I can do it just fine, and have avoided a few accidents by being overly aware of what other drivers are doing, to the point of watching how they inch a car forward at an intersection, the angle of their wheels, which direction the drivers are looking, and body language. I've braked for someone pulling out at a stop sign, because I could see that she was pulling out without looking my direction. I've slowed slightly because I saw someone making a left turn while unable to see me approaching, as the view to me would be blocked by other traffic. Various instances like that I think show that being really alert to as much as possible is a good thing.

I'm just saying that, as a new driver, the amount of goings-on around the car was a bit overwhelming.

Sounds like you had a *very* sheltered upbringing. Probably explains your post count too.

My post count per day is only twice what yours is. That's not too excessive.
As a baby, my mom didn't even take me shopping until I was about 5 weeks old. She was worried about anything happening to me. I also tended to shelter myself a lot. I didn't like going outside too much - airplanes flying over freaked me out because of the noise, I didn't like bug bites, poison ivy, or thorns in the summer, or the cold in the winter. I also wasn't especially sociable. I preferred interacting with adults because they weren't so damned childish, as my peers were. (You know, because they were children.)
I was never a risk taker, either, and I was always conscious of dangers.

Interesting. I love interacting with my son because then I can act like a child!
I wasn't very sheltered as a child. My parents told me I used to go out in the yard and eat dog shit Disgusting really. They said I used to pull the crap out of my diaper and smeer it all over the walls.

This thread just crossed the line from childhood memories into OMGWTFMAKEITSTOP.

Sure they are. But 44 shots would be nearly 2 liters, and even 25 shots would have been well over a liter. Most kids aren't THAT stupid. I'm amazed the kid didn't throw up or pass out much earlier.

QFT. I've never drank to the point where I'd slip into a coma... then again, I would've started throwing up after about 1/2 liter (been there, done that.)

Or.. maybe he drank the shots SO FAST that they didn't have enough time to hit the blood stream and cause a different reaction (pass out, not coma, or barf.)

There was something "special" about this kid. That's for sure.

Jesus Christ man! Sure you can live to 100, but what's the point when you miss out on everything that makes life worth living?

Sometime it's worth it to do something unhealthy and get away with it. Let loose, be immature and stupid. It's sort of fun from time to time and it's just life. I mean "you just don't want to die without a few scars do you?"

Sure I've experimented with weed a few times, ecstasy once, smoked cigarettes regularly for a year, binge drank for a while in high school and first semester of college, and I probably won't live long enough to outlive my eventual kids, riding a motorcycle as a commuter everyday, but those life experiences give you perspective and make life a bit more interesting.

Be sure to post when you finally get married . . . and then again when you finally lose your virginity.

He must have weighed 300lbs+ .
And certainly no way he knew what he was doing.
44 shots of tequila is almost 40oz.
Thats an awful lot to drink at one time.
Alcohol equivalent to about 38 12oz beers.

You're right. That kids family needs to be beaten for producing such a dumbass. They should have raised him better than that. And now the bartenders livelihood is in danger because of them and their stupid kid.

The stupid bartenders shoulder the majority of the blame.

I don't see how. They didn't drink way too much alcohol and die of their own stupidity.

I am going to glare in your general direction, and possibly bite my thumb at you.
What version of Fusetalk are we on? 3 or 4? Maybe by Fusetalk 10, you'll receive the anticipated update.

It wasn't so much that my parents prevented me from doing anything. I just never had the drive to do it. I didn't even splash in mud puddles. I'd get a suitable stick, and poke around cautiously, so as not to risk getting splashed. That was one other thing - as a baby, my mom had a "fun" time giving me a bath, because if so much as a drop of water happened to hit my face, I'd start screaming like it was a hot metal spike.

I don't got to parties.
At about age 4, maybe younger, a whole bunch of relatives were visiting for my birthday, and just a general family reunion. They all gathered around me at one point, with me stuck in a high chair, and started singing at me. I just about lost it and screamed at them all (repeatedly) to shut up. I didn't like crowds, loud noise, or being the center of attention like that. And it really pissed me off that they didn't stop when I was showing obvious discomfort. That's most of what I remember of that event, was just the anger. I was upset, telling them to stop, and most of them were just laughing.
And see, this was unusual for me. I knew that adults weren't ever to be told "shut up." Diplomacy had failed in that situation, and really, I just lost it.

Noise, crowds....no good for me. If there are multiple conversations at once, I can't filter just one out. It turns into a muddled mess of useless chattering. Loud music - no good. I'm more of the "quiet evening at home" sort, as if you hadn't guessed already.
But hey, that's good, right? It's not like you need Sir Buzz Killington crashing your party.

Maybe you did. I never had any concept of invincibility. I always had a presence of mind that said I was vulnerable to damage from any number of hazards. Even when it came time to learn to drive, I was hesitant. I didn't do it until I was 18, when my parents basically forced me to learn to drive. I was quite nervous about it. I'd never controlled anything so massive before, and certainly not at such high speeds. Then there were the multiple sources of incoming information to worry about - other vehicles moving around, road signs, traffic signals, controlling the car, etc. It was a quite daunting task to deal with, and I wanted no part of it. Even now that I've been driving for almost 8 years, I still don't really care for it.

On the subject of invincibility though, I did things that most people would freak out about. I once stripped the wires of a lamp cord to see how much of a spark I could get from an outlet by grazing the wires together. I think I might have been in 5th grade. I knew there was a breaker box, I knew not to force the wires together or else they might spot-weld themselves together and possibly heat up if the breaker wouldn't trip, and I surely knew not to touch any of the metal. BIG sparks. I only did it once though, partly out of the curiosity, partly because I didn't like the noise, and partly because it scared the hell out of my mom when she found out what I was doing. I didn't see any danger though, because I knew full well what not to touch, and that touching the metal parts would be a very bad thing.


People can

yeah well kids in general are dumb. they do thing even i at 20 would be cautious off. imo a nice paddling now and then usually manages to keep a certain caution in them untill they're grown enough.

anyway. stupid kid, but this kinda thing happens frequently (enough) whenever people drink in large quantities.

also not to mean or anything but, this is a classic example or darwin's laws.

They just kept serving a kid a ridiculous amount of alcohol. They're supposed to know when the customer's had enough and stop serving, even just by applying a basic amount of common sense. Instead they goaded him into drinking more.

Kids are stupid, we know that. These guys are criminally negligent.

 

[dsfunk]

that's amazing! I always pass out on the 43rd shot of tequilla.

 

[SampSon]

While the story may be true, the facts are not straight.
Gotta love journalistic glorification.

 

[brxndxn]

The only thing concrete that I got from that article is that journalists are fucking idiots.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Ok even if this guy was 21 in the US, that's ridiculous. You should be getting into some trouble as a bartender for that. I imagine lawsuits could occur with that.
