if coworker.age = 21 then

DRUNK POST!!!!

wow.. I'm messed up.. but not as much as my coworker who just turned 21. Gesani doesn't know what he's missing by going to one of his friend's parties instead of being here!!

My coworker just turned 21 today, and has had his first taste of booze. wow this is hillarious.

I've been laughing my ass off at him for the past hour or 3. He's beyond screwed up.. and we're recording it and it's being broadcast on Gesani's mypsace (we think). If only the audio was working...


We were watching Cars, but I think my fellow geek's antics have stolen the show..

The morning is going to be interesting.

Was I alone in thinking "awh, that's so sad" (in a genuine sympathetic, non mocking, way) when I first read that?

it's weird to think that in america, it's quite common for kids/adults to wait til their 21st birthday before they let alcohol pass their lips.

me? I wasn't even 12 when I first got pissed.

Warp might have been 12 at the time, his life's just been a drunken blur for so long it's hard for him to remember...

I remember getting lightly toasted at a family wedding on the Buck's Fizz that not many people liked... and trying someone's Guinness and not liking it... I think I was either 8 or 9.

Didn't really touch booze until the tail end of secondary school after that, having discovered cider. Worked out limits quite quickly. In fact, I can still probably count on both hands the times I'd consider I've been really drunk.

Those are just the times you can remember though...

Pretty much the exact opposite...

Yeh, I had the odd small glass of cider when a nipper... then I think it was 16/17. I tend to get fairly sloshed when I do go out, but I don't get hangovers, and I've only been sick once, so I guess I know my limits too.

I never get hangovers either. And the advantage of working Sunday night is that It's actually in my best interest not to get up till three in the afternoon...

I tend to throw up as a matter of course shortly after getting home these days... it might be something to do with eating shortly before the whole getting hammered thing... fortunately it has the wonderful side effect of getting most of the alcohol out of my system, meaning I can be quite disgustingly cheerful in the morning.

I'm fairly likely to be sick if I get insanely drunk, though thankfully it's a rare occurance.

It helps I tend not to drink towards the end of the night as the crazed drunken dancing bug takes hold.

I'm more of an alcopops person, which sort-of words... the taste sort of gets to you after 6 or 7, which is about the right point for me to stop drinking (I tend not to eat full stop unless I can help it, and I'm happy to be a lightweight - never seen the point of going out and spending £30 to get pissed - why bother when I can manage it on a tenner?).

Anyone else start out "proper" drinking with Hooch? Or am I the only one who remembers that sickly stuff?

I tend to suffer with memory loss these days... It's a bit disconcerting, to be honest. Went out Friday night, blew £40, got home on the beer scooter and woke up Saturday very cheerful and hangover free... Tis strange.

I'm a Smirnoff Ice man, which I suppose counts as a alco-pop. I only drink pints when I'm having one or two.

Tried a sip of one when they were all the rage... I don't mind fruit juice and spirits, mixed well, but Hooch had an artificial citric acid taste to it.

What were the ones that came in bottles shaped like lightbulbs called?

I never tried Hooch... Alcoholic lemonade is how it was described to me, and that never appealed. Bottles shaped like lightbulbs? Before my time, that is.
