When 110 lb. Koreans Drink Tequilla. This is a "funny" story that happened a few weeks ago. I went to Chili's for dinner, and the wait was about 40 minutes to get a table. So I scanned the bar for a seat and saw an empty two-person booth. I went and sat down. Behind me in another booth are two guys of the Asian, Oriental, (or whatever the politically correct term is) persuasion. One of them has a really thick accent. His English is mediocre. The other one has a little better English, but also has a strong accent. He is speaking very loudly. Much louder than normal conversation would warrant, but is having normal conversation. About 30 minutes later, he stops talking. I have been watching an A's game on the TV this whole time, but was mildly eavesdropping on their conversation. Normal office stuff.

Okay the next set of events happened in the space of about 1 to 2 seconds. I hear the sound of breaking glass, the sound of a general "gasp" from the patrons of the bar, then the sound of a dull thud on the floor, then the sounds of general concern/panic/ado. So naturally upon hearing the sound of the breaking glass I start turning around to see what the hell is going on... I turn to see a skinny asian guy, who weighs all of a buck ten, on the floor in a pile of glass, beer, and nachos. His glasses are smooshed up on his head and he's not in a good state. But by the time I turn to see him, a bartender/waiter guy is already there helping him. The Asian guy want's to stand up, but can't really get his feet under him. And his head is bleeding. So the bartender, and now another waitress is trying to tell him to NOT stand up. But he tries again, and in doing so cuts his hand on the broken glass. Finally they convince him to just stay laying down.

In the meantime someone has called 911 and the paramedics are on the way. The bartender guy is nice, and trying to talk to the guy, asking his name, etc. In what seems like only 5 minutes, a bunch of firemen, and paramedics come tromping in. They sort of take over and start asking questions. What happened, did anyone see it, etc. Just trying to get general information. One guy says, "It looked like he had a seizure." I look at the Fireman, and I say, "NO!" and then I look at the guy who said it, and then back at the fireman, and I say, "He definitely did NOT have a seizure." (sidenote: seizure's are not pretty sites, believe me, if someone has a seizure... you will know).

So after about 15 minutes of stopping the bleeding, putting the guy on a stretcher, strapping him down, blah blah blah... In walks the OTHER Asian guy... the loud talker. Seems that he has been in the bathroom this whole time. So he comes walking into this mayhem, and sees his friend on the ground, and starts freaking out. What happened!? That's my friend! He's just visiting from Seoul, Korea... Is he okay?! The kid on the floor hears his buddy and starts apologizing profusely... Just keeps saying over and over, "I'm sorry." So then the Firemen start talking to loud guy... Were you drinking? He says we had a couple of shots, but we had appetizers too. I look at their table. On it are two large beer glasses with only a little beer left in the bottom. A plate of Nachos with virtually none missing. And two entree plates with no bites taken. So then the Firemen says a couple of other things, but comes back to the drink question... "So how much did you have to drink?" The loud guy says, "We each had 3 or 4 shots of Tequilla."

So I'm thinking to myself... this is what happens when 110 lb. Korean's Drink Tequilla.
