Boxcar - 1, me and my girlfriend - 0.
Back in the 90's there was an Australian dancey, housey 'band' called Boxcar.
Despite the fact that I wasn't totally gay I actually liked them. My girlfriend at the time also "didn't mind them".

So we bought some tickets to go and see them on their Oz wide tour at a local nightclub.
The night of the gig I headed over to her place to have a few drinks before the performance. She was living in a shared house - a couple of her housemates and friends joined us for drinks and were going into the club district as well.
Someone suggested we have a drink of goon and sure enough by the time the taxi turns up to pick us up my gf and I have consumed about half of a 4Ltr. box each.
We are well and truly fucked. So we all decide to smoke a nice big fat spliff between us.
Anyhoo, we've got tickets and someone bundles us into a cab to drive a kilometre or so to the gig.
As the cab pulls up I feels a queasy sensation and the world starts to tilt and spin. Very soon after we walk in the front door my gf also expresses her feelings on 'unwellness'.
We get our stamps on our wrists at the door after showing the door-staff (a couple of blokes I know thru work) our tickets.

Then I hit full-on-white-out mode.
The room starts to rotate around my head and no matter what I try to do my guts are feeling like the white chargers killing the dark riders in that Lord of The Rings movie.
Once they start there's no holding them back.

I rush out the doors I had only moments earlier entered. Then I run around the corner to regurgitate about 2 lts. of cask white wine. My gf seeing what I have done joins me in emptying the contents of her tummy. We spew together for a few moments before our friends find us. They then manage to bundle us into the very same cab we came in - which transports us the short journey home. All before the gig has even started.

We got home safely, had weak, drunk shower sex, crawled into bed and woke up the next morning hung over, $60 lighter, no banging good gig under our belt and facing the knowledge that neither of us could ever live down getting so pissed on goon that we chucked a whitey at the start of what apparently was a topnotch dance gig.
Spewing in communion is a bond that I imagine few couples can enjoy remembering.
tl;dr - it was actually a good gig apparently, just not so good for me!

I've never met an Australian who could hold his booze.
For a nation whose only cultural identity is blokes with tinnies of shit lager they're a complete bunch of beernancies.
