With my ER trip, last thing I remember is that I was by no means sober, but I was chatting and barely slurring my words. But on top of all the alcohol I had already drank, I put down most of a fifth of cheap vodka in the span of like 20 minutes. So next thing I know I'm waking up in the ER with a fucking respirator down my throat, since apparently my breathing had become dangerously shallow. I don't know if you've ever been on a respirator, but it feels like you're suffocating since it's breathing for you, so I freaked and pulled it out, which hurt like a son of a bitch and I was hoarse for like a week afterwards. Definitely the dumbest shit I've ever done.
Gin is awful. And ouzo is absolutely vile - I know a kid who carries the shit around in a flask, and I've learned to just say no when he offers it. Ouzo's meaner, cleaner Colombian brother is aguardiente, which is unavoidable at family gatherings, but I hate the stuff.
@Reckless, in my experience police officers are for the most part basically former high school jocks on a power trip. Law enforcement attracts people who get off on having authority over others. You have to enforce all these laws that punish nonviolent people, and have to reach of quota of other silly infractions that exist solely to generate revenue. I mean, look at the situation in NYC that went to court recently, with cops planting drugs on people so they could meet their quota for drug arrests. That is knowingly throwing people in jail and giving them a criminal record for absolutely nothing. I can't imagine how heartless you'd have to be to do that shit. Also, there was a judge ruling in Connecticut that said that the police could legally bar high scores on the police exam with the reasoning that if you're too smart, you'll get bored with the job and leave soon after training. The guy involved in the court case had been rejected for getting a score that corresponded with an IQ of 125. The whole system is fucked.
I'm fucking pissed at Chicago police because I was arrested a month ago for shoplifting $20 worth of booze, and this turned into a 10+ hour ordeal. I spent 3 hours handcuffed to a bench at one police station where they put away my shit, and then sent to another police station where I spent at 5+ hours in a holding cell. I was let out after 2 AM without a cell phone, so I called a cab company from the station, and then waited outside for like an hour waiting for a taxi in a sketch area of Chicago (west of Washington Park, if anyone's familiar with the area). All the cops were total assholes, the worst being the female cop who cuffed me tight enough to leave bruises on my wrists. I guess female cops feel compelled to be extra uncompromising in order to be taken seriously, but come on.
The supermarket workers did do me the favor of flushing some drugs I had before the cops showed up. Thank god for small favors.
EDIT: Haha, sorry for contributing to the TL;DR-ness on here...
