The Legend of drunk Japanese girl?!

If I have to choose "the strongest person this month", I thought it would be Koizumi. But today I found a stronger one. A 21 year old woman got drunk and rode on the connector between trains on the JR west Tokaido line. A guy found her sitting on the connector when he got off at Amagasaki Station and reported it to station staff. The train went to Osaka Station and she was found lying on the railway line there. She said "After I got a ticket at Akashi Station, I don't have any memory. I could find where I was when stuff woke me up." The distance between Akashi St. and Osaka St. is about 52km, it takes 52minutes or so. The train runs at a maximum speed of 120 kilometres per hour. Wow great! She could grab on to the connection somewhere here? I have no idea.

Acetaldehyde is related to whether or not someone can handle alcohol or not. Around half of Japanese are low in acetaldehyde or do not have any. It means the Japanese are the weakest for alcohol in the world. However the Japanese like to drink and it is okay to be drunk in public. Maybe in this culture alcohol has been a communication tool and it can't be big issue because juvenile violence caused by alcohol is not common. Some puke, some sleep on train stations, streets, but basically many people are happy drunks. I think so.

By the way what was your worst memory of drinking? Like I wrote sometimes I like drinking too. But I can't drink outside so much, so I don't have big embarrassed memory. A few times I missed my stop on the train, then had to take a taxi back home. Even when I was so drunk, I could return home and I never forget wash my face. Maybe those would be into my "batch job" and file run when I open my apartment door. My co-worker did the same, when he woke up he was in the last station where is the starting point for a mountain climb on a snowy day. My friend strained his back, when he carried his drunk girlfriend. This spring another friend fell down when she drank but she didn't notice she broke her leg bone, a few days later she went to the hospital because she didn't know why her leg hurt so much and she found she broke it. Now she has metal plate on her leg. Well some has such bull about alcohol. How about you?

Wow... I don't think I could hold on to the outside of the train while being sober, much less drunk. I'm amazed that she could do it.

Best / worst drinking story was on my 21st birthday (legal drinking age in the United States). I had 7 shots of tequila along with with 2 of my friends (21 shots between us, 1 shot for each year I had been alive). Well, to this day all I remember is that they had to walk me to my ride home. After that it gets dark. I didn't pass out or fall asleep on the way back to my apartment. I still don't know how I got up the flights of stairs and unlocked my door. All I know is that I can't bear the smell of cheap tequila or even drink it because it makes me feel ill.

Hi There
I like this drunk girl story. Of course she bothered people, she was so stupid and she would be punished a lot. She might die. However I can't hate her because much or less people did some stupid because of alcohle.

Perhaps one must think like a drunk to understand. Hmm... If I was very drunk, the rush of air would seem good so sitting outside the car is a nice idea. Also, I may feel embarrassed for being drunk and not wish to be seen. The connection between train coaches is a good height for sitting on but is also dirty. I probably would not sit there because it is dirty. Not unless I needed air very badly.

I wonder if she did it purposely or unconsciouly. The thing is she had been staying there for 50 minutes! She must have been woken up screaming anyway - that's for sure!
