Ok, got a question. Why didn’t you just go to the bathroom? Do your parents normally wake up everytime someone uses the bathroom in the middle of the night? Is this unheard of in your home? I have teens and if I were to even wake up when someone went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I think it would be safe to assume that they were taking a piss. I don’t feel the need to make sure everything is coming out all right. ---

Give the dude a break. He’s only 18, and he lives with his folks. I know lots of people who drank like that when they were kids, and, oh, only about 70% of them turned out to be alcoholics. Plus, he can’t hear you anyway. In his crowd, this is not deviant behavior. He’ll have to make his own road to AA, 20 years or more down the road, and who knows, he might not even need it. Maybe. ---

Pace yourself, **kgriffey79**. It would really be kind of pathetic to burn out before your 21st birthday. ---

TMI warning, not sure you’d need it on this thread but hey, y’all deserve a chance. For the record **kg** , I am not so far past my teenage years that I can’t recall such things occuring normally. While under the influence, I once pissed in a cat’s litter box with the bathroom less than ten feet away. A friend of mine and I were completely drunk and decided that the deal on beef jerkey at the gas station was so good we had to buy four feet of it. I drank an entire bottle of B & J that night and it looked like someone had been murdered in the bathroom the next day. I know I was kneeling in front of the toilet but I swear there was jerkey on the ceiling. I once vomited at a party while drunk to show emotional support for someone else who was vomiting. Ever done the tripod? That’s when you’re so trashed you can’t stand up and whiz at the same time and have to use your head against the wall for additional support. The final drunken messed up story: I was once so trashed that I urinated on myself while laying down, because it made sense. I swear to God it was somehow sensible not to get up and walk to the bathroom. I actually do not drink much at all anymore(Less than 10 beers a month). ---

God, I had to manually push my jaw back up after reading the OP. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Buck The Diver \* > \*\*Well, you can disregard my question. A peek at your profile reveals that you’re only 18. \*\* Yeah, but he registered almost three years ago. Perhaps he hasn’t updated the profile since then. Also, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he grabbed the Crown Royal to take with him, not to drink on the spot. [wheeze]When I was his age[/wheeze] and booze was hard to come by, it was considered polite to “bring”. Still, though, **kgriffey** I suggest you stop drinking and see if you **can** stop. ---

I don’t care whether you go for AA or not, but you should take a look at yourself and ask if this is how you want your life to be going. If you were a friend of mine, I’d risk the friendship to get you the help you need. Daniel ---

kgriffey79, start wearing a yellow bandana in your right back pocket. 🙂 You will meet lots of new friends that way. But seriously, I don’t really think it is that bad. I remember on one of the last big earthquakes in Mexico City that one of the trapped men talked about drinking his own urine for a week before he was saved. ---

I honestly had to physically close my mouth after reading this post. I find it very hard to believe actually. Anyway… If you came home at 3 something in the morning, drunk, and didn’t wake your parent up, why in the world do you think going to the bathroom would wake them up? ---

Did you get where he filled two entire water bottles with pee before he finally peed in the can? I did my fair share of partying back in the day but never got to that level. Haj ---

You drank urine that was a few days old? And didn’t get the heaves a few hours or so later from some massive infection? Damn. The human immune system is amazing to observe, and I’m glad to know that yours is in such good shape right now. It won’t be if you keep drinking. ---
