sad day, but their legend lives on. Pardon the ignorance, but what did he die of. I don't think i've ever heard of the cause.

[graywolf624]

Choke on his own vomit.

[Toronto]

^^^ yes, he had 35-40 shots @ a bar.
walked over to page's house slept the wrong way up.
same way hendrix (sleeping pills) and bon scott (whisky) died.

Bonzo was known to hold his alcohol better then anyone in the group

[ZfrkS62]

what a shitty way to go :(

[SFDMALEX]

thats the reason why when hammered before I go to sleep I force my self to vomit :wink:

[gangajas]

Bonzo is one of the greatest, maybe he was not the most technical drummer but he was a force of the nature

41 shots

22 is enough to kill virtually anybody...
RIP Bohnam, easily the most influential drummer ever, in the greatest band ever.

mmmm... Depends on what your drinking and how much you weigh.

With out saying anything incriminating Ill say hypothetically I've seen more then 1 person drink 25 and not even vomit... Then again they were in their college years when liquer was so much easier to handle. As you get older it seems like you get drunk off less and less. That and you don't care to drink that much even if you could.

incriminating?

yes, this is very true... hell, ive had more then 22 (how many shots does a 1/5th hold? ive polished off all but 2 shots of a 1/5th my second year)

it also depends on how quickly you drink em.
ive had much less and puked because i drank too quickly :lol:

[graywolf624]

incriminating?
For professional reasons I generally avoid making statements about things like that. Could come back to bite you in the ass if you ever run for a upper level job or political position.. Not that Ill do either but ya never know.

25.x shots. Given you use a real shot and not something more or less.

last time i checked; prohabition ended 80 or so years ago ;) Ted is quite the affluent drinker, among many other politicians

[graywolf624]

Im better then Ted.. and mommy and daddy aren't rich, so I cant buy my way out of illegal acts. ;)

Proabition ended 80 years ago, but drinking high levels of alcohol and admiting it online is something that doesnt go over too well in the professional world. Im starting to learn the hardway that its not what you know its who.. And Im not risking anything.

Some large companies pay to find things associated with people they hire.

well, that makes me very glad my buisness world has 0 associations with my hobbies (no crossover in login names/email address/passwords)

speaking of 'who you know' one of my friends i graduated HS with is on the fast track... and it will never matter that shes brilliant; since she is the most beautiful girl ive ever known... simply perfect 10. she had 0 wait time in between any job she's had, mabey not directly 'who you know' but definately not what you know either.

i wouldn't be suprised to see her on the cover of forbes in 15 years time.

[graywolf624]

Sadly that is 100 percent true.

I personally don't brown nose cause I have ethics. I'm trying the harder route. That is I volunteer for the most visible shit jobs and exceed expectations. Its not my abilities getting me jobs, but rather my bosses realizing I get things done (reputation, getting noticed, and all that). In a way its what I know, but its still not really based on my knowledge (as proven by my current job, which I have no experience in yet I will make damn sure I'm the best at). Without getting on highly visible projects I'd get no where.

Don Vito took 50 shots and chugged at least one beer. Of course he puked his guts out later, but he survived :lol:
