The [[Schwarzschild radius of alcohol consumption]], to give it its full name, is the radius of a sphere such that the gravitational force of one’s judgment to get up, brush oneself off and go home, is finally and irreversibly outweighed by the nuclear forces of inebriation, meaning it is certain that you will collapse into a black hole of despair by morning. Your only hope — and it isn’t a very edifying one — is to be ejected into a [[Parallel universe|parallel]] dimension<ref>As often as not manifested as a nasty cocktail bar in a part of town you don’t recognize and wouldn’t, if anyone asked you, usually choose to enter.</ref> as an incandescent spume of cosmic gas.  
As we move into the holiday season (known amongst the Godless Europeans as the “'''[[MiFID]] Season'''”<ref>A joke that shall grow old, as we who are left grow old.</ref>) a reminder of the absolute limits on forgiveness imposed by the very fabric of the space-time continuum itself.

The [[Schwarzschild radius]] is also the point at which gravitational forces are so strong that no coherent message can escape to the outside world. Memories in ''and of'' you will be suspended for all eternity from this time, at this time. Yes: ''at this time''. Hence: not edifying.
