Which way do australians spin when too drunk?

I would assume it mostly depends on which hand you're holding your drink in.

 

urban myth

australian's don't notice a room spinning, we are generally passed out.

 

Truer words were never typed.

 

I've never found a room to spin either. Maybe Canadians and Australians are really long lost cousins?

I have, however, found rooms to suddenly become very sideways, a situation that is usually not remedied until the next morning.

I like the fact that however many times I get drunk and fall over, that first moment of horizontality always feels like it's not me that's suddenly moved at a 90 degree angle but the rest of the world.

 

One of the funniest thread titles I've ever seen. I think I'll have to make the room spin tonight.

 

when ive had far too much to drink, everything spins from left to right, but on an upwards angle.

When that happens, you know the day after is gonna suck. Even closing your eyes or laying down doesnt help, just as bad.

 

Downwards.

 

The alcohol-induced Coriolus Effect is more pronounced the further you get from the Equator.

 

In Texas, rooms spin, but farm roads go all sideways.

Found that out when I was 18, on NYE. I stopped and watched it be sideways for quite a while, and didn't drive any more until it was back horizontal again.

Cherie ;-)

 

I think it might be high time for a round of the Philosophers Drinking Song!!

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh

(pauses to take a breath)

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable
Heidegger Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Frederich Hegel
And Wittigenstein was a drunken swine
who was just as sloshed as Schelgel

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates himself was permanently pissed

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink therefore I am!!"

Yes Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

Yay!!

Rock on

Here's another question: Why does an underage kid from the USA care about the drinking habits of people half a world away?

 

yeah, underage kids thinking about booze, that never happens.

 

Whether it happens or not is beside the point.

The point is TB was not created to facilitate or enable this kind of behavior.

Right back at you.

 

A mildly amusing thread about the possible effects of drinking in the southern hemisphere isn't allowed in the off topic forum?

I had no idea...

 

What do you mean "isn't allowed"? The thread is here, isn't it?

 

Hey didn't I just post something in this thread?

 

Well, you're the mod and you just said that 'TB was not created to facilitate or enable this kind of behaviour', I assumed it was a precursor to closing the thread?

 

I saw nothing.
