1. During a "happy hour" session
Expectation: You and your friends go for a couple of drinks and catch up on the latest gossip. Fun is had by all and you save a ton on half-off drinks!
Reality: You start off with one vodka cranberry and the next thing you know you’re five drinks deep and you’re crying. You manage to stumble into a cab and get home but the next day even the sound of the copy machine turning on gives you waves of nausea.
2. Flirting
Expectation: You down a pint of beer and you've got that new found confidence just like James Bond to get any girl you want. You're witty, charming, and definitely can hold your own.
Reality: Your speech is slurred and you spill your drinks all over her. Good thing you haven’t made a total fool out of yourself... Oh wait.
3. Buying people drinks
Expectation: You feel generous! Everyone deserves to have a good time! You do the kindest thing ever - buy everyone drinks!
Reality: You're getting more broke by the minute for the 25 free drinks you've sponsored but you don't even know it yet until you receive an SMS one day later about your maxed out credit card...
5. Dancing like Mick Jagger
Expectation: You've got the smooth moves like Mick Jagger.
Reality: You've got no moves.
6.Spending time with friends
Expectation: You're out with your closest friends for a round of drinks. You'll definitely enjoy a good conversation with them, reminiscing about all the moments only you and your squad know. #squadgoals
Reality: There's definitely somebody who can't hold their drink and your night is spent taking care of them while they puke in the toilet.
7. Doing the "Hotline Bling"
Expectation: The Hotline Bling? Pffft, so easy!
Reality: Your friends wish you didn't have hands.
8. I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!
Expectation: You've made it. You've arrived. You've conquered the year.
Reality: It was just a fantasy.
9. Waking up the next day
Expectations: You had a fun night, you got home safe and you're up bright and early to cook some delicious breakfast. Let's do this again!
Reality: Your throat's dry, you need water, BUT IT'S TOO FAR AWAY. And why is the neighbour playing the piano at 7am? GROAN!!!
