Last Friday night, I went drinking with my friends to celebrate the end of the 40-hour workweek. With the assistance of free sake and Asahi beer, I was buzzed by 10 PM, couldn’t feel my face by 12:30 AM, and was on top of the world by 1. Admittedly, I drank more than I usually do, but not too much. By the end of the night I was feeling pretty good/pleasantly drunk.
As the evening started to wind down at a friend’s house, I was offered to smoke some weed out of a bong. I love bongs. They remind me of college. Not only that, but getting high makes sleep just that much better, so I said, “Yes, please,” and took a huge rip.
It wasn’t until 10 minutes later, while trying to nod off watching Borat that I felt the room begin to spin. The bong hit fucked me! I tried to keep my composure, but all I really wanted to do was throw up. Thankfully, I didn’t go down in flames as my friend suggested to leave and go eat some breakfast. Hash browns and toast always make me feel better.
This wasn’t the first time a bong rip (while drunk) has screwed me over. Last year, while partying with a bunch of hot male prospects, I was offered to smoke out of this guy’s 3 ft. bong. I thought, “Great, I’m going to get stoned and make-out with a good looking man of my choosing.” I took a large hit like a champ, but soon thereafter was holding onto the couch to stop my vertigo. No kissing, just dry heaving allll nigghht long.
Does a drunk bong hit make anyone else sick? Am I just weak sauce? Does weed after liquor make one that much sicker?

Oh it makes me sick. So sick the morning after I think I may die and wonder at when I should ask a roomie to drive me to the ER.
Usually people who have "waterpipes" are regular tokers and have steely lungs to handle it. While it evoke memories of yesteryear, it isn't like riding a bike where your body will just remember how to handle it. It's fun to cap off a night of drinking with a little smoke, but if you're not blazing up on a regular basis just keep it simple with a pipe or joint. Or you could just ease off of the Cheech & Chong rips and take in what's comfortable. There's no shame. Not everyone's Snoop Dogg.
That makes everyone sick except career stners. Please LEARN from this one.
Somene needs to come up with a rhyme for this I guess..."Bong after sake makes one go "Bluuuuuuuueerghky" ....or something
i can vouch that after a night of drinking, a bonger will send most everyone "over the edge"
but in all fairness, when drinking heavy it doesn't take much of anything to get sent too far.
I'm a very regular stoner, and I get drunk almost every weekend night (and a few wednesdays, to get me through the week). Last week I got pretty hammered, then took a massive hit off of my buddy's new three-foot-multi-chambered-ice-holder-superbong and nearly passed out. I called it a night, and woke up eight hours later still pretty buzzed. Come to think of it, it was really fun. woo weed!
Yeah, depending on how much I've drank, a fat bongload has the potential to ring my bell like nobody's business. It's a fine line.
I'm what you would call a pothead, so I take the green in any form usually--pipe, J, bong, hookah, blunt (my personal favorite; makes me feel like Snoop Dogg), hollowed out cigarette, Taco Bell BRC, whatever. My point is, that being said, I am usually the one that's smoking instead of drinking, and every time I decide to do both I either pass out right away, or throw up until sometime in the afternoon the next day. Now, I thought that it was just because I'm a smoker, not a drinker. But you proved otherwise. So Ape (can I call ya Ape?), this Bud's hit's for you.
Mixing weed and booze never bothered me, but my worst experience has to be after sharing a joint, then bumming a cigarette - a Lark - that was so strong it sent me way over the edge. I was totally paralyzed.
This happened a party thrown by the parents of my girlfriend at the time. :(

being drunk + weed = one way ticket to barfsville for me.
one time, when i was on tour with my old band a few years ago, the booze + weed combo platter made me hurl with such fervor and intensity that i burst a blood vessel in my right eye and ended up rocking the marilyn manson eye for the rest of the tour.
hey cmackenz, can i hang out with your friend with the superbong? it sounds amazing.
yeah, booze + weed, no thanks! and then there was the time I ate a large bright green brownie and had to get in a clawfoot bathtub and hold on for dear life for about 6 hours
For me, thats one hella great night. I usually use waterpipes though; joints, blunts, bongs, etc. just don't work for me if I'm drunk. I also get the worst cottonmouth if I drink and smoke, which just makes me drink more, and then leads to waking up in strange beds with different people.
Now booze + weed + cigars = hell on earth with angry lungs!
No smoking after drinking EVER! But drinking after smoking is OK if you nurse it.
you guys are all a bunch of wusses.
I call it "Going To The Darkside." I trained my body to be able to do this while in college after many nights being nursed by friends who pitied me. As a rule, what jbj wrote is true: drinks after smoking must be nursed, whether it's a joint, a blunt, or a bong hit.
BTW, has anyone gone to the darkside by comsuming any MJ-laced edibles?
I had a baaaad popcorn experience.
Ask any college student spoon and they will tell you...
You drink you smoke you choke, you smoke you drink you think
...makes perfect sense if you've ever been in the situation =)
