The want of alcohol is the root of all evil.

It’s a matter of stamina, more than dosage. Get yourself fucked up enough all at once and you’ll fall down. But go on a three-day bender and, at the end, you’ll still be able to stagger, but your brain will be totally fucked.

As self-punishment goes this is relatively benign. But it hurts to think of the whirlpool of loathing he was walking through.

Happened to a mate of mine the other day. He either couldn’t speak or couldn’t remember his address (where he’s lived for 33 years) to tell the cab driver but somehow ended up in his own bed.

Out of all the drugs I’ve tried, I can’t think of one you could dose me up on that would confuse me this much before I could no longer stand.

I think this was created so a bank could advertise at me about how non-sociopathic it is. I feel sad: that was my first embedded ad. I don’t watch ads on internet videos. Life is too short. Videos aren’t that good. And it’s just so unfathomably stupid. Interruptive advertising and digital media go together like horse shit and teleportation. Please don’t feed the broadcasters.

Actually, I’d go for a bigger problem with the stop button than, “he’s going to go flying”.

That is, he’s clearly a danger to himself, and possibly others, and what happens if he does make it up the escalator (which, pushing the stop button would allow him to do), and continues to wherever he’s going?

Physically grabbing him and taking him off the escalator (or calling the police and having them do it) was the right thing to do IMO.

He could just be fucking with people. Don’t tell me none of you have ever done this.

no matter how blind drunk you are, there is some ancient part of the brain that will get you home

Often known as the 'beer scooter'.

Me thinks this is a actor for a hidden camera show?

Plausible explanation.

He looks like a Japanese businessman, or salaryman. In that case, just normal behaviour after a nomikai

In a blackout. Not laying down any memories of what has been happening, just keeping moving forward towards the goal like a zombie.

Like when I was in an unfamiliar town trying to walk back to my hotel and instead woke up on a rock in the middle of a state park. I later reconstructed that I just kept walking past the hotel on the same street the whole time, and when the street ended at a “city overlook” trailhead I continued walking on the hiking trail. When the trail ended I hopped a fence and continued towards the city in the distance. Always heading for my Hotel California.

Neither, at least not any more. Wikipedia claims its the third longest in Europe, behind Helsinki and Stockholm, both of which are found in subways.

Not even the longest in Europe any more… I think there’s one in Sweden that’s longer. And Moscow has super insanely deep subways that might have the actual longest now.

I’ve had nights in London where I’ve had only sparse memories of getting back home. On my bicycle.

I have an essential tremor. My fine motor control gets better after a couple of cocktails.

Hate to admit it, but unless I’m ill with something else I could easily do this drunk. I’m not bragging, especially about being a drunk, but I just am good on my feet.

There have been plenty of times I’ve had the spins so badly I know I should be down for the count.. and yet the stairs affect me not.

At least it’s not the Angel station. (World’s longest escalator….subways, or anywhere, not sure which.)
