yeah, how about knowing your own limits.........and if you dont know your own limits, dont push it. nobody thinks about alcohol poisoning until it actually happens to someone they know.......but youre well on your way! there really are lots of other ways to have fun without drinking a drop of alcohol.........
Your funniest post ever: Xeno, are you sure you're not still drunk? m_cable, you took my post. Anyway, I can't believe people are advising "just don't get caught more often" and "it's OK... you won't be given a citation...". If you're drinking this much, you shouldn't be in school. I second Manny's post. Please, people... lay OFF the alcohol, period.
That was nice of you not to give him more vodka after he threw up in the stair case, the rug and clogged your sink with vomit.
his name is spelled Jesus, you know, a lot of people of Spanish origins have that name, its not pronouced Jesus, but more like Heyseus phonetically in English. it wasnt in my dorm so i can care less about the vomit and what not, my RA was just like dont get caught again, they let first timers off easy so, just gota be careful next time.
We know how his name is pronounced dude. Its funny reading it. I went to a Catholic School in Jr. High. We had a hispanic guy named Jesus in our class. This old nun from Ireland who taught us refused to spell his name "Jesus".
like others have said. Drink beer when you are playing games. Seriously, if you are inexperienced drinking....Hard alcohol is the worst thing you can drink. You'll keep drinking it thinking I'm fine....but it will eventually catch up and hit you like an 18 wheeler. Seriously...drink beer.
pgabriel, so how did SHE spell it? Xino, It's funny you have to say "it's not pronounced 'Jesus'," although you don't write the phonetic, you still write it "Jesus". You probably should have typed: "It's not pronounced jee-suhs". That would have helped. I bet you it IS pronounced Jesus. Here's another story: When I came to the Unite' Stays, I didn't know ANY english at all. My cousins took me to their church, a baptist church. Through the whole sermon (being Catholic, I call it sermon), I kept hearing Cheese-us... cheese-us this... cheese-us that... cheese-us so and so... then we got out of the service. In Spanish, i asked my cousins, "so when are we going to get the cheeses?" "What Cheeses?" they asked. "You know, the ones the priest said... CHEESES?" "OOooOooohhhh... he said JEEE-zuhs, not Cheese-us!"
People make mistakes. There are people who have drunk more in college and not get caught. It sounded like Xeno learned his lesson and won't being doing anything as stupid again. If you're a bio student, Xeno, you shouldn't be wasting your brain cells that way....
If these guys had "known when to say when", they wouldn't have gotten caught. Instead, here they were, taking several shots in a row, people were getting sick... and they were still drinking. That's where you get to the point where you make a complete drunken a$$ of yourself, not that you may even remember it. That's when you cause enough disturbance that they come looking for you. I also don't understand what's so "relaxing" about getting that drunk. There's a lesson in here: have a limit and stick to it. Also, try to think of something to do with your evenings other than just "let's drink a bunch of alcohol and see what happens".
You'll eventually learn. Maybe not after this incident, but someday you will do something so stupid that you will realize getting so incredibly black-out is just not worth it. I'm speaking from experience and from seeing the things that go on around in Gainesville...and I'm not some old foagie trying to lecture if that's what you are thinking - I'm a senior in college. A few of the great things I've done while drinking (all of which I don't remember): Punched next door neighbor in the face. Pushed 2 of my roommates down our apartment stairs. Ruined my phone in a pool. Threw up in my bed while asleep. Threw up on my floor. (different occassions). Made-out and fondled a girl's boobies in the middle of the living room. This may sound awesome, but the girl weighed at least 2x what I did. Lost my fleece jacket. Lost a nice button up shirt. Passed out on apartment stairs outside. Tried to walk home from a party about 15 minutes from my apartment...proceeded to get lost on campus and pass out in some field. (I may have pissed myself while walking home too, the jury is still out on that one). Made out with girls on multiple occassions (isn't all that fun if you don't remember it ever happening). Punched one of my best friends in the mouth and split his lip. And most recently, which some of you may remember from its very own thread: Got very wasted, passed out throwing up in the bathroom, woke up 3 quarters into a huge home football game and learned that I sold my ticket while I was wasted for a measly 7 bucks (tickets were being scalped for well over 100 dollars). Among all those I have seen just as bad, and worse, things happen to friends and to people I did not know. One friend got a DUI this past year, had to pull out of school, and is now living at home for this year. Luckily, I was never that stupid. I've definitely learned that you don't need to get wasted to have a fun time. If you can get a nice lil buzz going on you will be a lot more social and have a lot more fun, believe me. Nobody thinks the stumbling, obnoxious drunk is attractive. Hopefully, I haven't made too much of an ass out of myself with this thread.
You sound like such a great, stand-up guy. With the rolleyes smiley aside, at least it sounds like you have learned from your experiences of acting like an *******.
Again, it's the violence that gets me. To me, there really isn't an excuse but then again I hate being a judge of someone. Do you remember what you were thinking? Were you having an argument or were they trying to help you out while you were wasted or what?
See, that was the misconception I didn't want to perpetuate, but I knew it would happen. Just because I've done a some dumb things a few of the times I've gotten drunk does not make me a bad guy. Not to mention the only "*******" behavior were the violent actions - which on both counts there are rational explanations for (though I'm still surprised I was pushed to that limit because I am normally a "happy drunk" and in no way a violent person while sober). I'm actually quite the opposite. Too concerned about health/fitness to drink now, always buried in the books (and bbs!) - graduating Summa c*m Laude from a top 50 university and headed to law school. Come to think of it, maybe I should be more of an ******* - I heard they make great lawyers .
