You Know You're A Bit Too Drunk When....
wow... maybe that's what fucked me up so much.....
but at the same time.. maybe it's a good thing i was never able to sleep, even when i'd had a 'tollerable' ammount of drunkness...when i get drunk i get the spins, when i get the spins, i can't even lay down, much less close my eyes...
medically speaking, maybe i'm more cut out for drinking than i had previously thought? (no, birdgirl don't take that the wrong way... doesn't mean i'ma go out thinking i'm superman drinking all my stomach can hold.... being too drunk is a rather miserable experience... and i don't intend on bringin that on myself anymore, ever again.)

Thanks for clearing that up BG. This part though...like...I dunno....just scares the shit out of me. Not only me...but I see and have seen soooooo many other people using alcohol to unnecessary limits. And now I hear such stories of not even over-doing it a bit...but to a point where this is possible.
I somehow think (could be wrong) that kids and young adults these days must consume massive amounts more booze than the last few decades. With all the pride (unfortunately), drinking games, funnels, and whatever else...drinking alot...not slow...but as quick as possible...our kids are gonna be fucked. When I was in HS...and this is really not an exaggeration...by the time we were juniors..I didn't know anyone that didn't drink on the weekends. Then sometimes during the week...it became the thing to do no matter what. Then college...pretty self explanatory. Yeahhh...anyway...maybe it's better to just not think about it? I don't want to know about any damage to MY brain or liver...knowing it would last forever. Keep that knowledge away....!!!
After kids around our age group grow up and then eventually pass away...we will all, as well as our kids...know the true effects of alcohol. I wonder if they'd every make it illegal again (probably not I know)...if they found out some astonishing facts. Like when we are 40 if we can no longer speak or something...lol (not funny really..)

mac, no they won't... becasue of what happened when it was illegalized.. it really makes no sense to me why one thing being spoken as illegal is so wrong, and immoral, yet you speak of something like weed and it's horrible, and the thought of even legalizing it, if just for medical reasons (and true medical reasons) is so ... 'satanic' or of an equal 'evil'....
but i guess then again, life and the world was never meant to make sense?

well consider yourself lucky.. imagine spinning around in the same circle... spinning so fast that it seems like you're face will rip off from the sheer g-force of it all.... then imagine going on a ride like that, while extremely shit faced and weak-stomach-ed....
long story short... it never, NEVER turns out well...

Yeah, I kind of doubt they'll ever make alcohol illegal, but if anyone ever did a true assessment, they'd see that alcohol causes a heck of a lot more harm than cannabis ever has.
Everything I've read confirms what you were saying MacWQ33, that there's more binge drinking now than there used to be. But when I was in high school and college 25 or 30 years ago, there was a lot then, too. We used to drink Everclear and grape juice in high school (I had a fake ID and was so tall I was rarely carded anyway) and in college people were doing funnels and drinking boilermakers and doing shots till they got sick, sick, sick. So it was pretty bad then, too.
Try not to worry too much about lasting damage in yourself. If you're alive and well now, chances are you're fine. Just don't drink yourself to the point of overwhelmingly heavy drunkenness or possible toxicity/poisoning from now on. The good thing about being young is that your liver still has time to repair itself, and with as small a portion of our brains as we really use, mild neurological damage probably isn't going to be an issue, if you even had that, which seems unlikely. Just learn from the past. And definitely keep an eye out on friends who're binge-drinking or running the risk of harming themselves. The far greater danger where kids and alcohol is concerned is still drinking and driving.

Yeah...I predominately drink beer now. I know it's not any better, but I've never heard of anyone getting to poisonous levels from solely beer (no doubt I'm sure it's happened..it must be pretty rare though). Thanks for the re-assurance BG...I might even keep this thread in mind next time I go out.

One time I had to walk from a marsh (couple kegs there) to my friends house...on the beach...yeah....I was pretty sandy when I woke up.
