Last Thursday, June 15, 2006, was a momentous, momentous day indeed, my friends and compañeros. On that date, four years ago, B. Karel and I became extremely -- some might even say excessively -- inebriated, on a plastic squirt-top bottle of "bai jiu." To tell you the truth, I don't think that I, my alcohol tolerance, or my digestive system have ever been the same since. But goddammit, it was worth it, it was. In commemoration of that day, and also in recognition of the fact that Bar Review (and indeed my Bar Review instructors) is almost certain to drive me to drink or some other type of substance use and abuse, I would like everyone to take a nip from their handy hip flask. (And if you don't have a handy hip flask, then what the hell are you waiting for?!)
Also, in continuing with tradition, I have a question for everyone (as usual, Victorians and those with reputations or future political careers to consider, may feel free to answer anonymously): When was the last time you (if you have ever) passed out from alcohol, what were the circumstances surrounding that passing out, and in the end, was it worth it?

I don't pass out.
I just puke. :)
Posted by: Andrew Ahn at June 22, 2006 4:39 PMas you know, we in the chiang family are the notorious one-shot wonders. the last time i passed out from alcohol was after final exams fall quarter, when i naively consumed 1/3 of a cup of my friend's mystery punch--which he, in his cute thai accent, promised contained nothing more than "wodka and kool-aid". i then spent the next hour or so sitting on the couch watching a movie with some friends, and then, after being pretty sure i had sobered up, got up to say hi to someone and was suddenly overtaken by intense nausea.
the next thing i knew i was lying on the floor with a lot of people crowded over me in worried interest, so i (in my flustered state) hopped right back up and gave everyone a round of drunken high fives to prove that i was a'okay.
at the time, it was humiliating. in retrospect, TOTALLY worth it.
