The Degeneral Stikes

Benders
Have you ever noticed that after partying for a long time (at least until the sunrise) that your mind and body begin performing in an entirely different way.
Your body is no long using water to perform simple tasks but instead some kind of solution that is based primarily on liquor (for me its vodka-redbull)
Exhaustion (although you cannot feel it) or rather lack of lack of sleep adds a whole new level of delirium. For me the state of mind after not sleeping for over 24hrs is more uninhibited and degenerate than any level of drunkeness. Over confidence leads to the realization that at 10:30 in the AM nobody would even consider that your completely buckled (although this perception is only valid in your own mind, dude, people can tell your mangled, I mean come on... your in the midst of a bender)
You are now able to do things that you wouldn't have considered if the sun was not up. Driving is now, more than ever, a viable option. No matter how far, cottage missions and cross-country trips are now no longer fleeting, unintentional, insubstantial remarks but are now possible, weighted and potential journeys you may embark on.
After reaching a certain level of intoxication it is acceptable to bring in new life. There is a tendency to do a Darwinian-esque last man standing but tense kind of regulations always lead to an inevitable end of the bender. By not bringing in fresh blood you are limiting yourself to a certain energy and timeline. Getting some fresh blood to join the party the next day can bring in some some much needed enthusiasm, momentum and some good ol' fashioned vim and vigor - not to mention a stash and money, always welcome at this part of your adventure
Weed is a must for any trip. Try to avoid blazing on it early as your stash may be limited. For the most party, drugs will prevent you from feeling the effects of weed. However, when coming down weed is essential as it will:
- make you tired
- ease your stomach
- slows your heart rate (very important as this factor keeps you awake and keeps your body operating at an abnormally active level)

Thats all for now children. Until next time. If your gonna party. party hard.
