A new teacher arrived last Friday. He joined us for a few beers after work. (I think we had about six.) Then we went to the cheap nightclub, and had an absinthe each and a couple of beers.
He was quiet during all this, but seemed perfectly copacetic as he downed the alchol. I think he did finally decline a final beer --
then he sat down and started vomitting.
The security guards escorted him out.
He puked some more, then collapsed onto the ground.
We got him upright and English Teacher A began to escort him home.
I went home and went to sleep.
When I woke up around noon the next day, there were about fifteen calls from English Teacher A on my call register, that I hadn't heard. Apparently the new teacher, collapsed in English Teacher A's hallway, had begun screaming and convulsing, so English Teacher A eventually called an ambulance.
So the guy was hospitalized.
Oops.
I'm hoping this is a sign of a pre-existing medical condition, and not a sign that we are drinking amounts of alcohol that would be dangerous to a normal human.
