Drinking is immature i try to think why people want to get to get drunk in the first place but it all seems like a load of tosh.
What do you do? You chuck down a bit of alcohol down and then you begin to feel all happy and weird, walk home funny,then you go to bed feeling crap and maybe throw up.
Next day you gloat to your mates how much you drunk and they call you 'hard'
I have nothing against drinking alcohol and im 18 but getting drunk in my opinion has no purpose at all. As Sheepy says 'im on holiday'
Yes I do like having a laugh but drinking is not what i call a laugh, yes you have laugh while being drunk but that's under the influence of alcohol and not yourself.
I've read Tony Adams autobiography about him fighting against his Alcholism plus his life and career. Alcohol ruined his life and almost his career until he decided to stop. In my opinion drinking is all brought up by peer pressure, i like a a beer or 2 or some other alcoholic drink but drinking more is has no sense of all other than making you feel good if you have had a bad day for a night and making you 'hard' Oh and 'pulling' girls/guys while you are both drunk and gloating to your mates is not cool, it might be fun but try getting someone using the more sensible way.
Do people have no logic? Even when a fooballer dies people have not learnt how short life is and how shorter it can get.

Yeah, but if you get drunk and start a fight it no longer just becomes your choice, people can get injured just because some jerk had a few too many pints and couldn't control himself. I think it's ok to drink as long as you know your limit and you have to stop and control yourself to stop you from injuring yourself or others.

I like to drink because it means I think less and that in turn makes me a more relaxed person.
I don't drink *all* the time. I went to the pub last night and had a few drinks with my friends. Everyone got a bit drunk and then we went home. I finished school a month ago so the night of the week means very little in my opinion.
I went for about 6 months of not getting drunk once... September 2002 to about February 2003 I think. And I'm going out again tonight 'bring drink if you want'. I might and I might not.
I like getting drunk, so there.

Like I said, I don't go out as often as I used to, but that doesn't mean I don't go out for my mate's birthdays. And it's myself, Fos, Wal, Seb, Jay and Stone Cold Psycho Bennet, among others. Get the names right, old man. ;)
But, other than "special occasions" I tend to stay in. I'll be going out when we break up for college, and a few times over the summer holidays with my mates from college, but generally I'll be drinking in gardens/houses/pubs, not out on the town.

lader skorp1on dude
They need help, and often the will actually die without drink as the body produces chemicals, alcohol has them in abundance and the body stops making them. When they come off it, it can kill them.
Have to go now, i'll see you all later. (If you reply I will read)

alcoholism is a disease, and I feel people are not given the help they need, as it is assumed that they should 'pull themselves together'. my parents reaction to me complaining of a hangover is "no sympathy as it is self-inflicted".
I think this sums up a lot of peoples attitudes to heavy drinkers, and it needs to change if we are to help those who really need it.
A friends dad died of alcoholism just over a year ago.

I don't drink. Doesn't appeal to me.
I can have fun without it.

a lot of valid points, its down to preference sniper, some people enjoy watching big brother, some people hate it with a passion (thats me). some people enjoy marmite (thats me), some people would rather eat dog crap.
some people like getting sloshed out of their minds, some do not.
Me? I like a tipple regularly, although I keep it to one or two nights a week (except on bank holidays when I may get trashed on sunday too). It's not 'all I do'. I am a very active person, I go swimming, play occasional games of football and go to jiujitsu twice a week.
for me its just a great way to unwind, relax, and a sociable thing to do with your friends. I would not choose drinking as a primary activity, more something I'd do after going out somewhere. Or perhaps I'd rent a few DVDs and pop round to a friends house where we'd have a few ales.
It is bad for you in large quantities, the hard part is knowing when to stop. Sure, when you're sober its easy to say "I'll only have two or three" but once you've had a few, you get the hunger for it, and tend to be up for loads more. maybe thats just me.
