Even if memory lingers on the morning after, your friend will be thanking you. It's not hard to set the alarm clock and get your acquaintances up in time to attend all planned engagements. Waking up to the sound of that alarm clock is better than waking up to a phone call asking you to identify the body of a friend. The Chanticleer October 4, 2001.
