Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 wtf stick to the units on the bottle?! Dude, alcohol does not taste good. The modern primary purpose of the substance it to get drunk.You do not get drunk from 3 units a day. Anyone can socialise sober. Socialising while off your face pissed is where the challenge is at. Well ... except some of it actually does taste good. And I only drink alcohol that I actually like. Otherwise it's a soda for me. I don't feel the need to be tipsy to have fun, but if my mood becomes a little more merry because of it, that's just a nice little side effect. I can understand people who want to get drunk to have fun, even though it isn't my style, but I don't get those who drink themselves under the table - I assume that's simply lack of moderation and/or self-control.
Jimbob Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I'm not dependant on Alcohol, i just like a few beers each week. I'm a social drinker, only drink when i am out with mates (not all the time, say about 50% of the time is at a local drinking establishment).
Febee Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Surprisingly, I haven't drunk in awhile. I agree that it's not necessary to get drunk to have fun, but my god, it sure does help. I suppose it depends where I am and the situation, but in general, I'll only get drunk at parties and whatnot, and even then, i've never been in an utter state as of yet. A night filled with scotch, absinthe and vodka shots left me waking up in the morning feeling very WTF, but i've never been violently ill or anything. I seem to have an extremely resilient body.
Chris the great Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 i drink to much, not like alcoholic style, but on a night out, i usualy end up not remebering parts and in some sort of mini adventure. is it necicary to get drunk? no, i enjoy myself without drink, i could live my life without drink, but the fact is i enjoy it, and it does lead to fun circumstances.
Nolan Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Indeed. My equivalent Only 75% by Volume, but my buddy can still do about 6 shots of it and only be drunk and not falling down drunk. He's a big guy though. I stop at 3 cause I don't want to get drunk. It is great for blowing fireballs though.
Grazza Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 wtf stick to the units on the bottle?! Dude, alcohol does not taste good. The modern primary purpose of the substance it to get drunk.You do not get drunk from 3 units a day. Some beer is very good, such as German Pilsners, Czech lagers such as Staropramen and the mighty English Ales, such as Abbot Ale. The alcohol and strength is part of the taste, but I wouldn't say the purpose is to get drunk. Enough to lose some inhibitions, yes, but "drunk" means too much. I don't get drunk after two pints, but I begin to feel poisoned and want to cleanse my system.
S.C.G Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Only 75% by Volume Only 75% by Volume Only 75% by Volume Only 75% by Volume??? that's fucking insane lol I can't believe people drink stuff of that volume just for the hell of it... well I can believe it actually but that doesn't make it big nor clever.
Raining_again Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Only 75% by Volume??? that's fucking insane lol I can't believe people drink stuff of that volume just for the hell of it... well I can believe it actually but that doesn't make it big nor clever. I think it was comparative to the black absinthe which is 86%
S.C.G Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I think it was comparative to the black absinthe which is 86% Still fucking insane lol that's a mahoosive percentage and I can't understand why people would want to repeatedly shot that stuff... each to their own I guess but surely one shot of that or the black absinthe would be more than enough?
Raining_again Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Well some of the ingredients of absinthe will actually poison you in large quantities, so only idiots would drink a lot of it..
Ashley Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Surprisingly, I haven't drunk in awhile. Aren't you underage anyway? Anywho. I seldom drink for the sake of getting drunk, and when I try normally my sensible brain kicks in or someone beats me to it and needs looking after. But I'm fine being the reliable drinker and hell if I drove I'd be happy to be the designated driver. Very fussy with alcohol however. Gin and tonic is my favourite drink, although can seldom afford it as of late. Other than that red wine, or white. Appreciating champagne more and more, but only at celebrations. Will drink cider if I feel the need to look more manly. But I could quite happily go without alcohol for a long time, and have done so in the past. Fizzy drinks are my vice Oh and never been sick off alcohol. Vomit free since '93

Molly Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 This is what happens when you get drunk: All I have to say on the matter.
Daft Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 This is what happens when you get drunk. You turn into a coconut?
Bren Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 crackin costume Drinkin is alright like, not too into it to be honest, its the wankers that go out n get drunk that spoil the whole thing. I only really drink at partys or restaurants :P Im just someone that would rather hit a bong than a bottle Whereas smokers are just twats. Your a ball bag
Molly Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Cheers skunky! You turn into a coconut? God, I hope so. You mistakenly kiss the back of milky joe's head, of course.
Nolan Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I think it was comparative to the black absinthe which is 86% ding ding ding, correct you are. You win a ping pong ball. Still fucking insane lol that's a mahoosive percentage and I can't understand why people would want to repeatedly shot that stuff... each to their own I guess but surely one shot of that or the black absinthe would be more than enough? One shot won't get you drunk, but you'll feel it. And if you're on an empty or nearly empty stomach you will get sick. Of course, even if you have 3 slices of pizza in you....one shot may make you sick, and pizza clogs the drain. The thing is though...that stuff, it doesn't have a taste or at least not one discernible beyond the burning pain, so if you have a good chaser (which can honestly be about anything, since anything will feel better) and can get past the pain it's easy to get down.
Molly Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Your hair is very shiny Molly. It's a wig! My hair is dark brown and much longer, but hopefully just as shiny!
jayseven Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 *waits for the first drunk person to contribute to the topic* I AM DRUNK. I have had the equivelant to a pint of 30% alcohol. Two 7.5% cans of 500ml, two 250ml 5%, two 4% ciders, then one 4.5% pint. I drank in a social environment with people I have conversed with sober. All the alcohol did was make us comment on the fitness of the younger ladies in the pub. We could've done it sober but we would've been more annoyed at the noise and the atmosphere. I never spent more than £1.50 on a pint tonight, roughly the same as a can of relentless, and I think the effect from the alcohol was worth more than the effect from the stimulents. Bleh. OK my maths is probably wrong.

This is what it's all about. As I said, if you're not going to get drunk, there's no point in drinking in the first place. Your a ball bag Sue me, dickhead.
Goafer Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 This is what happens when you get drunk: Picture All I have to say on the matter. I tend to look more sweaty and generally unpleasant in pictures when I'm drunk. Suffice to say, after seeing the photos I decided to not drink anymore. So far I've stuck to it. Another highlight of my drunken youth: I vomited in a PC, then fell asleep in a bathtub. I vaguely recall eating Kinder Eggs at some point that night too. The only time I've thrown up due to the sauce. Well some of the ingredients of absinthe will actually poison you in large quantities, so only idiots would drink a lot of it.. Alcohol itself is a poison isn't it?
Coolness Bears Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 This is what happens when you get drunk: All I have to say on the matter. I think it's my turn to say; I love you. Anyway I don't drink but when I go out I have a good time.

I vaguely recall eating Kinder Eggs at some point that night too. The only time I've thrown up due to the sauce. Alcohol itself is a poison isn't it? I'm sure you look lovely all the time. You're so smiley,even when you've thrown up. Anyway, yes alcohol is technically a poison, but then anything is in large enough doses. Alcohol is stronger than most substances, but for the price will get you just as "off your face", although mushrooms are much nicer. Not that I'm condoning drugs (I take it back!!!) I've been drinking tonight, five pints in. This is not like me. Lately drinking has been a rarity due to a break from university, but lately there has been an upsurge in use. Only advice I can offer at this stage is if there is a hot girl on the stairs outside your room and you're running down the stairs in underwear, as I was just doing, do not wave and say "Hi, uh....I'm just going for a piss" and smile. It makes you look weird.
