Here is another question from our Formspring page where you can ask anonymous questions or submit a funny drunk story anonymously. Today’s question involves a common moral dilemma for today’s attractive young woman at a bar. The guy you don’t like but buys you drinks!

Q: What’s the best way to get rid of a guy you have zero interest in at the bar? Especially when he keeps buying you drinks? Do you suck it up, play nice and allow him the occasional grope in exchange for free booze?

A: This is something you have to figure out for yourself, guy by guy. But here are some guidelines to help you decide.

• Free drinks are awesome, no doubt about that. But be careful if you are letting a guy buy you drinks. Especially if you don’t have any interest in him or get bad vibes. If you are letting a guy you’ve just met buy you drinks make sure you go to the bar with him and get the drink yourself so there is no opportunity for him to drug you. And if you get bad vibes steer clear. No need to hang around this guy even for free drinks. It’s best to stay on the safe side.
• Don’t take advantage. I think it is fine to let a guy buy you a drink as long as you take the time to talk to him and don’t disappear as soon as the drink is in your hand. Maybe you will end up liking him. You never know. And if he’s bought you two drinks and you don’t really don’t like him be polite and excuse yourself. Say it was nice talking to you but I have to find my friends, leave or whatever.
• You may decide that you don’t want to waste your time with someone you don’t like when there is the opportunity to find someone you do like who will buy you drinks. There might be someone else at the bar who could get along with this guy. It might be nice to allow someone else the opportunity to hang out with him and get to know him. Even if he is a douche bag.
• If it is someone you know who has always liked you but you do not feel the same way I would say no. Especially if they are drunk. It’s not really fair to lead them on and it will only complicate things.
• Sometimes a girl just needs a couple of drinks and a grope. Go for it! Even if it’s just for fun and you don’t like the guy you don’t have to take him home for the night or the rest of your life. Just be safe!

Umeboshi plums are plums pickled with salt. If you eat one after drinking too much it helps get rid of the hangover effects.

Kukicha Tea is a twig tea that also has centering properties. It does have some caffeine but not as much as coffee. You can drink it with some umeboshi plum paste or slice up a little bit of an umeboshi plum and put it in the tea. Make sure you let it steep for five minutes and drink all of the tea so you get the plum which normally settles at the bottom. I’ve seen it transform people who have had a few too many martinis.

Baking soda can be used in a couple of ways too. You can put a 1/4 of a teaspoon of baking soda in a 1/4 of a cup of water, stir it up and drink it. You can also soak in a tub with baking soda. It helps to draw out the toxins in your body from the excess alcohol.

Peppermint tea throughout the day helps with digestion.

Lavender has many uses in hangover cures. You can drink lavender tea or use lavender essential oils in an aromatherapy diffuser or in a hot bath. It will help you sleep and soothe your muscles. This is especially helpful if your path to destruction involved dancing.

I asked Bethenny Frankel last year what her favorite natural hangover remedies are and she said that Synergy kombucha and Emergen-C were her favorites, “But sometimes you just have to suffer.”

This is true. Sometimes you just have to suffer.

Some gorgeous guys came and rescued us from the creepers who were trying to bump and grind. They were very nice and we had a good time dancing. We got really hot after a while so one of the guys bought us a couple more pitchers of sangria. So we drank and danced until we couldn’t feel our toes. We were all pretty trashed by the end of the night. Somehow through my alcohol fueled fog I managed to type “Hebnry” into my phone along with his number and added a date for the next Friday into my calendar.

I forgot about “Hebnry” until Tuesday when I was making my weekend plans. I saw the date in my calendar and remembered that we had a good time. I texted him and asked him if we were still on and he said yes and to meet him at Schiller’s at 9:30 on Friday.

I was looking forward to my date all day Friday. Then once I got to the bar I realized I had gotten so trashed I couldn’t remember what he looked like. Luckily he remembered what I looked like but he couldn’t remember my name!
