Always makes me cringe
I went to a friend's house for a drinking contest, he lives in a room above his parent's garage and we were both 15 when this happened. We drank about 10 stellas each in the space of about half an hour and got quite druink (like I say, I was younger then) we watched Vanilla Sky, which I summed up as "Tom Cruise wandering around like 'Oh! I haven't got a face! Let's flashback to when I did!'" and then Ben was sick. All over his sofa. And then his bed and floor. I fell over into it, and in the way you always gag when you come into contact with vom, I puked, but decided to do it out of the window as it would go down the drain and be gone forever. Even while drunk, this made sense. When I wake up (I'd put a blanket over the sofa's vomit, then covered myself in overalls instead of the more logical over way round) I rouse him and we start the clean up. Getting it off the floor takes about half an hour, we pour some water on the roof and try to get rid of the smell, but his mum's pretty sharp and has a go at both of us. Or rather, me for getting drunk but Ben only with supplying the drink, which was his story to this day, the cock. The vomit's still on there, even professional cleaners can't get rid of it,and it was put there in the middle of the hottest summer of the last ten years...

Then there was this new year, with a few friends at another mate's house. His mum supplied us with a bottle of whiskey and various beers and we had a few joints to warm up. All our friend Bitch could find was a pint glass, so when we're pouring out the first of the whiskey, he fills it to half and says that's his for the night. He'd forgotten we'd said we'd take whatever we poured in one- I thought I was brave for my large glass. He had a couple of sips, we laughed at him and left it alone. A few minutes later, we see him downing it and respect him for the first time ever. A half pint of whiskey into a 14 year old isn't a good combination though, we found him passed out with his head down the toilet, surrounded by bile. His mum found it just as funny as we did.
