drinking to get drunk

viclemronny

I'd say it depends on what you define as drunk. Different people class different levels of inebriation as "drunk". As in some would go tipsy->merry->getting there->half cut->drunk. Others may say on the way->drunk->smashed->a disgrace.

Personally, I drink to feel the effect of alcohol. It takes the edge off reality just nicely. Anyone who just has a drink to 'relax' is lying. If they wanted to relax, then they could do it without alcohol. If the say that sometimes they like a drink, then it's because they like the effect of alcohol.

Everyone drinks to alter their mood/perception/etc. To what extent they do so and to what they consider drunk determines whether or not they 'drink to get drunk'.

I like having a few drinks with my mates with the intention to relax and have a good time, if that means I get drunk then grand, if not I still have fun and enjoy myself either way.

Same here. And I'll get funny looks if I say something like that. Besides, my booze tolerance has hit rock bottom, I've had one beer tonight and I'm feeling tipsy already. But if I want to get mad, then I'll drink like a sponge and get twisted.

You are my hero. All hail king Jameson

If its out for a few pints for a chat or to watch a match then getting drunk is not the aim, although these nights have ended up being drunkin nights.

Going out on a Saturday night Id be lying if getting locked by the end of the night was not the general plan for me and most of my friends. I hate that feeling when you check the time in the club and its 15 mins till they stop serving and your not drunk enough. A few quick jagers and a straight Jameson or two usually solve the problem .

exactly, theres no alcoholic drink that I actually prefer the taste of rather then a soft drink or something. I usually drink just to fairly drunk or until my money runs out,which is most of the time..

You cant get laid on your computer:p(well other then a palm sandwich but that doesnt really count)

I drink for two reasons I love beer and I love being drunk.
However if you end up being locked and not remembering the night thats fooking pointless

Yes, I drink. I’m a drinker. There are many reasons. Do any of them matter? Not really. Not as long as I can get my lips on something that’s gone through the fermentation process. A tankard of ale. A tumbler of scotch. A bathtub of mead. I’m a hard liver. And consequently, I have one. I take my drinking seriously. I get upset when I hear Eric Burdon sing “Spill the wine.” I’ve made arrangements to be cremated and my ashes kept in a Smirnoff bottle. There are many excuses for why I drink. I drink because alcohol makes me feel better. I drink because my local bartender needs to pay off his creditors. I drink because everyone from Bogart to Bukowski to the entire cast of the Bible drank.

That's bollocks. I haven't been properly drunk in several years but I still drink regularly because I like the taste of my drinks. I've been in awful states of drunkenness before and freely admit it (in this very forum) so I have no business looking down on anyone. These days, I drink to enjoy myself, which doesn't necessarily involve large amounts of alcohol.

The problem when I drink to get drunk is that when it comes time for me to drive home, I have to ask a passer-by to hold the car steady so that I can get the key into the door lock.
Going to get me one of those new 'proximity keys' that the car will start when the key's just in my pocket...

yeah the same. Not a lover of the taste of alcohol. Some people seem to come alive with a few pints in them.
