Oh. My. God--What have I done?

I've read that the champagne bubbles tend to break up some sort of mucus lining in the stomach, so the alcohol can be absorbed more readily. I don't know if beer does this as well, but beer foam isn't very "wet" if you know what I mean. I personally remember drinking large amounts of hard liquor, and not getting very drunk until I then drank some beer.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

How in blazes did you manage to get drunk on champagne?!

How'd I get drunk on champagne? Easy. Let's have a look:

I don't normally drink (rare occasion only)
I drank 3 full large plastic cups of champagne
I did it in 30 minutes
I weigh only 115 lbs (52 kg).

I had a bad night, New Years Eye. I couldn't feel my arms, I could ever-so-slightly see, I was hyperventilating and in between that I was vomiting a lot. And then later coughing up blood...

Did I mention those things already? I don't remember.

Here's hoping you've learnt something recently and that we won't see you posting the full names (and ages) of the girls you meet. :P

Any reason why 18?
I don't make the cosmic laws, I just live by them!

Actually, sexually and marriage wise, the age is 16. By law, a person can consent to have intercourse at 16 and if the parent tries to press rape charges but the girl/boy says they consented the charges are thrown out. Now for marriage, the 16 year old need to have parents signature and approval to get married. The law as written has to many loops and holes in it.

In every case I've seen where a minor has sex with an adult, the adult gets sent to jail( even if the "adult" is only 18 themselves).

Well I did say that there a loops and holes in the law. But the law is that if the 16 year old consents to sex then it is legal and not rape. Otherwise it is rape and molestation.

Statutory Rape. The law is not as black and white as you seem to believe.

Which, BTW, is stupid IMO. If at 16 you're too young to decide if you want to have sex with someone, how the hell do you get to drive a car? I mean, if answering a simple yes/no question is beyond you, in what way are you qualified to operate a machine that kills millions of people every year!?

See, that's the part I don't understand. I can't drink three glasses of wine in half an hour - drinking wine so rapidly makes it taste horrible. Well, I suppose I could thrown it to the back of my throat and swallow without tasting, but there's no real point in doing that unless you want to get drunk (which is really the only reason to drink wine at that rate).
Also, champagne from plastic cups? You deserve what you got for that sin alone! :P ;)

It was New Years Eve and thanks to one of my friends, all of our plans were going downhill fast. 15 minutes before the New Year and it was just getting awkward, so I think, "To hell with you guys, I'm at least getting something out of it." After the first cup I was drunk, the second one I couldn't taste, and the third one I felt too drunk to finish with about an inch left. But being raised to finish what's on my plate, I down the last bit. In retrospect, I probably could have been trashed off just one cup...

I had such a horrible hangover only once in my life, but that was nearly a litre of vodka. And the only bad thing I felt was nausea. After that I limit my New Years Eve to a mere bottle of good champagne.

I'd advise you all to stay away of those cheap high-voltage beers in big bottles. I bet they have loads of congeners, speaking from my experience. You have one, they're fine, two make sick even me.

I'm sorry but... That after 3 cups of cham-paggen? haha :D

I had something in the order of 10 drinks last night (i can't be sure at all). Quite little, come to think of it..

Saturday is amateur's night and pro's on sunday, but students can drink any night they want. :)

There's nothing cool about being able to drink more. It just means you've done more damage to your organs over the years.

I never said it's cool. It's just easier to have a good time without drinking yourself incapacitated. :)

It's cheaper if you don't need to drink much though. ;)

Champagne can actually go to your head rather more quickly than normal wine does. Still, if you drink wine rapidly enough to become dizzy of one glass, you're wasting it completely (ie, not enjoying it).

All those brain cells will die in vain if you drink wine. To give them a glorious death, consume Jägermeister.

You don't deserve my sig.

Jägermeister is for sissies. Drink Gammeldansk!

Drink whatever you like, just be sure to do it through the eye rather than the inefficient mouth/stomach!
