What happened?

So last night was the start of Re:Freshers 2010. Meaning its our last freshers ever :( So to commemorate such a joyous occassion, Robbie, Stef and I decided to do long islands as a pre-drink. Stef's recipe called for rum, vodka, triple sec and gin. And because we didn't have anything to measure with, we just used the bottle caps. We poured 1 capful of Cointreau and decided that it was a pitiful looking attempt. So we decided to go for 2 capfuls. Our recipe for a lip-numbing drink is 2 x shots of gin, vodka, rum and Cointreau. Each. Oh and a dash of coke and a lemon for decoration.
We had 3 cups before heading out and while in line, we met Cathy, who dragged us over to her flat about 1 minute away and did shots of Jaeger there as well. Then ran back to the queue and got into the club. Got chatted up at the bar by some dude and who just basically plyed me with drinks. Everything afterwards just consisted of massive memory blanks at certain time. Frig.
Met up with Robbie for work and I have never seen him look that sick before. Actually I'm sure I have before. Apparently he had a meeting with his dissertation supervisor this morning (well it was 2, but as a student that equates to a morning) and he just spent that meeting staring at her like a zombie while she leaned slightly away from him due to the smell of booze oozing out of his pores.
We worked out while procrastinating at work that the last time Robbie was sick and felt this bad was in Slovenia. Where he was sleeping on the top bunk and had to run to the toilet to throw up. Three times. And the third time he was just hanging onto the toilet bowl, gagging while crying at the same time. This was when we started drinking at 9:30 in the morning for Stef's 21st because we misinterpreted a 'happy hour' sign. Rather than the cheap booze for sale between the times of 7:30AM to 10AM as we originally anticipated, it was actually for the coffee. Whoops. Should have realised that really!

Booze intake last night
The equivalent of 21 shots in 2 hours, 3 Jaeger shots and 6 double vodka oranges. HOW AM I NOT DEAD?!?!?
