You can feel your heartrate climbing, your head buzzing, your blood pressure soaring. It seems that maybe you've bitten off more than you can chew, so maybe you could wash it down with a drink or several?

There's also still the point that, with the way you feel now, you may need something a little harder to mellow you out. You know that Kyle keeps a moderately huge stash of pills around to deal with the pain in his hand. You haven't had a chance to ask, but surely your best friend wouldn't mind you grabbing a Perc or two, right?

a) I'll drink until the worrying stops.

b) I'm gonna toke my cares away.

c) I shall numb myself with Percocet.
