Saving grace

Saving grace

You head is spinning and you got home after downing 12 vodka shots at the bar because your mate told you to keep going. Your sitting at the sink at home and try to do the saving grace by drinking as much water as your can to save yourself from one terrible morning after you should have been drinking water through the night

The success rate of the saving grace is 0.01% and you will most likely be throwing up your dinner when you wake up in the morning
