WTF?! » Generally Speaking » Brain Droppings

Ok, I have drank for many many years, but recently I gave it up for the most part, to partake in other alterations. So last night I drink a little, little for me, about 1/4 of a half gallon of Bacardi. Shit I've drank much more than that many times. I stopped drinking by 7:30 pm, then by the time I left my friends I still felt a bit tipsy.... then it started to get worse, I don't know if it was the driving or what, but suddenly I'm getting worried, and I drive straight to work. I was going to stop by my friends house, but fuck, I was really starting to get sauced.

So I'm at work very early, but I knew the girl working, and we were talking. I sit down for a second, and fuck it all if I'm not getting more drunk. I went into some weird place where I kept getting sloshed with no more booze. It was nuts. It was like 4am before I started to feel right. I don't know if I had some allergic reaction, or I'm coming down with a cold, or WHAT... but I fucking didn't like it. I like having at least some idea of how much I can drink, and this blew it away. Anyways... just thought I'd share.

I drank half of your Bacardi and replaced it with everclear.

Now you know.

[Epidemic]

Everclear is fucking nasty.

[Havok]

Despite it's concentration, Everclear would probably leave your body faster. Happens to me. Beer drunks are the ones that kind of hang around and say "Nope, you're not done yet dude".

At least for me.

Once you finally do get drunk at least. Havok, I've seen you drink beer all goddamned night and not get drunk.

Sorry kids, but drinking and driving is a way of life where i come from. If you can't handle your shit when you're drunk, you don't live on a tropical island paradise where taxis stop running at 8:00 pm.

Furthermore, I'm sure JL didn't expect to be flat out DRUNK after drinking so little. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have driven. If you've seriously never gotten behind the wheel after one or two drinks, and knowing that you're still fine to drive, I hereby call you a liar.

Yeah drinkin' and driving is kinda the same around here. Small town, with lots of people from out of town who drink in town, too. Seeing as everyone around here either parties it up or despises it, it's quite difficult to find designated drivers.

Quite often the DD is simply the person who's more used to driving while drunk!

[AdrenaLyn]

Thats why I drink at home.

My dad is all sorts of fucked up because he was hit by a drunk driver when he was younger and was in a coma for 3 months. He has fake elbows and metal rods in his thighs. Oh...and he is fucking crazy because he has so much brain damage.

Pardon me for not taking the chance, even if it is what all the cool kids do.

[Brain Spout]

If you're feeling tipsy before you step into the car (as he mentioned), that should be a sign that perhaps you shouldn't be driving.

I've never drank and then driven, even 1 or 2 drinks, sorry to disappoint. As Lyn said, I'd rather not take the chance. If you know you won't have a ride home then either plan on sleeping there or don't drink, it's quite simple. If you aren't able to enjoy yourself with friends while sober, perhaps you should reconsider the role alcohol is playing in your life.

[JLXC]

Sorry to shock the crowd and all, I have Zero accidents, Zero DUI's, zero tickets of any sort. I'm not perfect, but I wasn't getting behind the wheel blindingly drunk, and I have showed up late when I was drinking to "get it out of my system." I was fine, then I wasn't, then it lasted uncomfortable hours. Hence the story.

I'm sure everyone is totally innocent here of... you know, driving while talking on a cell phone, texting, putting on make up, having a terrible cold and hopped up on cold medicine, etc. etc.

If I feel "drunk" I stay put. When I stop drinking for hours, then it mysteriously kicks back in, I draw the line at "You should have been psychic!"

[Avidity]

Actually, I am. I'll pay a cab before driving somewhere while on anything. Also, I invested in a hands-free cell phone system for my car recently. Originally, I just turned off my phone while driving.

I'm too paranoid of wrecks to drive so loosely.
