Drinking

[benchwarmer5]

My real father (darth vader voice), was an alco so if it runs in the family, I was next.

In my late teens to early 20's, I would smash the piggy bank to get a carton of jacks. Now days I cant even stand the smell.

I put it down to just getting old

At what age did your drinking behaviour change ?

My drinking has changed so much since around the age 29...
I have gone from getting drunk around 2 times a week (with the odd 4 day bender) to now being barely interested in finishing a 6 pack or even drinking at all
It hasn't been a concious effort or anything I just cant be bothered with it any more. It is probably a good thing but I cant say I feel any healthier/better.

I love snapchatting while drunk. It's usually just videos of me singing drunkenly so some song, or dancing to some song. Either that, or me pulling some stupid drunk face.

On the emotions of drinking: I am naturally a relatively quiet sort of person, and very laid back. As I drink I get more and more rambunctious. I get relatively loud and obnoxious (only with people I know) and then I become very self centred, try and make everything about me. Then, as I start to sober up I start to get more and more emotional (for lack of a better word) and then I start texting every chick I have the number of.
I never get overly disappointed or pissed off if I'm not pulling as it's not the reason I go out, but I may get down on myself if I miss a chance.

I get really disappointed. I kicked this statue at the State Library a few months ago and woke up with blood at the end of my socks. That was a one-off but I know guys who don't get outwardly violent, just pissed off with themselves and hit pillars, walls... not a good look but who am I to judge, really? As long as you're regretful I don't really care what people do pissed.

Texting girls drunk is the best fun. I pity the poor pricks who don't do it. Life can be boring. Explaining yourself to get out of things is something to do if nothing else.

Interesting and cool to see so many people drop off drinking in their late 20s. For me, having some beers is about going out and all that comes with it. I don't want to be 30 and in a pub all evening and going to nightclubs? Ughghghg, skin crawlin'. One or two here and there but I don't think I'll drink forever.

I think you've gotta be pragmatic about drugs, including alcohol, you can't really moralise accurately one way or the other. Was man meant to get shite faced? Stoned? Addiction is a weird beast. My dad was Deputy CEO of CUB during the halcyon days of the 90s, then my mum became a terrible alcoholic who'd pick me up from school smashed. Kinda ironic I guess; life is weird.

"Australian culture" is bullshit. People get drunk in every country.

A Sunday morning gym session excites me more these days then heading out on a Saturday night.
