8O I was an irresponsible fool. I drank far too much alcohol...

I'm a bit of an eccentric showman freak, and I just love performing, as it were.

I think I consumed 2 pints of Carling, 2 pints of Worthingtons, 2 bottles of smirnoff at a pub... then I came back home and drank 3 and a half large glasses of wine! I thought I'd drank 2 glasses, but it turns out I probably drank more. :(

I was unaware and didn't remember a damn thing after drinking 2 glasses...

I blacked out at some point and found myself "lying on my back" on a sofa, fortunately my head was on an armrest... I think I must've positioned myself there... I puked up a lot... at least 4 times it seems.

I think I'm lucky to be alive today. What a stupid waste of a life that could've been... 8O

Quite reckless of you. Next time have a buddy along to let you know if you go out of control. My problem has always been mixing pills and alcohol. I've had a couple of close calls.

This same amount of alcohol could have been much more enjoyable if spread out over a week or more. Why did the bartender let you drink 2 bottles of vodka? Were they the small cup sized bottles? It all sounds like a waste of money and alcohol to drink that much in a day. Did you intend to harm yourself? Choking on vomit sounds about as undignified as dying like Elvis, on the toilet.

Is smirnoff vodka? 8O
I know... :( I've learnt my lesson. I'm not usually like that at all. I wish I hadn't done it.

It was very very stupid of me.

No I wasn't intending to harm myself at all... I was an absolute idiot to do what I did.

They were small bottles fortunately.

The smirnoff is only 4.5% volume as I recall.

That would have been a terrible waste indeed, samtoo. I don't remember when but I recognize your name as someone I had at least one very nice exchange with in the past.

Hmm... I can't remember having had a conversation KaliMa... might've been a long time ago.
How are you?

Sam, please don't pull a stunt like that again. I couldn't bear to watch you shake your hairy womanly tookus again as you say "My ass is fabulous... no?". It hurts more people than you, ya know :( .

Really though, you scared me. Be more careful from now on. Prof Pretorius had a really good piece of advice to share. Stay safe, daddio.

I think they are. If your not addicted, but keep doing it that way, you will be. I simpathize with the "God I feel stupid for getting drunk part" just a small bit. Be hidrated if you drink any at all. I learned the hard way drinking while dehidrated once. It took a week for my right side to stop hurting, and it was only one wine cooler!

I got drunk only one time in my life off 1/4th a bottle of vodka (yuck), and don't ever want to again. I was indecently dressed ( :oops: ehm... ), blabbered "I love everybody!" nonsence (if it made sence anyway), and acted like such a sensitive goody goody.... good lord.. :roll: I didn't think it possible prior to that. Mind you, I did this as a teen. Thus breaking the law, but thank God, not getting caught either.

You nearly ended up with a darwin award :D

Quality, not quantity....


Also ... remember that you can always pretend to be drunk (and get away with heaps). It's more fun than actually being drunk.

Anyway - glad you're ok.

It sounds like you had a wonderful time. I recommend doing this at least weakly.
