ITT: You share your experience where you got so drunk you got into trouble with the authorities. I don't have any examples because I don't drink at all, and to be honest I don't see it to be any different from any other drug.

This thread should be interesting.

[raises hand]

Once, it involved pissing on cars in public and verbal abuse with taxi drivers. Jagerbombs

>"I don’t drink at all"
>"I don’t see it to be any different from any other drug.

the fuck you on about mate?

When I was 16, I got drunk at a party. I ended up passing out in my car. A couple hours later a sheriff woke me up, luckily a friend took my keys from me so it wasn't a dui. The sheriff just had me sit in his car while I waited for my parents to pick me up.

No.
I often get drunk in my house.

What do you mean it's not different from any other drug?
You think drinking is a bad thing? Or do you think soft drugs should be legal, like alcohol?

Drunk: Plenty

Arrested: No

@Ticklechap

Drinking is bad.

Read Prohibition era in the US

Drinking good

Nope. I'm a teetotaler.

Actually, it's not.

lol take ur fancy mcspancy "health issues" elsewhere scrub

Wow brah this thread should come with a wet weather warning or something

Cya luzers, have fun not being fun

[exits thread]

"Heavy drinking takes a toll on the liver"

"Drinking a lot over a long time or too much on a single occasion can damage the heart"

"Drinking too much alcohol"

So by your logic, pretty much everything is bad for you because it can harm you.

Also

"Research also shows that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol may protect healthy adults from developing coronary heart disease."

what kind of nerd doesn't drink to excess while they are young and their bodies recover quickly only to settle down as they get older and have more responsibilities?

I guess I'm a nerd.
Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

Well, i don't drink since i rather keep myself sober for the rest of my life. I rather drink a soda when i'm feeling down.

If you drink too much, obviously it's gonna be bad for you, but there's nothing wrong with having a few drinks on a friday night.

You might as well give up on fast-food, chocolate, soda or using q-tips to clean your ears, then. But we use those products because it gives us enjoyment.

And I don't think most people drink when feeling down, and if they do, that's a serious problem. That doesn't really have anything to do with this, though.

My dad doesn't do any of that stuff, and he's as tough as an ox in his 40's. So there's that. :3

Also, i should also add that i don't drink because Islam forbids the consumption of alcoholic drinks and products that are for pleasure that can cause drunkenness.

of course health is a factor too,
but intoxication is a bigger factor, at least for me when i decided to live straight edge.
having to drink a few to be able to enjoy oneself is imo pretty pitiable, it's forced fake fun, with 'fake' people, who have altered their judgement and behaviour through intoxication.
besides, alcohol is just a legal drug, if it would've been discovered within the last 50 years, it'd be illegal too, since it likely is even more harmful than a lot of the illegal 'soft' stuff.

You don't need to drink to enjoy yourself. Nobody said that.

And 'fake' people? "Having to drink in order to enjoy oneself"? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? You're implying that I'm only having a good time with people when I drink because of the alcohol. Not to mention, these are my friends, meaning they are the same people I hang with on a regular basis.

And you don't have to drink to the point of having 'alterend judgment and behavior'. When I drink with friends, it's usally not more than a couple of drinks.

Regarding the drugs stuff. I agree. It is basically a softer drug. That's why it's so ridiculous that stuff like marijuana is illegal in parts of the world.

If you don't ever want to get intoxicated, fine. But don't look down on people who drink.

tell me then, why do people get drunk.
obviously they like the feeling of intoxication, even if it's ever so slight. why don't people stop after a glass of spirit, or a bottle of beer? is it really necessary to lower the inhibition threshold on talking shit, dancing or do whatever?
it takes little alcohol for people to be intoxicated enough so most averagely observant people will notice altered behaviour. and hanging out with people, friends even, who are even only slightly intoxicated is rather shit, no matter how much i like them in their normal state. of course, when everyone'd be under influence, none of them would notice. but they do behave different, maybe even not always for the worse, but different.
and if it's not about intoxication, why drink alcohol at all? i sure can get you some alcohol-free herb syrup that tastes just as bad. i'll admit that i liked the taste of beer too though.

it's true that i think that bans on soft drugs are unnecessary, though i often question if people are even remotely mature enough for the legalisation of other drugs, if they even struggle with alcohol.

you know, i don't care if my friends drink or not, i don't look down on them in the slightest. in every day life that is. i'll look down on whoever i want though, drunk people are mostly troublesome, inconsiderate and bad for the overall mood. again, if everyone's drunk no one of them will probably notice.
but it's the same with smokers, it's rude to non smokers to smoke in their company or to expect them to keep them company while smoking.

Of course people drink because it makes them feel a bit different. But after just a few drinks, you're still pretty normal. There's a difference between being tipsy and drunk. Most people I know don't drink to the point of barfing or looking like a zombie.

and hanging out with people, friends even, who are even only slightly intoxicated is rather shit, no matter how much i like them in their normal state.

That makes no sense. If someone is only "slightly intoxicated" and hanging out with them is shit, they are either not just "slighty" intoxicated, or they are shit to begin with. Having 3-4 drinks doesn't make you a completely different person. In fact, you would barely notice the difference. I have a friend who usally doesn't drink because he has to drive back home, and he doesn't act any different, nor feels like we are acting like a bunch of idiots.

it’s true that i think that bans on soft drugs are unnecessary, though i often question if people are even remotely mature enough for the legalisation of other drugs, if they even struggle with alcohol.

The majority of the people who drink don't struggle with alcohol, and neither will people stuggle with marijuana in a situation where that is legal. In the Netherlands it's legal, and it works out fine.

Just because there are idiots who abuse it doesn't mean we should punish the whole population for it.

you know, i don’t care if my friends drink or not, i don’t look down on them in the slightest. in every day life that is.

"In every day life that is"? So you do look down on them if they drink?

i’ll look down on whoever i want though, drunk people are mostly troublesome, inconsiderate and bad for the overall mood.

This implies that all people who drink get immensly drunk and cause a ruckus. That's just a small group. If I leave a bar at 2 or 3 AM, most people there are still normally functional human beings who mind their own business.

Looking down on people who drink means looking down on the majority of the adult population.

"“In every day life that is”? So you do look down on them if they drink?"
well, that's what i just said, isn't it?

"This implies that all people who drink get immensly drunk and cause a ruckus. That’s just a small group. If I leave a bar at 2 or 3 AM, most people there are still normally functional human beings who mind their own business."
no, it does not imply that…? i can only speak for myself though. and functional doesn't mean pleasant to be with, and being "tipsy" already implies you're affected. idc what people do with their free time, as long as they don't have to do it around me. it's like inviting someone to a LARP event although this person hates LARP, but you deem it to be something a "normal" person just does.

"Looking down on people who drink means looking down on the majority of the adult population."
yep, sounds like something i'd do. just because the majority does it, doesn't mean i have to comply or agree with it.
a few decades ago smoking was the norm, yet this trend is disappearing. alcohol is still normal for the majority, because of historical habit, aka tradition.

This thread is spamming my email so i am unsubscribing.

I am so glad you shared this completely necessary information.

If you dislike being around people under the effect of alcohol, why go to places that serve alcohol? You're only make this hard for yourself.

Never been arrested, but I've gotten drunk plenty of times.

You really aren't supposed to drink for emotional support though.

First of all, smoking is not really comparable, because unlike drinking, most people who smoke are addicted to it and smoke on a daily basis. Alcohol is not just around because of tradition, that's just ridiculous.

Second, how are tipsy people not pleasant to be with? Tipsy implies that they are barely affected yet. They will feel a bit different from the inside, and maybe slur a bit, but oftentimes you can't really tell people who haven't had anything and people who've had three beers apart in their behavior. Changes in judgement and being unable to use a bike and such don't come until much later.

If people are unpleasant when they are tipsy, they are unpleasant people.

I can imagine you rather not being around people who are wasted or have become agressive, but you're kind of overstating the effects of alcohol. (Not to mention kinda acting like you're better than non-drinkers)

I don't like drinking but I'm fine with people who does, I just wish that people who drink, will do it moderately. On the other hand I fucking hate when people get drunk, they make everyone uncomfortable and sometimes they get in trouble, theres nothing good in getting drunk yet still is socially acceptable.

@randomman
That's pretty much impossible, chances are that most of your friends like drinking and you are not to going full fedora saying "sorry I only hangout with people who don't drink" and at least on my case in family reunions there is always someone who gets drunk.

I agree with Ticklechap, just a few drinks with your friends is nice but other that in my opinion it's stupid, and the argument of "lol is just alcohol, nerd" is dumb, there is a bajillion of deaths, injures, crimes and negative health effects related to alcohol that say it's not a good idea to drink too much.

My use of images and bad grammar should tell you when I'm serious and when I'm not.

I said I get drunk but that I don't get in trouble with the authorities. I know my limits when drinking, and I don't support getting stupidly drunk. Every experienced drinker has those nights where he takes a few too many, but that doesn't make us alcoholics yet.

I don't drink and drive, I don't drink and get into fights, I don't drink and get into trouble. I drink and know my limits. If you do get in trouble, you're not drinking correctly and you should fix that.

By drinking more? :3

That's the spirit!

See that's the issue with todays youth, they can't handle enough booze anymore. Chugging at a young age prevents getting hospitalized from booze at an older age. They need to train better! How often don't you hear it, kids of 13-14 years old that have to get their stomach pumped empty at the hospital for downing a bottle of wodka? Back in my day that was called an aperitif.

>deeze overly assertive opinions on drinking
I can actually smell the beta-ness and youth emanating from this thread

I can't take people who hold such staunchly opposing views on drinking seriously, you might aswell just call yourself advanced intellectuals so you can put the cherry on top of that faggot cake.

>"it’s like inviting someone to a LARP event although this person hates LARP"
It's pretty evident from this that your passing commenting on people (drinkers) who aren't even in your social sphere

>"it’s forced fake fun, with ‘fake’ people,"
Woah take it easy mate, have a dri-…oh wait

This thread is hilariously derailed. It started off as a fun thread to share your drunken stories in and ended up being a shitty debate of some sort.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Moving to JFF.

Sorry about that, since it was already turned into debate I decide to post something serious. I haven't got drunk nor arrested but I have been in multiple funny/cringe/dangerous situations caused because someone got drunk the most memorable for me was in highschool.

So one day me and my friends managed to sneak into another class school trip to skip school, so we went to the brewery Modelo (I don't know who think it was a good idea to send a bunch on teens to brewery), everything was boring until they let us go to a kind of bar inside the brewery I don't know why but they let us drink but yeah… you can guess everyone got drunk! or at least tipsy.

The other group mostly consisted on girls, (probably with some speciality that appeal more to girls, something like cooking or clinical laboratorist I don't know…) and as you guess things get out of hand fast, my friend started teasing the girls and to my surprise they didn't get mad, then a friend mine just for keks say "lets play english week!" and they agree.

English week is a poor excuse game that teens use to kiss girls, basically you had to guess were this girl is going to turn his face if you guess right you get a kiss if not you get slapped, for me it was pretty easy since I was mostly sober, still I take some slaps, theirs slaps were no joke though, some friend mine got dropped to the ground by a girl slap.

So I went from kissing zero girls in my 16 years of life to kiss I think 6 girls several times in one day, So yeah that was memorable. I remember that the next week (the trip was on a weekend) most of the girls didn't want to talk to us probably out of shame haha.

I could go into more detail but I will end up in a even more long ass story than it is.

tl. dr: Highschool, school trip, girls get drunk, things happen…

you're goddamn right

look, i have no idea how old you are, i'm about 21 now, say "ah, you haven't seen shit yet, mah boy" if you want, but the only person i was able to drink a beer or two and then stop was 1. my dad and 2. the driver at parties. i don't attend student parties or anything like that anymore, i don't want to be the party pooper and neither do i care how wasted my friends get, i already said i don't "look down" on them or anyone else who drinks alcohol. but i can't not look down on anyone getting wasted as hell, i cringe every time i remember doing that myself.
i don't care if they'd have a beer or three, or a glass of whine, but no order of high percentage alcohol has ended with everyone being just 'tipsy'.
so yeah, i might be a huge crybaby about a large part of my social circle not being able to think of anything more fun than total delirium on friday and saturday nights, but i think you're imagining me as someone who judges anyone who dares to raise a glass of beer to their lips. but that's not how it is (though, mywording is pretty over the top most of the time).
the knowledge of how i behave when i'm 'tipsy', and the lack of it when i'm wasted is the main thing that puts me off from hanging out with people when alcohol is involved.

i still think alcohol is still around/ legal because of tradition, i already said that if it would've been invented 50 years ago it's be illegal by toady's standards of drug policy.

@Laika:
whatever, i don't LARP (i've been invited to once though), i just had to think of something pretty embarressing (no hate on anyone who does, it's impossible not to drop a clanger here).
