I drank so much gin once that when I woke up I couldn't see anything out of my left eye
Even though it was open, all I could see out of it was red - seems that I'd passed out with one eye open and it had completely dried out overnight. With the monster of all hangovers and a healthy dose of panic brewing I dragged myself into the bathroom and put my head under the tap so I could pour water directly into the socket.

After about an hour of this my vision came back, which was a huge relief, considering I've paid over a grand an eye to make sure my eyesight is perfect.

I no longer drink gin.

I once got utterly hammered,
and was adamant that I had double-vision out of each eye (that is, I would see double even with one eye closed). My companions were rather insistent that I was talking bollocks, but I was having none of it (unless "it" was either more booze, or something to be sick in).

Its actually possible to have double vision with one eye - caused by eyestrain having odd effects on the optic nerve. I've had this argument with my optician..

Interesting.
I'm putting my case down to me being an incoherent, drunken mess.

my eyes do this a lot
as i sleep with them open(not by choice). it sounds weird, but i find that a folded tissue, soaked with milk, helps to soothe eyes and get them feeling better in about half an hour. an eyepatch helps, too.

Thankfully it's not been an issue of late (since I stopped drinking gin, basically)
but it's good advice to know just in case :)

Alternate
eyes next time!

In hindsight my real mistake was accepting a challenge to a drinking competition from an Irishman
I won, but ultimately I lost
