the purpose of getting drunk

[matt5112]

Sadly I like the taste of good beers and cheap canadian whisky.

Getting drunk isn't appealing.

But 11 shots in 4 hours isn't THAT much.... but considering you dont drink, thats a lot....

i need an escape from the world where everything that i analyze upsets me?

As a co-worker says, "reality is a nice place to visit, but I could never live there."

i have drank once, i had a 6 pack of mikes hard lemonade, tasted so good...and then right before i finished the 6th bottle, the truck was on its side and i was scared out of my mind...i was stupid enough to drink and drive, not only that, it was my first time drinking, and the truck had no tread on the tires, which i knew, and it had a light back end...stupidest decision of my life

16 yes?

[matt5112]

Lol.... my first time....

The most amount i've ever had in one session.

[jcmonteman]

first times are a *****...

[matt5112]

Not really.

Its the day after that was fun.

Also the whole drinking and driving thing is dumb even if you've only had a beer or two.

putting your own life and others at risk is quite irresponsible.

[jcmonteman]

i very much realize that...that is why i was somewhat scared of going and staying in a hotel with you guys, id get drunk probably, and do/say things i didnt mean, and depending on whos drunk and whos not...i may get in a fight, so yeah...trying to not drink/smoke is hard...i have accomplished to never smoke or drink in my car, and i have never gotten in and driven my car after either, because i dont want it smelling like that...

it is hard to stop smoking more so than drinking...kinda helps when it is so hard and spendy getting the stuff

I smoke whenever I want. I'll smoke twice a day for a week and then not smoke again for like 4 months. I can't connect with the "hard to quit" thing cause I don't have that problem...

[TheOtherNick]

Um dont drink if you cant handle it. Pretty simple.

[matt5112]

you're not addicted till you measure the time between when you have to smoke, not when you decide you want to.

lucky lucky lucky...it is kinda a will type thing...i think its not so much a problem for me...i kinda smoke mostly with friends...i am for sure im not addicted...its a bad habit i wanna break though

I kind of wish I knew what it was like to be addicted just so I could find out what everyone else is talking about.

[matt5112]

I dont smoke.

But talking to people who do, every hour.... "I need a smoke"

[MrPoopyButthole]

I be a sober bear now.

[SeanGTP]

I've heard that a lot... I just can't imagine in my head what that feels like...

Honestly having only 2 beers is not that much, at least for me.

same. i can drive after a few easy.

[matt5112]

ever measure your reaction time then compare it to when you're sober?

[Bio248]

nope, but im still sober after 2 beers. sooo...

[real diehl]

A little liquid-courage never hurt anyone...right?

[mechguy]

Once upon a time I used to get inebriated beyond belief and then stumble my way home. I stopped doing that after I came bounding home one night with black eyes, etc etc. Could have been worse. People like to have knives.

So now I enjoy drinking socially, and unsocially. Just will not venture into true bars solo....

I do my best to stay below the hangover threshold.
