starting to fade? That's on you, pal!"

Human: Stumbles a bit, laughs, and orders another beer.

Brain: (enraged) "What the actual fuck are you doing? Now I've got to release endorphins to help you deal with the pain you're sure as hell going to feel tomorrow. You're sabotaging us!"

Human: Finally decides to call a cab home.

Brain: (still furious) "Oh, now you listen? I guess it's a miracle you didn't drive. Look, I'm doing my best to metabolize this shit, but expect a hell of a hangover tomorrow. Drink some water, you idiot, and go to sleep!"

Human: Gets home, grabs a bottle of water from the fridge but puts it back, opting for another shot instead.

Brain: (livid) "You've got to be fucking kidding me! A shot? At home? Do you have any idea how much work I'm doing to keep us from falling apart? You're killing your liver, dumbass!"

Human: Pours the shot but hesitates, then takes a sip instead of gulping it down.

Brain: (still pissed, but slightly relieved) "Oh, a sip. How fucking generous of you. Listen up, it's high time you drank some water and got some goddamn electrolytes into this deteriorating body of yours."

Human: Finally grabs the water bottle and drinks it, then heads to bed.

Brain: (angry, but less so) "Well, it's about fucking time. Look, I'm already working on producing more ADH (antidiuretic hormone) to help us rehydrate. But remember, this night's shitshow is going to take a toll on us. Sleep, you idiot."

Human: Falls asleep.

Brain: (still fuming but resigned) "Alright, the worst is over, I guess. I'm going to work on metabolizing the alcohol, repairing neurotransmitter imbalances, and prepping us for the hangover from hell. But let this be a lesson: Listen to your goddamn brain!"

Human: Wakes up with a severe hangover, takes aspirin, and drinks water.

Brain: (indignant) "Oh, NOW you want to hydrate and take care of yourself? Little late, don't you think? I hope you remember this misery the next time you decide to go on a bender."

Human: Grabs a cup of coffee, thinking it'll help the hangover.

Brain: (utterly disgusted) "Coffee? Are you trying to dehydrate us even more? Caffeine is a diuretic, you dense fuck. We need water, not a goddamn espresso!"

Human: Grimaces after sipping the coffee, puts it down, and drinks more water.

Brain: (still irritated but somewhat pleased) "Finally, a halfway intelligent decision. You're not totally hopeless, I guess. Keep guzzling that water; it'll help flush out the alcohol and rehydrate our sad, abused cells."

Human: Considers making a greasy breakfast but opts for a banana and some toast instead.

Brain: (grudgingly approving) "Alright, now we're getting somewhere. Good job avoiding that greasy garbage; it would've just given us temporary relief. The banana has potassium, which can help with hydration. It's like you're actually trying to fix the mess you've made."

Human: Takes a shower, feeling slightly better.

Brain: (still fuming, but less so) "Well, isn't this nice? A shower. While it won't undo the shitstorm you caused last night, it might improve circulation and help us feel a bit less like death warmed over. Consider this a small win in a sea of losses."

Human: Finally sits down to reflect on the night before, considering drinking less next time.

Brain: (still annoyed, but hopeful) "You're pondering your life choices? What a fucking revelation! Look, it's simple: Less alcohol, fewer neurotransmitters out of whack, and less work for me to do to clean up your messes. Got it?"

Human: Nods silently, acknowledging the internal wisdom.

Brain: (still irritable but a bit more forgiving) "Alright, you worthless meat sack. Maybe there's hope for you yet. I'll be here, managing your neurotransmitters and trying to keep you from ruining us both. Let's agree to make better decisions moving forward, shall we?"

There, your woeful tale of bad choices and brain chemistry extends a bit further. Now you've got a rough guide on how to fuck up and subsequently unfuck your situation, at least to some extent. Don't say I didn't warn you, though. And for the love of God, listen to your brain next time.
