I have a go at the barman at WhyNot ( club in edinburgh ) as he was doing a "promotion" that if you managed to throw a pound coin into what was a wine bottle cooler filled with water with a lemon in it and get it to balance on the lemon, you win some shots or something. I told him that it's pretty much impossible. About 6 shots of tequila later, I lose memory.
And that's where my fucked up night begins.
I have flashes of memory - I vaguely remember walking on school grounds and trying to jump over one of the fences, I also vaguely remember jumping over loads of people's garden walls , I remember being in some posh housing estate, running up some random hill, arriving at Edinburgh Napier university buildings, and then walking along a long-ass road back into the centre of ediburgh.
Why was I on school grounds? Why was I in some bloody housing estate? Was I getting chased? Why did I leave the club? So many unaswered qeustions - ones that will never be answered.
Photo my flatmate took when I walked into the flat. I'm a complete mess. My face is completely grazed and think I have a black eye, my hands are ruined, legs hurt like mad, feet blistered... and I haven't slept at all.
I managed to take a video ( why, I have no idea ) when it started to become daylight again, passing a morrisons. ( https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201350617679012&l=6960608814893549845 if you are curious )
I was looking on google maps and couldn't find this hill I was walking up nor the houses I was running through, however a mate told me the video above was taken near somewhere called Hunter's Tryst - I looked it up on google maps.
At the very top of the map is george street, the street Why Not is on. To the right of that and down a bit (Near where it says Opium) is my halls of residence.
The red circle is the area the video was taken.
Why on earth was I that far away from edinburgh?
Moral of the story is, never drink snakebites, strongbow, and then copius amounts of tequila and sambucca

But also never remembered.
That's a hell of a way to go by foot, though.
That's a good night, and hey, you got some of it on video too!
And cars and shit man.
/me waits for Archie to show up
Considering the signposting here isn't great, and that it was dark and I would have been too drunk to read any of them anyway, and also considering that no taxi driver in the country would let me ride for free, I have absolutely no idea how I ended up back in my bed.
Drunk nights are weird, but it sounds like yours was a lot more interesting than mine.
In both cases I will assume it was aliens.
16 is way too early.
Pint Snakebite made with carling & strongbow ( tasted like complete dick ), 2 litres of strongbow. This was over 2 hours so it wasn't that bad.
The minute I Walked into why not I must've had one shot of tequila, then I had two shots of tequila after that, two shots of sambucca after that, and then god knows how many until I ended up in the middle of nowhere
Always make sure you eat before drinking like this, and if u can't eat, pounding a litre of water just before will help
Great blackout-drunk story btw! KIDS, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME =P
I genuinely don't think this was a case of me just being drunk, because drunken me does not have the energy to run 5 miles and jump over people's fences. Drunk me collapses into a heap, as archie may also remember from september. I swear to god I got slipped an eccy or some shit
After rereading your account, that seems to be a pretty extreme blackout adventure off only 7 shots of tequila. (don't get me wrong 7 shots is a lot, but doesn't account for all that!)
