ggban has had 37 drinks...now what? [Archive]

bicyclekick

He drank 37 drinks over a period of about 12 hours and he just stumbled back to our hotel room.

When I left himn at the cardroom at 29 3 and a half hours ago he actually appeared not drunk really like he could talk/stand up stragiht, but now he's actin totally f'd up and I dragged him into the bathroom to puke but he's been refusing to and says he feels great but v drunk. Now he just laid down for 15 minutes he claims...

37 is freakin ridiculous and I don't want him dieing or some [censored]. It's 1045 and his flight is at 1...there's no way they're going to allow him in this shape to fly..esp considering he's 18 or 19.

Not really sure what to do with the guy...?

11-07-2005, 02:54 PM

this situation is going to get worse before it gets better. call the airline, and see if you can push back his flight. they should do this for a small fee. then draw all over his face with a permenant marker. he'll be able to mostly wash it off, but he'll have to get on a plane with the faint outline of a cockandballs on his face

Postpone your flight too if possible.

When he sobers up, tell him how pissed off you are. He pays for both the flight delays, and room charge. And if he's a half-decent guy he will buy you a bottle of whiskey too as an apology.

edit - that or just walk out. Depends on how much you like each other.

2nd time I've met the guy. I'm not worried about money in this situation at all. He's a good guy and not gonna screw me on anything like that, and even if he did big woop...it's just that I don't know him at all so I know less what to do you know?

2 things I want:
-him not to die or some [censored]
-not miss/delay my flight

gabe's a good guy but not like a close friend of mine or something. I told him to quit drinkin a milion times earlier and he wouldn't listen so it's like meh what can I really do.

[/ QUOTE ]Flights at 1? When is your flight? At the very least, his irresponsible ass will have to go with you. Or you just pay for an extra night in the room and leave him there. You shouldn't miss your flight unles it's no big deal.

Physically, he'll be fine and if he is 19 he needs to learn to deal with this stuff himself.

This may sound evil but its worked when i've been in a situation like this. Find some crackers and force feed them to him, making sure he's at least coherent enough to eat them.(edit to note: by force feed, i mean literally use whatever reasonable force you have to make him eat them.) There's a pretty decent chance that this will shortly induce vomiting. At that point, lots of water.

I think you should definitely make him some bread. If you're staying anywhere decent, the hotel should probably have a breadmaker. If not, I'm sure there's a Williams-Sonoma closeby.

The only thing I have to add, which you may not know, is that Gabe has a midterm Tues too... So if you do try to find him a new flight hope he's coherent enough to remember what time his midterm is, or to email the professor today about him missing it tomorrow, or get him back to Massoftwoshits in time for it (late night flight tonight or ...

Sucky situation bro, I guess you guys must have went to Brian's bachelor party last night.

i dont think hes gonna die...when ur drunk u lose count of ur drinks somewhere along the line...im not saying hes not drunk outta his mind...but i doubt hes in danger

try and get him up and going...if u cant fluff his pillow...leave him a note so hes not confused as hell when he wakes up....set a drink of water by him and catch ur flight

This is what I'd do. Make sure he's physically safe and then get going. He's the one that got himself into this. He can get out of it.

And stop with the bread suggestions. The alcohol is into the bloodstream by now and he can eat bread till he pukes it isn't going to help with the alcohol situation. It's gonna take 10+ hours for him to get it out of his system and no amount of bread will help that.

If the guy is talking and can respond to bicyclekick waking him up by saying "get the [censored] up dude" with "leave me alone" he is fine.

Just make sure he doesn't choke if he throws up, and let him know he will miss his flight. If he's ok with the latter part, just leave him be.

Call the front desk and book the room for an extra night. Go catch your flight. Get a hooker card from the cabbie taking you to the airport. Order a redhead and brunette for 4PM. This way they can make sure your buddy is still alive. You also get the added bonus of his total confusion when the girls show up and start performing.

Bonus points if you can script the girls into making him believe that he 'hooked up' with them last night and he told them to come by his room later today.

Nah man. It isn't like that. I'm assuming kid had a [censored] ton of liquor. If this isn't the case and he's just drunk/sleeping it off, then good. If he really did have 30 or so drinks, weird [censored] can happen.

I'm not saying sit there staring at him, I'm just saying make sure he's going to sleep it off and not choke on his own vomit. At the very least call and get his flight moved back.

Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter, because if it *were* one of my friends, I'd be just as [censored] up as he was /images/graemlins/grin.gif so it wouldn't matter.

Don't do anything that could weigh on your mind if the worst wuld happen. Calling him an ambulance and hitting your own flight is the safest (from your perspective) thing to do. If he misses his midterm he will have an emergency room reciept to show for it which should help him to get a makeup. (this should also work on the airline).
The two dangers are him choking on his own vomit, and him bashing his head when he staggars around the bathroom drunk, or extremly dehydrated.

simple answer

call and reschedule his flight
call the desk and book the room an extra night

then

if you dont have any pressing matters at home, suck it up and change YOUR flight (at his expense, whether or not you can afford it is irrelevnet)

or

pay a 2+2er to watch him for the next 6 hours. wake him up after 3 hours and force him to drink a lot of water, then again after another 3. again, ggban pays for this.

do NOT inform the casion like someone suggested. they will call the police who will then take him to a hospital.

He passed out in my room the saturday before Halloween after he drank a crazy amount of beer and vodka. He is a big guy, he will make it through. He feel asleep with his shoes on so we drew a big cock on his face. He somehow got back to his room the next morning with out knowing how he ended up there. He came back the next day with one of our blankets that he stole. Classic! I just tried to call him but his phone is off. I hope everything worked out ok...

So a freshman made a mistake and drank more than he could handle. I know when I was a freshman I did this almost once a week....He will obviously live an learn. This doesnt mean that in other aspects of life he isnt far beyond his years.

just so EVERYONE knows...gabe woke up...said "Peachys a bitch"...then a few later told brian he could make it...brian took him downstrairs with him and at one point lost sight of him...

so....its assumed that he got his cab and is on the way to the airport...i just hope they can wake him back up after his flight LANDS and he doesnt drool all over the person next to him /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

That's assuming they let him board at all. 37 drinks over 2 hours is a lot. Don't think I met ggb this weekend, have no idea how big he is or what kind of tolerance he has, but if he REALLY drank 37 drinks, I can't imagine he's in any kind of condition to clear security. But I don't fly a lot so I'm just guessing.

I'd have just pushed his flight back to late tonight and hopefully someone else could watch him for a few hours at a time. On the other hand, if 37 drinks is really more like low 20s + exaggeration then he might be fine to fly by the time they get there.

Either way, there's really no need for bk to miss his flight, there's other options here. And calling the hotel and/or ambulance on an underager is not a good plan. People can keep an eye on him and if he's vomiting a lot or he has a harder time responding then sure, but most of the time he should be okay if he sleeps it off with someone keeping an eye on him.

Sorry to hear the weekend ended rough bk. Hope you both make your flights and ggb turns out alright.

dude, it has nothing to do with drinking more than he could handle. its WHEN he did it, and the position he put somebody else in. did you not read the post BK made? HE HAS A UNDERAGE kid smashed in his hotel room, today is checkout day and has a flight to catch. i don't care if the kid can read a Latin dictionary upside down while 4 tabling the party 30/60, he is not mature beyond his years. hes a normal, shortsighted and selfish teenage kid.

mature beyond his years would have been planning ahead for this and not having somebody else clean up after you.

dont take my joke about reading upside down to task. have you read what i posted?

i am not passing judgement on the kid, far from it. when i was 19, i wasnt in school or could even afford to go to vegas and make mistakes like this. i was too busy ruining my life at the time on drugs and booze and causing others grief with my actions.

lets backtrack to my first post. i joked that it was ironic that somebody being touted as mature beyond his years was passed out and drunk to the point he couldnt board a flight 3 hours before said flight. a semi stranger (i will assume him and BK dont know each other all that great) now has to figure out a way to fix this situation, which can include HIM altering his plans.

a 'mature' individual would not have done that. a 'typical' 19 year old would.

i am not passing judgement on the kid, he seems to be well educated and a good poker player. however, his actions today dont seem to indicate he is the second coming of paul finch.

That said, gabe needs to drink less and i think he'll know it after reading this post and i can guarranttee he will apologize to BK. Gabe didn't mean to put BK in a bad position on purpose. He made a stupid and selfish mistake. I'm sure he'll clear it up when he's sober. Hopefulluy he learned a lesson.

I have no place in this silly arguement, but what the hell, I'll chime in too.

Variance applies to maturity and life too. This 1 situation is only an indication of his maturity. It is a pet-peeve of mine when people say that because of 1 decision, somone has to be a certain type of person. It is unclear whether you are making this statement or not. With only this incident I would say it is likely he is a below average teenager. With all the other inforamtion available from reading his posts to testamonials in this thread, I think it is very unlikely he is average or below average.

Fair enough, I guess my view of maturity is different from other people. It just that when I first meet ggbman I expected a nerdy, socially retarded computer dork whose only social interaction is 2+2. He is exactly the opposite of that. He is a very sociable and geniune person. I guess that is how I measure weather someone is mature or not. I think all you mid-hi folks also realize he is a pretty smart guy. I think almost everyone who has spent time with him would agree that he doesnt exactly seem like your normal freshman in college.

Well with that being said I can almost assure that ggbman will think I am a giant flamer when he reads this. lol

from this report, it sounds like maybe he was counting every drink as three just for fun

bicyclekick

11-07-2005, 10:21 PM

Exactly how many drinks he had is definately up for debate.

He said he counted every drink as 1 drink except a double martini he got which he counted as 2.

When I left him at 7am he was at 29 drinks and it was pretty apparent he wasn't exagerating much by how the people at his table were reacting to the whole thing. He said his goal was 30 and he was gonna be up in a few minutes when he finished the next drink. I don't know. I do know he was coherant as hell and could stand without tipping and talk as if he was normal. His eyes were bloodshot as hell, but if you asked me to guess how many drinks I'd have guessed he'd had I'd say 7...so kinda weird.

When he got back to the room it was a completely different story.

Anyhow, I was talking to deathdonkey and said something about what peachy said to do...to which gabe immediately sat up, said "peachy's a bitch" and then "lets catch that flight"...and we went. I had to stop at the cage to deposit some money so I didn't have to carry it home with me so I told him to go get in line for the checkout. He said which way is it? I pointed him in the direction and never saw him again. I asked the guy who does the taxi assistance and he said yeah he came through like 15 minutes ago. Sweet. Least he made it to the airport.

I did just read some of this thread. I regret getting myself into a state where Brian had to worry about me, I can honestly say i've never been that messed up before, and it was a ridiculous time to do it. Also, while i am a moron, i just want to be clear that this was over a 12 hour period from 10 PM to 10 AM, so i dont know how the whole figure of this happening over 2 hours got out there.

I don't usually do dumb [censored] like this, and while i was pretty [censored] up, i also knew i was not in serious danger of having alcohal poisoning, i hadn't even puked. Obviously i can see how Brian would be very concerned and would not believe that i was going to be ok, but i knew i didn't have to make myself vomit or anything. Anyway, i dont really know what the purpose of trying to clear things up further would be. Thanks to everyone who verified that this was an out of charecter thing for me, and to those of you who find that hard to believe, i don't blame you. It's not that i'm not embarrassed, but the people who know me well probably won't think less of me because of an isolated event, which is of far greater concern to me than people i don't know thinking i am an idiot.

I can tell you that typically, i am pretty unselfish person even though my actions here were nothing consistent with that. My friends know me well enough to know this, and that is all they are trying to say here.

Any comments of that nature are based things i say in regards to poker for the most part. I would like to think i handle myself well in other walks of life as well, but none of this changes the fact that i am 18 and will [censored] up from time to time. I can tell you that i learn pretty well from my mistakes, so don't expect the next dumb thing i do to be related to being this trashed. That said, i will still probably do some incredibly stupid things over the next few years, i just dont know what yet.

It isn't like Gabe was the only person who was amazingly sloppy drunk in Vegas this weekend. I'm not sure that this was as much of a gross crime against humanity as much a case of bad timing.

i also knew i was not in serious danger of having alcohal poisoning, i hadn't even puked.

FYI, esp. if you drank a lot in the home stretch, even if you are fine at the moment you can pass out, absorb more alcohol into your body, and have alcohol poisoning.

You can definitely have alcohol poisoning without throwing up.

It doesn't say that in the OP. I guess I missed that post.

Yes you did.

I missed that too.

I thought they were friends, not acquaintances. Oh well. Glad to see the kid made it home ok.

But I still stand by my assertation that if this were a friend of mine I would not just leave them. I'd book the hotel room for another night and make them pay for it and my drinks.

But I have a strict definition of friend.

i also knew i was not in serious danger of having alcohal poisoning, i hadn't even puked. Obviously i can see how Brian would be very concerned and would not believe that i was going to be ok, but i knew i didn't have to make myself vomit or anything.

my friend said that to me the night he turned 21, right before he went to bed, and the last time I ever spoke with him.

The biggest worry is him choking on his vomit. It's not a good idea to leave him alone with a full stomach.

If you can't miss your flight and you are worried about him dieing just stick your finger down his throat. If he pukes then the number one cause of death has been all but eliminated. If he doesn't puke because his gag reflex has been sedated from the alcohol then you have a bit of a problem. You can try Syrup Of Ipecac once, then again in 20 minutes, and if that doesn't work then you MUST NOT LEAVE. If he is sweating, clammy skin, dialed pupils, fast/slow breathing/heartbeat, or unable to be woken up no matter how hard you smack him, then I wouldn't leave without forcing him to puke or getting someone to watch him. Those symptoms are not required for alcohol poisoning.

Also, remove all hard objects surrounding the bed. If he falls off the bed he must not hit his head on anything hard. Leave water by the bed, put him on his left side, etc.

I agree. Also, it's easier to throw up in your sleep than many think.

I attended, and gave a speech, at a funeral of a well mannered IU business student that choked on his vomit in his sleep after a formal. His BAC was .206. Everyone thought he was pretty sober when he went to bed.

the only thing u can do is get the room for him for one more night and have josh check on him before his flight leaves at 11pm

i dont think hes gonna die...when ur drunk u lose count of ur drinks somewhere along the line...im not saying hes not drunk outta his mind...but i doubt hes in danger

try and get him up and going...if u cant fluff his pillow...leave him a note so hes not confused as hell when he wakes up....set a drink of water by him and catch ur flight

[/ QUOTE ]

Worst advice ever. Assuming he's not going to die, just because you don't think so, is about as dumb and irresponsible as you can get.

The BARE minimum you can do is check his vital signs and that will only be mildly effective if he hasn't had a drink in 2-3 hours.

Count me in as one of the few who actually understands how easy this is. After downing a 1.75L of vodka with my friend over the course of an evening, I went to bed.

Luckily my roommate hadn't been drinking and heard me choking to death in the middle of the night.

If he is talking to you, you have nothing to worry about. Put him on his stomach and take off. If he was so bad he'd have puked by now. I'm sure he's bombed, and if he misses his midterm it sucks for him, but live and learn, ya know?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is bad advice.

You either:
1-Put him on his side and lay one arm above the head and the other arm across the chest. Prop up one leg by bending the knee.

2-You lay them on their side and prop them up with a pillow. Gravity helps clear the puke.

3-The fetal position works too.

Also, just because they are talking doesn't mean the 5 shots they took in the last 10 minutes have hit them yet.

I'm kind of in shock at the poor advice given in this entire thread to tell you the truth. Especially since so many quality posters have replied and it's 150 posts long.

If a friend of mine called the ambulance because he felt it was neccesary at the time, i would not hold it against him later. If i am not able to convey that i am going to be fine, then it's probably in my best interest, and it's up to me to deal with the consequences. Fortunatley this time around it was not neccesary, but i think the most important thing is always someones saftey. Paying a fine or getting punished for underage drinking is small peanuts compared to the alternative.

Also, bear in mind all this drinking was over half a day, so that certainly has to factor into the thinking about whether or not medical assistance is required.

But calling an ambulance just because they had 37 drinks is stupid. Some people need an ambulance at 16 drinks, others can drink 40 with relative ease.

ggbman

Agreed. I happen to come from a family which can drink lots of alcohal. I know people who would literally be dead from as much i drank, but i suspect i could do it again without needing medical assistance. That said, i still put myself in a situation where i could have done something very stupid and costly. Hell, even getting outlandish enough for them to card me could have cost me a few grand. I think the point is everyone has different limits, and everyone should respect theirs more than i did.

Please explain. I am not a doctor and have no way of evaluating the situation. If I know that a friend had 37 drinks, I would call an ambulance. His life is more important than any consequences that might follow for underaged drinking, etc.

Not many people are drinking for 12 straight hours. Having this quantity of drinks over half a say is MUCH different than having it over a few hours.

They exist, you just don't see them too often once people are past the age of 22. I know several people that would drink 40+ drinks 2x a week with ease. Most of the people that do this drink from 9PM to sunrise (10+ hours) though.

As for calling an ambulance, you HAVE TO LOOK AT THEIR BODY SIGNS. Looking at how many drinks they drank in a given timespan will only give you a good indication as to how much you need to pay attention. Even then it's not accurate as you need to know their drinking history.

I wasn't really thinking about people drinking for 24 hours straight at a rate of 1.5-2 drinks/hr. For some reason, I'm picturing what happened in this thread a lot differently than how it really went down.

It really really depends on the person like wacki said. Some people could definately have 40 drinks over 12 hours and be very coherant. Some people would be dead long before they reached that point. Using an internet BAL calculator:

280 lbs. Male, High Tolerance
40 1.25oz shots of 80 proof over 12 hrs.
Blood alcohol level: 0.184 %

225 lbs. Male, Average Tolerance
30 1.25oz shots of 80 proof over 12 hrs.
Blood alcohol level: 0.404 %

And by tolerance I mean ability of their body to absorb alcohol.

wacki

11-08-2005, 12:47 PM

Also, the shots they serve at most bars (thanks to light bending glass) are really about 1/2 the size of a normal shot.

Now that its the day after and i've sorted it out with the parties involved, i can explain in a little more detail. At first i wasn't even going to order drinks that night because Tstone got carded, and i didn't think it would be a good idea. When Bugstud joined me at the table, i was feeling more like drinking and i didn't think the waitress would card me, as she had already offered me drinks several times.

We started drinking, and basically were just chillin and having a good time. When he left we probably had 15 drinks or so. As someone alluded to, i suspect some of the drinks we were having might not have had a full shot of alcohal in them, as the rum and cokes did not seem very strong. I was getting drunk, but felt surprisingly coherent for the # of drinks i had. However, i was drunk enough to think it was cool what i was doing and inform a bunch of people from the 2+2 gang about my goal for the night. I am pretty sure most of them realize this was due to already being messed up, and not because i think it's cool to count how many drinks i can have.

In the last hour before i cashed out, it started to hit me a lot harder. I was on a somewhat different sleeping schedule than some of the guys, and i hadn't slept in 24 hours. By the time i got up to the room, i was very drunk and very tired, which was a bad combo. I remember some of the interaction with Brian, he kept telling me i needed to throw up but i didnt think i had to. Then i guess i passed out for a while. I was still very out of it when we headed downstairs. BK needed to do something, i forget what. When we split up, i didnt think i would be able to find him, so i got in a cab and went to the airport. Somehow, i was able to find my way around, and my flight left later than i thought so i was able to catch it. That about sums it up. So while it wasn't a good experience, it wasnt the shot pounding binge drinking marathon some of you might envision, i just drank way to much at a bad time and it ended up hitting me pretty hard.
