3. Never
Edited on Mon Jan-18-10 08:07 PM by rrneck
I liked the taste of liquor the first time I tried it. For some reason I've always savored it. Especially good Tequila. Although if I could get good moonshine it might well turn me into a drunk.

5. Never for me, too.
I've never done "shots" nor do I want to. I like a good sipping tequila, or Kahlua, or Grande Marnier :)

4. Once, in the Army. I went on a serious bender and woke the next morning
in a pool of my own vomit. I could have aspirated, and stepped out, a la Jimi Hendrix... :beer::boring::puke:

12. That had to be a lot of puke to fill a pool.
Yeah, yeah -- Spinal Tap drummer.

There was this pub crawl around London. No puke, but I couldn't open my eyes all weekend or else they'd start bleeding. Never again.

13. At least I knew it was MY puke, so I didn't have to dust for vomit.
:P

6. My friend once consumed so many shots that he tried to endanger me by fighting me
But his drunken kung fu was no match for my drunken kung fu.

8. Once in college.
Drank about 12 shots of rum in an hour, and then topped it off with a little weed.

It was not a good night. :puke:

9. more than a few times but not much anymore
there just aren't very many people that could hang if I went on one of those kind of binges. And it usually takes another drunk to get me in the competitive mode anyway. Plus there is some serious alcoholism in the family. :toast:

14. I could drink 2 cases of beer in a day back when I was young.
A six pack would give me a slight buzz. I was a very expensive date (if the lady was picking up the tab).

17. "Endangered" in what way?
I "endangered" myself by falling down a flight of stairs while carrying my bicycle, after a wild party. That was in 1998.

18. In whatever way the alcohol causes endangerment
either directly (too much in the blood) or through impaired actions.

This was a copycat thread anyway, so no need to take it too seriously ;)

25. I noticed it was a copycat thread too late
after I had already told my shameful story.

So, ;) yourself.

26. No problem.
I hope you weren't hurt too bad. I don't really like to read tales of pain as I tend to put myself in the situation mentally...

27. Nah, I had a gash across the nose and maybe a bruise or two.
It was a fun party so I laughed it off..

I honestly don't remember how I got home, though.

28. Alcohol never affected my memory.
Don't know if that's a good thing... :P

Glad to hear you weren't too banged up :)

29. Alcohol is SUPPOSED to make you forget!
Have you ever had a drink from beer bong or a beer helmet?

Just say yes you did, but you don't remember.

30. Beer was never my choice for drunkeness.
That would be vodka's responsibility :P
Oh, I got drunk enough to pass out, but I remembered it all! Other than the time while I was out ;)

21. in august...
Downed eight shots of Patron in the course of an hour. I got behind the wheel, drove seven miles, and flipped my car. The car was totaled and I am lucky to be alive.

24. Wow!
I knew people would post their stories, but nothing quite so "sobering". Were you injured?

By the way, what's with the "I" at the end of your post? That's the second one I've seen tonight and don't get it...

33. You are lucky to be alive and you are lucky you didn't kill anybody else!
Please don't drive drunk again.

22. 21th birthday.
My friend Spike lined up 21 shots. I think I made it to 13 or 15. My memory of that night is somewhat hazy.

23. A couple of times...
You have to be careful mixing green with booze, as marijuana can trigger alcohol poisoning by lowering the level of nausea. Drink enough and it doesn't matter though.

34. True words spoken from my mouth...
"No more pints of scotch." New Years Eve in 1996 damn near ended me.
