Heh, no offense, but perhaps you haven't been drunk enough to make this kind of judgment? Which isn't a bad thing, whatsoever... (it'd be nice to have never experienced a hangover, personally). But yeah, if extreme amounts of alcohol can be said to do anything (other than poisoning your liver and entire body for 24 hours), it's robbing people of their good judgment and common sense. That is, their reason and responsibility.

I didn't stick around long enough to find out how hungover the guy was, but I can tell you that I had one hell of a hangover for 24 hours after the fact. At times I've wondered if someone put something in one of my many drinks that night... entirely possible. Perhaps the guy himself did it, which could account for what knocked me on my ass, mentally, for 8 hours straight (for me, it's hard to believe that alcohol alone could black me out for that long... my longest blackouts in safer circumstances were an hour or two, at most). But again, no one will ever really know.

Btw... on the drinking and driving point. I never said the guy was not guilty. Nor did I ever say that I deserved what happened. Those things are undisputed. All I am saying is that I was not 100% a victim. That much, I know, is true. Maybe it's for my own sanity to believe that, but it's what's in my head.
