Stag Do = Bachelor Party = Alcohol
Alcohol = Drunken Nermal2097
Drunken Nermal2097 = Waking Kymbogs up at 2.30 in the AM to come find me wandering in the middle of the road, incoherent, oblivious and covered in vomit.
Nermal2097 = Very guilty and very sorry = no more alcohol

You dirty dog!

In your basket. In your basket!

I'm truly appalled by your disgusting behaviour...

I've got 2 toddlers and I don't get that dirty!

It's been a looong time since I drank till I was sick.
I spend too much time dancing to want a lot of liquid sloshing around...

I'm not saying I'm a good boy; I don't go out as often as I'd like, but when I do...
I'm notorious for having zero shame, dancing on stage with complete strangers, spanking them, having young ladies frot themselves on my thigh, joining in with a stripper (then continuing the show after she left...)...

But I never spew up!

So, on that note, when's your stag do?

PS: If you are having a stag do...
Don't let Kym read that last post!


It was on saturady night. Before then it has been a very long time since i was that drunk. (well a few years at least). never again.


I had like 4 shots of tequila over about 6 hours and it made me throw up; guess I cant tolerate that stuff or ate something bad cause I didnt feel very intoxicated. Sheesh, I am such a lightweight; I hardly drink at all since my kids were born.

getting lost wandering around the road sounds way dangerous, I would recommend you not do that very often. I agree with nermal; got drunk a few times long ago and don't like it at all; something to not be repeated. I dont understand how some people can get drunk every weekend, is just bizarre.


The most I drink now (in one night) is around five or six beers... This happens maybe once every two weeks, usually at home (alone or with friends) while watching hockey. I SOMETIMES wake up the next morning with a slight headache, but nothing serious.

I've calmed down drastically compared to that summer after highschool. In the last fifteen years since then, I got really drunk maybe three times, but never to the extent of wasting the next day wishing I was dead.

You're drinking days aren't over pal... But you might of just realized that it just isn't fun to get wasted.

Take it easy.

Ultradan


Yep. yep. There was a time when I felt invulnerable and would drink way past the 'fuzzy feelling'. Whatever you got...Milwaukees Best/MadDog/Cherry Vodka/Tequila/just gimmee some!

"Warm beer is all that's left...well, crack one open...bleh."

or "Ok, last call? Gimmee two shots and I'm outta here. bleh."

But after about 25 yrs old, that stuff hurt me too much to keep it up. After 33 or so, wine was all I would drink. The sweetness or the tannins (depending) would limit my intake and I could drink a big ol' glass of water right before bed and be semi-ok the next day (depending). I recently started back up with some rum-n-cokes and a few rolling rocks. But, my body has now set a limit on my drinking.

The Exchange

Yup, I am in the same boat as Ultradan, I sometimes(2-3 x week) have 1-3 brews after the kids go to bed to unwind a bit. Once every couple of weeks I have 4-5 (or *gasp* 6)if I am watching something cool or having Hot Wings or other spicy stuff. Last time I had 6 brews in a sitting was my first test-run of SHINER BOCK.(I better stop teasing Lilith or she'll send the Calzone Golem out to get me.....Ummm Calzone) I remember the days of Mad Dog 20/20 and any other cheap alcohol available. Yuck, I am glad thats over. I can hold my liquor with the best of 'em, but I seem to be getting worse after effects in the last few years. The 6 pack of Shiner in one night was a test to see if it hit me hard in the morning and I must say I had less problems with it then with others. I get tipsy about 1-2 times a month and drunk maybe 2-3 times a year (weddings with open bars, New Years, etc). My taste seems to be more refined lately and I am moving more towards oddity drinks and top-shelf stuff rather than the cheap 30 pack of cans.
I have never been so drunk that I stumbled down the middle of a street and was incoherent even after 10+ beers, a couple shots, and smoking some weed or worse (don't do that anymore. Ever). I have only thrown-up once on some damn Sambuca (still can't stand the smell of Licorice). Guess I got a Con of like 15-16 and made all my saves.
You need to take a few levels in fighter just to get the higher Fort saves;)
Good luck with the hangover.

The lesson I learned this weekend isn't alcohol related, though I've learned plenty of those lessons. I learned that when a young lady says,"Well, maybe you should just forget about me, then." they really want you to say,"Oh, please, dear god, no, let me go back to being your codependent male emotional slave, I take it all back." rather than,"That was the plan, if you would just leave me alone." It's nice having a spine.

Also, you know you're at a good bar/restaurant when they have $1.50 draught beer and they feel it's necessary to say on the menu "No having sex in our restaurant" and charging patrons for having to clean up their vomit outside of the establishment.

I remember you saying something about this on another thread, sorry man, I know it hurt but you WILL feel better and you will definately end up feeling better about yourself.

A spine is one of the hardest things to develope. Emotions, insecurities, conscience, all tend to get in the way of the spinal developement.
Good job, James.

Well, Nermal,
You've certainly started a thread here...

We'll have all the alkies jumping aboard to wax nostalgic about their favourite obscure brews. Where are you, F2K?

Does this mean you'll still be in the doghouse on Thursday? If so, I'd better read up the samurai rules, so we know what you're capable of. I forgot about your '1000-yard stare', or whatever it's called...

I hope you don't have the pink handcuffs on; you and Clive have managed to miss each other every adjacent week for months!


Not sure about thursday should be ok, might be last one before the wedding though.

I am not sure how many units of alcohol I had on saturday, I know that I didnt have any in the restuarant with the meal. I had one Rum+Coke in the first pub. They didnt have any rum in the second pub because thats where all the HUGS roleplayers hang out and they has drank it all, so I had a pint of Jack+Coke (they said 2-3 shots), then one more double before heading to the next bar, another double there. This is where it starts to get hazy, I know we went to The Verve and I had something there, I have a fuzzy memory of The Vox after that, so maybe another drink there. So the total could be around 9-10 shots of rum and/or whisky maybe more I dont know.

I seriously do not recommend that kind of intake for anyone. I used to be able to handle maybe half that over the course of an evening of drinking but not anymore.

I assume you mean the Huddersfield University Gaming Society, and not some reeeaaally friendly gamers that would love to give a scaly old bull a big old HUG...?

I've seen the Perky Goths that hang round Huddersfield; they'd give John Kovalic of Dork Tower something to fantasize about...

There's also the multitude of cute Goth grrrrls who flock round the Corn Exchange in Leeds, who I have to fight my way through to get to Travelling Man games store. Unfortunately they all seem to be with some dopey, lanky, streak of piss; what's with the youth of today? When I was their age, they all wanted guys my age. Now I am my age, they all want dopey, lanky streaks of piss, their own age.... Tchoh!!!

Don't they know that inside every shaven-headed 30-something, there's a raven-haired bishonen guy wanting to burst out? LOL


and this is a side of you I never needed to see O.O

Be glad we never play "Big Eyes, Small Mouth" (manga/anime RPG); my girlfriend has some very weird things in her collection, for me to base a character around...

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid...


Lol; I am with the Ultradan; Hockey is responsible for most of my drinking; maybe it is all the beer commercials

At least you didn't go completely Will Ferrel in Old School and lead a phantom charge down the street naked.

You know, I've been drunk plenty of times and I've never done that. I fail at being a college kid. But, then again, you do that in NYC and they'll just lock you up with some serious felons for a night to remind you to keep your clothes on.

I went to college at a young age and sure enough, wound up naked a good few times more than most. Lots of dares. Lots of pranks. Never due to alcohol, so there goes that excuse.

One time I mooned the commons from the windowed wall of the second floor of a library. Ten minutes later a coed group walked through a coffee shop and, in the melody of slogan, said "the streakah" softly as they walked past. That's when I knew I wasn't sly enough to pull anything off without gaining a reputation as an ambulatory art nude. It was a naked time. What can I say?


The only time I was naked on saturday night was after I got home (with lots of help from Kymbogs).

Prior to that, I have been known to be naked in public. Once I went streaking at a summer festival (round the campsite at night) with a stripper and her sister (yes all three of us were nekkid), my boss is very jealous of me because of this incident.


...o_O

Sounds like you guys had a more interesting weekend than I did. :P


THAT weekend was fun. This weekend just gone, what I remember wasnt fun, so I hope th stuff I dont remember was.

Sczarni

well well, very interesting little thread here.

lessee...drinking too much = bad. period.

i learned that the hard (several) way(s) in college, while performing my thesis on "the variable effects of alcohol on the human male; a comparative analysis"

BUT, i learned that you CAN roleplay in real life.

went out to a party friday, with the notion that i would take on the role of a "successful, confident, self-assured guy" and would ya know it, went home with the girl!

now, that would seem more like a triumph if you knew the over-thinking, self-defeating, fear-based real me.

but through RP (and just a little liquid courage), i found me a new friend!

-the hamster


As much as I like to talk about beer, mead, homebrewing and such, I'm really not much of a drunk.

During the week, I drink about 3-5 beers/drinks total. On the weekend I'll put away 6-8 beers total. Gaming days I'll drink a six pack during a 12 hour gaming session. Last year there was a time when our gaming sessions would go to s&~+ because several of the players were falling down drunk. We've eased off that quite a lot, because everyone agreed they'd rather play D&D than get drunk.

I never really get drunk, just a little buzzed and then it wears off. I don't like the way I feel after I get drunk anymore.

When I was single and tipsy, I was much worse at picking up women. I had a lot more luck sober, although I'm better at the "horizontal arts" when I've had about 3 drinks in 1-2 hours. I know, TMI, TMI....

Things I was gonna say:
Yes, you are.
And you're even better when I'VE had about 3 drinks....
Beer is known to cloud your perception, officer.

I learned that traving from Savannah to Mobile, AL takes about 9 hours one way!!! I learned that if you do not take care of yourself, the results will show. I learned that health isurance can make or break how health problems are delt with. I have learned that if I am ever in as bad shape as my dad is, I want the damn plug pulled! (I am a coward!) ~grumbles~

Sorry everyone. Grumpy person now exiting the forumns!


Luckily since I live in the UK, if I get steaming drunk there is always the NHS to help you out.

And even more luckily they have only had to help me once (I was quite young at the time, it being my 19th birthday).


Closing the Oblivian gate in Kvatch is hard when you are lvl 17


The facts of this story are a bit "R" rated for this board. All I can offer are key words, you will have to draw your own conclusions but I assure you it's probably not what first impressions imply.lol

Public Beach
WAYYYY to much alcohol(beer, liquor, you name it I drank it)
Fat girl
Public urination
disappearing clothing
and plenty of shocked onlookers

again first impressions are not always correct lol


But most importantly I learned my lesson and limit my consumption. Moderation is my new motto.


Hmm...I learned the special sound of rolling real-life Will saves while spending time with a close female friend that I really shouldn't have feelings for, but do anyway. It's kind of a rattle deep in your psyche. Too bad I don't know what my modifier is...


lol, I have been in those situations, and failed far too many of those will-saves. Guess my modify ain't great.


Ooh, my WIL saves come mostly successful.

I get a bad effect from some alcohols, for example whiskey...drinking more than one shot makes me nauseous even if I weren't intoxicated. Give me vodka, beer, ciders, wines or such any day. And there was this one tequila evening, I have never been as sick as there (admittedly I didn't drink only tequila there...sherry and absinth did not help the matter).
Nevertheless, sometimes it feels good to be intoxicated. Even with hangover the next day.

My lesson from last weekend (not exactly a new one, more like a repeated lesson): some people, even relatively normal ones, dislike nudism. Non-alcohol-related even.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

How can anyone dislike nudism? :)


That depends an awful lot on who is nude.

When that temptation comes a-knockin', I have to make a Will save...

Dunno...somehow some people apparently don't like to be naked with strangers. I guess upbringing plays a role, and psychology (some people have problems with bad body image...)

Well, in nudist areas among other naked people. Little proof and not in circulation :) (most nudist areas, beaches, public saunas frown on cameras, understandably).

Really, I can't think why? :)


probably has to do with rights of billing and money and stuff; nobody wants to appear in somebody elses images i would suppose. Surprized no one has related really dumb things they have done or seen due to intoxication other then DWI; I knew a guy personally when I was in the army who was drunk and jumped from a second floor balcony into the pool; only he missed the pool and broke a whole lot of bones in his body; the army gave him and article 15 for damage and misuse of government property and willful negligence. I dont remember that guys name, but it is one of those unforgettable things. I never really figured out why drinking makes some people want to show how brave or tuff they are; doing stuff like that can get you hurt real bad or dead. Never went to a party where people wanted to get nude; never did any beach parties. Guess I just missed out.


Things I have done while drunk

sang loudly
lost my virginity
kissed girls
kissed guys
kissed guys girlfriend (in front of guy)
streaked with stripper and her sister
swapped clothes with a girl
dance on stage in nightclub
sang really loudly
been sick
been taken to hospital for being sick
mooned
howled at moon
ran up a steep hill after putting out friends back (long story)
been unable to remember at least some of the things listed above
and probably some other stuff that I just dont remember and noone has told me about.

Ah, my friends call it "kännissä olet ketterämpi" (= you are more dexterous while drunk) rule, people deciding to try out things they really really shouldn't try...well, the good part is that people who fall down drunk usually are so limp that they break less bones than if they were sober (I wonder if D&D addresses this issue in falling damage rules anywhere...).

I've done some stupid things while drunk but no physical harm to anyone. And loud singing doesn't count, I have done it even while sober (and no, I cannot sing).


yes but this was singing REALLY LOUDLY :)


Heya maggs, can you give us a pronounciation for that; looks like it would sound cool; hehe well, I had a friend in the army who had a picture of me in only my undershorts, smoking a cigarette with a lampshade on my head; lol, I dont smoke and dont remember that at all; used to look at that pic in amazement; they all said I was really funny and in rare form. For those of you new to the drinking scene; think real hard before you get imbibed cause there are a lot more cameras out there and you might end up on the net somewhere. Several of my freinds send me these things in email all the time so take this warning seriously.

Scarab Sages

Man, I didn't learn a damn thing. Well, maybe, if you don't have anything on your stomach, you might not want to have a couple double martinis and play "Medal of Honor". I don't normally get motion sickness on first-person-shooters, but wow, that was kinda altered states...

The Exchange

I learned that my new favorite beer, SHINER BOCK, is some great stuff and that my local liquor store has a version in a Wheat beer. Anyone know if it is any good?
