OK you drinkers, another poster brought up a VERY SERIOUS point about puking which I forgot to mention. NEVER NEVER NEVER go to bed if you think you may puke or are not sure if you will. Always stay up until you are sure not to puke. When you do go to bed after drinking significantly, lay on your side and do not lay on your back.

MANY people die each year from choking on their own vomit. It happens quickly and easily to someone who is drunk and asleep.

My own shame is to admit that I almost bought The Big One after heavy college drinking one night. I broke my own rule about sleeping before sobering up and if it was not for the fast action of a good friend, I would have choked on my own vomit.

Drinking can be fun, but being alive is more fun.



On that note, if you are at a party and all the lightweights start passing out, make sure you at least put them on their sides. But good advice, it's never a good idea to go to sleep when you are piss drunk, and if you do, lay on your side.
