Karen Gillan going wild in New york

There was the time that I tried keeping up with a bunch of Australians. Had a great time in the bar, and apparently continued to do so for quite a while afterwards. My memory returns with me sitting on a bus that, miraculously, was heading towards my hotel. No idea how long I'd been on there or how I got there.

ETA: I was fully clothed and not, to my knowledge, whimpering.

You know things are bad if other people see you naked and start whimpering.
 
I also gotta laugh at some of the comments on the article asking for CCTV footage... They do realize the incident was supposed to have happened in New York, right? Does NY have CCTV?

No.
I bet there's plenty of CCTV around, security camera in/on business premises at the very least.

AFAIK, hotels in most American cities have security cams in the elevators and front lobbies. Not sure about the corridors outside the rooms.
 
i've never been drunk.

i don't really drink. i've had precisely 1 pint of a fermented yeast product. Guinness. foul stuff. i've had a couple of alco-pops and when i was a kid, my dad gave me a couple of snifters of different spirits and that basically put me off.

Same here. I got mildly tipsy at a con once years ago, and it was sort of a meh experience. I just don't feel the need to turn myself into a gibbering idiot in order to have fun.

Plus honestly, I can't get past the vile taste. I've always said that the only way I can drink is if its watered down with various mixers. And if I'm going to spend that kind of money, I might as well just get a glass of juice.

That tends to be my viewpoint as well, although I'll have a drink with the gf if she wants to and we aren't planning to go anywhere for a while. I'm much more leery about drinking away from home because getting back can be a trick.
 
Has anyone other than the tabloid The Sun confirmed this story? The Sun seems to be the UK equivalent of "News of the World" in which they have a few bits of true stories, and the rest they just pull stuff out of their arses and call it "news" ...

Although my alcohol consumption is about 20 drinks a year there's nothing foul about Guinness.
 
26 years old

I've never drank before. I just don't see the appeal of it.

Blacking out,throwing up and finding a tattoo of a pair of wings on your back is not something I want.

I'm glad I'm not the only who feels that because I've always felt a little self conscious about being a non-drinker. I know I shouldn't care what stranger think but I always wonder if I'm an alcoholic when the truth is I just don't like the taste. Give me a Coke Zero any day.
 
I very rarely drink and I'm a university student. I do enjoy whisky and coke, but only socially and I never drink enough to get wasted.
 
I have tasted sips, but that's it, and only because I had once said that I could smell and/or taste alcohol in any drink, and a lot of my sister's friends and a couple of mine took that as a challenge to see if I could smell and/or taste alcohol in whatever drink they may be having in my presence. I haven't failed. Usually, just a single drop on the tongue keeps me from even getting a sip, because I cannot STAND the taste of alcohol, nor the smell. Makes me nauseous.

So, 26 here and not a drinker. Besides, me and my roommate have been proving over the last year or so that we can act drunk without drinking a drop. We are that crazy. LOL
 
To the tune of Katy Perry's 'Last Friday Night'

There's a Doctor in my bed,
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Tardis in the swimming pool
I smell like a minibar
Dalek's passed out in the yard
Robots on the barbeque

Is this a hickie or a bruise
Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a black top blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled

Last Friday night
Rory danced on tabletops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
 
Pear cider here, please!


Count me in for some Koppaburg too! Also, for all these teetotalers, last Friday I probably got more hammered than I ever have before, and I remember all of it, and was quite the gentlemen offering up my coat to my lady counterpart in the rain. All this after 5 pints of cider, 2 glasses of a mixer and 2 shots of Whiskey and Jeiger.

It's not so much what you drink as who drinks it. If your a bit of an asshole sober, your gonna be an asshole drunk.
 
Don't know if this happened or not, but I find it hard to believe that multiple guests called her Lady Godiva. That's a reference that I doubt one out of a hundred Americans would get
You'd be wrong.

I remain unconvinced. Less than 1 out of 4 Americans can name 2 of the 9 current members of SCOTUS, more than a third can't point out the continent that contains the Amazon on a map, and only 40% can list the three branches of government, but there's a great repository of Americans with knowledge of 1000 year old stories about Anglo-Saxon tax protestors?

Forgive the hyperbole of my initial post, but the point still stands.
I knew about Lady Godiva riding naked many years before I heard why she did it.
 
ah.. drunk stories.. many of my stories begin.. well last night i went to obannons..

according to one of the bartenders at obannons, which is across the street from campus, I almost got my ass kicked by some frat guys, because I was hitting on their sorority chicks. I don't remember much from that night.. only i spent 30 dollars.

It's not so much what you drink as who drinks it. If your a bit of an asshole sober, your gonna be an asshole drunk.
according to my roommate, i'm much nicer when i'm drunk than when i'm sober.
