This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Why not try butt chugging by RJD

The Enema Within

This is actually a fairly famous Darwin award and something that should stop anyone reading this from ever “butt chugging” either again in their future. If you’re not familiar, butt-chugging is the act of ingesting alcohol through one’s lower intestine, namely by either taking an alcohol enema or even soaking a tampon in alcohol and … sitting on it.

The problem is that the lower intestine is a direct shot to the bloodstream, and people tend to get extremely wasted (or dead) from butt-chugging. This award goes out to an alcoholic in Texas who wasn’t the type to butt-chug normally, but was “forced” to imbibe his booze that way after a throat injury made it too painful for him to swallow.

His wife had the perfect solution, though, a wine enema! After the first try this Texan was hooked and was soon begging his wife to stick tubes up his butt while he laid prone and got absolutely blotto.

On his last night of chugging, he actually had over 100 fluid ounces (two 1.5 litres of sherry) in his colon. While most people would pass out and thus save themselves from alcohol poisoning, after he passed out he ended up absorbing the rest of that booze.

According to toxicology reports he had a blood alcohol level of almost .5, which is typically the threshold for death (with .4 being the threshold for a coma).
