I Drank Meths (pointless teenage things you did to shock)As a teenager I spent a whole summer bare-foot to show I wasn't going to bow to rules imposed by society.
(soon forgot all about that idea when the pavements got icy, I tell you)
I was telling a friend this when he trumped my story - he used to put water in a meths bottle and drink it in public. See, that'll bring down society.
What similarly classy nonsense have you got up to in the name of rebellion?
Apologies for accidentally closing this question earlier

Hydrogen burpsIn year 10 we did an experiment in chemistry where we dropped magnesium ribbon into hydrochloric acid, collected the resulting gas and tested it for that 'squeaky pop' to confirm that it was hydrogen.
As you may know, the stomach also contains a fair amount of hydrochloric acid, and far more concentrated than the stuff we used.
My friend, Ben (who was already well known for acts such as blowing the fuse for the entire science block by short-circuiting the mains supply in a physics lab and destroying every dog shit bin in the estate by blowing up cheap cans of deodorant in them), thought it would be a good idea to eat some magnesium ribbon.
He started burping. A lot.
I wanted to stick a lit match in his mouth when he burped but he was somewhat opposed to the idea.
He went home later that morning with stomach cramps.
I still have some magnesium ribbon which I have carefully kept from oxidation over the years.
I am currently living in Paris with someone who doesn't think b3ta is funny.
Click "I like this" if you think I should put magnesium powder in one of his sandwiches.
