About as epic as real life gets. Nice escape man, congratz on finding your car
Ethan Reed
Definitely a retarded genius. And absolutely wasted does not equal functioning alcoholic
Leo Nelson
8/10 nice m8
Oliver Barnes
That was fucking genius
Benjamin Stewart
Wouldn't go as far as genius but bretty gud thinking if you were as fucked up as you say you were. I like it OP.
Brayden Myers
The good news is I'd doubt anyone in a sober state of mind would think of sleeping in the trunk, however the bad news is your dumb-fuckery got yourself in that pitiful state.
Also are you trying to kill yourself by mixing that many drinks? At a bar keep it simple stupid. Should've been gin and tonic all night.
Ryan Price
Bravo, loved it.
Jackson Cooper
How did you get out of the trunk tho? (pic unrelated)
Xavier Scott
Probably the safety release
Christian Rodriguez
There is a little glow in the dark plastic piece connected to a metal wire that is the trunk release. Good thing it was there otherwise I would have been totally fucked.
Jordan Scott
There's a trunk release on the inside of every car's trunk since like the 80s
Joseph Lewis
You left out the part where you woke up in a puddle of piss and sweat, gasping in the stale fetid air.
Kevin Powell
I believe the definition of functioning alcoholic is just that you you still go to work and maintain obligations. It doesn't have anything to do with the quantity.
Asher Parker
(disclaimer I'm a different user than the one you responded to)
I didn't know about the safety release but assumed he had a trunk button on his keys. Wouldn't that have worked as well?
Lincoln Jones
I'd always heard it used to describe the people that do stuff like drink in the morning and are still able to work and drive even though they're drunk
Ian Garcia
Yes, but less likely because fewer vehicles have them.
Gabriel Sanchez
That should work too, as long as he's actually got a trunk button on his keys. Like my car has manual locks so I've got no buttons I can press
Jose Peterson
So I'm guessing the consensus is genius. At least I'm going to think that so I feel like less of a retard. Thanks Sup Forums.
Isaiah James
I'm not from Murrica. Why would the police arrest you for drinking?
Ayden Sullivan
Look up public intoxication, really the bar tender was supposed to stop giving him drinks before he got too drunk.
Jose Cooper
If you're overly intoxicated police can arrest you as soon as you exit a bar (I think this applies to almost every state).
Lucas Evans
And some bars are also obligated to call an ambulance if someone vomits after drinking too much. Can't have anyone dying from alcohol poisoning on their premises
Blake Taylor
Yep, placed was packed that night so bar tender was hardly paying attention. If it was a slow night he would have noticed I was hammered after the AMF and Long Island Iced Tea
Nolan Bell
????WHY??? Why this law even exists?
>Go to bar >Drink a lot >The bar is making money >Get super drunk >Barman kick me out >Barman call the police >Get arrested (???) >Bar lose money >???
Caleb Reed
It's one of those Puritan things Americans have clung onto. Google "blue laws"
Anthony Young
In america "Public Intoxication" is a crime.
I have personally witnessed police hanging out outside of bars and when someone walks outside for a cigarette (city ordnance bans smoking in bars, ffs), they round them up like cattle and take them to jail.
Even with a designated driver. Even with an escort I've seen police arrest people for simply being drunk in a public area. It's absurd, but that's the law. It's especially bad in little rural areas because the cops don't have anything better to do than be dickheads.
Jose Young
Drunk genius.
Also find a new bar or go back to drinking at home or find some buddies to get shitfaced with.
Liam Nguyen
That's just the tip of the iceberg, son. The Age of Consent Laws, as well as a shitton of other relics of puritan cultists exist all over the country. Most aren't enforced, like, in my state Sodomy is illegal. Also Orgies are illegal, and they are defined as X number of people with no socks on in a room, etc. absurd shit.
Hunter Harris
Age of Consent at least has a valid reason though. Some states are a bit crazy with how strict they are (California), but it makes sense to have some age of consent
Isaiah Perry
Anti-sodomy laws were all struck down back in 2003 or so. Thing is these laws remain on the books completely unenforceable and void. You have all the red states prohibiting same sex marriage with constitutional amendments that got voided.
Luke Robinson
That's bullshit. We already have rape laws, abuse laws, all kinds of fucking laws. AoC is just some fucking bullshit that got some bible thumping fucktard elected somewhere for pandering to his belligerent puritan constituency and that's why they exist.
Ryan Martinez
What voided constitutional amendment are you talking about?
Camden Davis
State constitutional laws, check nc for reference. NC fag here, our legislation got all huffy and passed an amendment banning same sex marriage that was voided later
