The sexiest man you've ever met.
Congratulations, Flash Gordon, you wasted an entire day, made fun of your roommate's fibromyalgia, and threw up on your couch. How about for your next trick you go lay down in front of an oncoming cargo train, ass hole.

#agrees 100% with this.
I usually start drinking at 10:00 PM. That way, everyone expects you to be drunk. ::note, is currently drunk off her tits::
Unrelated to this blog post, "Spring is Dumb" is one of my favorite fics. I might also be very drunk. It doesn't change my opinion on the aforementioned fic.
You can't be a writer unless you have an awkward relationship with alcohol. It's like, a law. I'm sure Poe blew chunks on his couch all the time.

I don't drink at all.
I have used it for cleaning lab equipment, though. Nothing like using lab-grade ethanol for cleaning up ink.
2431564 So THAT'S the secret!
Time to be an asshole to my kidneys then.

Thanks! I'm sure my stories only get more enjoyable while intoxicated.

Then it is clearly my duty as a writer to make all the same mistakes again tomorrow.

This lab-grade ethanol you speak of, is it safe for consumption?
2434070
Not unless you like benzene.

You mean that unregulated cancer causing agent that's added to soft drinks? Who doesn't like it?

Lab-grade ethanol is also frequently denatured, usually with methanol.
I mean, drinking a little bit of it probably wouldn't kill you. Burn like hell, I'm sure.
2434224
Well, duh. What'd be the point if it didn't?
What is the absolute upper limit that won't kill you if consumed? Because that's important.

Depends on what kind of lab-grade ethanol you got. This is about as pure as you can get, and is 99.5% ethanol and, supposedly, only has 100 ppm of methanol in it; you go permanently blind at about 10 mL of methanol, though I'm not sure at what point toxic effects start to set in. That stuff, you could easily drink a couple shot glasses full of the stuff without suffering any ill effects from the methanol - that would be less than 0.1mL of methanol, which isn't enough to kill you. One shot glass full of the stuff would put you over the legal limit; two would get you quite thoroughly plastered. Most likely, the real danger with that stuff would not be from the methanol but the ethanol; you'd die of ethanol poisoning long before you died of methanol poisoning at that concentration, though drinking it regularly would probably be deleterious for your health. The benzene in there isn't exactly good times, though; the stuff is 2ppm benzene, which doesn't sound like a whole lot, but the drinking water standard for benzene is 5parts per billion, meaning that you're imbibing something with roughly 400 times the maximum allowable concentration of benzene in a food product. On the other hand, you aren't drinking very much of the stuff - the LD50 is 930 mg/kg of body weight, and in two shot glasses worth of the stuff (88 mL, roughly), the amount of benzene would be negligible in terms of acute toxicity, though, again, long-term use of the stuff would probably have deleterious impacts on your health.
On the other hand, if you only got 95% pure stuff, that would have more than 4 mL of methanol (or IPA, depending on what they used to denature it) in two shot glasses worth, which would be more than enough to start experiencing some very unpleasant toxic effects.
If you really wanted super pure alcohol, you could go for pharmaceutical grade ethanol, which is used for compounding medication; that is, obviously, not denatured at all, though ironically it is actually less pure than the highest purity lab-grade ethanol because, as it turns out, to get really pure ethanol you have to use benzene, which is, unfortunately, toxic (and is also why extremely pure lab-grade ethanol contains benzene). If you're really interested, apparently you can buy it here, though they have a minimum order quantity of 20,000 kilograms of the stuff - which is almost exactly enough to get the entire population of Wyoming drunk.
2431564 I don't drink and I'm a writer

That... was a much more in depth response than I expected. But my take away is that I can drink two shots of the stuff and still live for at least another twenty fours hours afterwards.
I think you might have an enabling problem.
