What the hell is a Sambuca gas chamber??

To quote another website:

The process is thus: take a tumbler (Whiskey glass) and place a shot of Sambuca in it

Light it and hold a wine glass over the top of the burning spirit so that you trap the vapours.

Then place a straw up inside the wine glass and inhale.

clubs: hmph. The Kambar is the classiest and plays the best music, Cindies/Ballare is the local meat-market, but I never go along. The others are all somewhere in between; overall it's a pretty disappointing scene. Niche bar is good on Tuesdays when three of my mates DJ there, choosing from a musical palette which consists mostly of minimal house and The Cramps (i.e. awesome).

Ale, Ale, Glorious Ale
Served up in pewter it tells its own tale,
Some folks like radishes
Some curleye kale
But give I boiled parsnips
And a great dish of taters
And a lump of fatty bacon
And a pint of good ale

When I was a young man my father did say,
Summer is coming and it's time to make hay.
Now when hay is carted don't you never fail.
To drink gaffer's health in a pint of good ale.

Now our MP's in parliament, our safety to keep
Now we hope now we put him there, he won't sit and sleep
But they'll all have my vote if they never fail
To keep down the price of a pint of good ale

Further destroyal: shotgunning and/or any other rapid cheap-beer consumption plan for people who can't/don't belch -- there will be like 45 minutes of horrible mouth-watering "oh god I think I might die" discomfort, following which you will go to the bathroom to barf, BARF AIR, and then suddenly feel A-OK again, which is not nearly as awesome a process as it sounds.

Anyway:

Search - Enormous crates of Netto beer lugged up the hill to campus.

Destroy - Anything involving snorting, yards of ale or sticking bottles up your arse before doing a handstand. The 'top shelf' (every shot on the bar in a pint glass and filled up with cider). Spending three days trying to work out whether or not you actually made it to the Freshers Ball before passing out in a bush covered in vomit. Anything involving creamy liquers that congeal when mixed with orange juice. Lying on the floor with a funnel in your mouth while people pour randomly-selected bottles into it. Any wine bought for less than three pounds in the campus shop. Any drinking game involving the 'shit in a urinal' forfeit.

And most of all, any 'drink til you drop' contests. If you start the evening agreeing to one of these, it has been scientifically proven you will end up crawling on ground in the back garden, being sick in your own shoes while a man in a cowboy hat, a Hawaiian shirt and a sarong urinates on you.

My friend Claire is a devil for getting a round of sambuca shots in, just as a little sharpener. Bless her.

Search: cheap Guinness on a Tuesday night in the college bar; resurrecting a defunct college society so you can use its entertainment grant to buy enough booze to drink yourself into poisoning; making friends with some well-off bloke who hates going to the bar so much that he would buy you drinks all night if you went and got them; blagging into college society events and drinking all the free sherry/fizzy wine.

Destroy: getting too drunk to go home and waking up on the floor of some manky student flat under your coat with your Docs still on. Rubbish.

OTM it is nasty stuff.

I say again.

A first-year business student on a golf initiation died near Timepiece late last term, you'll be... faintly horrified to hear.

That doesn't surprise or horrify me. It makes me sad for his family but that's really all...

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 26 January 2007 09:59 (nineteen years ago)

That's kind of my point. The drudging inevitability and blasé reaction to it are horrifying. A teenager drank himself to death in his first weeks at university. Student culture is all fucked up.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 26 January 2007 10:17 (nineteen years ago)

I blame the drink.

Has it always been this bad? I mean obviously I did some stupid things, and I wasn't the first, but is there an impetus, especially with student societies, to try and out-do the previous year?

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 26 January 2007 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

I myself never had a teddy called Aloysius or drank champagne in the morning. Historically they were obviously totally degenerates. I think we have improved somewhat!

omfg someone NEARLY died in Peterhouse last term at a drinking society initiation I should have been on! I was, however, in a play, so I missed the drama, but apparently the dude passed out and choked on his own vomit. they had to clear his throat and lungs, and he went without oxygen for long enough to make them fear he might have permanent brain damage (he didn't, and he's now fine). I take it the death at that golf thing was similar, except with the guy left to his own devices.

sambucca is good because you get to set it on fire no?

otherwise yeah, vile.

sadly, yes. it's exceptionally stupid. in my initiation the previous year three people were hospitalised and I myself passed out vomiting all over a) the table we were all sitting on and b) myself. nobody came close to death, however.

I drank a coffee made of stone and the roof of the world fell in

― Frozen Field and Fox (688), Friday, 26 January 2007 14:01 (nineteen years ago)

how is that outdoing the previous years?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 26 January 2007 14:06 (nineteen years ago)

The previous year he hadn't passed out vomiting all over a) the table b) himself? That's progress, surely?

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 26 January 2007 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

I take it the death at that golf thing was similar, except with the guy left to his own devices.

I don't think I ever noticed the results of the postmortem - if it's been announced, it's certainly not been mentioned in the student paper with as much space as the actual death itself - but I believe there was debate over whether it was a choke-on-your-own-vomit thing, or a failure-of-internal-organs thing.

His Myspace was full of pictures of him and his mates on big nights out. Which the Daily Mail or Express or something reported as DRINK DEATH STUDENT RAN DRINK-IS-GOOD WEBSITE or something.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 26 January 2007 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

only two people were hospitalised maybe

haha, my friend made a cocktail out of rumpleminze and vanilla soymilk in a fit of 3am desperation.
