Is it a good night when you don't remember going out?

Of course there is, but one can lead to the other unintentionally. I tend to learn the hard way once every 6 months. Not cool, but it isn't intended.

I just dont understand why you would need to learn "the hard way" every six months.

when I was 17, i got so drunk, i vomited in the drain outside the pub then collapsed in a heap on the path for a while. covered in mud and probably a little puke, I was taken home by my friends.

how many times did it take me repeating this to know where my limits were.

none. its very simple. when your speech starts to slur or you feel unsteady on your feet stop bloody drinking.

I would just like to point out, there is a difference between getting drunk and having fun and being paralytic. and why risk looking like a complete idiot and filling A&E when you smash your face off the floor.

Its just sad. Know yourself, Know your limits. That doesn't mean don't get drunk.

Yeah, it was apparently an extra strong punch that sneaked up on me... :(

Just so everyone know's this is one of my best mate's girl and nothing would/could and didn't happen. She's a mate and a great one at that for getting me home in one peace. :)
 
I know its boring and I know you must all think i sit at home wearing twead being T-Total but I do love a drink, I love to go out, im happy to get drunk. but not since I was 17 have I once been unable to remember a night or been unable to walk home in a sensible fashion.

just keep in mind...

1 unit of alcohol takes 10 to 20 minutes to hit the blood stream and an hour after that to clear out of your system.

1 shot of a spirit = 1 unit
pint of normal beer = around 2.5 units.

so, if you drink say five pints in an hour, it will take 12.5 hours for that alcohol to be fully removed from your system. drinking on top of that in such a short space of time and your just asking for stupidity to ensue.

From teetering on being comfortably drunk, one unintentionally very badly measured gin and tonic in a pint glass can send you well over the edge.

It only tends to happen with spirits. I've never drunk beer until I was been sick.

So why why why for the love of god drink more when you KNOW your at your limit? it just completely makes no sense to me. You know its not good for you, youl look a pillock, youl feel like utter dog muck in the morning as opposed to just a simple head throb.

it confuses me beyond measure. I presume its a lack of education firstly about yourself and your body, and secondly about alcohol and exactly how its interacting with your body and its time scales of effect. (talking in general, not pointing fingers )

I think people measure their limits differently, my limit is at the point I lose memory and/or vomit, I'm fine up to then and it'd take a fair amount to get me to that level (~£50 of booze at a pub/club) or a bottle of vodka.
I also dont really get particularly bad hangovers =/

If you have to bloody Vomit thats not your physical limit is it.... (give me strength) By that point, you've gone past it.

Pretty much, and that they are mostly young/dont think/care about this.

Most people learn the hard way, myself included.

Its just bloody sad, we have the best night life and city centres in human history, a whole weekend world dedicated to our enjoyment, and I have to contend with paralytic idiots vomiting everywhere, p***ing up everything, getting into fights, being dragged about and held up by mates and 200 police officers running around like bloody headless chickens burning trails of council tax as they go.

I would say that is my physical limit, and I tend to stay under that on the majority of occasions I drink.

Well, talked to a few other people from last night, and I was talking about stuff I shouldn't have to many people.
Mentioned a girl I was with before I got with my GF, who my GF doesn't know about. Also text this said girl (nothing bad in that way, just a merry, drunken, hope you're happy too text, but defiantly shouldn't have done it).
Also, the people at this bar all live in the same college as me and both girls.

Bad times mate.

Yeah I agree with you on that. Unfortunately some people won't learn as quick as you did and it becomes a trend.

Hmmm. That's not even half of it though, I honestly can't remember it, but I was filled in on some of the highlights but not all. They don't know who else I talked to last night either, so I could have said bad stuff to lots of people, maximising the chances of things getting back to my GF.
It's bad, trust me. : /

If your alcohol toxicity levels are so high that your body is inducing vomiting to stave off the possible onset of alcohol poisoning (and folks, that's EXACTLY why your vomiting all of a sudden) then you are quite plainly beyond your physical limit.

I don’t know, it’s weird, sometimes I wake up and I really have to say to myself, you are a total tool.

Other times I will remember bits and feel like I have had a good night.
 
its all just jibba jabba, unless you wanna meet me at the pub and we would put a wager on it

I might say crazy things, but i dont make stuff up

I had a very bad experience with vodka when I was 15, which ended up with me in hospital, having hit my dad and an ambulanceman. What this taught me was to stop being an idiot when it comes to drinking. Shame it took that, but I also now fully appreciate restricting sales of alcohol to young people.

Alas, I can't say it stopped me drinking too much forever, and I do get blanks once in a while. These days however, I only drink beer, and my usual response to getting trashed is falling asleep on the spot, even if that happens to be the middle of the road while walking home :p
