sick vs. drunk

i've been sick for the past few days and it feels like dying would be a better option. but as i experienced the ordeal, i happened to realize certain parallels of physical sensation between being sick and being drunk.

• for one, at a certain temperature (that's relatively high) fingers, toes, and lips grow numb and cold - just like when i'm drunk
• i lose my sense of balance
• difficulty in hearing
• difficulty in tasting
• i become forgetful
• i start to mouth off or i become irritable (i'm not sure if that's supposed to follow though)
• losing consciousness

i don't know. maybe these aren't generalizable qualities, and are just true to me. for sure though, i'd rather be drunk than sick. at least when i'm drunk, i'm light-headed and semi-happy or something like that
