NASA officially banned consuming alcohol in space in 1972 after sherry was proposed for Skylab meals, but it never really went away. “NASA will tell you there is no alcohol aboard the ISS” says astronaut Clayton Anderson. “As a person who lived there for five months, I’ll tell you that’s bogus.”

Fruit punch was invented as an alternative to beer by men working for the British East India Company. This is because the beer on their ships went bad when they reached the Indian Ocean. They ended up using rum, fruit, and spices available in their new location to create punch.

A 25-year-old Polish man passed out after drinking too much vodka, and went into cardiac arrest. He was declared dead, and taken to the local morgue. When a guard heard noises, he opened the fridge and let the man out. After passing a medical check, he went back to the pub to rejoin his friends.

During the early years of the Tour de France, guzzling alarming amounts of alcohol was the norm. Beer, wine, and brandy were considered safer to drink than water from questionable roadside wells or springs, and cyclists drank copiously.

It’s a lesson all young people should learn before they start going to bars and parties where alcohol will be served: always keep your eye on your drink and never, ever take a drink from someone you don’t know.
I’ve heard way too many horror stories from people who had something slipped into their drinks and that’s when really bad things happen.
And a woman named Mell Hall took to TikTok to illustrate just how easy it is for someone to spike your drink. Hall shows a bunch of different examples on her video about how simple it is for predators and creeps out there to pull this off.

“I would have been happy if just one person would have walked away from watching this video and decided to be more vigilant and build safer habits for themselves.”
She added,
“To my surprise, it looks like millions of people are going to re-evaluate how they protect themselves and those around them!
People have been so generous in the comments and have jumped in to give personal anecdotes and share how they keep themselves safer when they go out.”
So, basically… you need to be VERY careful and MUCH MORE vigilant.

Watch Hall’s video very carefully and see how hard it is to even pick up on what she’s doing when she drops the kernels into the drinks.
It’s pretty scary how fast it happens.
@renaissancewomanhood Reply to @ivanp19 I feel really icky after doing that… even if it wasn’t real🥺 #besafeeveryone
Please remember to be vigilant and be extra careful when it comes to your drink when you’re out at bars or at parties. As Hall just showed us, it’s very easy to slip something in and a lot of people never notice…until it’s too late.
Have you ever had any experiences with someone trying to do this to you or a friend of yours in a bar before?
If so, tell us what happened in the comments.
We’d love to hear your stories. Please and thank you!

Wouldn’t it be awesome to be able to go to a bar and socialize and drink with your friends and some complete strangers?
And do it all WITHOUT A MASK?
Yes, it sounds great, but unfortunately, we don’t live in that kind of world at the moment.
So it looks like everyone will be drinking at home for the time being…and I have a feeling that you and many other people out there are going to be doing some drinking TONIGHT.
So enjoy these drinkin’ memes that we think will take the edge off.
It’s gonna be a long night…

Considered the greatest poet in Chinese literature, Li Bai dedicated to alcohol a good chunk of his poems and drunkeness due to his rampant alcoholism. Legend has that he drowned after drunkenly trying to embrace the moon’s reflection upon the river during a ferry-ride. Some of his classic poems on getting hammered are on the […]

There are many types of drunks out there. Some people are a lot of fun, some turn into absolute monsters, and others just fall onto the ground and becoming hysterical, sobbing disasters.
I can tell you what kind of drunk I am: I definitely loosen up and I like to laugh and have a good time. I definitely DO NOT get angry, which I can’t say for some other people I’ve known throughout my life.
AskReddit users got real and opened up about what kind of drunks they are.
“The rich kind.
I may be broke as hell and counting my cents earlier that day and waiting for a check, but when I pass a certain point in the evening I start paying shots and beers left and right like if I was a millionaire baby.”
“My general mood gets amplified.
If I’m happy, I get happier. If I’m sad, I get sadder, etc etc etc.”
“Drunk me makes elaborate plans to do things with people that sober me never follows through with.”
“I start out as a fun drunk and then i turn into an emotional and sad drunk.
Then i finish off as a philosophical drunk.”
“I’m typically a quiet, reserved sober that turns into a fun-loving, talkative drunk that wants to befriend everyone around them.”
“I start telling everyone how great they are and that they can definitely pursue their dreams.
Then… I get the munchies.”
“No one is more supportive and encouraging than drunk women in a public bathroom.
Seriously, I have both given and received some incredible compliments to total strangers.”
“The one who talks about life, death, and existence after two tequila shots.
Also, extremely horny.”
“Man.
I’m the worst.
I mean, I overshare sober. DrunkMe has no filter AT ALL. I mean, she’s hilarious. But I always wake up thinking “I said WHAT to WHO?!??!?!””
“Angry, violent and awful. I have an allergic reaction to alcohol that causes me to breakout in handcuffs.
I had nine years sober in April.”
“Happy, pleasantly dozy and distracted, but only temporarily as I’m using booze and drugs to numb things out to the point of black out and not remembering details the next day.
I realized I still have to wake up to the same shit the following day, so what’s the point?
Been sober for 56 days.”
“The “orders crazy shit online” kind of drunk.
So far, I’ve ordered grumpy cat leggings, an embroidery set, socks that make your legs look like chicken legs, the entire Harry Potter series in Dutch and Swedish (I speak neither language), concert tickets, a popcorn machine, a llama flower pot, countless pizzas, and more alcohol.”
“I’m get giggly and funny.
Unfortunately, the byproduct of this is I also get super insulting. I mean it be funny but not everyone shares my sense of humor. I know I have to shut it down when I start roasting everyone within earshot.”
“Hungry drunk.
Drunk me at the pub definitely means loads of oysters, wings and garlic bread will be consumed.”
“The really touchy kind, really huggy and lovey-dovey, which is weird because I rarely ever hug people.”
“Sad and angry, which tends to lead to violence.
I commented on something similar before and I got absolutely destroyed by people saying it’s my choice to be a sad angry drunk and that I’m just a pussy who wants to be hard.
I just want to be happy and not hurt people, which alcohol takes that choice away from me but apparently people seem to think it’s my decision to punch walls and cry about how much I hate my life.”
“Anyone who knows both sober and drunk me can definitely tell when I’m starting to get a buzz.
I suddenly become very chatty and before anyone knows it, I’m walking up to strangers and talking to them, making new friends that I’ll likely never see again.”
“I can go from witty and charming to extremely tired within a minute.”
Open and honest. That’s the way I like it.
Now we want to hear from the readers out there.
What kind of drunk are you?
