No one likes to be sober around annoying drunk people period. But not every drunk is annoying, some of them are funny.

I doubt I'd find it funny. I do have an admittedly odd sense of humor though.

Quote

Going drinking is fun for all sorts of reasons from lowering your inhibitions to sharing a common experience with friends. If you stay sober your whole life you exist only in that state of being. There are several other avenues to be explored. Walk the golden path.

No thanks. I kinda get the social aspect but lowered inhibitions? If someone needs an excuse like drinking, maybe their ass ain't ready for lowered inhibitions. Not to mention the sickening sheer number of people who commit violent or distasteful acts who always use it as a crutch or excuse for their own irresponsibility. Screw the lower inhibition thing. If you don't have the balls to say it or do it to me sober, then STFU and get lost. I'm also bitter because I've met a few people who I thought were fucking awesome sober, and they would go get drunk and act like morons. There was nothing wrong with the way they already were and it saddens me.

I went to a party like a couple of weeks ago, and everybody was wasted except for me. it was soooooooo boring, i felt like crying! I don't know, I'm disliking getting soo drunk that I do dumb shit. it got old a loooong time ago.

Forget that sickening sheer number. For every person that does something horrible while drunk there are 1000s that went out and drank and had a great time that night. It's not just about lower inhibitions either, you do and say things that you wouldn't have otherwise thought to have done or said and a lot of the time those things are fucking awesome.

Those people didn't drink to change themselves because something was wrong with them. Are you 100% sure that they were acting like morons? Are you completely positive that perhaps out of no where (when you realized they drink) a horse didn't gallop up and maybe you climbed up on that horse?

Or maybe they were acting like morons but only from the perspective of a sober person. If you're not drinking with them then you'd feel excluded and them not being/acting sober might make you get annoyed with them when in reality they're just having fun and if you were also drunk you might be having fun right along with them.

It doesn't make them less moronic though, it would just make me blind because I would be drunk, too.

Corrected. And no I'm not.

See you're making it out to be all evil as if nothing good socially ever comes from drinking. People bond together from drinking. They enter a state of communitas complete with liminality and several other anthropological words.

Well to put things in context, I see evil in everything and everyone.

I knew this guy who killed himself...my former best friend. I say former because he got hooked on some shit and tried to beat me up one night. After living with his life in a shambles for ten-to-fifteen years, he took a 12 gauge and put a shotshell through his face. And I can tell you now, while it's his own stupid fault for doing it, the booze and dope he took over the years helped it along, and the booze and dope his dad did while he was growing up and the abuse that occurred as a result contributed to the situation.

Despite my chosen handle, I've never been drunk and never will be. I say and do enough crap that I regret while stone sober. I see no need to see just how messed up I can possibly get. Anyone doing this from time to time simply has a character flaw. Anyone doing this on a habitual basis has a problem dealing with reality and needs to grow the hell up before they royally screw themselves over for keeps.

Remove the word "need" from your observations and you will be that closer to enlightenment.

sharing a common experience with friends.

I've never had to be drinking to do that. If all you have in common with your friends is you like to get wasted, then maybe they arn't your friends.

Be glad. the ads spout out stuff about $69 for two pairs of designer glasses, but what they don't tell you is that the lenses are separate and much more expensive, so you may be paying over $200.

That's not how it works. That's like saying if all you have in common with your friends is baseball then maybe they aren't your friends.

I stand by what I posted and how it was put. You need more absolutes and less Absolut in your life.

Getting drunk once in awhile isn't a character flaw anymore than never drinking is.

Drinking too much is irresponsible, and doing anything complicated after is stupid and dangerous.

Now enjoying some wine, or fine Patron is downright tasty. Who doesn't drink a beer when watching football? I'd say 1 beer in 3 hours is good. Go Pats.

The only semi-complicated thing you should have to figure out is which way the condom unrolls.

Hopefully you didn't drink enough to be wondering that for the OTHER guy. I'm lookin at you, Rama.

So it's true, you either are a fraud or unable to prey on anyone but drunk, naive college girls? Otherwise I dunno how a man in Miami couldn't find a good enough piece of tail.

That's easy for you to say. You have friends here. I just moved back here, had my car broken into, crashed it a few days later, and I'm about to have surgery. If anyone has legit reasons to doug out it's me. But instead of bitching I'm going to walk the honorable path: http://www.realultimatepower.net/index4.htm
