Title: I can't see
Post by: genocidal tendencies on June 06, 2007, 01:36:05 PM: Got absolutely shite faced last night and lost my only pair of glasses. Apparently I had them when I left the pub, the next place I remember being after that was somewhere in quite a large park and looking for a pair of glasses in it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack even if I could see.

I'm not sure if the headache is from the southern comfort or the eyes and specsavers have told me it'll take them a week to get me another pair.

Just having a moan.

having glasses sucks. luckily my prescription hasn't changed in ages, so i can use my old pair as a spare if i'm ever stuck...

Post by: genocidal tendencies on June 06, 2007, 03:39:42 PM: My old pair broke and I had to wear my mum's for 2 weeks. You'd think I would have bought 2 pairs after that, wouldn't you?

Ever spent five minutes trying to take a lens out that's already out?:)

+1 Also avoids the major problem of glasses "fogging up" when you enter a warm pub from a cold outside - although this will now mean you can't use the excuse that you are unable to see the bar and are therefore unable to buy the first round.

Post by: froglord on June 09, 2007, 06:04:07 PM: I went literally blind once after drinking - for a minute I couldn't see a thing, but I could still feel and hear properly. This probably makes me sound like the world's biggest pisshead, but that isn't really true (pauses to sip Chianti). Anyone else had this happen to them? It's quite worrying...

Yep, happened to me too! When I first saw this thread I though it was about this very topic!

I was blind for about 30 minutes. Apparently you're supposed to keep drinking to get through it ... something to do with alcohol posioning and imbalances. Anyway, a few guinesses later and I was fine.

I personally blame the 'scrumpy' I had been drinking which we got from a Cornish farm ... I have a strong suspicion it was actually Apple Juice and Meths.

Yes! That's what I was drinking - cider c--ktails. Basically strong scrumpy mixed with other ingredients like champagne and ... er ... mead, I think. Absolutely lethal.

Also, I couldn't continue drinking because this happened about an hour after I'd stopped. I was on my way back to the University and I was getting more and more inebriated!
