痊愈 recover

Last week, I had a fever and a running nose, but now I have recovered.

There was a girl who drank a lot of yellow wine. She started behaving like a child. She went to the toilet, threw up and started sleeping there. She was in charge of our company project.

Every time she drank, she emptied her glass. She scared me. She tried to have me drink but I told her I was allergic to alcohol and that drinking would give me a rash 疱疹。

There was also a coworker who drank a little too much; she began to cry and to be very talkative. She spoke her heart out to everybody.
