Why do people always talk about how wasted they got - General

Why do people always talk about getting wasted or how drunk they were ?? I just don't quite understand why people talk about it.. Does it make you look cooler because you got wasted? what are you trying to prove by telling people that you got drunk and partied the entire weekend? Am I suppose to feel jealous because you got wasted and partied the entire weekend?

[QUOTE=XIII_GT;27779598][b]does it make you look cooler because you got wasted?[/b][/QUOTE] Yes.

[QUOTE=VeniVidiVici74;27779779]Yes.[/QUOTE] If you're a confident person, you wouldn't go around telling ppl about how hard u partied. It seems to me the people who goes around and tell everyone how wasted they got are just trying to appear confident/cool infront of ppl .. am i right

[QUOTE=XIII_GT;27779598]what are you trying to prove by telling people that you got drunk and partied the entire weekend?

You could reply with what you got up to, or continue being a dick.

It depends on how old the person is. < 20; probably a sense of pride.

I agree completely. It's so fucking stupid. "Herp derp, I got so wasted yesterday then I puked 7 times and again this morning. I'm so cool, right?" And then it sets a standard for everybody else, so then everyone gets wasted and kills brain cells. And because we're actually smart and don't drink 'til we're stupid as fuck, we become unpopular and laughed at. I don't get it.

Because they enjoy exchanging stories about it?

It's funny how here in Finland, you automatically become some sort of a hero if you drink while you're underage. Now that I, and most of my friends too, have turned 18 already, drinking and getting wasted is just something we do, not something to constantly talk about.

[QUOTE=Dav0r;27783748]"So what did you do this weekend?" compared to "So what did you do last night, which was a tuesday?"[/QUOTE] Not sure how that follows my post. Anyway, either of those questions are just flacid small talk reserved for people you don't know all that well. Or narcissistic fuckscoffs who want to compare clubbing sessions or the like.

There are usually a lot of good stories involved with being "wasted"

"I got drunk like a pig and insulted everyone I know and showed them how deepshit I was and then I did something retarded and it got on YouTube"

It's called conversation. You'd probably know about it if you had friends.

[QUOTE=Nikita;27789760]"I got drunk like a pig and insulted everyone I know and showed them how deepshit I was and then I did something retarded and it got on YouTube"[/QUOTE] Not everyone acts like a mentally challenged child when drunk. Get better friends.

It all translates to "I put a lot of not-for-children substance in my body and that makes me edgy and cool in some way. Be proud of me." [QUOTE=VeniVidiVici74;27779779]Yes.[/QUOTE] No.

op doesn't get invited to parties

Maybe they get so fucked up, they tell their friends in the hopes they'll bring up the stuff they did the night before. Because they can't remember on account of being wasted. Unless their friends were wasted too, then the person is fucked.

Usually people who talk about how wasted they got are very social and aren't left out like OP here

Okay, so listen...last night I got so wasted I was like..oh shit I forgot...anyhow it was way cool. ^ Same problem with people telling their dreams to you.

Obviously whole facepunch lie that they smoke weed or other drugs, deal with it junkies. (If they did some drugs they wouldn't be on internet) More like street hobos [editline]1st February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;27792704]Usually people who talk about how wasted they got are very social and aren't left out like OP here[/QUOTE] They risk there life to be social, atleast OP is smarter then the stupid junkies.

[QUOTE=Linkage;27789699]There are usually a lot of good stories involved with being "wasted"[/QUOTE] Yeah, stories like [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/631191-I-played-Oblivion-blacked-out-drunk-and-here-s-what-happened-(via-picture-story)]this[/url] for example :v:

because bad decisions make good stories. and drink often leads to bad decisions.

dude im like so wasted. uhhhh fukin drunk n shit....

They had fun, and they want to share their fun experience with you.

99% of the people I know are always wated including me. It's just fun to share stuff like that. Would be a bit pathetic if you are drunk by yourself having no one to share it with.

OP is talking about going to the point of drinking where it becomes insanely dumb and then talking about the drinking the next day, not all the fun stuff that probably wasn't all that fun, it only seemed so because of the effects of the alcohol. Also, it's bad for you to assume that I don't, because you don't know me. Just makes you look like an ass.

"I got wasted the other night but I am never going to speak of it again."
