Or any issues stumbling/headache/passing out acting like some wacko partier etc? IMO I do drink on rare occasions 1 maybe 2 drinks at a restraunt but I think it's stupid to drink to the point of a massive hangover or passing out IMO that's just STUPID!

Once at a Christmas work party.

Afterwards, someone from HR discretely found me and requested that I never do that again. So I didn't.

Nope. The voices I hear sound different though.

Passing out? No. But I have drank until I blacked out. Pull up a chair and I'll tell you a cautionary tale about a demon named 4Loko. When it was introduced, 4Loko had 4 key ingredients: Caffeine, Taurine, Guarana, and alcohol 12%. The first 3 helped to dull the effects of the fourth. So I hear about this stuff in the news and how horrible it is so naturally I go to the store and buy some. They had 4 flavors of 24oz cans so I pick 2 at random and go home.(I NEVER drive after I start drinking. Remember kids, don't drink and drive!) After the 2 are done, I've decided once you get past the fact it tasted like kool-aid flavored gasoline it's actually pretty good. So I walk to the corner store and get the other 2 flavors I hadn't tried yet. Then I go home. I wake up the next day with a rather bad headache but not as bad as I'd thought I would have given the amount I'd drank. Then I stumble across my living room and a t-shirt is covered in used chipotle. And so is my kitchen sink. Sometime that night, I'd rather violently alchopuked everything I had in me and I didn't remember doing so(and still don't.) Now, I've sent facebook updates and not remembered, and I've texted people and not remembered, but puking when you're drunk is usually something that sticks with you the next day. After that I decided that it's better if I avoid 4Loko, and the FDA forced them to change their formula about 3 months later so I suppose it worked out. But, yeah. If you drink the equivalent of a fifth of vodka in one night, odds are you will really not appreciate life the next day. I've since drastically toned down my consumption. Partially because when you black out, it's probably a good idea to slow down.

Yepp. I wish more people agreed that its stupid. This didn't happen at my university, but some drunk pulled the fire alarm in the middle of the night at another university. I would be so pissed to have to wake up and evacuate the building.

A few times. One particular instance was so unpleasant I now refuse to touch long island ice teas.

That's how I spent most of the Nineties, actually. Wallowing in slobbering self-pity because I had no idea what was "wrong" with me, why I felt so different and disconnected from everyone else. I do not recommend it as a lifestyle choice.

I convinced my friend to puff powder into a smoke detector at a hospital when I was 15. number one, I had no idea that would actually work...and two, had no idea of the coniquences of having to evuate a hospital. I felt really bad about it afterwards. I had a really bad combination of poor impulse control and poor conciquental (sp) thinking. I did this totally sober. All of the stupid sh*t I have done in my life I have done totally sober. People have asked me the whole time I was a teen what drugs am I taking...none. I would hate to have seen what alcohol whould have done to the mix.

As far as drinking goes...I cant because I have life threatning seizures.
However...I am proof that you can act like a total idiot without touching the bottle.

A few times.. The last time I kept throwing up violently the next day and decided I've had enough and gave up alcohol altogether to save my brain cells :P . I blacked out and my friends said I was about to jump off the patio... I can say it tastes horrible on its way out.. :P

I've never had headches during my hangovers... :shrug:

i drank 3/4's of a gallon of vodka, and then I woke up in my best friends bed. Apparently I went bowling then walked home and puked in the hallway on the way to my room, she found me, changed me, and took me to her room where I passed out and didn't wake up till noon the next day.. I was still drunk when I woke up - that was weird. I haven't drunk more then 2-3 mixed drinks since.

I've not passed out, but I have blacked out. My longest blackout (that I know of, because there could be others... thus is the nature of the blackout) is a period of about two to four hours from my Schoolies trip. I remember being on a beach burying a guy in sand and singing Steel Panther lyrics at the top of my lungs (TWO IN THE PINK AND ONE IN THE STINK! THAT'S CALLED THE SHOCKER!). Next thing I remember is climbing the stairs to my hotel wondering where the f**k my jumper went, and getting it back from a guy I met on the beach.

What I've pieced together since then is that I had a lengthy conversation with some bloke, who I introduced myself to the next day. He was not impressed that I didn't remember him. After that, my friends and I met two dudes who happened to be staying at our hotel, and apparently one of them was cold so I gave him my jumper. We spent the night on the beach trying to pick up women, and for some reason I put on a Manchester accent (I'm from Sydney. Yes, the one with the bridge.) and told everyone I was Liam Gallagher from Oasis... and I remember none of this.

Plenty of times between 2006 and early this year when I finally quit.
