"I am the only one that thinks..."

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.

Spontanious vampire drinks only bludweiser.

aha.

I thought drinking tended to do exactly the opposite of making you feel hard?

But what about your weekend tales of you, Biz, Boz, Waz, Moj and Poff drinking "only 11 pints and some shots" and trying to pull barmaids??

So you stay indoors and preen in little pants with weights?

I just think people who let drink take over their lives are sad, but can't help it. My mates are borderline alcoholics (well, not literally, but they drink a LOT more than me) I either drink less (or, as is usual, I drink the same but handle it better) and try to look after them when they're falling all over the place and breaking stuff. Don't know what it is, but for the last year or so I've been able to keep a clear head when everybody else is off theirs. You'd think it'd be the other way around, since I get drunk probably no more than once every couple of months and they're getting hammered once a week.

Not like the old days. I used to get lashed all the time. Had fun having a laugh with my mates, but as we got older it became "uncool" to have a few mates in a house with some beers, and we had to spend £30 more to go out and have less fun. Seems daft, but they seem to enjoy it, I don't. That's the main reason I don't drink anymore - going out, spending £30-40 in one go, dancing like a moron, not pulling and getting your head kicked in by radgies and/or bouncers doesn't appeal to me. My mates don't even invite me out anymore, they know my answer. Makes me sad in their eyes, to stay in and workout/mess on my computer/watch TV/DVDs, but to me, what they're doing is sad. Ah well, each to his own.

I got bored of drinking, the novelty wore off after three years. My mates have trouble not drinking for a week, I don't touch it for months at a time, save for the odd beer here and there when I feel like it.

OK, rant over.

I go out and have a few drinks with my mates, or have a few in the house when I watch a film. Why?
Because I enjoy the odd drink and when I'm out with mates we usually always have a good time.

I don't get out of my face drunk much, I can still walk, talk and not bring the contents of my stomach back up.

I don't drink a lot. A couple of nights a week at most and even at that there are times where I go a good few weeks without a drink.

As Goaty said - Each to their own. If you don't like it then fair enough. If you do then all I would say is don't over do it. I see loads of guys who seem to spend all days in the pubs drinking and thats just a waste.

There is nothing wrong with a drink, in fact, I quite enjoy the odd tipple.

But this sentence...

…Pretty much sums me up.

I'm 18 and never touched alcohol in my life both for religious and personal reasons and i'm always glad i haven't when i see drunk morons coming out the pub falling down and making idiots of themselves. I don't object to anyone having a drink, for some people it's nice but i can't stand those people who get so drunk they can hardly walk and start shouting and then stop you in the street looking for a fight when they can barely even see you, let alone hit you.

So do I.
To presume that you have to be drunk to enjoy yourself is, I believe, incorrect and the prevelant attitude that leads to swarms of drunkards buzzing round towns at night leading to fights and other "hijinks"

I can enjoy myself perfectly fine without the need to obliterate my senses.

I mean in public

You have no idea how wrong you are
