Sleep

The most important thing to remember at your age is that the human body needs exactly zero sleep to function properly. It’s proven science. After a night when you drink half a bottle of tequila, head butt your best friend over a cigarette and possibly plow through at least an eight ball at a club you’ve never been to, what is eventually the cause of your hangover? That’s right, SLEEP. You can’t wake up in a bathtub or your neighbor’s front yard if you never go to sleep. And for God’s sake, never ever EVER be the first person to pass out at a party. Not only does it make you look like a pussy, but hopefully someone will fuck with you to teach you a lesson. If you can’t manage to stay awake until your significant other gets drunk enough to take you to bed, or at least until after the weakest link passes out, you shouldn’t be out partying in the first place.
Getting shitfaced and passing out is completely different from going to sleep. If you go outside to smoke a cigarette, black out, and take a header into a sandbox, chances are people will take pity on you or at least hold off on drawing cocks across your face. On the other hand, if a group of partiers are watching the big game, and half of them are forced to sit on the ground or stand up for the entire second half because you’re cuddled up with blankets on the couch, you’re gonna get fucked with, and for good reason. Passing out is an art form and one that professional partiers have come to master. I went through a period in my early years in college where anytime I passed out at a party, if I didn’t have a blanket, I ended up under a table of some sort. Why, you ask? Because if you’re cold and drunk with nothing to keep you warm but the clothes on your back, a simple ceiling fan becomes the worst enemy of a good night’s sleep.
I’ve also had rough nights that I ended up hugging porcelain and woke up laying in a puddle of drinking water I had knocked over and was too drunk to clean it up.
The general rule for going to sleep or passing out is: don’t take up more room than you need. Yeah, it may be comfortable to put your feet up on the ottoman, but someone else can use that ottoman to sit on or even to pass out themselves. It’s the party equivalent of taking up the corner booth at a restaurant so you can sit by yourself and eat lunch. Nobody cares that you don’t like sitting at the bar because you can’t touch the floor, and nobody cares about your back problems and need for at least an entire full size couch to sleep on.
