Guest davetherave Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 What was it Homer said..."alcohol the cause of, and solution to all of lifes little problems"These days I'm a social drinker, but at one time I used to party 5 nights a week. I'm glad I eased up, my liver probably would have quit before I did otherwise Though I'm still known to put away many vodkas on a good night!!What is it the public information advert says "drink sensibly", whats that mean, read some shakespeare whilst guzzling a pint of whatever!!

lindeh Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'm sometimes quite shy around people I don't know so a drink (or two) makes me more confident I suppose. Around people I do know however, it's another matter- we usually get blind drunk because we know we'll end up doing stuff we'd never do sober... not always a good thing though!

We sit and chat about stuff, drink our favourite drink, listen to music. Usually I stumble out at 12.30/1am. I look forward to this, its my way of unwinding because I have a stressful job. Maybe its sad, maybe it isnt but I love having a drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachie Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I like the taste of cocktails etc, and I like to get a bit tipsy occasionally because everything is funny when you're drunk.Except when it goes the other way and everything is shit and you want to cry... but er... *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachie Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Drinking rocks! Red wine! Where do I start. The effects are ace though. Drinking is just a good way to unwind. I'm surprised you didn't just answer with "To get laid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcadian Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 when i drink, partly it's a sort of social acceptance thing. like even when i'm not drinking people around me seem to ply me with drink, usually the instant i finish one i have another handed to me. or if i say i don't really feel like drinking people are like 'ah, just a couple' then half the time it'll end up lot more than that.personalitly wise, i'm really introverted, like i only even feel like being sociable maybe 5-10% of the time, but when i drink a bit i suddenly become really outgoing 'life of the party' kind of thing, talking to everyone, making friends with complete strangers, occasional ridiculous escapades. it's kind of interesting to think about, like why can't i be so outgoing when i haven't been drinking. i think my shyness acts as a barrier and allows my inhibitions to keep me in check as it were, like i might go to say something to someone i barely know and somewhere between my brain and mouth it hits a wall and instead i come out with 'guh'.there can be a lot of fun had of just getting completely plastered every once in a while, like i'm pretty bad for that at parties where i usually drink to shameful extents, like the time some swedish guys challenged me to a whisky drinking contest and i downed more than half a bottle. it's weird though, how sometimes the effects of drinking differ, like most times it increases my mood but will occasionally be really depressing.

Smooth_groover Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 The main reason I drink is to unwind. Although when you're out with mates after work/whatever, it simply feels weird NOT to have a drink in your hand. There's nothing better than having a good 'crack' with your mates.Make of that what you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 what i always find strange is if myself and untitled go out, everyone always tries and insists we have a drink in our hands (esp untitled as he dosnt drink at all really)does it make people uncomfy that there are people who are happy to have a good time without it?

beeker Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 i'd have said it's more along the lines of getting you involved in whats going on. making sure you're included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Mel Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Also they have yet to invent a non-alcoholic drink you can drink all evening which doesn't make you feel crap.virgin strawberry daquiris from the bassment. but you'll look like a total queer ordering them all evening.

*Amy* Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I guess I just love Malibu too much I like to drink, I don't need to to have a good time. I know I'm a sensible drinker (except for these 2 times) and I can see the line. Even if it's real blurry, I'll not go overboard.I do think it's sad to think that people out there go out with the intention of getting absolutely rat-arsed and not even remember where they've been or what they've done. I fail to believe that it constitutes a "good night out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I drink because I enjoy the taste, but only of certain drinks. I used to drink to get muntered, but then realised that it was a big waste of time and that enjoying alcohol as a luxury was far more fulfilling.

Da Fat Porn Star Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Some things are there just to get you muntered ie shots. Beer and lager are an aquired taste, but can be delicious.I LOVE vodka though. It's been my drink for years now. A double vodie and lemonade. Mmmmmm. I just love feeling of teh first one, the way it makes you shudder and get a slight shiver from the first sip. Then it just just tastes.... well, it tastes right. Most drinks you drink coz you're thirtsy. Vodies and lagers you drink coz they taste good.A bit like the difference between veg and meat.
