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).

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.

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 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.
