When is it a bender?

Drank the first half of a bottle of whiskey (Woodford Reserve! Who could resist?) last night, and am well into the second half. But I slept for a good 12 hours in between. I was hardly even hungover when I woke up. So, I'm wondering: what are the official boundaries of a bender? What is the difference between a bender and just, you know, the weekend?

It's allowable to pass out/fall asleep, I think, as long as you don't sober up upon rising. One still has to get SOME sleep and some food in order to go on. Otherwise we wd all be dead.

Ok so remy may have a point...what of the quality of youtube consumed in between jello shooters? Personally it has been nothing but "Pure Imagination" and Harry Nilsson...

Also, re: sobering up: whats-the-face has a point. As a fan of sleeping forever and ever, I feel that it really hinges on the choice of morning (afternoon) beverages. Coffee suggests a deep-seated inclination to straighten up and fly right. Beer is a commitment to the death of civilization. Unless you are out of booze, in which case it is a crap shoot.

Umm...sorry for the incoherence, but jaxon: It was Woody Allen, actually.
