TIFU: Bought what I thought was Japanese Alcohol pops, ended up waking up in the morning with a gash on my head, vomit on the floor and a paramedic information note reminding me of how much of an idiot I am.

I don't drink, it's not my thing. I went out one time with my friends and that was the first time I got drunk. On that night we drank a crazy amount of vodka cocktails and all sorts of things and using that experience of how much and how long it took for me to get seriously drunk I figured this fancy looking Japanese alcoholic sodas wouldn't be a bad idea for my night off work.

I bought them, around 5 500ml cans, my expectations were I'd play Elden ring while drinking these and maybe after all 5 cans I'd feel somewhat tipsy at which point I could sleep.

Oh no, I didn't turn out like that. What I drank was Kirin Strong Zero and my god it works faster than horse tranquiliser.

I get my first can, pour it out and it tastes alright, not great. Kind of like a cheap lemonade brand or something. Couple minutes later I feel it. I'm already tipsy and I'm like, well shit.

At this point I shouldn't have touched another but I got another and I was majorly drunk at this point. Around the same level of drunkenness I experienced after an entire day of drinking out with the pals. This shit was insanely effective.

I'm just losing my marbles at this point, unable to play the game further I'm pouring out the final bit of the 3rd can and just rolling around with how dizzy I am.

Before I even realise it I wake up in the morning feeling like absolutely dirt. Is vomit on the floor, I got these little suction cups on me and an information note from the paramedic about my heart rates, breathing rate and alcohol saturation, stuff like that and I'm realising at this point like holy fuck, what the hell happened?!

I also ended up with a massive gash on my head so I imagine I fell over at some point, hit my head and my parents ended up panicking and called the ambulance.

For the entire day I laid on the sofa downstairs with the worst feeling of nausea. Only thing I had throughout that day was water and even that made me feel sick. I was sick many times, so much so I stopped puking up water and was just puking up my own stomach acid.

The following day and throughout the rest of the week my kidneys and inside the collarbone I'm experiencing pain which I looked up and it's an effect of the binge drinking.

I work night shift and usually stay up during the night on my days off and even 3 weeks later I still get the same sickly feeling around that time, like I'm being reminded of that night. Just thinking about the drink makes me feel sick.

I'm annoyed at myself with being such a dumbass and making my parents worry like that and even my girlfriend.

I'm making it known that I won't touch another drop of alcohol and I guess I'm giving a warning about a certain Japanese product.

After researching the product I bought, Kirin Strong Zero it's apparently known as the Gaijun killer as foreigners buy it and not realise after 2 cans they're fucked. I had 3 cans maybe 4 I don't remember and it absolutely destroyed my body for the week.

Drinking can be fun for sure but don't be an idiot like I was, I very well could have died that night all because I liked the dizzy sensation I had the first time I drank.

Frankly it's not worth it but if you are gonna drink, just be safe folks. You got folks who worry about you.

TL;DR: Drank innocent looking Japanese drinks, ended up waking up to vomit, upset parents and a week of organ pains.

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
