You're a lot more grown up than I was at your age I expect Adam and that really is a very mature response!
Just so you don't think I'm an old fart (I know I am) I remember at 17, my mates 'racing' along the Braunton dual carriageway in Devon, I was passenger in a 1300 Metro and we were somehow passing a mate's asthmatic old 1100 Golf. As we crawled passed, I unclipped my seat belt, climbed out of the Metro onto the roof rack of the Golf and just hung on, we were doing 50-60mph! Both of them were shocked, I was too drunk to really remember even doing it. Kind of stupid, I should have died a hundred times around that period, jumping off cliffs into the sea (I can't swim), riding motorbikes without a helmet and drinking... Oh god did I drink.
Ended up in hospital for the 3rd time after a bottle of vodka to start the evening - mates 19th birthday, we lined up 19 shots of bacardi & coke each and downed them one after the other. He was fine, but I'd already had 3/4 litre neat before I'd even gone out. Ambulance after the internal bleeding started, woke up next afternoon with 5 drip feeds in me. Feeling better after all the medical grade saline, I then went out drinking that night again, but though 'I'll just stick with beers, kid's drinks'. Was doing my party trick, 2 bottles of Bud in the mouth and downed together, very pretty blonde woman of 30 or so came up and started talking to me. 'Wahey' thought I; 'You don't remember me, do you?' she asked. When I gave her the usual 'I meet a lot of girls line' she reminded me she was an A&E nurse and was the one who'd catheterised me the previous night as I was incontinent and pee'ing all over the emergency room of the hospital. Got a proper scolding, not sure whether it did any good but I remember it 20 years later!
Went out on what I thought was a 'proper' drinking session last Saturday in Soho; had 4 bottles of Heineken then went home and watched TV! I'm old and I'm lightweight
