Why is alcohol used as an excuse?

[e5]

You answered your own question there matey. We are all different. We all respond differently to alcohol than each other. Some remember, some don't. Some do stupid stuff my accident, some intend to. Everyone is different.

I've been in hospital through drink once before, and I was absolutely off it - couldn't remember a thing after drinking a high amount alcohol in one go. I went there again on saturday (same state, no need for hospital as family took care of me) and I never want to do it again. It was dreadful - the hangover and the sick. In hospital, they sober you up and you have no hangover, but at home you sober yourself up and feel ****!

i generally remember everything from the night before. everyone is different though and so will have different tolerances.

Answers are aready give. But I'll point out, that only because you experienced the depression or what not, doesn't mean shake others head and say wtf why you doin that.

What are you talking about? I never suffered depression, I was dumb and drank because it was "cool".

In my experience, I would say when you drink, you do stuff that you want to do when you're sober, but just don't because lack of confidence/its embarassing.
e.g. There was a girl I kinda liked, that I ended up kissing and what not after a half bottle of whiskey, so I used that as an excuse, that I just wouldn't have if sober, simply because I knew I would get the piss taken out of me for such a long time, and I still am lol. I mean, she's quite pretty and has a good body and what not, but it's just the fact she's incredibly annoying and just really childish, that gets everyone taking the piss.
Although on the other hand, I've watched Jeremy Kyle a couple of times, and I've seen them using drink as an excuse for beating up their wives/girlfriends, and I just think that's ********.

If you drink you are knowingly taking a risk of becoming drunk and thus loose control over your actions.. personal resposiblity.

Yeah I only drink alcohol when I want to get drunk, I don't enjoy the taste that much so I'll only drink it for the benefits of being pissed - when I'm with other people or at parties, not a lone drunk

I have done a couple of silly things when drunk but not like ridiculous, it was mainly just me being more clumsy that usual.

I think it depends on a lot. For instance, food intake, your mood, the crowd your with, what you WANT and what you're drinking.

A lot of people avoid vodka at all costs because you get the vodka anger as i've heard it called, basically it makes you unnessessarily grumpy. I've felt it before and I've seen it... not in teens in adults like family members/friends?

Also, I would bet my wage packet the "2ltr vodka" you drank wasn't what hit you. Alcohol takes an hour to take affect. You could force a bottle of vodka down in 30 minutes, piss three times and throw most of it up. Be effected by about a quarter of it.

We've all done stupid stuff while drunk. You're lying if you say otherwise, or you've just not been properly drunk. And hell yeah, memory loss is a problem. If i don't get the "OH YOU DONE THIZZZZZ..." phone call or chat i'll lose they memories. When reminded i'll remember it all, or at least a little snippet .

When I first started getting drunk (14/15 maybe), I would get drunk to the point that I was pretty much passed out and was sick during the night - I could never remember what happened the night before. But back then, me and my mates would just try and get any guy to get us alcohol from the shop and we'd just be like BIG BOTTLE OF VODDY PLEEEEEZ!!!!!!11

Now, I am more responsible, even though I do get soooooooooooooooo friggen drunk and at my 18th house party I pretty much passed out at 10pm (thats okay tho right lol so embarrasing) I am never sick and can handle my drink a lot better!!!!! I think you have to take the experience and learn how much you can drink, some people can't drink as much as others to become 'PREOPPPPPPPER DWWUU8NK!!!' but some just may be faking, tbh we'll never know.

Slightly off topic, but there was a guy back in school who was offered a shot of water at a party. They said it was vodka, where he was then 'pissed' out of his head moments later... lmao
