    I did not actually consume that much liquid... I thought I was ok... I thought my friends were having the same amount... they had to carry me home because there were no cars... the next morning was by far the worst day of my life... i'm really a good kid... I only had weed before this... it was a big shock...

    As for my feelings... I feel like when i'm talking... I am just listening to myself... and someone else is talking... I feel disconnected... when I laugh I don't feel happy when I cry I don't feel sad... these are hellish days...

    Hate to sound so adult like, but I hope you learn from this experience. Trust me, there will be thousands of days for you to drink when you are older. Take your time and live the 15 year old life. Don't grow up so fast. If you do, one day you will look back and miss your youth.

    I speak from experience.

    Oh my god!

    I'm glad you're ok. You got lucky.

    And take acoustic guy's advice. Now is the time to enjoy being a kid. You can drink yourself stupid later. That's what college is for.

    yep, this is pretty much what i was trying to say in my other posts.

    if i could be 15 again and do the things that 15 year old is supposed to do, ahhh wish i could go back.

    Sometimes it can take a week for your body to feel completely normal again. The better you eat and the more water you drink will speed up the process tremendously. I hope you look back and thank your lucky stars, and not to be super old but moments like what you experienced and how you deal with it, really tell what type of person you will be the rest of your life. You are so lucky!

    its been a while since this happened to me now... I have drunk since then in much more moderation... I learned my lesson that drugs and alcohol are not to be taken lightly. I still smoke weed... I'm 16 now. Right after it happened I thought I was gonna have a life revolution and go all good and everything. I didn't... This whole thing also made me realize that there is no God watching over me... anything can happen in my life and I and responsible not God.

    I hate to think of how horrible it was. I still have some good music that is attached to memories... when I listen to it, it kills me (Dirty Fingernails - Modest Mouse)

    Even though I learned a lesson the pain was not worth it...

    .316 is no lightweight stuff. I don't believe for a second you " didn't even drink that much ". A couple of wine coolers won't land you in the hospital. Pace yourself. Once you can get in the bars shits gonna get a lot more crazy.

    There shouldn't be any permanent damage. Especially if you won't be drinking for a while (which I assume you won't). Any temporary damage to your liver/stomach will heal quickly but there probably isn't any since you said the actual volume of alcohol wasn't that much.

    Seriously though, 0.316 is FAR too high, for anyone, but especially for a first time. Not surprised you ended up in hospital. Any BAC over 0.30 can lead to death (seriously) and almost always leads to unconsciousness. Do NOT do it again. I don't think any of us can stress just how important it is to know your limit.

    Just to warn you how dangerous (although I'm sure you were told this at the hospital and you dont need another lecture), according to wikipedia:

    "Unless a person has developed a high tolerance for alcohol, a BAC rating of 0.20% represents very serious intoxication (most first-time drinkers would be unconscious by about 0.15%), and 0.35% represents potentially fatal alcohol poisoning."

    EDIT - just saw this was an old post. Still, I'll leave the message.

    Yeah I just noticed you pulled this thing up from March. 3 months later God betrayed you, and you're puffing now. Just try to stay away from anything powder or pill is the best I can offer. You seem to be headed down a pretty clear path. Not judging, just don't try and fool yourself into thinking you're still in control after a while.

    What did you expect?!?! Did you expect god to knock the bottle of vodka out of your hand?
    Granted, I've done some stupid shit in my life but that is pretty fuckin' dumb.

    wow, dear. Please please please take my advise. I am a lot older than you but I have partied most of my life. I am always up for a good time and always have been. But I promise you that if you allow it to, life will wait for you to reach the ages where you can party and not get yourself into this sort of trouble; truly.

    I guarantee you that you will be older. I guarentee you that most things are not worth rushing into. And I also guarantee you that life at 15 holds many things that are strictly for 15 year olds. Please enjoy those things. There are times for the other as long as you don't kill yourself from partying or become addicted ...........

    I am all for expanding your mind; I am not lecturing you nor trying to be your parent. But I care about young people and I want you to know that you have a lot going for you. Please take care of yourself. Honestly.

    I hope you feel better soon. (Maybe did you drink what we use to call, "jungle juice"? Grain alcohol and punch? That is potent if you did. I was there..............ewwwwwwwwww.)
