what's the point in drinking alcohol

[Minstrels]

Sorry but I simply don't believe you've drunk much in the past. You're talking of people getting in fights and aggression constantly, you'd realise if you frequently got drunk or hung around with drunk people this isn't the case. You also speak of how you "could" make a friend and never see them again, if you'd got drunk you wouldn't be saying "could" because no doubt you would of made "drunk friends" you wouldn't see again.

The point you're missing is, it's a lot of fun. Perhaps it's a little bit sad in society that to have lots of fun, sometimes you require a few drinks but there's no real harm done, just a lot of fun to be had.

I don't particularly care what you believe so I don't understand why you've tried to reiterate it. It changes from situation. Sure if you're drinking round a party the chances are it'll be a laugh and trippy, same about a night out depending where you're at and you keep your head down but reality is if you want a fight whilst drunk in town you'll find one easily. I'm not saying everyone fights whilst drunk but I've seen it plenty of times when lads I know have kicked off because of one reason or another (mainly because they go out looking for something and they'll find it). Also if you go on any football away day with the 'lads' you'll see it kick off. This is down to a mixture of high alcohol intake and testosterone, same on a night out if you're all in groups.

I've met plenty of people who I've spoken to all night, add them on Facebook then delete them a while later because I'll not bother with them again. Hell, Thursday night I was at a party where I didn't know the guy but acted like his mate because it was his birthday, I didn't bother with him again.

I'm not missing that point. Yes it is fun but the morning after sometimes isn't.

Well for a lightweight such as myself, costs about £5 to get to a nice drunk state, and i never get a hangover (even that one time when i drunk too much, but we wont go into that) and i infact feel better in the morning. so not that bad at all.

haha wish it was that easy for me! I stopped getting blotto so much after I kept passing out and just disapearing for hours on end. was mega sick one night cz i was walked home (10 min walk, took me 2 hours) it was in winter and i was wearing a t-shirt left my jacket at house party.... i was soooooooooo ill. lol

Nobody gave you the choice to drink till you are pissed. People do drink and do stop.

You sound like some kid who hangs around in groups getting smashed, this is why we getting bollocked by the police becasue people like you set a bad example.


Oh, I havent had a hangover in years, some people need to realize that there are good tricks where you can drink loads and still feel okay in the morning.

It's fun, boosts confidence, calms me down and makes me not hate some people so much, that I may speak to them.. :L

Also, stella is horrible. I drink flavoured cider called Kopparberg at pubs, it tastes great, or magners, and vodka and coke or shots at nightclubs, which also taste pretty goood.

[flatface]

forget stella, vodka is where the parties at
