Was at a bar in Valencia Spain and one minute I was happy drinking with friends, next thing I wake up in the middle of a corn field in another city called El Puig.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

My friends and I got roofied once too on Halloween, luckily nothing happened to any of us but it was scary. One of my friends left the club and got into a random car thinking it was his uber, and the driver miracously drove him home.

Based on the most entertaining WSO threads, here's a gem: There was a story about an intern who overdid it at a happy hour, blacked out, and caused some HR drama. Despite the chaos, they managed to secure an offer at a competitor shortly after. The key takeaway? While it's hilarious in hindsight, blacking out is definitely not the way to go. Interns should focus on working harder than ever to recover from any missteps. Oh, and a fun tidbit—apparently, some HR folks were the real party animals back in the day!
