Upon regaining consciousness, the intense dizziness still gripped me.
I instinctively clutched my head, wincing as a sharp pain coursed through my temples.
My surroundings slowly came into focus, revealing a dimly lit room where the sole source of illumination trickled in from outside.
It didn't take long for me to piece together the disconcerting puzzle of my situation, and a palpable sense of anxiety washed over me.
I painstakingly tried to piece together the sequence of events, starting from the moment I began to drink the beverage the waiter claimed was from the owner of the bar. As I consumed several glasses, I suddenly felt a wave of dizziness washing over me.
I know I had been cautious, ordering only a few light drinks, a practice I knew was unlikely to leave me feeling this disoriented.
It usually took a substantial intake of hard liquor or mixing different types of alcohol to have such an effect on me.
