They can't roll onto their backs and choke on vomit, so turtle your friends!
Im very drunk but i def think they wouldn't mind this PSA

I've heard it called backpacking, but you could just put your friends in recovery position

I must admit 'turtle your friends' made me giggle like a schoolgirl. It sounded adorable. (Seriously though, clever & important psa!)

Strap him up in "man aloft" harness and hang him off the side... in rain... and let him puke in harbor (Navy version)

The wet patch on the floor and drake stains around the crotch suggest he's pissed himself

Scary scary, woke up choking one looong miserable day, got myself up in time to spit it all out. Never bothered again.

I could sleep on a barbed wire fence when I'm drunk, I think a backpack wouldn't stop people

I know, right? Am I the only one who's tried to dig a hole barehanded to try and sleep while wasted? Pro tip; the hole won't stop vertigo...

Or, even better, don't let hen get to this point to begin with?

No so easy to do when your roommate goes out to the bars and comes home wasted. Her friends ditched her and it became my problem.

If his shoes are on, he needs a perminant marker dick on his face. Never thought of the backpack thing tho.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Yeah give em a backpack and leave em on the floor without a pillow or blanket.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Bathroom floor at least roll up a towel for a pillow

That's your takeaway on this? Ok.

The judge said if he catches you doing that again you will spend real jail time

This is also great if they outweigh you and there is no way you could get them off their backs if they did roll. Beats sitting up all night!

If you ever need to roll a heavy person pull their knee up so the femur is at a 90 degree angle to the torso and use it as a lever

You must be drunk since you're using the word "hella".

Don't go out like Hendricks.

I know this idea seems like it would be a good idea, but it's really not for a lot of reasons. Sit with them and monitor them

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

or, if they show any of these symptoms, CALL AN AMBULANCE Cold skin, Unresponsive, Puking, Slow breathing (CUPS - even has a dope acronym)

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

another sign that an ambulance needs to be called is if the person is talking but it doesn't make sense

source:I'm an EMT and frequently deal with drunk college students who mean well but actually put their friends in danger by backpacking them

This is great, but what if the roll face forward?

His vomit won't block his airways.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The vomit will still flow out, they'll just be a mess in the morning (but a live mess).

This is why you shouldn't backpack people and need to monitor them or call an ambulance. Backpacking seems like a good idea BUT IT'S NOT

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

This is for when they are super drunk but not at the point of needing an ambulance. We all did this in college and no one ever died

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I didn't. Never understood people getting shitfaced by poisoning themselves until they're unconscious and vomiting like they have Ebola.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Not saying people shouldn't get shitface. Just saying backpacking is not as safe as it seems - you need someone to sit with them!

Fair enough! We would turtle our friends who were still coherent, but were about to sleep. I saw ur other comments - thanks for what you do.

In France we call it PLS - Position Latérale de Sécurité.

That seems just like the swedish safe lying position, the thing here is that turtling takes less skill and cant be easily undone

Just choking on vomit by alcohol? Sorry, by the way.

Yeah, always make sure that sleeping drunks are on their stomach or side

Even stomach can be dangerous.

Party on the beach one night. Younger group doing the same a way down from us. They all drifted off as the night went on. We continued (1/?)

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Drinking for a while longer. At some point I wandered down the beach toward where they had been so I could take a piss in the sand (2/?)

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Found a kid (maybe 16) they'd obviously left behind. Passed out face down in the sand, vomiting. A buddy and I got him cleaned and sent (3/?

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Him home without really thinking about it. I'd hate to think what would have happened if we hadn't found him when we did. (Finished)
