So there were two choices left in my liquor cabinet.


Tequila, or Malibu (My logic follows the whole bitches love ______ theory)

So I made the smart decision. Tequila, chased by Malibu. I think it is an effective choice.

That would of been delicious, but I instead proceeded to continue with what I was doing. Then random schnapps started to appear. I kind of just found them, and drank those. Then I passed out and woke up spitting on my bed.


Gotta love Tequila, its kind of like going insane for 3 hours.

Guys, there's a winery about an hour from where I live. In Wisconsin. My parents went there today and brought some home, Prarie Fume, and told me to taste it, claiming it was excellent. I was skeptical because, come on, wine from grapes grown in Wisconsin? Is this amateur hour?

But I had a glass, and it was goddamn amazing. I mean, not the best wine I've ever had, but definitely the best that was non-French and non-Italian. Fuck California wines. If you want wine from the States, Wisconsin wine is where it's at.

i just had the most rollercoaster experience weekend ever

friday started drinking around 10 am. friend hooked me and another friend up wiht 20 xanax's, so we got pretty fucked up on that. then for whatever reason my friend decided to get some ecstasy and we each took one. we fell asleep before they kicked in. that was about midnight. he woke me up around 3 and we realized we were still rolling a bit, so we took another half and chilled for a bit before dozing off again. then in the afternoon we went to the beach with some other friends. had a lot of fun.

as we were leaving, i was walking along this cliff when i slipped and fell. it was probably the worst timing ever. it was about a 9 foot drop, i fell right on my heel right as the wave was coming in, so i landed on hard pack sand then got knocked over by this huge wave. i eventually got to the ER, waited about 4 hours without any pain meds before they finally decided to see me. they finally gave me some norco's (stronger vicodin). i hate painkillers but in this case it did help a lot. now i'm waiting to go see another doctor today to see if i need surgery on the heel or not.

so kind of a downer but two of my friends just texted me to say they are getting their legal weed cards. so that's pretty cool.

dear booze thread,

when i am at home i end up drinking way more than usual.  i'm not sure if it's just cause my parents actually buy booze, and when i'm on my own i don't bother with it, or cause living here stresses me out. hmmmm. i am drinking wine cause we're out of beer. i think i've had 7 glasses of wine tonight.  i feel slightly tipsy and dancey and cheerful.

love,
anna

This bar wouldn't happen to be the one right next to Johnson and Wales in Providence? There was a pretty rockin gay bar near the studio when I was studying at RISD. According to one friend of mine he'd seen the mayor there a couple times.*



*Incidentally, Providence is the first state capitol to have an openly gay mayor. So his patronage of this bar isn't any sort of scandal, as some people have assumed when I mention it.

Yeah that's it, I forgot the name.

Has RI run out of eligible bachelors?

Y'know, this is actually plausible. My main memories of Providence were the rather unusual demographics due to the combined influence of RISD and a startling number of strip clubs.

maybe 15% straight AND available

Your math failed to take into account the evidence of the strip club density that I referred to. Out of this 15%, around half of that are guys you probably wouldn't want to be dating.

When did it become a common idea in society that a) you have to be drunk to have any fun; b) people who don't drink are prudes (or boring); c) if someone says they don't want a drink they secretly do so you should insist they have one; and d) getting people shitfaced and taking advantage of them is a good thing!?

I'm not accusing anyone, I just am intrigued. My brother doesn't drink (but he actually is pretty boring), I hardly drink, but whenever we go out there will be people who will incessantly try and get us to drink. And not just drink, but get really absolutely terribly drunk. People don't seem to understand why we would go to pubs and hang out with friends and not get circus drunk, and no matter how many times you explain it they still try and get you a drink. Also things like
Yeah, get someone liquored up enough and they will do quite a lot that they would normally not. Interpret the word "do" as you will.
is actually kind of a degrading way of thinking about that (also, notice how it always seems to be referring to women, rather than men?). Now I know you're probably joking, but I have heard people being absolutely serious saying things like "oh, just get some drinks into her and she'll be eager". My brother has even told his friends that if you get me drunk I'll kiss anyone; now I (and his friends) know he was not being serious, but what if some stranger heard this, thought "oh hey, she must be pretty easy" and in my naivety I think they're just being friendly when there is a more malicious intent going on.

Am I the only one that thinks that the mindset of celebrating getting wasted and doing stupid shit you regret in the morning or not having any memories from the night before is not very healthy for a society?

Do you not realize what thread you popped into...


Edit: I decided to give you a bonus response.

The thing to realize here is that when people make statements like that, they are often under the same influence. Booze is a social lubricant, these people full well intend to do the things they do, they booze brings it out of them. Like you kissing everyone, its a good time, and you're having fun. Thats the thing to remember, most people drink to have fun. They usually find it in a way they enjoy.


EXCEPTION: When someone is blacked out drunk, but at that point you are hardly able enough to consent to anything. It is usually rape in that case.

No. But when it comes to young people most will come down on the side of bacchanalia. Extroverts always have more influence over their culture than introverts, and in your early years being an extrovert generally means partying. Add to that the youngster's lack of self control / self respect and the fact that social interaction is degrading more often than not and you've got a good recipe for a not particularly pretty culture that values binge drinking.

I was actually talking from personal experience, as in put enough alcohol in my and I will do quite a lot more than I normally would. And you can convince me to do some pretty wierd stuff, and have sex with just about anyone. Probably because I am already slightly too promiscuous as it is.

And how is that referencing women more than men? We were telling roxie how to get it on with her gay boss... get HIM drunk, not her.

Do you not realize what thread you popped into...

Did you read my post at all? it is on topic (even though I am not drunk); probably more on topic than half the posts on this page. I am interested in why you celebrate getting really drunk and going "oh man, I was so stupid last night! My head really hurts and I threw up everywhere! It was great!". It doesn't make sense. When did you start thinking that you had to go out and get really drunk? Why can't you just go out, have a few drinks so you lose some of your inhibitions and stop? What made you think you had to go over your limits to have a good time?

I have been thinking about this for a while after discussing it in class and observing my housemates' behaviour when I don't drink or they do. I would like some other perspectives on it, as mine is probably not the general perspective of the people who post in here.

You already said exactly why we get smashed, and just can't have a couple. When you lose your inhibitions. Its fun though, I have fun doing it. I have fun riding a roller coaster sober, I have fun riding a bike, I have fun playing guitar, I have fun watching movies, I have fun drawing, I have fun writing, I have fun playing video games, and I have fun being drunk. Its just one of the many things people do to have fun. Liquor also makes the things that are regularly fun a whole new type of fun.


Also, what you quoted was a joke. Obviously, you may need a few drinks to lighten up, and roll your head back and laugh it off with a shake of your head.

Also, NB: It is usually poor form to fuck a person when they are drunk.

Also also, why is losing your inhibitions seen as such a good thing?  Ok yes, sometimes it is good to get drunk and forget about your troubles for a while.  However, sometimes inhibitions are there for a god-damned reason.  Society is practically built on the back of people doing things that they don't necessarily agree with and also shutting their mouths when it is impolite to say what is on their mind.  It's called manners, propriety, or maybe even doing what is in your best interests even though you don't like it right now.

I get the shits very badly sometimes when people write off hurtful things they have done with "oh, but I was drunk, lol" or somesuch.  Even when I am god-damned circus-drunk, throwing up in the gutter at 4am stumbling home and wondering how the christ I am going to get to sleep when the world is spinning like a centrifuge I can mostly still tell the difference between being nice and being a cunt, so "Oh man, sorry I did (xyz) I was so wasted" doesn't really cut it for me.

I agree with Pat. I think this is the drunk thread... you know... where people post about being drunk? It's not the only way to have fun, but it is a way.

So I am not allowed to have a discussion about why people drink to excess? Just because I am not wasted means I can't post in here? Are you drunk right now? Have all your posts been when you were drunk?

Quote
And how is that referencing women more than men? We were telling roxie how to get it on with her gay boss... get HIM drunk, not her.

I meant in general terms, not specifics. Guys are more likely to get girls plastered to have a better chance with them than the other way round. And how will getting her gay boss drunk improve her chances? He won't miraculously become attracted to her once he gets drunk. I am just saying that it has become almost accepted that people comment that if you can't get sex with someone from your looks or personality, getting them drunk is the next thing. I make the same jokes, and I am probably the kind of person these kind of guys will target.

Like you kissing everyone, its a good time, and you're having fun. Thats the thing to remember, most people drink to have fun. They usually find it in a way they enjoy.

But I am not that kind of person. I am not going to kiss the first guy I see because I have had some drinks, but my brother is encouraging the stereotype that if you get someone drunk (especially snooty girls who won't give you the time of day) then they will be more eager to 'do' you. I drink to have fun. That means having a few drinks, knowing my limits and stopping before I do something stupid like throwing up everywhere. Drinking to have fun doesn't mean you have to get blackout drunk. I have no problem with people drinking, and can get circus drunk as much as they want. I just want to know their reasoning.


Don't get all defensive and make me out to be the bad guy here just because I am asking questions of people. Inciting discussion is the point of discussion forums. If you read my original post I said I knew what Leinad said was a joke, but have experienced people who have said that in all seriousness. I live in a society that celebrates drunkeness and am seen as a loser because I don't drink very often; I can't ask them why they love to get drunk, because it is so ingrained in the society and the community that they can't explain it. I asked because I wanted to get other people's thoughts on it and maybe get you guys thinking.

I also said that people intend to do exactly what they are going to do when they are drunk. Basically, saying that saying you were drunk is not an excuse. I also never said that getting someone drunk with the intent of fucking them is okay. If you both get drunk, and it happens, it happens. Giving girls shot after shot, to make her easy is completely wrong, and is rape.

Also, Eris I am not attacking you at all. Don't get the wrong impression here. I was just simply stating my point as best as I can manage right now. I do agree with you, that going out with the intent to completely black out is for high schoolers. I really only know a few people who do that, and no one likes them. I mostly just get drunk enough to be intoxicated, but still in control of mostly everything.

Edit: Ah, Eris I understand what you are saying. I already said I think that is wrong to get girls drunk so they are "down to fuck". So I see how it upsets you that your brother is encouraging that.

Edit: In my drunkenness I just realized I did in fact tell her to have a few drinks. I am sorry, it was a figure of speech and was a bit of poking fun. I wasn't really trying to imply that she should really be drinking. Eh, fuck it. Take it as you will, I know how I meant it.

Man, I think it'd be best for everyone if you got to bed and sobered up.

My experience has been that people who are allowed to drink wine, champagne and such under the supervision of their parents from the time they were relatively young (tween/early teen) tend to be the most responsible when it comes to drinking at parties/in high school/ in college/with friends/etc. While they probably haven't had a lot of experience with hard liquor, the fact that alcohol is a normal thing to be drank in moderate amounts to them takes away a lot of the allure of downing more than a 12 pack of beer.

That being said, it can be fun to be absolutely smashed every once in awhile, if it's on an occasion that calls for it.

i don't really drink anymore because i find it pretty stupid, but i also do things like smoke cigarettes and knit and enjoy stanley kubrick films which other people probably find equally stupid so mostly i've come to terms with the fact that people have different things that are fun to them. if someone's had something really shitty happen to them and wants to drink it off, i'm certainly not going to stop them just as i wouldn't want anyone berating me every time i go through an entire pack of cigarettes when i'm stressed out. of course everybody likes things like manners and personal responsibility but there isn't much you can do to enforce those things.

and anyone can be taken advantage of when drunk, not just women. sometimes people drink to intentionally loosen up and have fun, other times they're irresponsible and unsure of what they're getting themselves into. there isn't any black and white way of telling those situations apart. just don't be an idiot when you're drinking. assess the situation carefully and if you're both having fun, then have fun. if you think you might be taking advantage of someone, you probably are. so don't.

Basically I agree with just about all that Patatat said.
Eris, I think you're exaggerating the stereotypes of drinking. Yes, these people do exist, but they are not the majority. If we judged every part of society solely by the idiots that take it too the extreme then I'm sure we could make even knitting look like some awful sin. If we stopped our lives to argue with every idiot no one would get much done, just ignore them, do what you wish and worry not about what others think. Do things the Gandhi way: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." I think Patatat described alcohol best as a social lubricant, and while I agree that being drunk is never an excuse I don't think you should ever read into all the foolish things that people say and do while drunk.

You would be surprised how many people are one of those idiots who drinks too much, and also how much of a difference it makes being on the outside or on the inside. I mean, people who I would find tolerable if I was drinking with them annoy the head off me when drunk and seem like ridiculous idiots. And I occasionally get far too drunk and annoying, even when I plan to go out for a few quiet drinks. I don't usually like getting completely trashed, though.

Mostly the issue here is that this discussion has no place ITT. If you wanted to have a discussion about alchohol use and abuse you should have made a new one. Coming in to a place dedicated to celebrating drunkeness and telling people to be serious almost reeks of trolling. Look at the thread title, for christs sake.
