Only drink if you're gonna get locked

sounds like you need to learn to handle your drink

Define locked?

If you're talking face down in a puddle of puke, having pissed yourself, well no.

In fact, what's wrong with having a beer or two, or a glass of wine without having to finish the bottle?

Definitely. Why drink one or two pints? You might as well just drink milk

It is sad that there are actually people in Ireland who think like that.

Hail 2 Da Thief

Sometimes it's nice to have 2 or 3 pints & leave it at that!

I suppose it depends whether you particularly like the taste of the drink or not.. I wouldn't be mad about the taste of most alcoholic drinks, so I generally wouldn't drink it for any other reason than to get drunk.

I go out to have the craic, drinking as I do so. If I get drunk its a side effect, its not the goal.


However, a few mates end up downing naggins and stuff in order to get hammered, and tbh it sucks being the only sober person, people are retards when they are drunk, unless you are too

I agree with you 100%.

Saying "ah I'll have a few pints and end up drunk" is one thing. But when your goal is to get drunk before the night is even halfway over there's no point in going out at all; you're just wasting money.

I don't drink to get drunk but I also wouldn't just have one or two pints. If I was only able to have one pint I'd much prefer to have a glass of orange juice or a coke. Likewise I'd never have a glass of wine with dinner, I'll just stick to water. If I do drink it would usually be 4 cans of beer minimum, anything lower than that and I'd much rather stay sober and be able to drive home.

This.

Yes, if I'm drinking, I may end up drunk, but getting drunk is the adventure but not the destination.

Yes, I might (actually not even might, would) have shots, beers, spirits, what have you, but just drinking to get abso wankered, no thanks. I'm not 16.

I dont, 2 years plus sober and loving it

i go out for the craic, for the friends i meet and the women, Drink helps with me because i can be very shy sober, getting drunk can provide brilliant memories and start friendships, thats why i get drunk.
theres no point getting a little drunk, if your going to get drunk then go on a 'mad one' if not then stay sober and be able to drive

HUNK

Sure one time I drank 20 cans and I was grand!


















although it was over a period of 3 days, and I had a few glasses of water between every 3 pints or so. I had also had plenty to eat and got plenty of rest during that time. It was also only 4% carling beer. I had also given away a few ends to a few of my mates and also gave away 1 or 2 cans to a couple of people who were a few short. Not to mention that I broke the seal after my second beer and frequented the bathroom every 20 minutes.

But lol disregard all that, 20 cans I'm deadly!

Something doesn't have to surprising to be extremely sad or pathetic.

you should probably go and see a alcohol counselor before it gets to far out of hand,

good luck.

It's sunday evening and I'm having pizza and watching Top Gear whilst drinking some Tiger beers. I won't get drunk but I probably wont feel this relaxed all week.

Bottles of beer or a glass of wine are fantastic for just chilling out and relaxing, getting drunk often ruins that

I do drink to get drunk - I don't see the point otherwise. But then again there's drunk, and then there's totally fcukin' langered off your face. The latter I do very rarely, the former I do very regularly.

Cheap Thrills!

When I were young .........erm....all this were fields.....yarrrrrrrrrr


oh yeh when I were young I thought the object of drinking was a 'get fcuked up' competition.

And I was winning too, but then 'they' :cool: changed the rules. There were dinner parties and kids everywhere. Soon people drank to 'stay sober' and no longer recognised the achievement of being the most pissed person at the party.

:cool:

Bastuds. Ruinin' my sport with their new fangled 'moderation' drinking.

The logical corollary of that concept is to always eat until you puke.

Sad, really.

I dont really drink to get locked but I always do it. Every weekend I drink its full of blackouts which everyone probably gets in Ireland. But in other countries they would think im an alcoholic???

I'm from Ireland and based on the above description I would agree with the "other countries".

"Full of blackouts" is not normal, and deluding yourself that "everyone probably gets in Ireland" is completely wrong.

I wouldn't say I ever really go out with the intention of getting gee-eyed, but once that sweet, sweet alcohol touches my tongue, it's in for a penny, in for a pound. Certain drinks are very attributable to getting completely locked, I can't imagine anyone going out for a quiet Jaegermeister after work, surely it's sole purpose is to get whoever buys it loaded.

Ah well an awful lot of people do anyway. I only really ever drink once a week!

as an ex-drinker, who obviously only drank to get drunk, i only miss the odd 1 or 2 pints of good guinness - if only i kept it that way - it was the aftermath that was the problem

i do miss wine with food
