Long story short, I’m home alone with no car, and a couple bottles of liquor…what do I do? Jello shots and rum ‘n’ coke.

Now comes your job: entertain the drunk guy. (I’m not that drunk, still pretty coherent, but I’ve always been a coherent drunk…)

Is “xgxlx” the sound you make when you’re retching over the toilet?

No…long story with my screenname…it’s basically an abbreviation of xgreenxlanternx. Since green lantern was taken most everywhere, I added the x’s…and then the whole thing became tedious to type, so i shortened it down to xgxlx…and it stuck.

Sorry for the stupid question, but what’s a jello shot?

Jello in little plastic cups with liquor in it.

Jello shots are an awesome way to get drunk if you don’t like the taste of alcohol.

Start by making the jello normally -mixing the contents of the package with boiling water…after sufficiently mixed, instead of adding cold water, add cold alcohol (usually vodka, or everclear, but you could use whatever you want). Pour the stuff in shot glasses (or whatever, it doesn’t exactly matter.) The point of this is they slide down your throat easily without leaving a taste in your mouth. You can do many of them in succesion without having any burning feeling or anything, allowing you to get pretty drunk pretty quickly.

I believe the more appropriate question would be “how much less drunk are you?” Due to the limited quantities of alcohol in here I couldn’t get extremely wasted, and for the most part my mind’s pretty clear (as evidenced by my coherent posts.).

Can this be considered a drunken thread if your posts are coherent? (That might be more of an IMHO question, but eh, it probably kind of belongs here.)

I too am one of those breed of people who’s coherence actually peaks when slightly drunk.

Unfortunately the other side of the hill is rather steep, and posts quickly become “I’m druk! FuCK offffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!11111 wibble”. Not very coherent at all.

The word coherent keeps popping up in here…mostly because I’m using it so much. Geez…am I an annoying drunk? Ok I’m not exactly sure why I’m posting this but hey! why not it’s my thread!

Wasn’t there a famous author who got very drunk regularly?

Also a well known irish singer, (who looks extremely drunk all the time, with missing teeth etc…)

Next time I get ahold of some uh…funky fungi, I’ll have to come here and let you people see how intelligible I am then, but it’s usually in the area of “Holy shit I have no idea what’s going on what am I doing where the hell am I…these walls are really pretty.”

So I just took a piss, and it was pretty well clear save for a slight yellow tinge…I’m going to say that a good 90-95% of the alcohol in my body’s gone. Now how much alcohol did I consume in the first place…I don’t even remember…I dont’ even remeber when I started drinking…damn.

I think that was because it happened a while ago, and the rules here these days are more strictly defined and enforced.
