I saw this on cbc.ca. Guess he paid the price for his stupidity.

I would make the obvious comment about how these celebrations of public drunkenness are all stupid, but no doubt some alcoholic apologist would come in here to say I should be more sensitive to drunks.

Drunks are funny when they wear garbage cans on their heads and pretend to be R2D2. When they get sulky, violent, and just plain dumb it's no longer funny, it sucks having to deal with the idiots.

Here at MSU in New Jersey something similar happened. The scary thing is the kid was in my public speaking class and he had actually been in a group with me for a project. Then during the winter break after a party he was found frozen to death right outside his own house. We were never really friends and had just chatted but it still seems impossible to grasp that he really is dead.

Or when you have to carry them out of someone else's bed becuase they're vomiting all through it and they won't wake up. Not to mention they weigh that much it takes a few of us to move him.

I resent that, most of my friends are drunks and believe me you get a lot of mileage out of it when they ask you to speak at major events like weddings, engagements and birthdays ... the fun part is when you pull out the pictures.

One cool public celebration is for a drunk to get coaxed into dancing on a bar, then have him jump off and fuck up his knee, necessitating surgery! WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!

-20 C all night long? Shit, the guy must have been frozen solid! Poor drunk bastard.

Yes, personal experience. My recent surgery was necessitated by such a stunt. Do not try that at home.

Why would someone do that? It is their fault.

When my dad was a youngster, he came pretty damn near to freezing to death himself at a bush party. His friends found him passed out in a snowbank, but they were able to revive him thanks to a nearby bon-fire.

There was a long thread about it. It's the one about the drunken dad getting his eleven year old to drive him home from the bar.

That being said, has anyone noticed how Darwin Awards so often come about after heavy drinking?

I don't know about other's, but whenever I have been drunk, I seem capable of thinking and acting just perfecting fine. I experience the loss of coordination but that's about it. What I don't understand is how do people get to the point where they don't lose their sense of judgement. I've been completely wasted before and I still can act and think perfectly fine.

Is it just me?

Everyone reacts differently to alcohol.

That is a shitty way to die.

As for drinking, If you are bright enough to know your limits and how you react to alcohol you're fine, if not, you shouldn't drink, that's where the stupidity is.

I've gotten fucked up only 3 times in the last 6 years, and by that I mean puking my guts up. The last time was last summer at an SCA event (4 games of Tablero in 3 hours and a bunch of random booze interspersed in that time added up to about 14-16 beers and a shot of who-knows-what.), I got blasted, went stumbling around the grounds at 2am looking at the shiny things in the sky, heard a security radio go off, and bolted for my tent without a problem. Everyone reacts differently, that's what makes alcohol fun and dangerous.
