h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

and anyone'd think I'd been already imbibing looking back at my previous post and the typos

Slippery Nipples are very, very nice.

Sweet alcohol is an abomination. It's plenty enough tasty as it is.

One of my most drunken moments was caused by a german drink that has icecream in it. Plus large quantities of alcohol, obviously.

But I remember most of that evening, I didn't do anything too embarassing.

My worst alcohol embarassment was being sick on Greenwich station at about 18:00 after a day's wine tasting.

It was the white port wot did it.

I can still remember it though - the look of pity and disgust on the faces of the others on the platform... Not a good moment.

The first time I got sick was when I was relatively young. A group of us were in a sports event in a strange city and someone asked someone older to buy us something to drink. In a flash of brilliance or a cruel choice our benefactor used our combined money to purchace the rather vile antipodean elixer "Emu 999". Since then I have only been sick when I have made myself sick by sticking fingers down my throat. That was my brother in law's suggestion when I showed up drunk on my 21st birthday for a dinner my sister had made.

As to my memory after the fact, it all seems to come back eventually. Generally when I get too drunk I tend just to fall asleep, which is not a bad thing unless you are somehow potentially in danger. Darwin award stuff, really.

Alas - I remember with fearful clarity what has occured the night before - though on one occasion I woke up to find I was in bed - naked, excpt for boots. My jeans were in pieces on the floor.

No idea.

Woke up in girlfriend´s bed, sixty miles from where I had started the binge. She never explained.

I can't drink enough to get memory loss. I'm tiddly after less than a pint these days.

For some reason I'm terrible with faces when drunk. If I meet someone new while drunk, I could tell you the next day everything we talked about. I couldn't pick them out of a line up though.

After tasting the RL version of at the Manchester Meet, I stuck to my old trusty G&Ts - those never make me feel hung over the next day, and they've never caused memory loss - so far...

Ti

Could it be you just don't remember G&T's causing loss of memory

Pffftt! The only memory trouble I experience is the same as when I'm sober - names of people, regardless of if it's their online names or RL names. Happens to me so often I'd like to have a condition specified as 'namelexia'.

Ooops

Unfortunately I always seem to remember posting something stupid here when I've had a few too menay. Pity it is always in the morning. Another reason I shouldn't be posting at 12:00 PM here when it is 8:00 AM there.

One too many.

No I haven't.

Later, perhaps.

Same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?

Same procedure as every year, James *didn't even need to check the video for that one, it runs on TV every New Year's Eve in Sweden*

I used to worry a lot about making an arse of myself when I was pretty young. I could pretty much remember everything that happened, bar a few rather hazy details. Then one day I wondered what I was so worried about. Since that day, I tend not to remember much.

Everything between July 1983 and January 1997 is either very hazy, or missing entirely

Ah vodka, why didn't Barry Manilow sing of you?

He did. Try to remember.
