Drinking

Right. Its Sunday morning, and its the morning after the night before.

Im always the sober driver, so i very rarely have more than one beer. But last night was the 3 month aniversary of the untimely death of a very good friend, so we went out to celebrate his short life by being all together, and seeing as i wasnt driving, i thought id join in drinking ... even though i knew id never be able to keep up. I paced myself, but still managed to get really quite drunk.

Im not feeling fantastic now. Actually, I feel rough. My head feels dodgey, and sore, my stomach feels more frail than a leper's toe, i cant stand up without swaying left and right. I cant think straight, my skin is oily, and generally minging... And now Im thinking "why people go out every night of every weekend and get absolutly bladdered every time?"

So what do you people think about drinking?

i dont go out much, just get bladdered at home :D

[spooky_fish]

firstly- im sorry about your friend that is a terrible thng to happen,

secondly - i agree alcohol pisses me off (plus its an expensive hobby) and i feel the same ever sunday, the thinks is next sat i'll forget how horrible its made me feel and i'll get drunk again.

[Jeremy_VTR]

We all do it sadly. It's a combination of rites of passage, peer pressure, youthful rebellion, social lubrication (helps when pulling birds!) and a function of our secular and decadent society where no-one finds true happiness.

I rarely get drunk, do I Jody n Sue? LOL

I hope you're feeling better later, in time for tonight's session.

I lost a dear friend at 21 and I still miss him now. He was killed in a road accident along with his parents and uncle. His dad was driving. He left behind two brothers and a few nephews/neices and I don't think they've ever recovered from it.

you dont have an option for "im out drinking every night cos im a workshy student" ;)

when im at home i never drink as im always driving but not having my car at uni im quite partial to a pint or several most nights!

since when has drinking beed a hobby :P

Nearly 17 years old and I haven't touched alcohol all my life. Parents occasionally buy wine (a bottle of vodka!) and WKD and they keep insisting that I should try it but I absolutely hate the smell and taste of all of it. I've had sips of it but never a full mouth of it.

I have absolutely no intention of starting to drink, I need all the brain cells I can have! lol

[Den]

wise move i think...ur nt missing much :)

i think everyone needs to get bladdered at least once in their lives, just to experience it.

[Den]

u dont remember anything about it anyway so prob not much point if hes not bothered about drinking anyway

[Danny]

I dont go out half as much as i used to, when i do go out once in a month or two i only manage 4 or 5 drinks and im ready for bed by midnioght! lol

once a night for me

I couldn't do that! A few times a year is definatly enough for me. When I get drunk, I splash the cash (which I dont have). Its like an illness, i can't help it!

[eranou]

I couldn't do that! A few times a year is definatly enough for me......

I agree, although i can count with both hands the number of times i had a drink last year!! Never understood the attraction in getting bladdered, not to say that i haven't done it - i think everyone does at some point.
I'd rather spend 50 - 60 quid on something useful [smilie=pdt_aliboronz_24.gif]

[Jon]

how about none of the above as i drink everyday

I get pissed most days and if i dont i make up lol.

Verging on alcholism wouldnt you say??

so what i pay my taxes lol.

[Kirsty]

I go out every Friday and Saturday (sometimes Sundays and Mondays too) and normally get pretty pissed. But I only ever feel tired the next day, and that is worth it for the night before, I always have a good time.

Where do you go Kirsty? ;)

[c2ology]

I only drink on peoples birthdays or parties. but wouldn't go out every weekend to get drunk.

[VTStevo]

I go out with the football team every sunday and normally end up blotto but this is becaus I like it. We have great crack and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Living 4 mile from newcastle city centre its hard not to sample the delights of the toon. I would recommend it to all of you !!!!

[Richmets]

Im at uni so dont go out much weekends, but every monday and wednesday it gets a bit messy! hehe :lol:

[crotchrocket]

Yep i'm also a student but i'm in my final few months so i go out when i can,

although i went out friday to the pub and got drunk at my house with housemates on sat, so it's been a good weekend

[Jimbo]

Was not a pretty sight. That is the first time in my whole 4 years of being able to drink of actually being that drunk. Im never doing it again EVER!!

I know its brill, hit it hard most nites, then when you go to the bank and read insufficent funds then oooooooo dear. :oops:

Thats another thing. How do you afford it??

[Danny]

Thats another thing. How do you afford it??

i imagine most students use there loans!! 8O lol

[Fryer]

well not all students do thats its called parents lol moochie moochie lol. i use my work money or parents mostly my work cash

[Richmets]

My parents pay for my tution fess and accomodation but other than that ive gotta pay for everything myself (living expenses etc). I didnt take out a loan either, i just worked full time over summer and christmas.

[musicaldesigner]

I go out to the pub or stay in which is cheaper, have a few beer and scotches most nights, unless i've got to drive of course.

lately ive started drinking alot of whisky? dont know why though!

[musicaldesigner]

Hope its single malt Dan, and not blended like Bells which is rancid.

Jack Daniels/Jim, beam/bushmills is ok, but thats American/or irish (they cant spell whiskey), notice the E. :lol: :lol:

Probably because whisky is more sofisticated than the lager louts :lol: :lol:

Jack daniels many and lately famous grouse liquer whishy, im hooked on it!

[Den]

pete u sound like sum sort of sad whisky expert :?

[chrisVTR06]

i hate whisky but i love mt beer.

Fosters.

i drank 1/2 of litre of the stuff last night!

[chrisVTR06]

Nice!!

Im going for a few Friday night. What do you get up to the weekends mate?

mainly up Dudley or stourbridge!

[chrisVTR06]

You will have to meet me for a couple soon bud.

What you getting up to this week and? Working?

well this weekend im boxing up all my belonging because im moving house next weekend mate, but any night really either on a sunday or after work?

[musicaldesigner]

Grouse is quite nice for a blended whisky, not tried the liqoeur version though.

[chrisVTR06]

OK, let you know!

[musicaldesigner]

pete u sound like sum sort of sad whisky expert :?

Im, not a sad expert im a very happy one, advice on the stuff just ask, i am a connoisseur, or so i have been told.

i reccommend the 25yo highland park, pub retail £7.50 per shot at a pub near me.

[Den]

who in their right mind spends £7.50 for a shot of whisky........stupid imo

[musicaldesigner]

I have drank it, but my uncle was paying, and it is lovely!!!! pub prices are always more expensive for anything.

And is £119.99 per 70 cl bottle. roll on me winning lots of cash or a birthday treat to myself or from family.


£9.99 for a minature usually 2 shots.

Before any comments, I am not an alcoholic, i just enjoy a drink when relaxing and no binge drinker :lol:

Where's the "I'm a student, my car is at home so I get lashed every night" option?!

[spooky_fish]

i had a 2 double brandys once in a resturant in sheffield called the blue room............................ 68quid... dont worry i didnt pay for it, work did!!!

[EssexC2VTS]

This thread is full of liars :|

[spooky_fish]

haha why?

[EssexC2VTS]

The amounts that people are talking about is pure tosh!!!
I can't believe people wanna mug themselves off in 'public' so to speak.

"Half of a litre of wisky"
"50 doubles in 2 hours"
"Hammered every night, without fail" (yet my grammer and typing is always spot on when I was allegedly drunk and posting on a forum!)

Some of you lot are soooo so obvious!!! :lol: :wink:

[spooky_fish]

oh ok well i would like to agree but im guess us northeners can drink ,ore then u down south lol..... only joking

i think some stories can get blown out of proportions sometimes.

agree like all the people who can drink 20+ pints easily in one night! Whatever!

[spooky_fish]

this story IS true.... my mate on his birthday.... he drank 23 pints, hoonestly i was there... thinkis tho he was (towards the end of the night) leavin 1/4 pint at each pub and he was sick about 6 times so i guess it all came out of him.... appart from the alcohol....... he was a rite state, just shows how pointless it was!!!

yeh i dont know anyone who has drank that amount and held it in!

[spooky_fish]

true!

[Richie_j]

Dont normally drink (havent had any alcohol since september iirc), but when i start, i go all out

[Greg]

I got wasted last nite, cant remember any of it, but i needed it.

Had some bad stuff happen recently and needed to let go.

[spooky_fish]

alcohol..... now theres a temporary soloution ---- homer simpson quote

alcohol..... now theres a temporary soloution ---- homer simpson quote
I dont get wasted that much, i just try and enjoy and plus the fact i hate being sick! yuk!

[spooky_fish]

[c2sean]
