lol. Im being serious :smile: I know it was due to the alcohol, but what was going on for that to happen, e.g. was something not functioning in the brain or something like that?

Alcohol affects everyone differently. Last night it affected your sence of balance, you tipped backwards and whereas you'd have normally corrected this without noticing you couldnt because of the alcohol.

I went out last night, drank 2 bottles of wine + 6 shots of vodka, needless to say i was drunk but thats not my point. Last night i was really ill even before i'd got to the club but i could still stand up straight, dance, walk in a straight line and hold a conversation. Drinking never affects my coordination at all or my speech drastically.

Alcohol does weird things to all of us :p:
