funnily enough when i do buy it i have to drink and extreamly alot to even feel tipsy. My mum was shocked at the amount i went through which would have put her in the gutter. lol

I did not touch a sip of alcohol befor my injury, when i did it was very rare like every half a year and it was just casual enjoyment drink. Not to get drunk..

Well 13 is considerably a better age.. i think any way as it only the begginging of the proper education. It so happens i was 19 and the night i had graduated. So now it means sweet F all. So thats why I am doing my best to get as much info and medical things diagnosed quickly so i can get the best amount of compensation. Alot say i should not sue but do not realise what has happened

True haha no one belives such events happen. But if its brought up ill give every detail as i always feel the need to let a new person know and understand beggining to end, and quick mood changes and personality. I was lucky and my letchers let me redo the year i was in they saw a huge change i tryed to prove i was the same person but it was only me that didnt see it untill a good few months later i got up and left. packed my bags at home and left.. And im quite glad i did

I benefit in some ways.. Im far too aware and can use my brain too know when people try take advantage etc, the most positive but scariest thing i got from the injury is a psychic link. some people laugh it off but my family know somethings happened as ive known things.. Either way i dont really care what people think since my injury either

not so much feel drunk, but drinking alcohol can be weird.

sometimes i can have a pint and all is well, but other times i can drink less than half a pint and the pain in my head is extreme.

i don't drink much, maybe the odd pint each month, the thought of a hangover is unbearable i can cope with pain, but feeling ill i just cant cope with

Andrew i woke up feeling pickled when i had something wrong with the balnce. It was room spinning and floor rushing to me and slurry words. I felt so sick with it, it was horrid but it was only because of a virus in the balance bit that caused it and it went after two weeks, i have had it a couple of times since. My balance was all to cock when i had my accident and it took some time to get me back the way i should be. If i close my eyes and look up i fall over, so i dont do that!!!

Andrew, don't know if I'd describe it as drunk but maybe high, (a shitty type of high) fuzzy, heavy head, my eyes flicker, my thoughts are airy, lasts for about 30/45 mins nearly every morning. It started after I started my medication, doubt it will help but hey might do, Charlie x
