And another one from first year
A couple of our original housemates dropped out after the first semester so we got some new ones.
One a spanish final year dentish student, and the other a penultimate year american, who basically came over here to get as drunk as possible, good times.

The american guy (adam) taught us the joys of beer pong and kool aid, he got stuff shipped over from the states a few times, it was just a giant box filled with swedish fish (the best things ever) and other american sweets basically.

So we took adam out drinking with us, and by now we had all subjected our livers to first semester of uni drinking, we were used to the paint stripper vodka and whatnot. Adam on the other hand wasnt, he'd only drank sissy yankee beer, needless to say english boozing took its toll. After a think it was 4 nights in a row boozing adam began to feel ill down his side. Off to the hospital he went, he didnt come back for a few days, we were a bit worried. Turned out he had got pancreatitis from drinking too much. The funny thing was tho we had out drank him every night. His parents flew over to see him in the hospital and stayed in his room. So basically we destroyed our housemate!

Length.... about 2 weeks in hospital, and a liftime of really watching what he drank.
