Somehow, I am not dead.

I think its the fact i did it before going out =/ Also 150 shots is f****** lot (for me!)

Still i actually don't feel all that bad, although i paracetamoled and glucosed up the second i woke up and couldn't remember what happened... That might have helped...

My BBC home page threw up this for me today and I found it a good read and actually agreed with the premise behind it which makes it appear that alcohol vendors are indeed forcing more booze down people's throats.

However this quote made me giggle:

That middle line is hilarious! I know very few people that are completely aware of the amount of units in anything they drink or how they all add up over the night.

In fact, given popular current depictions of how people go out and drink until they fall down (which is not actually that uncommon) I'd be impressed at how many people could spell "alcohol" at the end of a binge night out

In fact, an excerpt from discussing this with Jarp...

Paul / Garp says (08:17):
how many people do you know of actually know how many units are in a pint of beer
Paul / Garp says (08:17):
or  a glass of wine
Paul / Garp says (08:17):
or jd & coke  :p
Dymetrie says (08:17):
I do  :D
Paul / Garp says (08:17):
yeah, but you're a freak  :p

Dock workers 30-odd years ago used to regularly down 30 pints just at lunchtime, and more in the evening, at least according to one doctor...

I'd be flat under the table after a fifth of that! But then I average about 1 pint a month :P

I feel dead...

Note to self - don't drink pretty coloured shots esp when the colours are in layers in the glass... (still not sure what it was either)

I've really hurt my coccyx...ouch
