It's the stuff you clean contact lenses in.

You people are weird, switch to 1-day contact lenses dammit. That's what I use, I can sleep with them and change them any time I want without all that other crap.

I cannot count the amount of times I've lost contact lenses. It would cost a fortune using 2 week or 1 month lenses.

Snorting alcohol. It's okay with some spirits, don't do it with thicker liquids how ever... you'll regret it.

EDI: Okay... V o d k a, now filters into Lemonade :killingme:

My eyes don't let me wear contacts either. But yeah, I don't mind - glasses are way easier to manage.

The ultimate snorting substance - wasabi. It's fairly hard to do, but stings like a mofo.

So, rookie mistake:
- accepting a drunken dare of snorting wasabi

Also,
- accepting a bet for $50 that you couldn't finish a double pounder in 10 bites. Payed for that one for days...

A double pounder, I'm guessing this wasn't a McDonalds burger but a kilo of meat in a burger bun. If you did that and won you have my admiration.

My admiration is for the burger...

*Make deals with the mob

*Read all your life so you end up with glasses (personal experience)

*Forget to clear your browser history (you read me?)

*Call someone with red hair a "ranga"

Taking photos while holding a full glass, especially if you're already drunk.

"Hey, chill, could you take a photo of us?"
"Sure, why not, how do you turn this damn thing, oh like this, allrightGODDAMN FUCK IT."

Will agree snorting whisky was bad but manageable. Absinth on the other hand was maybe a mistake.

Also keeping up with the heaviest drinker you know in a drinking competition where we managed the equivalent to 12 pints in about 50 mins that was a very messy night.

Also doing a PhD just don't.

Opening small glass bottles filled with pathogenic bacteria with a monkey wrench also foolish.

I stand corrected...mostly, but my dear friend V is the exception alongside that geezer in Desperados.

Hmmm...

I'm active in ways that glasses would hinder me. Heading a soccer ball, grappling, doing construction work around the house etc. Maybe they'd work for the more sedate people out there, but I'm never going back.

I've long since switched over to daily disposable contacts. They're a blessing from the gods.

Rookie mistake #472 - When a woman asks you "So which top/dress do you like - this one... or this?", do not reply "What else you got?" Damn booze making my mental filter dissolve...

Instead, reply "What's the mood for tonight?" and that'll get you a long way towards offering legit advice.
