What's, your worst drugs/alcohol experience?
I'm talking just physically/mentally, not necessarily prostituing onself/being homeless and the like... :hi: (Cos lord knows. I don't need any competition in that area...
Me: 8th grade; my friend Lea (London: as to be distingushed from the horrid actress of similar name) Thompson (whose dad was a pilot, and an alcoholic) snagged all these airline bottles of Sloe Gin and, coincinentally, happened onto a friend's (Sorry, Carol! :hi:) stash of diet pills (white crosses).

ALTOGETHER. BAD. IDEA. :cry: :puke: :cry: :puke:

4. I was 16 or 17 and staying at my best friends house for the weekend
while her parents were gone and in the course of a day/evening drank probably 5 Smirnoff ices, then half a bottle of vodka(mixed with OJ) and THEN I took one of her vicodins.


I was puking for about 5 hours straight and felt like shit for about 4 days after. :puke:

6. Busbar (sp?)
Mental health med, but it made me faint and dizzy in a public place, thank God my Dad was there.

I have never been drunk or high on illegal drugs. Led a very sheltered life, but I hate taking these meds, that was my worse experience, but they all make me sleepy or dizzy.

12. Declared dead
Drank most of a 26'er of gin at a University Residence.

A med student declared me dead and people started panicking and running up and down the halls. Then I puked.

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

Everywhere.

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

Literally.

16. It involves a party on the second floor of a motel with a balcony
there were cops ....sirens..lots of running around, and in the morning I looked like I had tangled with a tiger...and lost..

from what I was told, I jumped off the balcony into some evergreen bushes (I am ALLERGIC to evergreens) and was cut and scratched up..all over.. I had on a tank top and shorts..no shoes..

Three days later a guy from a fraternity on campus called to tell me that my purse was in the trunk of his car.. The guys scooped up what they could grab, tossed it into cars and left in a hurry..


another time..

I woke up in an apartment with about 20 people..I did not know any of them.. apparently there had been a party ther night before, and my roommates forgot to wake me up and take me with them..

We had pancakes, I called my roomie, and she came and got me..


NO DRUGS were involved in the above events..

18. I went to Crescent City
with this HOT lad I was trying to snare.

We had a bunch of Thai food, then we got a bottle of Bacardi, and yes, it was the BIG bottle. Not the huge bottle, but the big bottle. We then proceeded to drink the whole thing. We stayed up and drank, and suddenly we realized it was 4:30 and we needed to be on a boat at 5:30.

We went down to the harbor and got on the boat, which was a 45 footer.

As soon as we left the harbor, we looked at each other with that look you see people give each other in movies when they know they're gonna get it. Like Han Solo and Leia in "Empire Strikes Back" when Han's about to be frozen in carbonite. That kind of look.

The person in charge of the boat put me in charge of throwing popcorn, and I focused on throwing popcorn and NOT throwing up.

The water was choppy. Very choppy. The ocean was moving with about 6 foot swells at a pretty close interval.

It was BAD.

Fortunately, 45 minutes into the trip the captain decided it was too choppy, and we went back to the harbor.

But until that point, it was very very close. :puke:

19. On acid one night
Edited on Mon Feb-20-06 11:19 PM by Ariana Celeste
Not a terribly exciting story, but.... here goes.

The night before we had taken a couple hits each. So the next night I was told, I had to take double or it wouldn't have the same effect. I hesitated, but then took double.
Hit my peak a little fast~ with the flash of a camera that seemed to resonate. From that point, for the next couple hours, everything was too there. I couldn't handle looking at anything shiny. It was too real and it made me uncomfortable. Then I couldn't feel my heartbeat or my lungs, so I thought that something was terribly wrong with me. I spent all this time either pacing from bathroom, to living room, to couch, to bathroom, etc and so on- or hiding under the computer table.
Things calmed down a bit in my head so I sat in the hallway to watch the door. And it was moving at me and away simultaneously. Which proved to be too much. So I hung out in the bathroom and watched the floor move which for some reason calmed me down tremendously.

But after all that everything was really awesome and I went to the store for donuts because donuts are awesome, and walked through a sea of glitter (It had snowed like a foot) to make my way to the store. Which is another story for another day. Woot! Acid is sweet.

80. Even funnier is walking into a quasi-high-class gambling establishment
like Ceasar's Palace and seeing nothing but a sea of dread-locked hippies in tie-dye pulling out wads of bills that would choke a horse at the craps tables.

Very surreal :P

20. four Xanax and about half a bottle of bourbon
A 750 ml bottle, that is. A very bad idea!

As for mentally, I've gotta go with every experience ever with cocaine, mostly because I sort of want to kill myself every time I have to hang out with a bunch of coke people. Probably if I had more clarity of thought, it would be them I'd want to kill. x(

21. I was taking Effexor
Edited on Tue Feb-21-06 12:39 AM by Susang
And a little known side effect of that drug is, that for some people, it makes them crave alcohol. Weird, huh?

So, I'm at this party one Saturday night with a bunch of people I barely know, I'd already been out drinking for most of the afternoon. I started doing shots of tequila with this one guy, next thing I know, I wake up in the hospital. The Effexor/alcohol combination had given me some very strange neurological symptoms and even though I was conscious, I couldn't speak anything but gibberish and didn't know where I was.

My doctor took me off Effexor slowly over the next month and the urge to drink heavily went away quickly. Strangest drug side effect that's ever happened to me. My doctor even reported it to the FDA, that's how I found out that it's actually a known side effect, it's just not advertised in their literature. Scary, eh? :scared:

Edited on Tue Feb-21-06 05:40 AM by BlueIris
anti-depressants, though, I would drink occasionally and that...sometimes got weird. Zoloft + beer was usually okay. Paxil + beer, though? Resulted in an absolutely freakish incident that made me drop both of those substances basically for good.

77. I was taking Effexor XR
The longer lasting kind. Maybe that made the difference, dunno. Either way, it was some scary shit. My doctor has put on my permanent chart that I am allergic to SSRIs, so that no future doctor will try to put me on them again.

I was on it for pain management, he put me to Wellbutrin about a year ago (which targets dopamine and norepinephrine, not seratonin) and I seem to be handling that one fine. No interactions, few side effects and decent pain management. :D

85. I had that with Effexor XR too
And before that on regular Effexor, for eight years altogether, and it made my alkeehol cravings HUGE-- especially for red wine. Very very dangerous combo if you already have depression and suicidal urges.

Wellbutrin just made me ill, period. It made me very sensitive to smells-- especially cantonese food.

I've never heard Wellbutrin prescribed for pain management, though... glad to hear it works!

117. Wellbutrin caused me to have seizures.
I had never had one before, and I haven't since.

Fun in the ER. After I stopped shaking, I tried to leave AMA.- tests were back, nothing unnormal...They old me that if I didn't comply, they'd have to restrain me...

When I finally got home that night, I found out that they had tried to guilt trip my mom "You don't want her dying, right?" My mother knew better- she kept saying that she would be responsible for all problems that may arise. I waited until all of the nurses/doctors were no where to be seen, slipped my street clothes on. I told the staff that they were making ti worse. That;s when they shot me up with Ativan so that I could move/go anywhere. My mother was furious that they had given me something like that, and she called a friend. Between the 2 of then, and my mom's friend' driving the car/waiting outside they removed me from the crappy ER unit. and they took me home.

I think I'm still mildly tramatized from the event, and it was easily over 4 years ago.

23. Probably the last time I did acid
One hit of five dollar acid on Canada Day, as was tradition. Made sure I had about 24 hours free.
So, three of us drop and start wandering around. Everything was fine until about 4am (middle of summer, btw) when I felt so hot I thought was going to melt. I was sweating like crazy, and my friends started freaking out cause I was ICY to the touch. I almost ended up with freaking hypothermia. So, they get me home, and we sit around for a while. They take off to their respective homes, suggesting I sleep it off.

Three days later, I finally passed out in the same place they left me. Curled on the couch watching Teletoon with a 2 liter of coke and a box of lucky charms.

Three days. No sleep. The trip didn't let up. I laid there and thought I would be high for the rest of my fucking life. I don't know if I've ever been so scared and insane in my life.

Never done the shit since.


I do still sort of wonder, though. Did I hallucinate the monkey soap opera, or was that really on the TV?

27. I was 15 and went to a party with a friend
I drank an entire pint of Southern Comfort. I hadn't intended to drink the whole thing but once I had a bit too much the part of my brain that knew when to stop shut off so I ended up finishing the bottle. Of course I passed out after a while considering I'd had nothing else to drink, and very little to eat. I didn't wake up until the next morning, and walked home with my friend (fortunately getting in before my mom woke up).

Six months later my friend told me that one of the guys at the party took advantage of me while I was passed out. :grr: (She'd gone out with someone else for a walk, so wasn't around at the time it happened. She only found out herself because the culprit bragged about it to his buddy, who in turn told her.)

33. One of them:
pint of 151 at a Fleetwood Mac concert - back when I was a bit thinner and while never a lightweight in the drinking dept, at 120 lbs a pint of 151 can do some damage.

Woke up in the first aid tent and they wouldn't freaking believe all I had consumed was rum! Kept trying to find out what else I had taken....nice hangover that night...ugh


Oh I remember another - bad trip - smoked a joint with some new neighbors - had a really bad reaction, knew it was somekind of "additive" and just waited it out - but sure would have freaked if I hadn't been...erm, ..."experienced" yeah that's it. Later the symptoms seemed to match up with what I read about Angel Dust - wwhooo not too fun.

34. Vodka and lemon/limeade and ice.
We mixed that up in 5 gallon buckets. I started drinking it just like it was just lemonade, really pounding 'em down. It hit me all at once as I found myself on the floor. I was carried to my room one floor above and was out of it for several days. Drunkest I've ever been.

I've always been curious about acid but I don't know how bad it can screw with your health.

37. 15 and life
First drinking experience.. just for background. Split a 5th of Aristocrat Vodka with a friend
via screwdrivers. Had a great night roaming around the neighborhood, passed out on a lawn or two.
Made it back to the house of an acquaintance/friend (one of those high school friends who has the commonality
of being a outcast with you but makes your skin crawl). Went to sleep drunk off my ass in a house I've
never been to before. Woke up a few hours later sick as hell with no idea where the bathroom was. Stumbled
over my friend on the floor who proceeded to kick me into the wall where I fumbled desperately with the window
trying to open it, a battle that I mostly lost. Threw up on the wall/window cell and went back to bed. Woke
up the next morning to a chorus of shouting from the guy who's bedroom it was. In a stroke of genius I decided
the best way to clean it up was to basically brush it out the partly open window into the yard below. I was
deep in the task of doing this when I heard a woman shout "HEY" from below. It was the mother of the house
doing some morning gardening in the area directly below where I was. In one of those universal alignments
I was throwing the remnants of the night before directly onto her. My response was a half hearted "Sorry I
got sick". Rents came to pick me up about 10 minutes later and I never looked back. I know I'm the bad guy here.
All I can say in my defense is that the guy whose house it was went on to become a neo-nazi bastard and I later
learned the rents were supporters of Ollie North's VA senate campaign.... so cut me some slack :)

38. When I was around 21 or 22...
Alcohol/drug intake in one night: 14 beers, 3 bourbon & Cokes, half a pitcher of margaritas, 3 packs of cigarettes, several lines of cocaine...I didn't puke, amazingly enough. But I woke up next day feeling like death; I had a deep ache in my lungs from all the smoking, a horrendous throbbing headache that didn't go away thanks to the combined beer/bourbon/tequila and cocaine hangover...I spent 18 hours in bed, with a pillow over my face to block the light, wanting to die. That was the last time I've imbibed in such heroic quantities, and the last time I did coke. I suppose you could say it was a learning experience.

39. Milkshake with an Everclear chaser
I can't drink as much milk as I like but one warm Friday afternoon I had a milkshake a big ass vanilla one. A few hours later, I went to a party where among the libations was fruit cocktail soaked in Everclear (190 proof ethyl, the chemist's choice). Yum, that was good.

Since I was living with the folks, I had to tiptoe in the house, cause I could tell I had an upcoming date with the porcelain bus. My parents, whose room was adjacent to the loo, heard me. My mom called out, 40'under, are you sick? I answered no, and promptly tossed my belly in the bowl.

Mom's payback: next morning I had to drive her around to run errands.

71. Don't remember/ not sure,
but I remember at one point (BEFORE I started to feel *really* bad) looking in a mirror, and seeing my face, which suddenly looked extremely old (I was about seventeen, at the time.) We were driving home when I started shaking. I fell asleep that night thinking that I was going to die, and I should probably go tell my parents, so they could bring me to get my stomach pumped. Pretty sure at the very least, I did some kidney damage that night. :scared:

I have 'em growing wild in the yard. VERY wild, as in "I can grow anything in the back yard as long as it's morning glories."

I've heard datura is a BAD trip. That grows wild all over the state, but a FOAF ate a whole seed capsule up on Mount Shasta and the last thing he remembers is laying on the ground thinking he was going to die of a heart attack and then wandering into town a week later with no memories of the last 7 days. :o

45. I was at a club partying with some friends...
and someone slipped something into my drink. I collapsed and was taken outside where the rest of my friends joined shortly after. The club figured I was just drunk but my friends knew that wasn't right as we had just arrived about 30 minutes before, so they figured something was up and took me to the hospital.

Come to find out someone had put GHB into my drink and my body reacted to it. I spent a few nights in the hospital because of that incident.

49. Oh, wait
I was thinking alcohol because I had so much experience with it way back when. Forgot about That Time I Smoked Dope. Apparently it was laced with crystal meth, or something.

This was during lunch at summer school, and within about 20 minutes after we went back to class it started to hit me — dizziness, disorientation, etc. The instructor asked if I wanted to go to the office, and I got up and left, but I didn't get 30 feet out the door before the biggest panic attack in history hit me. I groped my way around campus for god knows how long, hanging on to fences and stuff, trying to get some fix on reality. I had no sense of time, space, anything.

I finally found the office, somehow, and managed to communicate that I needed help. I guess I gave them my mom's work number because she came and got me, and I went home and slept it off.

I've only smoked dope three or four times since, and only in very special circumstances. Because of that one time, and another that was similar but not as intense, it scares me.

53. Overpartiers Handbook Lesson #1
Edited on Tue Feb-21-06 07:01 AM by fudge stripe cookays
Don't mix the Booze!

Weekend #2 at college away from mom, and no roommates accompanying. I went to the big athletes dorm with some new friends.

Had 5 Coors Lites, 2 red wine coolers, then they opened the door to their suitemates who offered the last of their Jack Daniels (about a 1/16th of a bottle).

I downed it.

The next thing I remember was lying on the floor under the bed, and looking up at the hall light coming in through the door. S and T were making out with the 2 guys and had pushed me under the bed. The RA had come by telling them it was almost 2; girls needed to get out of the guys' wing.

T stayed behind for last minute goodbyes with her fella. S and I headed for the elevator (me not so well). And REALLY not feeling too well either. She told me I'd feel better once we got outside and I got some fresh air.

Didn't make it.

Purple. All over me, my clothes, my shoes, the elevator....
S was torn between needing to help me because she knew how fucked up I was, and completely horrified because she wanted to pretend she'd never seen me before in her life.

She still ended up navigating me back up the street to our dorm, helping me find my key, and dumping me unceremoniously inside. To this day, I cannot stand the smell of red wine coolers.

The janitors say my memory lives on!

69. Never really had any bad drug or alcohol experiences
Some weird ones for sure, stumbling around out of our head tripping down the backroads of SW Mo, trying to find the lake, instead finding all sort of different people. Had to go back and get the car, and then found the lake via driving:shrug:

Climbing to the top of a newly constructed but unused power plant chimney just to catch the view, stayed up there for hours tripping my ass off.

Belladona can be fun, or not, depending on your dose and your personal psyche.

Acid for a week or more is real fun, but not something I'd do now. Now I pretty much limit myself to getting a mild alcohol buzz once in while. Still love tequila, but have given up Jose Cuervo for something that actually tastes good.

But lord, lord, did I love hallucinigens back in the day. Good times, good times.

I've been drunk a couple of times in my life but nothing really bad ever happened. I guess the drunkest I've ever been was at my buddy's bachelor party. I did throw up that night but that's the only time I've ever gotten sick on alcohol. And if I ever had any urge to try drugs I've been cured by some of the stories on this thread. :scared:

It was a hotel bed.

I got up there by way of road trip, at one point decided not to tag along any more, insisted on being dropped off at the nearest hotel and said I'd make my own way home. It sure would have been easier to deal with the next morning had I remembered that.

I took it alone late at night. I was put on trial by sadomasochistic zombie demons. And, of course, was found guilty. Not nice at all. And then my mother made me go shopping with her while I was still in the middle of a total horror acid trip. Not fun - it still makes my skin crawl.

86. High school hockey tournaments, 1983. Burnsville was headed
to the championships - I think this may have been a semifinal game. I was a junior.

Someone gave me a bottle of Jack Daniels.

Foolishly, I drank straight from the bottle.

I spent nearly the entire game in the bathroom staring alternately at my shoes and the toilet bowl.

To this day, I cannot stand the taste or smell of Jack Daniels.

87. At the private party after the all Greek party my sop year of college
I ended up having a total of 11 hard liquor shots. I consumed them in less than 2 hours, closer to 1. I had never been drunk before. I drank to keep up with more experienced friends and heavier guys. Since I was consuming them relatively quickly, I didn't feel too drunk. Then everything hit me.
I laid down on the floor. Everything was spinning. A guy came in, upset about some girl, and hit the table over. I didn't see him hit it though. I saw him about to strike it. Then the table was down. Everything seemed scary. I wasn't having a good time.
When I got up, I barely could walk. Then I puked. Then I lied down. Then I puked some more before going to bed.
I must have vommitted enough of the alcohol out because I didn't have a hangover the next day.

88. My University Pub Lord-ing
The BU Pub has a "goal" (a good way to get the students to part with their money as well!!!) called The Knight's Quest and The Lord's Quest. I finished the Knight's Quest and was determined to finish the Lord's Quest (Knight's was mostly beer and it took a while to finish it). The Lord's Quest was smaller mixed drinks.

I drank about 18 mixed drinks and I said I needed to go pee. I don't remember sitting down to pee or remember feeling sick. The next thing I remember was a giant puddle of puke next to the loo bowl. A pub employee graciously took me home and another pub employee graciously cleaned it up.

The Result of this Lord's Quest: A massive hangover the next day (so massive I couldn't get out of my bed or turn on the lights) and Lording me the Pub's Potty Puker when I finished the Quest. I haven't done it since. It's on a plaque in the Pub as I write this.

How my then boyfriend's sister managed to clean that coat to where it looked brand new, I'll never know. I was so drunk that he had to drive me home and sneak past my parents bedroom to put me in bed. I have know idea how we managed to not get caught. I was so friggin' hung over the next day...my parents thought I had the flu.

She was a really rough cow and we never got along well. One night we ran into each other at a tavern and she just insisted that I smoke one of her joints. Duh. I smoked about 1/10th of it, with my boyfriend, in the parking lot, and immediately started hallucinating. I got horribly ill and my boyfriend was in even worse shape.

The bitch. I shudder to think what she slipped me.

It wasn't laced, because like a dumbass I smoked it again a couple weeks later and the effect wasn't as bad. It did exacerbate whatever latent anxiety problem I have.

Needless to say, I don't smoke pot anymore.

105. Some anti-anxiety meds I took a decade ago
My mom went to the pharmacist, filled the perscription, came home. She came back, and saw that the pills were a bit larger than usual. I took one the next day, as my regiment, and an hour later, I felt dizzy. REALLY DIZZY. I also felt tired. So I went to the hospital, got a butterful pin in my arm (which hurt like hell). They found out that I overdosed on my meds. My mom went back to the pharmacy and got the right pills.

I couldn't think straight. Gah.

107. I had a couple of experiences in high school and college that involved
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 07:19 PM by Mayberry Machiavelli
actually blacking out, losing part or most of the evening.

I'm glad that in college, in my early drinking experiences, it seemed that I'd mostly have a great time, but maybe one out of five times or so I'd get violently ill. Those times kind of steered me away from a life of hardcore alcoholism, LOL.

Yeah, the one high school New Year's party, I remember drinking Busch beer, mead, wine, champagne, all in the same evening. NOT good times.

The worst feeling IMHO is waking up and realizing you're still drunk, that your blood alcohol level was SO HIGH that even the next morning, you're still toasted. NOT pleasant.

Also, the evenings where you weren't that drunk, but had to clean up after your mates, or drag/carry them back to their dorm rooms and what not, weren't exactly Kodak moments either.

On Edit: I hope that the lost brain cells from these outings were not responsible for preventing me from accomplishing great things in my life, LOL.

113. oh damn
well, this was back in 1979. me and a co-worker (she was pretty wild, ran with bikers) decided to go to see the marshall tucker band in long beach. this was back when country rock bands were popular. everyone had a cowboy hat :eyes: we drove from irvine to long beach with a half-gallon of grapefruit juice mixed with a fifth of tequila between us down the 405 in her PINTO, swigging the entire way. i don't remember coming home, but we did :hippie:

how times have changed:)

121. I Did Too Much Ginseng Today...
...& have a waking nightmare, wherein the world's population of wild birds is on the verge of being murdered by sharply-toothed earthworm-like creatures.

The slitherers had only see the sun sporadically in youth, and with each exposure to it, a certain venom was generated in their salivary glands. They simultaneously developed shiny tails that can shoot into the sky -- and morph into the favorite food of each species of flier!

Now the birds don't have to keep their natures in order to hunt their favorite foods. They can now eat on the wing.

While it gradually withdraws its shiny baited tail into its hole the ground -- the venomous worm's head stealthily emerges from a nearby hole ...poised to devour every bird it's enticed to fly low.


;)

122. one time while drunk, I sniffed gas with a few friends
Edited on Sun Mar-05-06 05:48 AM by Wetzelbill
I barely remember doing it. But anyway, the next day I was walking down the road to my parents mailbox and the toxins must have still been in me or something, because I kept seeing a little green martian darting in and out of my peripheral vision. We live out in the country so I looked back to see him out in this field hiding behind farm equipment. I just thought: "Fuck that, I'm never sniffing anything like that again, drunk or not."

Once I had a girl pop a pill in my friend's drink. I thought he was BSing about her doing it, so I drank it. I don't remember a thing after that, but I did have a horrid drunken night in which I terrorized everybody around me. And, I was sooo effing sick the next day!

Another time I passed out with my head in my friend's dog dish. I thought it was a pillow.

I have had several one-night stands, none of which I am too proud of. All mistakes.

Yup, I was young and dumb once. Now I'm semi-young and just kind of dumb. :)

Oh this one wasn't being young or dumb though. (ok, maybe a little dumb) I worked on a short film for the Seattle International Film Festival a few years ago. At the premiere party they gave away free drinks. I didn't make it home until 5 AM, my friends said I was just trashed. I had a whole bunch of numbers and business cards of actresses too, haha. The last thing I remember was kissing some girl in a bar, then I woke up the next morning with a bunch of bead necklaces on. I don't even want to know what the hell I did to get those! I had to ride a train the next day too. Oh it was torture!
