Alcohol enhances your NO experiance....

Yesterday I was presented with the oppertunity to get drunk in my own house, with no adult supervision, and I seized it. You see, I reside with my grandparents, simple God-loving folk who take care of me...so long as I don't bring alcohol within the premises. Needless to say, when i learned they would be going out of town for a couple of days to visit relatives, my mission was clear: purchase some kind of beverage that normally would be verboten, and enjoy myself. I went to my Biology final that morning and felt the need for some "me" time. I proceeded to the local grocery store after a healthy Chinese lunch and purchased my favorite non-beer product, Smirnoff Ice. I went thru the first four in the space of two hours, and brother let me tell you, it's interesting how loud the stereo gets when you're not paying attention....I had the first disc of Subs in the player, and during Blue Monday I decided the neighborhood needed to hear it, so I blasted it up far beyond the usual quieter, gentler volume at which I had to have it, especially late at night. I don't think I've ever danced as drunkenly before. I sobered up long enough to return the rather disappointing "porno" film I had rented earlier (Playboy videos are SOOO much a letdown, but I won't get into that here), and purchase a sub from Subway as dinner. After a few hours I proceeded to drink the final two, and decided to watch Taras Shevchenko for a finale. When I finally finished the second one, I found that not only did I have a headache, but also no desire whatsoever to go to sleep. After a long time trying (and failing) to find anything good to watch, I finally went to sleep, waiting until this morning to get rid of the evidence. I know it's kinda sad to drink alone, but I scrapped my idea of calling all the girls in my little black book (count three, all three of them) and asking them in a drunken stupor to kiss my ass, or thatI loved them, beacuse I'd drive up the phone bill twenty cents. I had fun though, even though I'll probably have some headache today.....

So am I right in deducing they have huge bottles of Smirnoff ice, on your side of the pond? about 33cl over here

Another great story Taboo! I know the feeling. When i used to live with my parents, i did the same on every ocasion i had.As soon as they left the house for some days it was the stereo on 10 , take a hike down the liquorstore and get absolutely wrecked while playing Joy Division and New Order very very loud.I sometimes would open the windows and put the speakers facing the street in the opening, so people passing by could also enjoy what we were enjoying.Nice of us eh! And i must admit, i have been to about 6 NOgigs and i was completely wasted at all 8 of them.And it is not only alcohol that does the trick, you should trey the combination of alc.(beer), marihuana,speed and magic mushrooms! Fucking hell !

Well, I disposed of the evidence earlier this morning, so off the top of my head I can't recall how much there was per bottle. Sorry

Got you there , Beavis

Tabsy, you've got me pissing my pants here, I find it very hard to believe ANYONE could get drunk on 6 Smirnoff Ice! You need some practice lad, and you need it now! I suggest you get your sorry ass on a flight to Glasgow and i'll take you under my wing, we'll have you turned into a fully fledged booze-bag in a thrice!

Any time Jeff, be prepared to die a happy man! I don't know ALL the women, but you don't need to know them to have them!

So is this stuff just some variety of beer? Forgive my ignorance, my drinking habits are kind of in a rut.

...to be honest to all of you...i've listened to the Funk D'Avoid remix of "Someone Like You" after a lot of beers and i feel a bit ashamed to confess that in a semi-drunk state this remix isn't too bad...

I had a somewhat similar experience, Marco.

...so let's get us some more proper drinks mate... ;)

Sounds good to me.

All these talks about drinks have made me thirsty and gave me an idea(hurry, another one please, i'm getting ideas). We should all get together some sunny day and have the greatest drinking contest ever to be seen on this very planet. We might as well invite our 4 heroes to supply us with some decent music.

YES !!!

With your delicious Heineken/Grolsch beer (i love that) or/and some fine Newcastle Brown Ale from our british friends...some good NewOrder tunes...YES...the perfect evening :D ;) :D

Don't forget the stuff made in your country,nice beers too with Reinheitsgebot! Not to mention schnapps!!

You see , drinking brings us all closer together. If only we could make that clear to Osama Bin Laden. (great name for a beerbrewery BTW)

So, while we're having our drinks, guys, how could we let Muffy go past 1,000 without being noticed?

Taboo, I swear to God you're my long lost twin!!

That story made my day, Taboo. Can't remember the exact intoxicant today, but I probably blasted The Jam at very high noise levels just so that the middle-class here in Oregon could feel some of Paul's angst.

Also reminds me of the day I turned 21 and went to the state fair w/some friends. Got incredibly blasted, and to top of the day, we went to the horse races to try and win a lot of the money we had spent that day. We are all staggering along the steps to the grandstand, and turned the corner to our seats, and we run into some relatives from Cali. that I hadn't seen in about 5 years. They just smiled at me knowingly and wished us well on the ponies.

Originally posted by Shug Fucking great timing - My mate Malky has just come round with 24 cans of Tennants Lager (the proper Scottish version) look forward to a few funny comments tonight guys;)

Shug that stuff is fucking horrid. Even worse if its Tennants Super. When I was at Uni many years ago, I was that bored, I dressed up as a Tramp, can of Super in hand and eat some pizza that I found in a bin.

Can't beat a Stella in a can. Labatts is great on tap though. Smirnoff ice is like drinking Sherbet.

Glad to hear it Mate! It ain't a bad mix honestly - quite well done I think

It also seriously depletes your serotonin levels, which are not naturally replenished(according to research) so unless you want to live fast and die young, beware!

Couldn't help but notice the G7 of Pisshead Countries nature of this thread: Scotts, Irish, Yanks, Dutch, Germans, even some Poms (are they admitted?) And I couldn't let it go without a word from the Secretary-General..

So.. hic.. ch-cheers lads..

I'm sure we're much harder drinkers than the yanks DC

I heard, all you antipodeans drink, weak as piss halves.

Relax lads- I didn't mean to threaten your masculinity by implying that you aren't hard drinkers.. I was taking the Michael.

Of course the English drink hard- especially those birds down Essex way.. Made life easy when I was there.

;) ;) ;)

Well Muffy, you should have seen me and my cousin the friday night after the Trade Center attacks, we went bar-hopping in Clemson. I believe I had two or three Smirnoffs, two Rum and Cokes (my personnal fave), and we helped each other finish off a pitcher or Killian Red (best beer imho). I was pretty shit-faced that night, I started talking back to the tv and laughing for no reason.

I should have said I got a pretty good "buzz" going, not that I was drunk. Believe me, after the aforementioned night after the 11thof Sept, I know when I'm drunk

Funny side note: Blue Monday was playing in my head all day yesterday, while I was having a headache. Wonderful to get you thru what seems like a shitty day, I must say

Don;'t get me wrong Shug, when I say it tastes of Sherbet I'm not praising the stuff. I'd rather listen to back to back Dire Straits albums than get pissed on em. The one exception was the original alcopop, Hooch Lemon - used to like a few of those in the summer months.

I always find it funny when you see a couple of big fat meatheads in a pub drinking a poxy 'reef' or the like

Nothing beats gettting drunk and driving while listening to Disorder actaully yes there is getting drunk and playing Disorder to a bunch of 15 year old goths at an underage club who have only heard LWTUA and ask IS THAT THERE NEW SONG????

As I wine drinker, I shall refrain from comment. Lager's fucking horrible though :)
