njordsifusansooThings I learned on Thursday
1)Irish Carbombs (the drink) are rather tasty
2)Irish Carbombs take a little while before taking full effect
3)Don't have two Irish Carbombs in a row after already having 3ish beers
I got myself wasted in L.A. on Thursday night (which was o so fun since I drove back to AZ Friday morning). I was at the post-conference party for the Guerilla Studio. They had a free bar. 1st thing I did was get a Guiness (since it had been so long since I last had one), and downed it. Wasn't quite a chug (which is hard to do with Guiness), more like a continous drinking at a rate where I could still breathe through my nose (still downed it in about 10 secs). Then I had some amber ale. Then I got about halfway through another amber before I could get some food. Snakced a little while finishing that one amber and starting on another. I'm now at the, if I stand up, I will be tipsy stage. This is when I order my first Irish Carbomb ever. For those who don't know, its basically a Guiness (not a full glass) with a shot of Bailys (given in a small shotglass you actually put in the glass of Guiness). The correct way to drink it is to inhale it in about 1 gulp. I really liked it, so decided to order another one (depsite the people I was sitting with calling me crazy). By the time the waiter came back around, I was starting to swim in my head. I ordered another one. I noticed I was starting to numb when the waiter high-fived me for ordering a second one. The second one was also good. I am noticing that I am having major problems tracking people's conversations (normally I can easily track 3+ conversations at once, but now I was having problems tracking jsut one. Then the second carbomb starting to really take effect. I realized I was completely wasted. I knew I could not finish that amber I started earlier else I would hurl. This is about when I ordered some water so I could sober up enough to stand. Finished the water, then got a ride back to the hotel.
O yea, I'm glad I learned to have and maintain conscious control while in a dream (because the drunken stupor is very much a dream state). My ride would of taken me to the wrong hotel if I didn't catch her missing the turn to mine. She thought I was at the Wilshire Grand, where some of the Guerillas were at, when I was at the Millinium Biltmore.
That was a fun night. Now don't let me do that ever again (the morning after sucked, even with me avoiding a hangover).
