i was on my way back from the pub tonight and i had a beer in my bag and quite a walk to the bus-stop so i decided to crack it open on a wall. unfortunately the bottle cracked a bit too and now i might have swallowed some glass. last time i did that my mum made me eat tonnes of bread to stick it all together and keep it from harming me. so i've eaten some chips and i have a pizza cooking. hopefully i'll live. so, any other glass eaters here? or what else potentially harmful things have you consumed or done to your self while under the influence? or sobre even?

A&E might be a good idea

I've swallowed a couple of ringpulls before (along with other stuff - water, etc), for money.

A&E might be a good idea

i'm not hurting yet, no worries.

I've never knowingly eaten glass, but you'll be OK. As for harmful things I've done while drunk, well, punching plate glass windows, snatching people's chains, fighting and driving drunk seems to cover it.

Good luck going for the darwin award! :D

almost anything made of metal and smaller than a quarter. Though i swallowed one of those $0.50 coins once.

Yeah but you don't want to go perforating your stomach. I suppose it'll be worse getting it out the other end :p

yep, i'd rather it lodge in my stomach than have to shit it out in the morning :S. i'm not worried, its not the first time and this time i had the presence of mind to do something about it.

I've swallowed a few small pieces of glass with no ill effect. It was part of a glass bowl I had oatmeal in. So it was food-grade, but still sharp, judging by the pieces I later dug out of the oats.

I haven't swallowed glass but I've swallowed toilet paper... (I put my lip).

Happily, glass is not part of my diet.

where did you put your lip that required you to eat TP?

Ever stepped on a thick dull needle, only to have it go right into your foot and break in half? Then have to suffer threw so much pain you almost threw up? Then going to the ER, having the doctor put many many many needles into your foot to numb it, then cut into the foot, only to feel the blade?

And he still didn't get the damn needle out. :(

I ingested some auto glass from an accident once. Crapped it out and everything was just fine. Wasn't a whole bunch though.

Good luck going for the darwin award! :D

*Gets in a dress*

Nice contenders we have this year

that sounds like a whole buggery load of pain. have some :fluffle: s if you don't mind cuz i can't think of anything else. my dad once woke up before a heart op, scared the hell out of him. he doesn't ever talk about pain though, silly bugger.

Medical evilness, I say.

Is it bad that knowing there's a piece of metal in my foot is more disturbing than watching a man castrate himself?

if the man is immanently evil, then no. otherwise, you need to see to your foot. metal is bad for feet..

Mind carrying me to the car? And into the doctor's office? And back to the car? ... then into my house, again?

How's that glassy stomach of yours doin?

I had a red Bull once.. does that count as harmful?

is there no-one about to take you? that sucks :(

my stomach seems to have survived the glass, throat's a bit scratchy though.

good luck at the doctor's :)

I don't have 'I ate something stupid' stories. I have plenty of 'I did something stupid' stories, but none of them involve eating anything.

I do know someone who trust a garden fork through their foot once. Does that count?

Well yeah, I have transportation and such. It's just that I hate using crutches.. I asked for a wheelchair at the hospital. :p

Surgery tomorrow!

Worst thing that could happen is appendicitis. But I hope you're gonna be okay :fluffle:

I think the worst I ever did was drink shampoo. It just smelled so yummy... Oh and I stuck a tic tac up my nose as a kid once.

no but i've been told i eat the blue stuff you put in the toilet when i was a kid

I intentionally ate an ant-covered snack cake a few years ago... :D

Nope--raw, live ants.

Did you get money? Or were you researching a rare African tribe, and lived with them and partook in the culture?
Nope. Neither.

Dunno. weren't that many on it.

Dude, there's a French guy out there in the Guinness Book of World Records for eating bicycles.

Bicycles.

You'll be fine. Especially if you're not even sure if you have ingested the glass in the first place. I suspect you'd know if you drank enough to do any major damage to you. Just make sure you don't starve yourself or something silly like that and you'll be fine.

And just so ya know, use the butt of a disposable lighter to pry open a non-twist-off bottle cap. Works great.
