I don't know if this has been posted but it's a new ad campaign to target binge drinking in Australia, thought I'd share [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBnoXi4-8WY[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob9tdrazWgM[/media]

How about not drinking at all?
"fuckeyed"
[QUOTE=Katla;44138187]How about not drinking at all?[/QUOTE] If that's the way you wanna do it, have fun. But this thread isn't about that :)
I can't help it, all i see from that guy in tie is Archer preaching how to drink properly :v: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeaGXjD_iDY[/media]
I don't understand how people find it hard to have a few drinks and leave it at that. One of my friends drinks too much and always gets angry reminiscing about the past, I just ignore him eventually.
[QUOTE=Katla;44138187]How about not drinking at all?[/QUOTE] That sounds like a very boring party.

[QUOTE=EskillV2;44139296]It is only what you make out of it. You can have a fun without booze.[/QUOTE] True, but chances are you'll have more fun with alcohol. I used to be one of those "I don't need to drink to have fun" kids but provided you take it in moderation it can be hella fun.
[QUOTE=Lukeo;44139166]I don't understand how people find it hard to have a few drinks and leave it at that. One of my friends drinks too much and always gets angry reminiscing about the past, I just ignore him eventually.[/QUOTE] I have to literally force myself to stop drinking too much once I start, even if I had something harmless like a beer. I just feel myself physically crave more. For me, I think it's genetic, had some alcoholics in my family.
My problem with drinking is I can pound back just about anything, alcohol doesn't taste bad to me and I end up drinking quite a bit due to how little I taste it or feel it
[QUOTE=EskillV2;44139296]It is only what you make out of it. You can have a fun without booze.[/QUOTE] Some things are just more fun with booze. It isn't a requirement, but it can be an enhancer.
Sometimes you haven't lived until you wake up at noon on the floor of someone's apartment and wondered where the hell the last 12 hours went

And i wouldn't call that living if you spend the next day trying to survive the timbermen in your head and figuring out what you did last night.

And i wouldn't call that living if you spend the next day trying to survive the timbermen in your head and figuring out what you did last night.[/QUOTE] I've built a system to cope, it starts during the session, a pint of water after 6 pints or 5 glasses of spirits/whisky then repeat as the night goes on drinking less booze and more water. At the end of the night I take 2 painkillers and eat something. In the morning I take 2 more painkillers and drink some juice, this generally solves all problems. There's some occasions all bets are off however, its a hardcore session that goes on till the early morning and then restarts in the evening. In these cases as you sober up and begin to feel the effects you drink again and the symptoms are postponed. It's really bad for you however and you suffer. These only happen in my case if its a big event like a wedding, wake, or special party.

Use: Hung over - IE: I was hung over yesterday. Cool videos. I love the 'Be an adult while still being fucking cool' approach. As opposed to the 'guilt trips' and 'What ifs' approaches of many other videos.
How about: don't get so drunk that other people have to take care of you. Because fuck you I'm out to have a good time, not babysit your ass.
I always stop drinking when I start feeling dizzy, never got shitfaced. I'm still not sure if that's a good or bad thing
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;44142011]I always stop drinking when I start feeling dizzy, never got shitfaced. I'm still not sure if that's a good or bad thing[/QUOTE] It is a great thing. People who get shitfaced are selfish because in the end they get in the way of other people's enjoyment.

[QUOTE=EskillV2;44139296]It is only what you make out of it. You can have a fun without booze.[/QUOTE] Gee, Thanks mom!
it's fine if you drink booze it's fine if you don't just don't be tellin people to drink booze and don't be tellin people to not drink it unless they have a serious problem
Getting shitfaced every now and then is fine if you're not prone to doing really stupid shit. Nothing wrong with getting drunk and getting a root out of it, just make sure you got protection. Drinking makes everything fun, just in moderation & not getting plastered too often, nothing worse than a killer hangover then working the next day. One time I tried working hung over, couldn't puke it out of my system in the morning so I was like "fuck it" and went to work. As soon as I started talking to a customer I bent over and vomited yesterday's meals up & some terribly strong smelly alcohol smelling substance that looked like thick goopy urine. (Didn't drink beer or anything yellow either). The guy I was talking to was like "what the fuck dude" and somehow I wasn't fired, just made to clean it up. [QUOTE=EskillV2;44139296]It is only what you make out of it. You can have a fun without booze.[/QUOTE] life of the party aren't ya
Guess I'm fortunate because I get shitfaced almost every time I drink and I don't do anything rude/lewd/obscene or violent. I just like singing and enjoying everything when I'm drunk. I can't remember most of what I've done, but I don't fuck with anyone or get sick so I think it's all good and I've only ever had one hangover. Some people just handle booze better than others I guess.

Sometimes, getting shitfaced is fun. But I like to limit myself most of the time.
