    I think remembering that, at least in movies, it originated with Event Horizon is critical because it is the only one that takes into account any downside to transdimensional travel…and what a downside it was.

    I will always mourn the loss of any possible director’s cut of Event Horizon where the footage was so insanely over the top that the execs almost shit their pants.

    It’s a slight numbing feeling on the tip of your nose once you get buzzed. I used to feel it when I was young but don’t even notice it now. She was explaining “getting buzzed” to a kid. It worked for me at least.

    Can confirm. I grew up in the Carribean and I was allowed to drink beer and wine at a very young age. My mother taught me how to drink. I was definitely prepubescent, which is important because I hit puberty at ten. She explained that drinking can make you feel sick and that if I felt my nose feel funny I needed to stop and drink water.

    Binge drinking and being fall down drunk is seen a something stupid, embarrassing, and something that only alcoholics do. I still find it strange and embarrassing when I see people racing to unconsciousness. What is the point of being blackout drunk before 9:00pm? We used to party until the sun came out, then we’d get breakfast and go to bed.
