Kind of get the feeling he posted this to bring attention to the fact that he was a "loser" and now he's cool because he knows what being drunk is like
I don't need alcohol to have a good time at parties.
Also, drinking alcohol will not suddenly make you "cool", anyone who thinks that is just plain dumb.
Why rate him dumb? It's a great guide not to get thrown up beyond fuckery.
Or those who rated him dumb are 12 years old.

Protip: Some girls find non-drinkers pretty misterious and (depending on how drunk she is) attractive.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much all girls prefer a guy who doesn't get wasted. Not to mention when you are wasted you won't be very capable when talking with them.
No that doesn't mean you shouldn't drink alcohol at all, there is a difference between drinking some alcohol and getting wasted.
Why would you want to be "cool" anyway?
I would rather be myself.
I went to my first house party on Wednesday. It was the most fun I've had all year. Unfortunately the next day was the most pain I have experienced all year...

But drinking helps you relax. I'm usually shy when I'm sober so after a few beers at a party it's all good

My first house party I got involved in a drinking game on an empty stomach (I didn't eat before I went)
Spent half the night with my head in a bin liner :v:
Never drink on an empty stomach
the main thing i hate about alcohol is the fact that whenever im out on the town i always manage to find an atm and get money out

to have fun? if you know your limits getting drunk just helps you to make friends and have fun, sure you can meet friends and have fun sober but being drunk makes it a hell of a lot easier
I was never afraid of alcohol, but the one time I consumed it in quantities (at the only party I was ever invited to :c) was fun. I mean my good friend ended up blowing me and that was weird but otherwise I had a good time.
Poor kid got happiness because his love probably invited to him to a party.

Normally I drink because it relaxes me, and makes me more confident and talkative which is great when meeting new people.

Alcohol pretty much does what you tell it.
If you allow it to, it can intensify your awareness and allows you to quickly bond with people. Many people have the belief that alcohol will help them be more social/positive things, so that's exactly what it does.
In general I think it's useful to bond with others by drinking together, and this can be very important if you're a wallflower nerdè.

[QUOTE=Rellow;32332646]i don't get it
if alcohol tastes like shit then why do people drink it[/QUOTE]
A wild stab in the dark, but were you raised to believe alcohol was bad?
If so, don't worry about it, but just consider that other people have different perspectives to you, and you may sometimes come across too strongly in your defence if your beliefs.
No one is ever 'wrong' about anything internally, they just have a different perspective to you on certain things, which they believe due to influences in their lives, perhaps the experience they had at school or how their parents raised them.
Being 'cool' is the dumbest thing ever.
I couldn't give two shits if I was cool, I want to be myself.
People who drink to be cool are idiots, if I drink, I drink because I like what I'm drinking.
And I don't really drink Alchohol.
Parties are amazing.
And alcohol helps with the atmosphere, really it does and it helps you make friends.
Drinking is a social experience.
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;32331336]How come I don't get laid all the time then?
In all seriousness though none of my close friends go to parties so I wouldn't go to one even if I got invited. I suck at meeting new people and wouldn't drink anyway.[/QUOTE]
Drinking can help you there.

Yourself isn't cool :v:
[QUOTE=Zeke129;32331499]you don't know what you're talking about
only shit alcohol tastes bad
go find some good beers and drink those, or check the internet for new mixed drinks you can make[/QUOTE]
I find beer fucking horrible.
Like the main reason most of you guys never get invited to shit or dont have friends or whatever.
It's because people think you're a partypooper, pussy, is afraid of everything, insecure.
it all gets fixed by going to a party, where people find out about you and think: "This guy is actually pretty cool and funny too" then they invite you too more parties and other activities.
and after a while you're ALPHA as FuCk

It's an aquired taste.
This is the worst thing i've read entire week
[QUOTE=TheRipper12;32331510]I haven't had many expensive liquors so you could be right. but everything ive had has had some 'kick' to it. I don't think I could sit and just sip any of the alcohol I have had before.[/QUOTE]
then you have much left to learn.
what you've stated in your OP is good enough advice for people that have never drunk before. but it's not solid, and there is much more to drinking and enjoying yourself than that.
and in the same way that you don't need to drink alcohol to have fun, you don't need to drink alcohol *just* to get drunk. plenty of people enjoy drinking a beer or two without aiming to be drunk. i love cider, and will happily have a bottle in the evening at weekends and whatnot, but i am not aiming to be drunk at all.
moderation is such a key word with alcohol, and if all you're talking about is taking shots then you're not really covering many bases.
drinking shots is a competition I don't even know where you were going with that
who would even drink 1 shot an hour, typically you go through multiple shots in a matter of minutes
[QUOTE=Patroclus Rex;32334721]Yourself isn't cool :v:[/QUOTE]
Yourself is the coolest thing around, but you have to be willing and open to change.
Basically, being social and being yourself are two different things.
Social is a skill, you can improve this. Hell, why wouldn't you wanna? Yourself on the other hand, is, well, you. You're a culmination of beliefs, anxiety's, pressures and insecurities which developed inside you throughout your life, and built into your 'character'.
I like to think of life as a story book, with every new page and chapter coming more new experiences for our protagonist (you).
You have the power to decide that nothing negative that happened before the new chapter (starting right this second) has to have any impact on your life from now on.
Perhaps in this chapter you want to live in the moment, become a social badass, develop your skills and be a generally respected guy who lives his own life, and who everyone likes.
Stop being a Sidelined NPC and start becoming the Main Character.
I don't really know why but i'm pretty popular in my area i get invited to do shit pretty often, if i have money..
but i'm still a hardcore gamer, oh and trust me, chicks dig the confident funny nerds
i remember back when alcohol was new
good times
Alcohol isn't required to have a good time. But drinking Alcohol is having a good time, in a good environment with good people.
Asher Roth reference :P
