dropped to 32 degrees last night, was out for my birthday and got massively drunk. Paramedics were called and took the temperature. Pretty scary stuff, considering i can't remember anything. My mates sorted it all out thankfully otherwise i would have been a goner.

Where did they stick the thermometer?

Strangely enough I was thinking about this very subject when I was out in the snow today. What did they do to warm you up?
 
Is this an isolated incident? I know a young boy who has problems with the hyperthalamus (spelling?) and his normal body temperature is much lower than normal all of the time. He has other health problems and is a very sick boy. I did a canal walk to help raise money for his charity.

If I ever got myself so drunk I needed the NHS to sort me out, I'd most likely keep quiet about it.

Lol someone spiked my drink with some shots, and it was not me who called them, my parents did. Cheers for the lovely message though.

Somehow I think I might notice if somebody spiked my drinks with extra alcohol.....unless I was already too pissed to notice.....

Alcohol and cold is a killer combination. It will be the way I shall do it when I get the cancer or the alzheimer's diagnosis. Go out somewhere cold, undress, get very cold and then neck a bottle of scotch.... alcohol vaso-dilates the blood vessels, cold surface blood is exchanged with warm core blood.... wallop, you're dead. It used to happen to trawlermen who were hauled out of the sea and given a reviving nip, they would drop dead in the lifeboat, until somebody realised what was happening.

Back when I performed in the Magistrates Court, drivers were always saying "I didn't realise I was affected from the 10 pints I had the night before". Maybe that was why they still felt crap and couldn't avoid a parked car?

Getting 'massively drunk' isn't big and it isn't clever. I find it best to keep it to once a decade.

So it wasn't your fault, a big boy did it and then ran away? Your parents must have been so proud...

Well i've never thought of my friends as 'big boys' but if thats what you call the, then yes they did it. Was told yesterday, i was already quite drunk (don't consider it a disgraceful thing to do on your 21st birthday if i'm honest) and was on the real ale for some reason, each pint i was on they slipped two shots of vodka in. But yes it was completely my own fault, but would have definitely gone slower if i had known each drink was 4 units.

As for my parents, they were expecting me to be drunk, not worried about that, just the hypothermia which was a concern...

Oh and thank you to the people who responded in a polite manor, i appreciate it.
As for those who seem to be shocked and disgusted people get drunk on their 21st birthday, then you just provided me with the exact responses i was expecting to receive from this place! I bet none of you have ever been drunk before, if so, please go back to reading the Guardian.
