Getting drunk!

[SeeDRankLou]

I disapprove of and dislike people who make a habit of "getting drunk/pissed".

In my opinion, it's very immature and irresponsible. Sorry, just being honest. :/

How so? And how often is "make a habit of"? (that might answer the first question)

My first time getting drunk was fun and very funny. Many shots of Southern Comfort, and fun stuff and funny conversation. It was memorable. And I didn't have a hangover the next day, which was nice (just drink a lot of water before hand).

But I would suggest that if you plan to drink on your prom night, there is a decent chance, especially if this is your first time, that you may not remember the rest of the evening. It's prom, you're suppose to remember this evening, so don't get too drunk.

Soda is cheaper, tastes better, and you don't regret it in the morning.

And can also give you type 2 diabetes, yay!

And by the sound of it, you're underage, which is another good reason not to get drunk.

Getting drunk is only cool if you are underage. It is just not quite as cool anymore if you aren't but still fun.

As long as they are having fun and aren't being a totally violent drunk I don't see anything wrong with it. Some people see it as a way of having fun, saying you "disapprove" sounds so stuck up. Sorry, just being honest.

First time I got drunk was many a New Years Eve ago. I got absolutley wasted on an old friend, vodka (which I now believe to be a vile drink). I was bad but my friend was worse: he puked in my back garden and then I had to carry him, covered in voimet, all the way back to his house. Lucky I met his twin on the way and he gave me a hand.

Arrested by the cops for mooning them, thrown in the drunk tank.

Raine, I think there are mature and responsible people out there who do like to go out for a drink from time to time (my parents for one), and they come home buzzed/drunk. This dosen't happen on a daily basis, as it only happens maybe three times a month. My parents are extremely mature and responsible, and you do sound stuck up, as the above poster stated.

i remember so I must not have been too drunk at the time i was at a friends 21st b-day party. it was quite a fun time. they had everything too...jello shots, wine-coolers, smirnoffs and of course beer. i don't like the beer much. i did have a pretty good buzz though. just don't over-do it. my friends mom wouldn't let us drive home either. she just let us minors crash at her house. and my friend who is my bf now was up until 5 am singing along to bob seiger XD. funn stuff. and don't get drunk around people you don't trust; thats how you get drinking horror stories.

now my friends suck...my 21st is comming up this saturday and i don't think im going out or anything cause i cant ged a DD... ive been looking forward to this day and for what? to sit on my bum at home? I do that anyway!

I've changed my mind. I'm gonna play mum, and go hyper instead. That way, I can stay in control, and NOT throw up everywhere, whilst simultaneously making an idiot of myself! Problem solved! I'll still have, like one Bacardi Breezer though, but make it last. My friends are all desperate to get drunk.

Getting drunk can be a total blast if done right , it's like a fine art - If you have planned the evening carefully and have all your bases covered.

These are my steps for an evening of drunken debauchery.

1) Have your poison bought in advance.
2) DON'T have to be anywhere the next morning, preferably the next day. I like to take a full day to recoup.
3) Drink at home, or your apartment, or a friend's apartment or the motel room you are renting... wherever you're going to sleep for the night. I am not a big fan (personally) of the bar scene and like to get silly drunk in a place I'm comfortable surrounded by people I'm comfortable with. Watch movies, order pizza, play stupid board games - have a great time!

Follow these three simple steps and you'll have a laugh riot. Deviate from these three cardinal rules and you are introducing unknown factors that could screw up your whole night.

Also, for myself, I don't tend to do this more than once or possibly twice a month. Any more and it starts to get "not as fun" anymore. I like to keep those nights far and few between.

And the first time I got drunk was awesome... but again, I followed the three basic rules for an awesome drunk night and everything went off without a hitch.

Meh' getting drunk is great, if you're someone who doesn't throw up.

The first I got drunk was one of the most fun nights of my life. It was new year's eve of 2003, and I got wasted off vodka cruisers. I had very sore teeth the next morning, but it was ok, because I woke up with a girlfriend.

I'm fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to remember nearly everything that happens while I'm drunk, and I've only ever had two hangovers. This is because I know when to say when, and stop drinking, unlike most of my friends. xD

The first time I got completely drunk was actually at my after-prom, and I ended up puking, heh. Wasn't very good. I mixed with too many drinks and too much vodka. I never want to feel like I did that night...ever.

I've never been drunk and I don't plan to ever be. Though, I am surrounded by drunk people alot, I always end up paying for thier taxis home.

I had a Mormon friend that I ended up getting drunk for his first time, less than two months ago on our way back from Iraq. (Even if you are underage, if you're in the military, most people don't care and will sell you alcohol anyway. If not, there's always somebody who looks enough like you to borrow an ID from.) He was an awesome guy, but annoying as hell when he was drunk. Just picture a 6'5" Mormon without a bit of tolerance drinking vodka, tequila, Jack Daniels, and Goldschlager (the latter two being my personal favorites).

Some people are alright when they're drunk, but some people don't know how to act...like that guy. Usually it comes with experience, but sometimes it comes slowly. You'll always have people that turn into little kids when they're drunk, or people that turn into sluts, or the guys that don't give a damn anymore and piss all over your steps. Then you gotta worry about the sickly ones, making sure they get to a safe spot to throw up...it's a busy job sometimes.

Drinking water does help a lot with hangovers, though. The main cause of hangovers is dehydration--alcohol makes you exhale more water vapor (respiration is the primary, if not only, way alcohol leaves the body, as well). Drinking more water before you finish up the night might make you throw up, or it might all stay in your system, but either way would help with the next morning.

I had a lot of fun my first time. There was no pressure, everyone just tried it and just had a blast. Now, it's an integral part of my daily lifestyle.

I should probably mention that I always cry when I'm drunk, well all of last year I did, but that was a different time and I don't drink much anymore for personal reasons. However, all alcohol REALLY did to me was exaggerate the way I normally behaved. Example, I'm a stubborn little brat, and when I say I want to go outside and play you'd better let me or I'll make your life not so nice.

Which is, of course, a lot better than liver cancer and alcoholism. That's still a lot of positives and only one negative.

And by the sound of it, you're underage, which is another good reason not to get drunk.

Getting drunk is only cool if you are underage. It is just not quite as cool anymore if you aren't but still fun.

It's never cool, actually, you just can't remember it when you're drunk. It's especially stupid when you're underage - while 21 is an arbitrary age to say "you're responsible enough to drink", it isn't because you suddenly become responsible enough, it's because it can generally be assumed most people are by that age. Anyway, every single drunk I have ever encountered was a total retard, when drunk anyway.

Actually, I shouldn't call them retards. That's an insult to retards everywhere.
