Alcohol Poisoning:

It's not just for white-collar professionals, bar scum, and homeless people any more.

Today is the last day of classes, also referred to as "bermuda shorts day" which is code for "drink yourself blind in public day." The space underneath my seat in Linguistics (an 11am class) was littered with several Kokanee cans and a small entourage of Black Label. A girl in the back row ran out of class suddenly to puke in the garbage can outside and the police (city police, not campus security) had to come because she blacked out after a minute of puking. When class ended she was conscious again, but was still throwing up intermittently into the garbage can while the police talked to her. A girl getting off the train had a bag from the local liquor store in one hand, shoes and an extra bra in the other.

Hot damn, I'm glad my day ends at noon.
