I only drank once this week

I'm quite proud of myself this week...in total I only drank once this week...ONCE...although that once was one hell of a drinking session.

It all started Friday night. We (me and Chris) rode our bikes into the city (takes abt 30-40mins or so). After watching the hour long fireworks display at Toyohira river (which make the Sydney NYE fireworks look like fire crackers) we head to a cinema to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2...despite what our American friends told us...they weren't screening any shows that night and we were told that the movie opens on Saturday...fair enough...left with nothing to do we went to eat dinner...Little Spoon...a decent curry house...after that we met up with the others (Brian, Cody, Yuji and this girl whose name I can't remember) and told them that we aren't watching a movie tonight. It was about 10pm or so right now. We kinda wondered the city a bit doin pretty much nothing until about 12am when the others left to take the last trains home. Me and Chris stayed in the city though...

This is where our night begins...we were still kinda hungry so we went to get more food...burger and chips...12.30am...wondering around Susukino looking for a bar to drink in...something different...I vowed only to have maybe 1 or 2 drinks before making the long ride home. We ended up checking out Rad Brothers II. Walked in...seemed to have a decent atmosphere. It was someone's b'day party. So we sit at the bar...order a drink each...bourbon and cokes...Chris starts flirting with the girl next to him. Order our second drinks...long island ice teas...nice...It seems the b'day boy...or one of the guests or something...was a Yakuza type dude...evident because of the tatoo he was sporting...nice guy...actually so far...I've found most of the gangsters I see around to be quite nice and polite...so long as you don't piss them off...you'll be fine...

Anyway...At about 1.30am or so...we were informed that if we paid ￥2000...we'd have a 飲み放題 (all you drink) until closing time...which was 6am..nice...I didn't want to...but seeing as I had already spent about ￥1200...and the fact that they allowed us to just pay the difference to get the 飲み放題...i figure why not...

And so...after that I had...another long island ice tea...2 moscow mules...3 tequila shots (or so I'm told...I only remember 1...)...2 whiskey shots...a vodka shot (or so I'm told...I can't remember that one) and 3 Kamikazes (again...I only remember skulling one of those)...

So we end up leaving at about 5.30...6am or so...I cant really remember because I was still blind drunk then. The sun comes up here at about 3.30-4am...which is damn annoying considering we always seem to leave the bars and stuff around about that time. And so...we ride home on our bikes...drunk as a skunk...a 40min ride thats mostly uphill with cars all over the place...that was fun. I was crashing into a few walls and poles on the way home...actually...I don't remember too much of the ride home. However, depsite the odds, I managed to actually make it home safely and passed out almost immediately...waking up at about 1pm with the biggest hangover I've had in a while...to meet up with everyone and go to Yuki's (Japanese friend) bbq party.
