Find a way to dump a few if you can!

I drank my self blind when i was about 15, passed out and woke up to complete dark before i passed out again. Turns out i was lucky to live the night. That level of drunk isnt as fun as it sounds.

Cheers,

I agree. 21 drinks is a lot of drinks.

Water-beer-water-beer-water-beer.......You get the picture. It will help dissipate the alcohol, still get you into that nice "lucid by comprehensive" drunkness, and you can last all night. Who cares if your friends tell you otherwise? At age 21, you shouldn't really be caving to peer pressure to do stupid things anyways. That's more of an 'age 15' thing.

One night I was at a bar and ordered a jug... not a pony jug, but a regular sized jug of vodka 7. Shortly afterwards my friends decided to go to the peelers down the street... So I downed the jug in a stupid amount of time and walked down the street. Got to the other bar, peed, and decided that I needed to puke but didn't want to. So I drank so much water that not only did I no longer have to puke, but I was also almost sober again AND (this is the best part,) the broken seal was reversed. I didn't pee for the rest of the night.

So that's my advise. If you get to a point where you feel you may puke, tell your buddies you're switching to water for a bit, order jugs until the urge to puke goes away, the world stops spinning, and you feel almost sober again. (You have to drink lots and fast.) Then continue on.

Unless you're a heavy drinker already, expect to at the least pass out and puke. Keep in mind you're basically trying to drink a case of beer by yourself in a few hours.

Good luck rookie.

cement mixer isnt that bad, when I was 16 me and my buddies were at the keg lounge and I had a fake id, they kept buying me different drinks and shots for fun. One was a cement mixer, it was gross yes but not nearly as bad as a prairie fire, or that dry martini when they made me eat the giant olive or drinks weren't paid for (and I cannot stand olives)

My 18th was a mess, im sure I did 18 that night but it wasnt set where I was supposed to get to. We went to the French maid and it was a tuesday and after midnight was 2 dollar drinks, and I worked at 4 AM and i had worked at 4 AM the morning of as well with no rest, got to work on time after a 20 minute nap at a buddies house and then passed out for 3 hours after recieving the order for that day. I was pretty tired at noon when the shift was over.

I was resigned to crapping myself until I remembered something someone posted on CalPuck, "it's always better to puke on the floor and crap in the toilet". So following that advice I switched positions and began puking all over the floor. Once I was finished both pooping and puking, I tried to get up, slipped and hit the floor with a resounding thud putting a tooth through my lip. My roommates run in to the bathroom to find me with my pants around my ankles lying in my own puke and blood. They take me to the hospital.

Needless to say, that's not the story I told my mom.

haha reminds me of this story (caution: this link is NSFW) http://forums.somethingawful.com/sho...readid=2357238

My younger brother by 2.5 years and I look alot alike. So when I turned 18 so did he basically. I went down to the DMV said I lost my license and gave my old one to him. So at the age of 15 my brother was going to the bar pretty much every weekend. Where the story gets funny is when he actually did turn 18. His best friends birthday was on the same day. So we all went to the bar to celebrate their 18th birthdays. His friend was passed out in the parking lot before 9pm. My brother stayed till closing and went to Denny's for breakfast afterwards with the rest of us.

A bunch of us took a buddy to the peelers for his 18th (anyone remember Misty's?). We were sitting on perv row but got bumped back to a booth because he was chucking the loonies a bit too hard. My buddy decided that he wasn't done tossing loonies and flicked one from the booth and hit the girl in the teeth. She was pretty angry and we all got kicked out of the bar where he fell flat on his face in the parking lot.

That's called idiot drunk.

FlamesKickAss · 07-19-2008, 11:40 AM

I forgot the best part of my birthday story (according to my friends) the maid we were at was speakeasy and me and another buddy went over to the hideout to play some vlts and when leaving there i walked into the door.

onetwo_threefour · 07-19-2008, 01:36 PM

Well, obviously I missed giving you my story in advance, it's similar to yours.

Around my 21st, we did it at a house party and I actually got through it. Problem was I did it in about 2 1/2 hours and in the stupidest way possible.

First I had about 5 Caesars, then we started shooting Sambuca, We went through a 26 of Sambuca between 2 people, then ran out of booze. (Everybody was drinking everyone else's).

The host of the party had wanted to make Jello shooters for some reason, and that afternoon had made a batch of Green Jello with 197-proof Everclear. (I still don't know where it came from, but I saw the bottle afterward) Anyway, predictably, the Jello wouldn't set because of the alcohol content, so these 13 shooters (it was a mickey, thank God) were just sitting on the kitchen table and no-one would touch them. By that point I was right pissed and trying to finish off my quota, so me and another guy started shotgunning them. I don't know whether I had 5,6, or 7 of them, but I had enough. At that point I decided to have a beer. (Which I am allergic to.) I then dropped my glass, and broke it. I tried to pick it up, but ended up skewering my palm on the broken glass leaving scar that I still have to this day.

It was probably a good thing that I had a beer in a way, because it made me start puking right away, and I might be dead if I hadn't. A friend of mine drove me home, where I bled all over my apartment, continued puking for about 3 hours then passed out for about 8 more.

Then I had to go to work, in a restaurant kitchen, cooking on a grill. Needless to say I shouldn't have gone, but I did anyway because my bosses knew where I had been the night before. They sent me home after an hour of me running to the bathroom every three minutes, and I'm pretty sure I was still drunk too. Then I passed out for another 18 hours.

About two days later I started to feel normal again.

To this day, I can't drink Sambuca...

You're some kind of amazon. Or an alien.

The key is water, I don't know about this Tums stuff or a bunch of carbs (not trying to pick on anyone). Either way, you're still going to have to metabolize the same amount of alcohol, so the key is going to be to keep hydrated and flush that alcohol out of your system. Not to be a Debbie Downer - I enjoy a beer or two as well - but it's a poison to your body, so get it out as quickly as you can.

I heard that downing pedialite the morning after will cure a hangover.....never tried it though.

As far as what to drink, if you're not a seasoned pro I'd go slow. If you rush it you'll vomit, and any meal preparations you did beforehand will come back to haunt you.

Displaced Flames fan · 07-19-2008, 08:41 PM

Strange! I always got the feeling you were older. 30's or so. Good luck to you!

I can vouch for pedialite, I would always have some on hand the morning after and it did an amazing job of killing a hangover.

There used to be a tradition in our family growing up. When we came stumbling home from the bar half walked out of our mind, there'd be a ham sandwich and a pitcher of ice water in the fridge waiting for us.

But there would always be a price, my old man would have me up at 6 in the morning for a full day of vomit inducing chores (IE sanding the deck, or varnishing the deck, painting the fence). One summer he had me up and cutting down a tree in our backyard.

onetwo_threefour · 07-20-2008, 12:24 AM

Mine would lock me out of the house!

I know that sounds totally ridiculous but it's true.

One of the reasons I had moved out shortly after my 19th.

Berger_4_ · 07-20-2008, 01:41 AM

I know I'm a little late on the worst drink thing, but I've got the worst one by far. It's what we like to call the Ironman, and it's a right of passage as a male on your eighteenth. Your bestest buddy in the whole wide world gets to dump as much salt as he feels is necessary onto the table, which you proceed to suck up with your nose. Then comes a shot of tequila, and your head is tilted back whereupon said best friend holds open your eye and gets to squirt as much lemon as he desires into your eye.

That's not a drink. That's an interrogation technique.

Thanks, I'm an old soul.

Drank a bunch of beers last night, it didn't feel too good but then again it was Bud Light. So I'm too worried...

The pedialite idea is probably a good one, but usually when I have hangovers it comes with nausea and the inability to keep anything down.
