Anyone Drinking?

getting drunk is over-rated

Lies!

I had my 18th on the weekend.. One and a half straight bottles of Southern Comfort, a Straight bottle of Canadian Club, 6 Canadians and cola, and random shots/others drinks through the night.

I was goooooooooone. I thought one of my female friends was my best mate (a guy) for ages. I even rubbed her face saying things like 'Heeyyy mate, how you going!?' before asking if he'd finally shaved after so long (has a beard), then realising it was a girl..

*hmph*

I was still drunk at 6pm the next day =P
 
When I was 18, I counted too.

That's quite a bit of booze. But then, I think the English, Aussies and Kiwis have some of the heaviest drinkers in the world. Which isn't a great achievement.

I used to have one of those huge alcohol tolerances, but now I'm a cheapie, and I love it. A bottle of wine or around 8 beers is all I need to be happy.

I remember in school some of my friends would drink up to 24 in a night, and still be coherent. Not only is it expensive, it's really quite bad for the body. My heavy binging days are wearing thin.:crying:

so... you admittingly drank yourself stupid until 6PM the next day...

you couldn't tell a man from a woman...

but... you found it in yourself to be able to remember exactly what you had to drink.

right.

Agreed. Seemed more fun when I was underage. Now? No thanks. (I should point out that I just finished my 2nd beer. Nowhere near being drunk, though!)
I miss my old downstairs neighbor...hot 22-year old blonde bartender...made the best Jack & Coke (always made me a double! ;))
I've come to realize there's a difference between having a few drinks and getting drunk. I don't mind having a few now and then, but I can't stand being drunk anymore. Aversion therapy, I guess; last time I was really drunk (i.e. Ozzy Drunk) I accidentally put my head through a window. Nice puncture wound to the head! I have never seen so much blood in my life! After about 2 minutes, my shirt was so soaked that it couldn't hold anymore and blood was just pouring straight off of it onto the floor. :eek:
I rarely drink any more. When I do, I definitely set my limits!

Well, actually. If you must know. I had the drinks set out from the start of the night (the straight stuff anyway, one was a gift) and it takes me a bit to get drunk, so I remembered most of the night. My friend came later (he said he'd be there around 11.30-12, so I assume it was around then) and gave me a present of the Canadian Club and cola's, which I remembered easy enough.

However, it was when I went in our spa in the early hours and drank some more that I actually got reaaally drunk. As mixing drinks + heat of the spa isn't a good idea at all and THAT'S what really screwed me over.

And I didn't get myself drunk stupid until 6PM the next day, I still had the alcohol in my system them. I stopped drinking when I came in from the spa which was sometime after sunrise.

Right indeed.
 
Getting drunk is awesome if you are around mates you can be a complete knob in front of but if ya gotta meet new people you dont wanna be the massive drunk one with the lamp shade on his head...

Plus as i get older i begin to like sundays a lot more, and curled up in the foetal position trying not to vomit.......sux!

And i dont care who you are, at 18, two and a half bottles of strong liqour plus a half a dozen pre-mixes AND shots is........bollocks.

Im sure you were smashed enough that maybe everyone else helped you with your booze.
 
i bet your pee will smell wonderful (and taste ultra-sweet, if you are into that kind of thing)

i got 2 good size shrewdrivers down (i drink everything out of a mason/spaghetti sauce jar) and at this juncture i feel like a lightly quilted maple top, lovingly hand-rubbed with 3 coats of tung oil and buffed to a high gloss...well, maybe not
