what's the sickest you've ever been from drinking?
I've told this one before. I was on a ski trip with Simon Fraser University. It was a 12 hour ride on a bus, the bus driver said he didn't care if we drank on the bus. So I, in my wisdom, decided if I drank beer I'd be peeing too much. Hence the idea of VODKA. So I began drink vodka, straight, through a straw. About and hour and a half in to the trip, I'm just fuckin' tweaked. And the bus is spinning. My buddy could tell something was up.

"Do you want a barf bag Jer?" He said.
I decided yes. He went and got me one. I held it to throwup. However, I was so drunk I didn't realize I was only holding it in front of me, and it wasn't open. So I heaved about six good heaves of puke onto my chest. I still feel bad about how much the smell must have disgusted the other bus goers. I tried to pass out on my other buddy, but naturally he pushed me off. So I went to the washroom to clean up. As I get to the door I hear someone yell, "Alright this guy knows how to party!"
I got in to the washroom looked at my chest....covered in vomit. I cleaned up as best I could and went back to my seat. I promptly passed out. The next day, I woke up, someone had changed my shirt, my pants were missing, and a number 7 was post-it noted to my chest.

Later when we got to the ski hill, I was busy cleaning dried puke outta my beard, with everyone pattingme on the back- even people I didn't know.

At the end of the whole thing everyone went for beers. Whenever I chugged they all chanted "Barf boy barf boy!" It was funny.

At the begining of the trip, the organizers said, "anyone who gets totally wasted will be left on the side of the road." - I sure showed them .

Yours?

1. Puke sick or hangover sick?
Puke: pounded beers and grog at a frat party then got stuck in the back seat of some little sports car. We hadn't gone 50 feet before I knew I was in trouble. About 4 blocks from there I shoved the guy in the passenger's seat against the dash, stuck my head out the window and repainted the side of his car. After that I have no idea how I got to my room, but I do remember giving the guy cash for a car wash.
Hangover:At the Stuttgart version of Oktoberfest I had about 5L of beer in about 3 hours. I suppose I'm lucky that I got the right subway home, but I did. Didn't puke, but I spent the entire next day in bed with a wet washcloth over my eyes, wishing I could die. That's when I learned that beer and I don't get along too well.

2. One time at an SCA event...
Midnight, Murder Melee, and I'm at the Rozaacki Party, and someone hands me a Giggle Melon (a watermelon that's had a hole punched in it and it's been saturated for days with alcohol) with a piece of garden hose sticking out of it, for drinking. I took it and took a swig, intending only to take one or two swallows, and wound up taking about 10 or 12 because I was thirsty and didn't know it (autonomic swallowing response).

I wound up curled up on a hay bale, holding my stomach and whimpering. That was when I discovered that rum and I don't get along very well.

A nice guy picked me up off the bale and took me back to his tent (because I couldn't remember where mine was) and fed me water, grape soda, and Gatorade until I sobered up. He kept me awake and kept me from getting exposure or something on that hay bale. :)

4. Woke up one Sunday afternoon to the phone ringing
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 01:01 AM by bubblesby2002
And my friend asking me how I was. I had a huge headache and a big bandage over one side of my head, and I couldn't remember how it got there. It seems I had been dancing and was so drunk I fell over and banged my head on a table. My friends took me to the hospital to get stitches and I puked on the Doctor stitching me up. Still have a scar over my left eyebrow. I had been drinking communal screwdrivers that someone had liberally added little white pills called speeders to, and that's why I got so loaded. It sure was a good party though!

6. Mind if we call you barf boy now?
The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're
sober. - William Butler Yeats

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. - Henny Youngman

If you ever reach total enlightenment while drinking beer, I bet it
makes beer shoot out your nose. - Jack Handy

22. a few more drinking quotes
Dorothy parker:
I like a martini, two at the most, three I'm under the table and four I'm under my host.

Lady astor to sir W. Churchill: Sir, you're drunk!

Church in response: Yes madam and you're ugly... but the difference is in the morning I'll be sober.


My dad (at ANY family function): Ya'll are hard to take sober.

My mom (in response): Us sober, or you sober?

8. I fell off a 2nd story balcony into some evergreen bushes
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 03:25 AM by SoCalDem
I am allergic to them, and the next morning when I woke up, it looked like I had lost a battle with a tiger.. I had scratches all over me..

I was wearing very short shorts and a halter top when I fell.. Someone called the cops and since my dorm floor was already on social probation, we had to leave in a big hurry.. Ahhhh to be 18 again...NOT !!!!

I never did find my shoes :shrug:

9. two or three times
Puked in my sleep a couple of times-nothing like waking up to that.....

One night it was dollar pitcher night at a college bar. Actually it started at about 2 in the afternoon. So we went for awhile. I remember we didn't bother with glasses, just each of us had our own pitcher. I remember them sweeping up around me....must have been the dinner time lull in the bar... got on the subway to get home..got off a few times...got on random busses...( I had a pass to do this) remember sitting on a curb, maybe puking wondering where I was...somehow got home...passed out. apparently my girlfriend had friends over and I embarrassed her somehow. Something about playing music and dancing around.

10. End of Term Squadron party, RAF College, Cranwell
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 08:01 AM by Striker Davies
Took over a pub near Lincoln and followed the tradition of Alphabet Drinking (Advocat, brandy, champagne, daquari.....)

All of us absolutely legless. Arrived back at the RAF College at 2:00am, proceded to hold a Ceremonial Parade on the Parade Square, dressed in RAF 12.5 Dress (Our creation - RAF Number 1 Dress is Officer Pattern Uniform, Number 2 is Drill Gear, etc, etc). Number 12.5 was flying helmet, bone dome, oxygen mask, white wing collar with bow tie, string vest, jock strap and boots, with gaiters, rifle and bayonet attached.

Not in good shape the next day. Or the one after, which was the Passing Out Parade of the graduating entry.

I couldn't touch alcohol for nearly a year after that.

11. A friend of mine went blind for a while after drinking a ton of Franzia
He promised God almighty that if he regained his sight he'd never drink White Zinfandel again. Only White Zin specifically. And he never has since

15. When I was in the Army, I went on a massive, four-alarm, rattle the
windows bender. I was pissed off because my platoon sergeant had given me a soul-killing ass-chewing for not showing the proper motivation for one of his make-work shit details. That night I slammed a whole bottle of Seagrams and whatever else I could snarf up at our little room-party. I ended up reading poetry out loud to the whole barracks room (Oh Captain, my Captain was the favorite number of the evening) and puking an ocean all over our nicely waxed, inspection-ready floor. I finally crawled into bed and woke up with a jackhammer trying to drill into my skull, and lying in a pool of puke. I had been one or two deep breaths away from a Jimi Hendrix-style sendoff. It was awful. :evilfrown:

23. Also a black-out drinker
But was never out for days!!

Beer and winecoolers make me feel sick but too much liquor (wine or the harder stuff) makes me pass out.

18. only once in my entire life did I go to work hungover
ONCE because gawd did I learn my lesson. I was in the military, got trashed one night, then had to perform 12 hours of "dorm duty" the next day - which include polishing floors. And my coworker taunted me constantly about chili cheese dogs. I felt sick all day and my head, my poor head. I kid you not, I have not done it since. What a miserable f***ing day that was. :o

19. I learned my lesson one year
Over time, I no longer drink on work nights. It's not worth the suckiness the next day.

20. One time I matched my rugby-player friend drink for drink
Male rugby player against a lightweight girl like me. It was at a college party my senior year. The university bussed us to and from the venue and I got sick on the bus back to school. I also got sick in my dorm room, and was sick the entire next day. I was so stoopid. :dunce:
