Getting absolutely ********

Is this generally considered good or bad? I've started to forget what's sensible to drink, and the point of drinking in the first place. Why do people drink, and how much do they to get to the state they want to be in? Now, everytime I drink I want to get bleary eyed, out of control and off my face as I'm always sure to hear some epic stories the next day. I may sound like a knobhead to non-drinkers, but I'm sure everyone who's ever got off their face can understand the high from it!

drinking is good, untill you get liver damage

Take it in moderation. Soon enough your body will start to get quite sick if you're drinking vast amount on a regular basis.

In my opinion, drinking just to hear stories the next day is quite idiotic.

Why idiotic though? I don't harm anyone, it's all about having memories with my mates in the end. And I only drink about once a week, if that, even at uni!

I can't really take the high ground (I go out drinking often). But why do you do these hilarious things when drunk?

Is it because you don't do them when you're sober?
If so, then why don't you do them sober?

Just ask yourself, is all.

I used to be like that every weekend, but someone threw a house party with the line "Plz don't bring anyone notorious for getting wasted and doing idiotic stuff - yes her".
So yeah, I kinda cut down, alot. It's much better and saves you always being embarassed the next day.
Basically, just stop drinking when you're drunk. I know the attraction to drink untill you pass out (for the lols), but it's not that good, really and truly, it's crap. Esp. when you wake uo the next morning on a toilet or with leaves in your hair or on the bottom of a stairwell or in your mate's bath tub. And you look like Amy Winehouse:

It's idiotic as by the way your wrote your first post, it sounded like you got bladdered every night, your body would feel it in 5 to 10 years.

You can't have memories if you can't remember what happened.

Drinking once a week, is what I'd consider normal.

I don't wish to brag, but I'll have to say that in my group of friends I am 'the funny man' even when I'm sober. It's just that when you're drunk you get so wreckless and your completely zoned out that you do anything and hearing about it the next day, or even being there is all part of the fun. So it's not like I get drunk as a confidence booster, we just do it because it makes nights out that little bit better.

I used to enjoy getting trashed and not remembering stuff, until a couple of weeks ago when I got so drunk i passed out and got concussion from whacking my head as my friends tried to carry me upstairs. They thought I was dead, I dont ever want to put them through that again.

It's fun :biggrin:

Getting absolutely bladdered is waste of a night.

I am prone to getting so drunk I can't even remember how I got home. It sucks. I wish I could stop

I do get the attraction of it, because it does give you a high. Especially when I get really drunk and then smoke (which is basically the only time I smoke), it's just lush and relaxing. I don't think I could do it every week, though. I don't think it's bad to do it occasionally. Most of the time when I drink I just have a few and get giggly and silly, but sometimes I do just want to lose control. Other times the thought of losing control like that is the scariest thought ever. It depends entirely on my mood.

getting superdrunk is fun! there really is no point drinking if its not to get drunk i mean come on - alcohol tastes ******* horrible really. whoever drinks for the taste, those are the people with the problem.

BUT of course you dont wanna mush your liver, so be sensible boys and girls, alternate with other drugs, or abstain for most of the week, or...take up yoga? here i am spraying advice like a sprinkler. its good and fun, to get ********. but dont die yeah?

There's a part of me that's very jealous. I no longer possess the ability to get drunk. I've managed it once this term, and that was from a drink containing, if I remember rightly, a double tequila, a double vodka, an orange reef and blue WKD. That pretty much wiped out the memory of whatever else I drank that night.

Now I just have a couple of drinks each night and make sure I'm with people who are good fun even when sober. Or we just have wholesome, drink-free nights out.

Gotta say I kind of prefer it though. I used to get off my tits every time I went out. It's usually not worth it.

Besides, drugs are so much tastier.

I got so wasted once I walked home from a club that was 5 miles away from my house, alone and in bare feet!!!

I live in the countryside and there are very very few pavements so I was walking on the road, to top it off I stood on a dead animal and a rusty nail went through my big toe, through my nail and out the other side. not nice!!

Where is this high you are talking about??? Because to me it's ridiculous because it can be so dangerous.

If only that was the worst that usually happens... you get drunk and you're more likely to get involved in a fight, have a horrific accident or get raped.

I had my crazy years in secondary school. By the time you've had several vicious fights with random people or some of your best mates, made out with ugly girls, lapsed into an ethylic coma, almost suffocated in your own vomit, you decide that maybe alcohol=fun isn't always true.


Now I get home at 1am on a Saturday night...
