OK, this is going to be a somewhat long post...
Back in late 2007/early 2008 I hadn't even been living in the Phoenix area a full year, but the touring band I quit to move 2,000 miles away from was playing in town. I had formed or was in the process of forming a new band and the rhythm guitarist (Cody) was a huge fan of the touring band I used to be in.
Well, the former band asked me to get up and sing one of the songs, so I happily obliged. After all, these guys are family. During the song I was singing Cody bum rushed the mic so he could sing it as well. In the process of him rushing the mic he slammed it into my teeth cracking one of my incisors on the top row. I didn't have dental insurance at the time, nor did I have it until about 4 years later. Also, the tooth didn't hurt, so I just rocked the chipped look since eventually the cracked part of the tooth fell out.
Fast forward to earlier this year and I decided to get my teeth worked on since it had been a good 6 years since anyone even looked at them. I had insurance this time, so things were easier to pay for. After I got all of my fillings done and two crowns put on it came time to address the chip. Before I get the chip filled in I decided to whiten my teeth since the filling on the chipped tooth isn't able to be whitened after the fact.
Yesterday was the appointment to whiten my teeth. When I was in the dentists chair and the whitening was actually happening it wasn't a big deal. Shortly after though my teeth began to annoy me. They had begun to hurt, but nothing major. It was a numbing constant pain. Well, the Dental Assistant had told me for the next 48 hours anything I ate/drank would affect the color of my teeth since apparently my teeth were dehydrated after the whitening process and they would absorb the color. Therefore no beer, coffee, wine (even though I don't like it) or dark foods/drinks whatsoever.
Since the pain was beginning to get to me being that it was constant I decided to have a few drinks to "numb" the numbing pain. I looked in the freezer and from a party I had Saturday someone had left behind some Sky Vodka. Score... I looked in the fridge and there was no Sprite or clear/white "chaser" other than milk.
I think you can piece together that I shot vodka and chased it with milk. It was interesting. If only I had some coconut milk so I could mix the vodka and coconut milk...
