Daily Life - I Don't Feel So Good(0115)

A:

Are you okay, man? You don't look very well.

B:

Ugh, I feel terrible. I went out last night with Trevor and things got a little out of hand.

A:

Nice! So, where did you guys go?

B:

We hit a couple of local bars, and met up with some friends. Everything was cool until Mike came along, and it turned out that it was his birthday yesterday!

A:

Oh no! Mike's birthday is a drinkfest for sure!

B:

Tell me about it! We drank everything in the bar!

A:

Is that why you missed work today?

B:

Yeah. I woke up this morning feeling really nauseous. I threw up like five times.

A:

Eww!

B:

I was so dehydrated that I drank like a gallon of water, and my head has been pounding all day. I swear, I'm never gonna drink again!

A:

Too bad man, tonight is Tracy's going away party and she asked if you were gonna go.

B:

Oh, yeah. I'm there!
