My brother
had a slight 'to-do' last new years eve. As I patched him up I reckon I'm in a position to give the details.
Picture the scene: We (self, brother, sister and her bloke) are in brother's flat getting ready to go out; vodka is flying around and a fair amount is going down our throats. We have tickets to a vodka bar in Bristol. Fast forward a couple of hours during which jugs of champagne, vodka and red bull have been consumed in the bar.
About this point things go a bit hazy... We're still in the bar but little bro has disappeared. As its getting towards chucking-out time we (bro not included) decide to amble back through central Bristol back to the flat. 45 minutes later, then again, it could be 2 hours, we're back at the flat to find brother sitting on the door step holding his ribs.
He doesn't have a clue whats happened but has a nice cut through one of his eyebrows. Could have been on the receiving end of a kicking or stacked it into a lampost.
So end of the night, he (brother) has a sore set of ribs, a fat lip, and a cut eyebrow.

Next morning, he gets up to go to the bathroon and promptly passes out, cue much banging as body comes into contact with bathroom fittings, including walls and radiator. This results in him getting a more severe beating from his bathroom than the chavs/lampost gave him the nights before.
New injuries collected on New Years day:
- split other eyebrow (scar still in evidence 1 year on).
- cuts/scars on either side of throat, dangerously close to jugular.
- scar on back of the head when slumping to the ground.

I'm not saying he's accident prone but this is ONE new year and hes now 28! He's got more drinking injuries than an entire rugby team but thats for another time.

Apologies for length, girth and general long winded-ness.

PS. Sorry no photos but they're vomit inducing.
