It was a colleague's birthday party. So the Original Poster may not have been surrounded by people that like or care about them.

My bad, 22. I'm used to thinking friends are there at any given party just because a party's a party in my head. But all the more reason for OP, to not go past his limits at parties.

If you think there's usually friends at parties, you've obviously never been to mine.

Apparently nobody understood my joke.

LOL, jeez. So randoms make up the entirety of your parties?

No. Just people who don't like me. :3

dirt would have been a lot softer of a landing...

I hope you know he means death.

Of course, you know this means war.

Hm, gonna have to go with "no." There's a difference between getting safely drunk and getting so drunk that you have no recollection of smashing your face into the ground so hard you wake up covered in blood.

It's a pain in the ass if the person drinks too much & is too stubborn. Taking care of someone who thinks they know what they're doing even as they're nodding head first to the floor... They're a danger to themselves. If they're violent, they're a danger to others & themselves. Drinking too much is not safe drinking. Even if you're not a danger to yourself or anyone, alcohol poisoning could happen. So drinking more than you can handle is a no no, no matter what you say.

A friend of my mom in his fifties came onto me while intoxicated. Enough said.

Oh yeah! And once my mom's boyfriend said something stupid to her while drunk and she punched him so hard, he fell to the ground.

Flaum, there's a huge difference between getting drunk and blacking out.
