Engaging in a solid drinking sesh during the day and then attempting to go out clubbing afterwards is not easy. If you think it is then you are A) a male for whom making the transition from day to evening only requires taking off your hat and maybe your sunglasses and checking that you are in fact wearing a shirt or B) someone who has never done it before and I fear for you and the consequences of your inexperience.
This might be a mega mega ‘first world problem’ but whatever. Yeah okay so it’s a first world problem, we live in the first world and as much as we would all like it not to be, it’s still a problem.
BE PREPARED
Summer means long days drinking by the pool or at the beach which translates to serious dehydration and very wasted. It also means other stuff like wet hair, chlorine hair, not having any clothes except bathers and maybe sunburn. The key to success in this marathon is to bring required equipment; for example, a change of clothes/shoes, the right bra, makeup that matches your skin tone, so that when you don’t drink water and forget to eat during the day you can cheat your way to appearing sober
BE RESOURCEFUL
If you just read the previous paragraph and were like “shit, thats not me. I am ill prepared and still drunk,” or something to that effect, thats o-kay, just be prepared to ask favours from everyone and borrow stuff. Clothes and shoes are a given, hopefully you have friends who are the same size as you, but what about the other things you can’t borrow? Like clean hair. If it’s dirty, put it up! Sunburnt? Skip the blush! Too trashed to do your own make up? Con someone else into doing it for you!
TRY TO CONVINCE YOURSELF YOU ARE NOT AS DRUNK AS YOU REALLY ARE
This is the secret, when you admit you are drunk, you admit defeat. If you come to terms with how wasted you really are, then you are going nowhere my friend, because not only will you be unable to get ready, when (if) you make it out there is a slim chance of you getting let in. Be cool and turn on your sober brain. Go into crisis sober mode - pretend you are talking to your parents the whole time or that you have to go for a job interview and marvel at yourself getting stuff done.
