You Know You're A Bit Too Drunk When....

[slipknotpsycho]

Yeah...haha...better have one leg on the floor to stop the spinning. I'm sure Hock can put down some beers...and I've done 25..I'm pretty small though. The times I did were definitely more than 4 hours. If you pace yourself...you could drink X amount of beers I'm sure. Also if you keep your nose on the table the whole night...

LOL about the fifth...musta been something else when it all hit you huh? Damn I remember my friend was being an idiot and took 13 (oh yeah..we counted) shot of Capt's in like 20 minutes one after the other...wasn't pretty. A few of us had to hold him when he took a piss...which went everywhere anyway...then he was out like a light.

no lie, but i'd get so drunk not even the one leg on the floor or a hand on the wall shit helped... i'd have to wait til i could close my eyes and not feel like i was spiraling out of control like a f-16 fighter jet that lost an engine, before i could go to sleeep lol.... and yes, when i drank the fifth, or any of the numerous times, when it hit me... i might as well of been hit by a freight train.... cuz DAYUM.... more than any human was ever ment to handle, much less someone who was 15-16 (or of later times 17+)... i regret every second of it, even to this day, but at the same time, i'm grateful for the experience, cuz those over doing it expreiences, are the ones that really teach you a new found respect for all drugs, including alcohol... everyone has thier limit... and i used to nuke mine completley, but not anymore... and personally, the earlier you learn your limits AND to respect them (two completely diffrent things imo) the better.... (and no for the smart asses i'm not telling a bunch of 10 year olds to go out and get drunk til they start puking up everything... lol)

another side story is the time i drank a half of a huge ass bottle of pepermint schnopps (much bigger than a fifth, dunno what mL it was) 2 maddog 20/20's and a half a bottle of armaretto (close to a fifth size of a bottle, involume) at 14, maybe 15... i had just gotten my foot cut on the ball of my foot just infront of my big toe, about 2 inches wide, and nearly an inch deep (you could literally see where my foot and toe bones met) after i was done drinking all that, i could walk on it no prolbem, and the cut wasn't even 24 hours old... i barely remember the day, but i remember standing up infront of everyone laughing my ass off walking all over the hotel room saying "look! omg! look! i can walk on my foot and i don't feel it! ~stomps on foot~ that is so cool!!!" ... lol...

That's a pretty dangerous game Hock...LOL...even I'll say that.

Question about alcohol poisoning...is it 100% that you have to go to the hospital and have your stomach pumped? Or are there like different levels to it.

[slipknotpsycho]

i drank a half fifth of everclear once.. i'm sure i had alcohol poisoning from that... still here aren't i? i would suggest going to the hospital... like seriously... but i guess you can get lucky? lol...

ima shut up now... i'm starting to sound mor eand more like an alcoholic...

you have no idea.

i really don't know about alcohol poisoning....i'm sure i've experienced a form of it over the years.

i've seen some kids get pretty fucked up though, i saw these two kids have a chuggin contest with vodka once at my old frat. one of them did end up in the hospital.

slip~ i think at one time i could have been classified as an alcoholic....or how did you put it.....a lowlife drunktard ? fucker

I totally agree that learning and respecting your limits are different (lol I fail to respect at times even though I know exactly when I should stop). And like you said those experiences are bad in the short-term but can help in the long run. Young and dumb...when you look back...you just shake your head with a grin though lol.

Also, I can picture you with your foot. That's quite the amount of liquor of a young lad like that...it was always hard alcohol for me at that age too. Now..hardly ever..but occasionally. It's almost scary to look back at yourself at that age. We used to get vodka...uggghhh...just straight vodka all night. I'm cringing right now...a few times we had no chase or mix....all that was available was water..chasing with water and/or eventually just trying to water the vodka down is never a great idea...

Edit: I've seen people have to go to the hospital. Mostly girls and vodka. I asked, because I too think I've been at that point once or twice. Maybe not though..at least close.

And Slip...blame all this alcohol talk on the Hockman...he got everyone going haha.

[slipknotpsycho]

all i can really say good for alcohol, is atleast it has a near- fail safe of puking up everything before it all has a chance to do damage... isn't a WHOLE lot of alcohol overdose deaths, but dont' take that lightly, it is very possible... just depends on the person and how well they're able to hold their alcohol, the better they can hold it, the worse for their health...

~pukes~

water and vodka?!

~pukes pukes pukes~

shit didn't have any kool-aid or NOTHING? lol.... ???

oh yes beer/wine was completely disgusting to me then... it was only hard liqour for me too (aside from maddog... cuz that's not exactly wine although it's supposed to be... anyone that has drank that and real wine will agree with me when i disagree that's wine )

... you wake up and you're in the middle of laying on a friend's bed eating Mexican takeout that he dropped off in his room while you were passed out there.

This has happened to me.

Question about alcohol poisoning...is it 100% that you have to go to the hospital and have your stomach pumped? Or are there like different levels to it.

Speaking as a former fire department paramedic, no, it's not certain that you have to go get your stomach pumped. Alcohol's absorbed so quickly that that's not how they treat it anyway, generally. They usually just give people fluids to help add non-alchol fluid volume to the bloodstream, keep them from aspirating vomit, monitor their levels of consciousness, check bloodwork to monitor blood-alcohol concentrations and liver health, administer oxygen, and wait and hope for the best. Sometimes they give IV potassium and magnesium if the person is very dehydrated from vomiting.

Drunkeness, as you know, has varying degrees. Alcohol's a depressant, and so when folks drink too much too fast and get their blood-alcohol levels over a certain point, they can depress their heart, respiratory and neurological systems to the point of unconsciousness, coma, and death. The other danger is that a person becomes unconscious and then throws up and asphyxiates on the vomit. Even if a person doesn't die from alcohol poisoning, he can have lasting brain and neurological damage and lasting liver damage. It's not a good thing at all.
