I had some grazing on my left arm. Thought I had fallen, then remember I was wrestling with a team mate so a barmaid could cut his hair. Exposed brick is pretty but not practical

Oh man, one time I was spending the weekend with my hillbilly friends down in Pine Gap, they live in a trailer that teeters on the side of the holler and have a big week long party every year. They have a giant bonfire that they cook on all week long. It's late into the evening of the second night, I'm blitzed, poking the fire with a stick, when the benevolent matron of the trailer tells me "Don't you lose that stick in the fire that's my cookin stick". Well sure enough after awhile I lose the stick in the fire. So I get out of my lawn chair to retrieve said stick and fall fist first into the center coals. Nobody was undrunk enough to notice so I grabbed the stick, threw it on the ground and sat back in my chair and stuck my hand in the cooler full of ice.
Time travel to the next morning, I wake up and my hand is freezing and throbbing. I pull it out of the cooler and there is no skin on my hand from the top knuckle down. Everyone seemed more concerned about it than I did, I'll just say thank dog for moonshine, nature's best wound disinfectant and full body anesthetic. the skin grew back after a couple months.

Something tells me that in precisely three weeks, I'm going to be reporting back to you guys with some sort of interesting tale, that I imagine will result in injury. Might warrant its own thread. This occassion will mark a serious boozing landmark for me, and my #1 drinking buddy with that immortal Irish blood that can pack away booze will be taking me out. His girlfriend will be DD'ing. I have some Irish blood, and the past year, I've been making sure that the Irish drinking blood comes out for this showing. and any showing after.

Actually, I do have two stupid drinking injuries I completely forgot about.

One was that I couldn't seem to crack a knuckle on one of my fingers, so after pulling on it repeatedly, I just began whacking the hell out of it, indiscriminately, on a metal pole or fence or something, hoping to loosen it up (?). Dislocated the shit out of it; excruciating pain the next day. Happy ending tho: Got lots of percocet for my troubles.

The other was ultra-mega-clutzy. In a dance club, somehow managed to twist my whole foot (?) walking up to ask the dj to play something. Limped along drunkenly, not thinking much on it. Next day, swollen purple, surely something in there broken.

Wrapped it up, put on my steel toed kicker boots, and went to see GWAR (RIP Dave Brockie) two days later as planned. My poor booted foot was trod upon in the mass of my fellow blood and alien goo stained maniacs. Owie. Limped home, covered in the usual mess that is spewed by GWAR cheerfully.

These are both like over a decade ago... live and learn.

Otherwise, I'm like a slinky when drunk. Or maybe a parkour dude. I zig, I zag, I flop, but I pop back up.
Enjoy it. Destroy it.

The russian buddy had this stupid going crazy moments when he suddenly punched you out of nowhere when drunk. He once hit me blindsided and might have given me a concussion. All I know is that the next day I wasn`t the usual hungover but was throwing up odd amounts of vomit countless times all day to go along with a brutal headache. He blamed my substantial consumption of alcohol of course

ah, lol I can see this happening it is very unsatisfying to not have a knuckle pop add that to being really drunk and this is what you get, percocet is a nice score I never get anything better than loricets.

Idk if I could be friends with someone that does that, if I was it would end with us fighting. I have only been in 2 fights in the last decade, but my temper is to bad to not swing from my reflexes.

I`m a social worker for a reason (albeit "inactive"), we can take a beating plus then some and don`t care for hells sake. I just feel pity for the lost souls needing this kind of action to let their inner demons out. And yes there are some folks who better not drink. They give MDMers a bad rep

Every six hours, for six hours. The rest of the time is spent drinking mixtures of Bloody Marys, whisky and vodka and lemon (without changing or cleaning the drinking vessel).

Unconscious people can take quite a beating (and the occasional stabbing from Constantin).

Went out to Happy Hour with a coupla broads from High School on Friday. I ate all of 2 wings and drank many pints of Stoli O and club. I've got bruises on my head, my back and I'm pretty sure I broke a toe. Mother of pearl - I wasn't this beat up at the Con in Denver in '08! And I did break a toe there - and had a cut on it that didn't heal for 6 months - had to wear flip flops that whole winter - wasn't even a little happy about that.

I have a scar just behind my hairline from when I launched myself towards a dancefloor and hit the ceiling. Who the fuck puts a ceiling indoors anyway?

So you fell down, let's hear about it...

Post by Lush City »

I shared a couple years ago of how I came home drunk one Saturday nite knowing I would have to be at a funeral the following Thursday. I tripped on the last step going to my condo. Since I was carrying bottles of booze and beer, I kept my hands to my chest. My head then hit the stucco wall going down. It resulted in an ugly gash on my hairline on the right side area. That was football training at it's best.

This was a problem since I didn't want to give further proof to family that I was a total lush, I had to do something. So, I found out about and invested in Arnica Montanus herbal remedies. It was recommended by a trainer I had years ago for muscle pulls. I bought a kit with topical gel and sub lingual tabs. Applied the gel on the scabbed over hair line thanking the Lord no hair follicles were removed and took the tabs. By Thursday my wounds were unnoticeable and no one knew what had happened to me.

Let me hear your stories for better or for worse...
Found myself in the Matrix and took the red pill. Now I want the blue pill and my bottle and leave me alone.
