Not really a bad story but it was a fucking awesome night nonetheless, best night out I've had so far in my life.
Here goes:
Went to Prague to see my dad and my baby brother back in December '06.. basically the economy out there is run on alcohol and tobacco so it's something ridiculous like 50 pence (when converted into British currency) a pint.
Basically, last night in town and went out with my family to the pub to just have a meal and drink a few beers.. yknow just the standard family procedure.. well me and my uncle (he's only 22) ended up drinking 9 pints in that pub and 3 doubles of this 'medicinial' (wtf) drink called Beckerovka (even my fucking nan downed 3 of these.. I was amazed at it). Yeah, well, basically my whole family got trashed at the pub, and we left around 9ish (we only went there at about 6-7) after saying goodbye to my dad and his girlfriend. Got close to the hotel we were staying it and (I was expecting it anyway) just hear my uncle say 'right, let's go'. Nan says 'yeah don't be back too late don't get too hammered blablabla' all that shit that she knew we wouldn't pay the slightest bit of attention to, and we certainly didn't.
Hit the first bar at 9:30.. after being harassed by some random black geezer to come into a strip joint (festering with STD's no doubt).. he actually grabbed me on the shoulder and said 'no.. you come in now!'.. I just fucking laughed at him and went to the bar about 20 yards down the road. Got in and it wasn't too busy, it was like some kind of nightclub/bar hybrid that had a load of trance music playing in the background.. anyway, met some Belgians and ordered another round in (I was totally wankered by this time anyway).. same again.. same again.. smoke about 20 ciggies in 10 minutes.. another round etc etc. Told my uncle and the Belgians I was just going to the toilet.. anyway, on my way there I spot some Koreans and in my drunken state I automatically assume 'STARCRAFT FANS!'. Rush over to find out they do not speak a single word of English, but nevertheless recite words such as 'Starcraft' and 'Warcraft' to them, which they understood and approved of (actually, they didn't approve of Warcraft but they loved the SC reference). Anyway, have a couple of glasses of their whiskey and just sit their chatting absolute bollocks to them (I'm assuming) for about 10 minutes until the others come round the corner and tell me we're going to another bar. Whatever, I just follow along (but not before the main SC fan can give me a bit of paper with his MSN contact details on it... hahahaha).
Second bar - Don't have a fucking clue what the time is. Stumble in and hit the toilet and buy a pack of ciggies right away, only to come out of the toilets and find 3 good looking young Czech girls sitting around a table. Considering I am at least 6 years younger than them, probably the worst attempt at trying to chat up some girls ever (also considering they didn't speak a fucking word of English either).. so I sat there for a bit and talked bollocks yadayadayada same story but I see my uncle and the Belgian dudes sitting around a table with about 6-7 other people. People, I think; jackpot. Stumble my way over and start drinking the pint that's been ordered for me.. yeahyeah get talking with some guy that's telling me about how he left the mother of his child and whatever.. hahaha so funny now I think back. Anyway, get up on the dancefloor (attempting to go buy another pack of ciggies or go to the toilet.. I must have been trying to go somewhere) but some 35+ year old woman (dressed like a complete hooker) starts dancing with me.. I was too drunk to even move in any kind of rythym and she just fucked off after multiple attempts to try and get me dancing. Yeah well, go get another pack of fags or whatever I was going to do and come back only to see my uncle ordering a round of double absinthe's. Fucking excellent. I had been looking forward to that since I came to Prague. Anyways.. do the absinthe (absolutely fucking annihilated me) then we just randomly leave the club (I have no real recollection of saying bye to anyone, even though the Belgians were fucking awesome dudes).. anyway, get outside and, we must have taken a wrong turning or something because we end up jogging around Prague for an hour (maybe more?) trying to find out hotel (only to run into a hooker that jacks a load of cash out my pocket and my uncle's phone out of his. Fucking whore). Jogging across the road and I just projectile hurl into the air.. that was unexpected.. get halfway down the street and it happens again.. sit down and get something to eat from a stand (it's about 4am and they are open..).. hurl again. Well.. FINALLY get back at about 5am and just crash out in the corridor because I forgot the key to our room. Fucking awesome night, what I can remember of it.
Yeah I know that's one long motherfucking story, but I just love retelling it.. it is by far the best night I have ever had out and I plan on doing it again with some friends.. just thinking about it now brings a tear to my eye :').
Oh I think my total amount drunk was something like:
15 pints
3 doubles of beckerovka
1 double of absinthe (satan in liquid form)
Oh yeah, and ever since then, my liver has been weakened considerabely.. I pulled a cardinal sin on my liver that night and it has never forgiven me for it.. ;(.
