Its when other scientists NOTICE that Im under the influence that I worry. That doesnt happen often, Im very discreet. On the other hand, I can be awarded this badge several times a week…
Plosive Aerophones… tuned tubes played by smacking the opening with a paddle… some booze and a chop saw turn tuning into “how much saw-dust can I make”
[...] The “has done science whilst under the influence” badgeTwo words which should mean the world to anyone who’s been on a fossil dig site: Beer Thirty. You haven’t properly been on a dig until you’re wielding an X-Acto knife in one hand and a bottle of Moose Drool in the other. [...]
One time the gas anesthetic in nitrous oxide carrier gas was being dumped into our operating room air supply rather than out through the fumehood. very funny until we all got headaches
Happy hour… and then had to come back to the lab and dose cells in tissue culture whilst under the influence. Happily, I still got all of my dilutions right!
direct hit off the nitrous K bottle after a rocket test. fell flat on my face but didn’t know it until I woke up and the world was sideways. Somehow my glasses were still intact and there was no significant bruise on my face or knees.

I agree with Lyndsey. Thin sections + any mind-altering substance is amazingly fun.
I have photographic evidence of science under the influence.
