Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony
One of them had to be taken away in an ambulance. She heard the next day they had to pump his stomach to get all the toxins out. She was too busy holding her friend’s hair back from her face as she puked in the loo to notice the lights flashing and sirens wailing.
Another boy had to have four stitches below his eye. He had gotten into a disagreement with a less drunk boy who had smashed a bottle in his face.
Her friend threw up on her shoes. Gross.
“I will never drink again,” she thought to herself.
sounds like the average friday night around here…
I think I went to that party! Of course it was a long time ago.
I hadn’t thought about booze but now it seems very obvious.
Nicely done.

If I could ever manage to be a glutton it would be for either alcohol or chocolate cake. But instead I tend to savor a bit and then move on, making gluttony a very difficult sin for me to comprehend.
I like the idea of gluttony applied to something other than food, and boy, do I remember early mistakes with alcohol. Good one.
This expresses the story well and in such a short time.
Oh, gosh. The ‘ol loo looks. I remember those days.
I, too, like the way you used something other than food. Great take on gluttony!
Been there, perfectly good pair of boots ruined. Brilliantly done without going for food, which is always the first association with Gluttony for me/
