Urgh, this is what I hate about PD.com, it is the only site in existence where a perfectly good spam thread can be misused for high quality discussions.  I hate you all.

Everclear makes me grab women's boobs in the kitchen and throw-down in the street with my sister-in-law.

Damn, that was one shitty New Year's.

Strong rum? Like 100 proof? 12 ounces of that would almost certainly kill me.


Yeah, I referred to that as strong.  I was a fan of 151 when I was younger and dumber, and the effects of a 5th on one person would likely be fatal.  Everclear is even worse.

I don't touch anything stronger than 80 proof except for cooking because I'm not experienced with it and have no way to gauge how fucked up I'll get.

Yeah, I referred to that as strong.  I was a fan of 151 when I was younger and dumber, and the effects of a 5th on one person would likely be fatal.  Everclear is even worse.

I don't touch anything stronger than 80 proof except for cooking because I'm not experienced with it and have no way to gauge how fucked up I'll get.

80 proof is good enough.  100 proof is just silly...I only like it for the "mouthfull of burning fishhooks" effect...But I typically only have one or two drinks.

151 is ass.  I tried forever to mask the taste of it in jungle juice one year and that's how I ended up pregnant the second time and my brother's wife got twins out of it.

...another New Year's but this one was way better...

Why would you mask the taste?

Triple Zero

A few years ago, one of these oldskool fraternity-style student associations had a bit of a mess up with an "initiation" thing. The guy had to drink 700ml (0.185 gallon) of "jenever", which is basically vodka*, 40% ABV (that's 80 proof, right?) ... You can only survive that if you puke it out. Except they stuffed him in the trunk of a car, and he got an epileptic fit and suffocated in his own vomit! :x

Big scandal, they banned alcohol during all introduction activities for all student associations in the city and set up a special (university-based) overseeing committee, everybody has to hand them the program for introduction activities (the ones from my old student association were just zany, harmless and fun. I wouldn't have joined the club if it had any sort of hazing whatsoever).

Of course this didn't work, because hazing rituals is something that gets hardcoded into monkey-tribes, and you pretty much can't ever get it out.

So a few years later, some guy had to drink water during a drinking game (the senior dudes could still have beer), he ended up having to drink 5 liters, got kidney failure, spent a couple of days in the hospital, part of which in a coma.

This year fresh people got sleep deprivation (officially the committee requires at least 6h/day, but I doubt that was the case), mental and physical exhaustion, and were forced to play cards all night, then were asked to do something "to impress the club". It was somewhere out of town in a rented thingy, and half-dazed one of the guys said "set me on fire!", another fresh guy took a bottle of lamp oil, third one lit it. 2nd and 3rd degree burns! And for some insane reason they didn't get him to a doctor until 24 hours later! W00T LAWSUIT even though the burned guy didn't want to press charges on the others, his parents still did ...

Ahhhhh MONKEYS

(just FYI, the student club I was a member of wasn't ANYTHING like this)

:lulz: Ouch! Not my favorite sensation, I confess.

Another reason I avoid it is my heart already pulls shenanigans... I don't think "abruptly being catastrophically drunk" is a good move to pull. I had some accidental experiences with that a couple years ago when I was temporarily on OCD meds, and nobody told me about the "delay & dump" effect they can have on your body's alcohol processing. It wasn't in the warning sheet AT ALL. So I was three drinks into my evening, not feeling even the slightest buzz, and suddenly all three drinks hit me at once. I couldn't stand up and my heart was all kinds of stop & go; I had to go lie down until someone could take me home.

Yeah, the college I went to had problems, I mean SEVERE problems, with hazing and alcohol.  It's why a lot of campuses went dry.
