The Alcohol Induced Tales Thread

Stevo, for your sake, i'm glad absynthe is illegal in the states Just a touch worried (hypocritically perhaps ) with homework and a comprehensive knowledge of tippling-ripples all in one post. As long as everyone was happy in your 696 [you're practically in the mile high club ]

ok, enough winking.

Kudos to Steve for one of the best posts ever.

True. It is also a drink that, for some reason or another, inspires a deranged sort of courage. A bottle of Bundaberg Rum is the only reason a group of us went swimming at four in the morning in subzero temperatures.

The group shower that followed was also a direct result of this overt Rum consumption.

And, by the way, I'd like to apologize for anything I said or did on Saturday when I was PWI (posting while intoxicated). It looks like I had a little fun with Piddy (who red dotted me ) and it looks like I pm'd Mary (finally) but I've apparently deleted the evidence.

I'm waiting to see if anyone is hacked off at me

went to work party for christmas [in june], me [a boy], with 2 owners from melbourne [who ide never met] and about 15 girls that i was working with.

drank lots, talked a hell of a lot of bulls*it, somewhere between talking bulls*it and drinking lots, i got blind, wound up between the owners' shoulders 'escorting' me out of the building [apparently the bar didnt like their customers to appear to be dead], dribbling my address on the cabbies lap, finding my appartment and my bed, waking up to find that my bed was actually the complex's bin enclosure, i was sleeping under a branch using the kerb as my pillow....

hm, i wonder if i'll get promoted soon?

The last time I was drunk, 13yrs ago. I was drinking cocktails at a friends house, I bent down to say high to the dog and fell flat on my face, didn't even put my hands out to break my fall, broke my nose and had to have plastic surgery on it, very very painful, sniff sniff.

Okay, I have one of the only happy alcohol induced tales I can think of!

Me and my buddy brian were drinking at the bar last week, he was supposed to be doing his stand-up act that night, but they kept pushing him back to later in the show, so we kept downing beer after beer. We were there till atleast midnight before he finally went on, and I was drunker than hell. After we went home, I logged online to check my e-mail, and ended up having an IM conversation with a girl I liked from my work. We've been just flirting up a storm for weeks, months, etc, but neither of us had the nerve to tell the other how we felt. So, I, Being just piss drunk, let it slip. Turns out she was just as much into me as I was into her, and believe it or not, THAT is how our relationship started. So beer was actually useful for once! (Of course, the next day, I had to go to the army for my weekend drill still drunk, and that was no fun, but that's a totally different story)

Still ain't been drunk. I've had a few, though. I'm told I'm more affectionate when I'm a little tipsy. Whether or not this is true, I can't objectively say.

Funny how the crap doesn't taste as bad after you've downed a couple.

Ohhhh, the slippery slope

Are you saying you're not affectionate normally?

Hell, i'm tipsy on Georgian cognac (the perk of my job - novelty alchohol gifts) and i'm just lookin for the movie tab so i can confirm my affection for Catch 22. Got lost But damn i love this film. And damn, this cognac might even be 50 years old like it claims (i soooo doubt it tho - it's got my name on the label - bottled in my honour so it claims! Dangerous when a bottle starts talking to you )

Oh well, be sure to document your full initiation at a later date oh green-one

Hard to see that happening anytime soon. Unless my lady gone done me wrong.

Oh well in that case....the time will come, [add ominous reverb here] the time will come
That's how i started smoking again anyways (well, if you count my ex-lady only wanting to take time out from her steady )

Hmm...I have so many. Okay, here's one. 1988, Ft. Benning, GA. 2 of my best friends and I are celebrating July 4th. We decided to get some fireworks and alcohol so we picked up 3 bricks of firecrackers, 3 packs of 100 ct. bottle rockets, 30 roman candles, 1/2 gal. of Jim Beam, 1/5 of E&J Brandy, 1/5 of Youkon Jack, and a pint of Bacardi 151. We went deep into the tank trails after dark and proceeded to drink. We drank the half gallon and both 1/5ths. By the time we got to the pint, we were so drunk, we just used the 151 to spit fireballs. We started to have our firework wars after that and started shooting the roman candles at eachother. We were laughing so hard, I think at least all of us puked, at least. It didn't even occur to us how dangerous it was to point a roman candle at someone at 20 paces. Dodging, jumping, and getting smacked with a firey steel ball was all in good fun to us. We ran out of those and moved onto the bottle rockets. It's pretty wild when you're so drunk you can't see the earth around you and flying firecrackers are whizzing by your head or blowing up caught in your shoe. When we ran out of those, we sat in a triangle and took a brick of firecrackers each, then proceeded to light and throw. They were landing on our bodies with a loud crack, exploding by our ears, and going off before we could throw them. By the time we were all out, it was time to go back. That was when we noticed the flickering furter into the forest. We staggered to investigate and found, much to our chagrin and dismay, that we had started a modest fire in the forest. It was a circular fire about 25' - 30' in diameter. We finally decided to freak out at that point and just started stamping all over the place. By the grace of doG, we were able to get it all out. We went back to base to pass out and walked back to civilization. Once we reached the barracks, and into the light, we saw what we looked like. None of us were wearing shirts and all of us had shorts on. The last thing that made us look alike were all the burns all over our bodies. Soot, blood, and burn marks everywhere. One of us had a huge welt just a centimeter above the eye. We were fortunate and stupid. But it was still the greatest 4th of July I have ever had.

I like that one LordSlaytan, the vision of you guys drunk as skunks, no shirts, shorts, stomping on the fire, made think that we need you guys here in Aussie for our bushfire season.

I need some tequila, people! I just made NON-ALCOHOLIC margarita smoothees.

well that is just a travesty. thats like me drinking tonic water with no Danzka vodka. Or eating peanut butter without the jelly!!!

Come over to my house

I should. I need to get drunk right now. There's never any alcohol in my house.

A couple of years ago I was at a party with some friends, I wasn't drinking b/c I had to drive home that night, but everyone else was, and very heavily. There was lots of stupidity going on that night - people riding down stairs on boogie boards for example. Anyways this one guy got super-crazy drunk and was jumping around, and running into crap, and just being an ass. He said that he wanted to go for a jog and we told him, no he couldn't go outside. Later after we forgot about him and then we hear the front door slam shut. I go outside and see him running down the street in his boxers and nothing else, so I yell for someont to help me chase him, and about 5 of us go after him. At first we couln't find him but then we saw him lying on the back porch of one the neighbor's house. This was about 2 blocks over from the party. So I ran back to get my car, and when I got back they were chasing him through bushes and down the street like a wild dog. Eventually someone tackled him and got a hold on him. We got him into the backseat of my car and finally got him back to the house. He had blood all over his feet from stepping on sticks and rocks and such. I'm glad I wasn't drinking at this one because I wanted to remember every minute! It was crazy!

I heard that after I left the parents came home early and were absolutley pissed and called everyone's parents. Lucky me.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
