A thoroughly unpleasant experience...

Yeah, it wasn't good

but I think I wasn't anywhere near metabolizing all of it

dude, a bottle is only ~26 drinks

Yes, and 1.5 bottles is 40 drinks.

40 > 20

Damn, 20 is a bit much for me. I guess that explains my above post.

Actually, I don't drink as much as I used to any more. Just a few drinks when I go out. About 3-4 is a nice comfort zone for me. Though I can't drink beer. I can 5 vodka tonics and still be able to get home on my own. However, 5 mugs of beer will send me to the toilet and nearly wipe me out. I don't know why this is.

Make that 17 drinks (for 750 mL)

1.5 bottles is 26 drinks, which is still more than 20, but you have probably done it before

20 is a heavy night for me too. I'm assuming that's spread over 5 hours or so. I'll still be rip-roaring drunk off that. But I'll be enough in control not to puke myself (generally) or do anything too stupid...

I've drunk that much before, but it was a mistake...

I also would question the exact equivalence of 1.5 ounces to 12 ounces of beer. It's always seemed to me that the water content in beer helped you to absorb the booze slower. You're also likely to drink a case of beer slower than a bottle of whiskey...

[Jon Miller]

There is actually a maximum that your body can metabolize. So the fastest way to get drunk (by drinking alcohol) is to drink drinks whichs are ~25% or something like that.

I do agree that you can generally get drunk faster using hard liquor than beer. Also, time is a factor. (and how much you had to eat and drink before hand, etc)

Bull****. The mix of stuff in your stomach at that point is certainly hypertonic. Getting rid of it can only help you, especially if you manage to hold down a couple of glasses of water when you're done.

Not according to medical officials in rape cases.

I've just been on the worst date of my entire LIFE!!!

I'd been hitting it off with a chick called Rebecca; she's 23 so a bit older than me, very clever, very attractive, just my kinda girl. We went to a bar, two drinks and she was vomiting like a penguin so I left. Unfortunately, before she started hugging the toilet, we met one of her friends, Sara. I left the bar and went to another. Sara followed me .

This girl was fugly. We're not talking your run-of-the-mill "OMFG I would rather be castrated with a red hot, blunt chisel than hit it with you", we're talking elephant with proteus syndrome ugly. The elephant thing isn't far off, she was HUGE as well, easily over 6 feet tall, built like canary wharf! I was thinking to myself that I had to come up with a damn good excuse otherwise she'd beat me up.

With retrospect, I probably should have just said sorry, we're not clicking, I gotta go; and just walk out. Unfortunately I'm too much of

a gentleman to be honest, so I strung it out, she kept ordering drinks on MY tab ( ). Eventually she went to the toilet so I set the alarm on my phone to go off in 10 minutes.

She got back, my phone went off, and I said that I had to go, "my dad's had a heart attack I have to catch a train to London". I thought that would be the end of it but no, she actually wanted to walk me to the train station (about half a mile from where we were) . I mean, how the hell do you get out of something like that? I guess I should have been "cruel to be kind" earlier in the evening. What would be an appropriately incisive thing to say in such a situation.

Now I live in a suburb about 3 or 4 miles south of Northampton, getting back would have been a nightmare and considering that she'd been raping my overdraft enough that evening, I wasn't about to get a taxi, so I bought a ticket to Milton Keynes, and took the bus back up to Northampton which passes close to where I live. £2 cheaper than a taxi .

I feel so socially inept .

It all sounds very suspicious. Did you pick Rebecca up that night, or was this a planned 'date'? If it was a planned date, it's suspicious that you ran into her friend; it sounds like she may have wanted an 'out'. If it was a night out, you should've brought a wingman, preferably straight or at least a butch gay guy, to peel away the friend. This is Girls 101.

Also, starting a tab is the worst thing that you can do if you get saddled with a date and/or an ugly friend. That's a green light to soak you for all that you're worth.

[binTravkin]

What strikes me as disturbingly ironic is that you had no qualms leaving a sick friend behind (assuming you care for girl one, which you should because she is clever and cute), not offering her to walk her home or just calling a cab for her... or just open the ladies' door and ask her if she's allright... while you went to great and unnecessary lengths to look nice to someone you don't care about.

By god your right, am I a sucker for punishment or something?

Well, sucker or no sucker, you got what you deserved.

You were a pig and you got a pig.


Even being an atheist I sometimes think there's some greater mind.
This could be a good proof God exists..

To be fair... most british girls seem to take to having a bottle of wine or half a bottle of vodka before they go out at that age. Which might explain the puking...

I dont think that goes for just british women. When i was on the party scene me and my friends would always get started before we hit the clubs. This way wed only have to buy a few while we were there since the drinks always are so expensive. The idea behind that was get a head start, have fun while getting to the end stage, close to drunkeness, at minimal cost.

Never said they didnt , but me as a female didnt expect hunky dude to buy drinks. Never know what hunky dude will want for the price of a beer....
Being the smart ass I am did have a chance to use a great line on some guys. I asked what the going rate was for a beer now days, blow job or a kiss?? Some laughed and some didnt
Go figure
