So I drank w/ my boys tonight..

[gimmejuice]

A short and sweet list of consequences:

1) My friend pushed a chick, and started several fights w/ random people.

2) gets a gun stuck in his/my face by some random dude.

3) drives off the road almost hitting some people and a pole..

4) trys to fight me, and he bled all over both of us..

5)like a fool, I drove his car w/out a lisence, got pulled over, and narrowly let off the hook..

6)my other friend passed out at the bar

7)I forgot the part where one of 'em made a bus slam on the brakes by walking in front of it..

Fuct up night. I'm too old to be getting into stupid shit like this..

Sorry about the rant, just a crazy night

 

[Kane]

That's why I stay home. I don't want to deal with people especially when alcohol is involved...Sorry to hear about your shitty night.

 

[totalrecall54]

[xcelbeyond]

Like Kane said, those are the reasons I quit that scene - just trouble waiting to happen.

YEP....I DON'T DRINK. NOTHING BUT TROUBLE....

EVEN IF YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT BEING AN ASS IT INFLUENCES OTHER PEOPLE AROUND YOU INTO THINKING DRINKING IS OKAY. IN REALITY IT DOES NOTHING GOOD FOR ANYONE.

 

[crackerjack414]

yeah a couple of weeks ago i was out with my boys and we had an interesting nite. One of them ended up getting cornered by this nasty girl who has a rather disgusting rep. Well hes so drunk hes still just sitting there and she buying him drinks then we said we were leaving and all of a sudden he grabs me and says iam going with u guys. So whe take him home and every person we pass on the way home he yells something offensive at every one.

Point being drinking excessivly is just plain stupid. A few glasses of wine every now and again is ok or a few beers but nothing out of control

...

To each their own, but I rate it as the most dangerous drug in our society (being mainstream "western" culture). Happy to have this debate with anyone who disagrees to...

- more unplanned random violence, ending up in life-long injuries, risk of death etc
- more legal charges resulting from above
- more fights and arguments between friends
- more fights and arguments between partners (increased domestic violence)
- greater chance of partners cheating
- more stupid things done and said
- more life-threatening stunts or actions taken, including driving, daredevil-ing, and random bad luck (lost a couple of people to the bad decision kinda thing, just poor judgement caused by alcohol)
- more money lost
- more relationships down the sink
- more children affected by drunk and agro parents
- more unwanted or unplanned pregnancies
- more teen pregnancies
- more sexual assaults and "unintentional" sex (interesting study recently claimed 7/10 women had had sex with someone they didn't want to whilst under the effect of alcohol - they stopped short of calling it rape because there was sometimes poor judgement etc, but still)
- etc etc

Some people can enjoy themselves, whilst smoe people are just menaces. Those who can't handle it or make other people's time hell while they are drunk shuold just stop. Simple. I don't agree with widespread rec drug use either, but if I walk into a club full of people rolling off their dials, both myself and any girl I am with will 100% feel a lot safer than walking into a sports bar or pub, where I'll typically get vibed and she'll get hit on. Alcohol always wins for most damage, hands down. You're lucky your friends walked away from all that. I know a fella who was a very very good mid-weight boxer, quiet, but a few drinks and he thought he was IT. And, mostly, he was... until someone decided to cut short their boxing duel with a glass to the throat. I hate to say it, but he earnt it really. And a lot of drunk menaces do.

I avoid that now myself, largely cos of all those negative things that can happen (I listed above) and the bad luck that can hit you - like some hero deciding to king hit you from behind cos he felt like it (and you hitting your head on the way down), or some drunk girlie hitting on you, you rejecting her, then her going psycho and deciding to have her huge islander bouncer friend have words with you because you "were trying to rape her".... Yep, easy enough to stay away too! IronMike

 

[DamageInc]

I hate drunk fucks. IronMike, you said it exactly. I am 29 years old and too old to be going to clubs and bars every night getting fucked up plus all the things IronMike listed are 110% truth and right on. I hate being around guys or girls that are so drunk you have to baby sit them for the entire night and try like hell to keep them under control. No more of that bullshit for me.

All true

I sure would have gotten a lot less tail over the years if there were no such thing as booze though. I think I look better when chicks are drunk. - CH

Re: All true

and unfortunately the women often look better too - i.e. when you've got your beer goggles on.

I'm not a big fan of drinking either, but I feel that I have to drink sometimes because I'm a student and my friends at school often drink from Thursday to Saturday, which is quite typical for young people...

I can't honestly notice anything special when I get drunk on gear
The only side-effect is the day after, being on gear and having a hang-over is not a good combination. I've hade som stupid rages on these days...

Here's an analogy for you:

I'm not a big fan of drinking either, but I feel that I have to drink sometimes because I'm a student and my friends at school often drink from Thursday to Saturday, which is quite typical for young people...

CRABS
You catch a crab and throw it in a basket and he (you're suppose to through the females back in )will climb outta the basket - need a lid to cover the basket. Catch a second one, or more and when one crab tries to climb out, the other(s) will pull it back in - no lid necessary.

diskey - are you letting the crabs pull you down to their level or are you strong enough to survive on your own? I'd find another group to hang with if "YOU THINK" you gotta drink to part of the group.

Of course if you decide to stay sober and still go out with them they'll GIVE YOU HELL - call you a hypocrite. Because just the other night you weren't too good for them (pulling you back into the basket).

[diskey]

well I feel that social behavor is strongly connected to the use of alchol, just like it's social to smoke or do other things in a group.

I can't think of anyone I know that primaly goes out at night without drinking or taking other drugs. Ofcourse it's possible to stay with people who never goes out or drink, and rather stay home and watch movies or train all weekend, but that gets boring very quick IMO.

When you for example are at a class-party and everyone else is drinking, it's not fun to not drink yourself, you defently don't get in the same mood as all the others, it's then probably just best to stay home because it's gonna get very boring.

So IMO if your going to party with others you should prepare to drink, or it's just as good to stay away because you wont have much fun yourself anyway - nomather what the others think of you drinking or not.

And by the way, the very logical reason for that other people don't like that you drink when they are, is because they feel bad themselves when they drink because you remind them of that drinking is a bad thing for your health.

Diskey-

I'm not putting you down at all, just trying to enlighten you about life and how "you" perceive it.

1) You must be young
2) You are (or have) taking a Sociology Class
3) Have some felling of inadequacy

The reason I state 1) is that you are trying to justify why you want to join your friends - I did that when I was a kid and could justify it just as good as you do.

Why do need to party - you can read post after post about how people have gotten into trouble in that scene. Everyone knows it's trouble waiting to happen.

You are not going to find anyone here that's weak-minded to accept your reasons to party. I can go to party or to a club and drink juice. I don't want to grow up and be like all the people that are drinking - that's not my goal. It'll only hurt your progress.

"Fun" as you're trying to describe it is only what you make it. Fun to me is gettin down with a horny chick. I ain't gonna do that in a bar or party.

A wise man once told me - You are who you associate with. If you can't go out with your drunk friends and not be like them, guess what that makes you. Wake up and smell the roses.

[diskey]

so what do you suggest wise old man ?!

where for example do you hook up with chicks if you almost never go out?

You don't think its worth partying when you're young?, it's better to dedicate all your time to training and school? I think many would regret such a life when they get older...


I'm studying economics - Master of Science to be specific. English is a foreign language for me and therefore it can sometimes be hard to express myself with the right words....

I believe that most on this board partied HARD when they were "young." That's probably why most of us can justify doin' juice

You sound like an intelligent, caring person. Don't think that the only place you're going to find chicks is at a party. I'm just pointing out that there is a point in life where "you move on."

Why not do a poll here and ask the members - how many of you met the mate you have now at a party? Some will say yes, but probably not many.

I hate drinking more than anything but for some reason end up doing it about once a month if that. I am not the type that can drink alcohol and say it tastes good cause it doesn't. I'm the type that drinks it to get fucked up, and I know that isn't good by any means! As long as I'm dieting I stay away from it. That's why I try and eat clean all the time. I can go out with friends and not drink rather easily. It's a matter if self control and if you can't control yourself you can't be expected to control anything else.

people with masters degress think they know everything. Not everything can be taught through a book.

I agree with what you say excel, very wise.

I also understand where diskey's coming from though. In the last couple years I go out less and less (I'm 23 now), but my friends still party several times a week. I might drink a little once every couple 2-3 weeks. Anyway, I hardly have any friends any more. Nobody calls me, and when I see my "freinds" they don't even invite me to do anything with them. Now that I don't wanna get drunk and rowdy. I'm no fun for anyone to hang out with.

Once I'm outa college maybe I'll find friends I can relate to where-ever I work...

later,
GJ

PS-(the friend I was refferring to in my first post ended up w/ a $145 bar tab that night!)

I hope this never happens to you - have a real-life crisis and see how many "friends" come to your side. What I found is that those who party with you don't want anything to do with you when there's a crisis
