Friday Night Fuckup

[Hero*]

Alcohol is partly based on geneology so yes, there are certain regions of the world that for the most part have higher alcohol tolerances then other parts of the world. I am heavily Irish, partly German, and live in Texas, I grew up and started drinking at an early age, because my brothers were into it and were older then me. My grandparents on both sides drank alot, and so on and so on. I mean that is nothing to brag about, but needless to say I can drink quite a bit, and alot of my friends from this area can also.

well it usually depends on the size of someones stomach etc. on how much they can actually hold. I know a few irish people that can drink a lot and some that can only drink 6-7. Why on earth are you wanting to drink more anyways? If you need to drink alcohol to spark a convo with a girl or try to fit in then you need to look at yourself and change something.

On another note i watched a documentary on Andre the giant and he would drink 24beers and still be the designated driver hehe, thought that was funny. They also said he could drink 100beers. incredible!

Smoking shisha while drinking is rarely a good idea.

I found it to be okay when I had a couple beers the night before, the amount of alcohol I consumed plus the shisha got me good, i payed for it in the end. I'm actually planning on going back to Montreal, it's quite an awesome place to visit.

Competitive drinking is a sport in Texas, There is nothing more entertaining at a party than pounding a beer in three seconds and then doing it five more times to defeat the previous champion who happened to vomit first. Long live the Big King.

Steers and queers...

Okay, smoking shisha while getting drunk is not a good idea.

As a representative from Texas, I have to backup this kthx guy's statement. There is definitely nothing better for a party atmosphere than some idiot drinking for the sake of entertainment. That shit will pack a party house like no other.

Especially if he's Irish.

I wish people knew how to hold their liquor. It would make shit so much easier.

I'm so glad we have Eric is God to show us how a morally superior....NAY...a completely superior person, in every facet of life, would approach this situation.
YOU JUDGEMENTAL FUCK!!!! IT'S CALLED EXPERIMENTATION, JUST CUZ YOU MISSED OUT ON THE FUN DOESN'T MAKE YOU BETTER THAN US

...and there's the requisite opinion of a total square that doesn't actually drink if that's what you were looking for, DTF. I imagine you weren't because your parents probably gave you the same speech.

I don't think anyone was talking about "party credentials" Eric. The guy made a mistake and drank too much, and DTF decided to get the kid's parents involved. If someone did that to me when I was in high school, I would be pretty pissed. My parents aren't going to help, and my hangover and regret that I was so dumb would certainly be enough punishment. The last thing I'd want as a 17 year old are misguided parental concerns of alcoholism and being grounded. As far as medical care, going to the hospital is fucking expensive, and it gets a whole bunch of people involved. I've been around a bunch of puking people and have never been in a situation where anyone needed to go to the hospital. News stories are just that - stories. The friends of the people that died are going to tell the story that makes them look like they are as little at fault as possible. If you check up on someone regularly and make sure they don't sleep on their back, they aren't going to die, ESPECIALLY if they are puking the alcohol out of their system already.

A 36 hour hangover is insane. You didn't drink "a couple too many" if you had a hangover for 36 hours, you must have drank easily twice as much as you should have to get drunk. Basically, my point is that your general intelligence doesn't make up for the fact that you know nothing about drinking. Saying that I don't deserve to live to age 25 because I drink, and I used to not know my limits is ridiculous. Does it make you feel good to act morally superior to people that socialize successfully?

edit: squeez, high five for us both using the phrase morally superior

He mentioned it and it seemed he was angry at his friend for getting drunk because it might cost him future invites to parties. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I took it.

No, you missed the point. I called my parents to bring me and Ben home. I'm not mad at Ben one bit, but merely questioning decisions that I made. Its the whole hindsight bias, now that I know the outcome, its easier to see whats wrong or right with what I did, but you have to think of how I, who was also pretty fucking blitzed, was thinking at that moment. I see my best friend, shivering and sputtering and groaning, and there are people throwing shit at my driver, Ben, and myself because I'm trying to get him to move inside. The fight or flight mechanism completely went into gear and my brain said to get the fuck out of there. Now that is what I'm concerned with for losing "credentials".

But I have rethought my decision, and probably would have done the same thing again. Sure, I could still have brought him somewhere safe without getting his parents involved, but you have to realize, the kid was supposed to be home that night. He didn't have plans to crash at anyone's house, so his parents would undoubtedly call my family first, seeing as they are just as good friends as Ben and me. This meant Ben was going to be in trouble any way, and this is the least controversial way I could see his parents finding out. If you were a parent, how would you feel in this scenario?

I weigh 155 pounds. My last birthday I had 12-14 drinks (mostly shots) and it was a couple too many.

have fun blacking out? I've done some stupid shit, there's evidence of that in this thread but for someone who doesn't drink often you've got to be retarded to have over ten drinks.
