Denver woman’s night out takes a wild turn as she becomes a ‘human trash can’ after her friend’s shots go sideways: ‘You’ll be the coolest grandma’
We all need a Morgan in our lives.
Those “ride or die” friendship moments are truly to die for. But one Denver woman’s night at the bar has redefined the term “loyalty” in the most stomach-churning way possible. Of course, it has to involve shots and throwing up.
TikTok creator Morgan Ross (@morganroos97) is going viral after sharing a night out that went from an early shift release to a multi-cup vomit containment mission. The video has garnered over 214,000 views and serves as a hilarious (and slightly horrifying) warning. Next time you decide to get a quiet drink after work, you might actually end up having the loudest night.
One round of shots and three rounds of puke
The saga began when Morgan’s boss let her off work early because it was “strangely slow.” Naturally, she headed across the street to a bar where she knew the staff and could enjoy a few drinks. When a friend walked in, Morgan ordered a round of shots. However, she could tell the friend “really didn’t need another.”
“I’m not bartending, it’s not my problem, it’s now yours,” Morgan joked about the decision. However, the problem became hers very quickly. Immediately after the shot, panic hit the friend’s eyes, and their internal struggle was imminent.
Morgan put her friend under the bar and placed shot glasses for her to puke in
Faced with a live band and a crowded path to the bathroom, Morgan had to think fast to avoid getting kicked out of her favorite spot. Her solution? She dumped her own drink on the floor and shoved her friend’s head under the bar so it looked like a standard conversation (or something else entirely).
She quietly whispered to her friend, “Throw up in the cup!” which was on her lap. As the first cup filled to the brim, Morgan realized she had an overflow issue. In a desperate attempt to stay “incognito,” she calmly placed the full glass of vomit on the bar and began using the two empty shot glasses to catch the rest.
The ‘one more drink’ finale
At this point, Morgan was covered in vomit and standing in a puddle of her friend’s bad decisions. However, she still managed to dispose of the three glasses of puke in a nearby trash can without being caught. The friend them turned to her and said, “I think I need to go home.” And Morgan was just like, “You think?”
Covered in puke, Morgan admitted that she also needed to head home asap. Yet, she didn’t follow her friend out the door. In the grossest moment of the night, Morgan decided to grab a rag, wipe herself down, and stay for one more drink. “Which is ten times more gross,” she admitted, acknowledging the questionable hygiene of the situation.
What should you do if your friend begins throwing up her shots?
While Morgan’s head shove and cup maneuver was a stroke of panicked genius, there are ways to handle an over-served friend. And it does not have to involve ruining your shoes, or your soul. If you see that “point of no return” look in a friend’s eyes, the goal is rapid extraction, not just containment.
The best defense is a good offense. If you see them losing steam, cut off the shots. Then, alternate every alcoholic drink with a full glass of water. It’s called the “water sandwich.” But the moment the “panic eyes” appear, physically guide them toward a bathroom. Or, if it’s unreachable, take them toward a trash can, or the sidewalk. Fresh air and a non-carpeted surface are a server’s (and your) best friend.
Now, if they’ve already hit the “throwing up in shot glasses” stage, the night is officially over. Call the ride-share before they finish being sick so you can move them directly from the venue to a safe place.
As a PSA, instead of hiding the evidence under the bar, find a staff member. They would much rather help you manage a sick friend than find a “surprise” cup of vomit on the counter later. And always remember when to say “no” to the last shot so you don’t end up playing a high-stakes game of “puke-catch” in the middle of a live band’s set.
True friendship has no gag reflex
Morgan’s story reminds us that a “slow night” at work can lead to a very fast night at the bar. As one user on her video said, she will be the “coolest grandma” with the wildest stories. Agreed, her methods were slightly grotesque. But her dedication to staying in the bar and protecting her friend from the management team is a masterclass in urban survival.
And as a lesson, if you see someone looking very focused on a cup under the bar, maybe just keep walking. You don’t want to know what’s in the overflow.
