Hey i was straightedge til the end of sophmore year, but then i just stopped caring, that and the fact that hardcore is essentially dead didnt help the case either. On the plus side i was the very last out of all of my straightedge friends to break.

Oh God, people have a total misconception of what Alcholism is. I drink, but i don't get drunk by myself, and i don't drink hard liquors or drink in the day. The earliest drink i have ever had was 1pm, after i had finished my last exam.

People seem to think that as soon as beer touches your lips these days, your destined to have a drinking problem.

It's really fecking irritating with my parents, cause they don't care when my bro drinks, but when I drink, they're like, you're far too young! Even though my brother has been drinking for years, and I'm only 2 years younger than him....

oic. You make me sound like a mutant :p

[quote=Bartender]A friend of mine hadn't tried alcohol, and was determined not to (up until the end of school). I met up with him a couple of weeks ago (after we'd both finished the first year of university), and he'd caved in and gotten drunk a couple of times. Not through any love of alcohol, but because he had nothing else to do.

Anyway. Evening all.[/quote]

Right, right. That's fine, though. I'm not saying drinking is bad. Only when you try to drive and then injure/kill yourself. It's just that, for me, I can find many ways to cure boredom than that. But again, I'm not saying what happened is bad. That's just how people react to different stimuli. I'm not claiming that what one person does over another is wrong or right in this case. But no driving while intoxicated, I mean.

Evenin' to you.

[quote=tms]I really can't talk, but I just wanted to extend my condolences to Jom for the death of the family member. I'm sorry.[/quote]

Thanks very much, that was kind of you, albeit not really necessary on your part :)

It's just something I'd rather not discuss right now.

All I have to say to this is I hate Spikey. She's dumb as a rock.

My Dad doesn't mind, he buys me beers, i just hate the way my brother and some of my friends call me an Alchy. Do i sit and drink vodka or cheap cider, i drink about twice a week when i go out or go to a party, or have a beer with my meal.

Well i know quite a few people at my university who do not drink alone but i would still call them alcoholics. There is a particular group i have in mind who get drunk about 5 days a week, and make sure that each time they do drink, they drink so much they black out, because they are of the opinion that its not worth drinking if you dont get completely mashed to the point of not remembering what happened.

If that isnt alcoholism, i dont know what is.

completely losing control is terrifying. Who knows what you can do...

Ok, that probably is, but i don't do that. I have only ever fainted once, and im rarely (if ever) sick.

Yeah, Joe, I'm just kidding about the alcoholism thing. I always think that when you say you're drinking, it's not during the day, due to the time zones and such. :p

That still wouldn't make you alcoholic, but yeah, you get the idea.

I've got the acoustic intro to Dirge for November almost nailed. :cool: It's friggen hard to get the chord changes to transition correctly though...

Oh, and another reason why I've never been drunk is because I hate being sick. I know most people do as well, but even a weak cold just makes me miserable as hell. I haven't had the flu for 2 years now, but the last time I did, I had it baaad. I won't go into details, because I'm sure it's almost a bannable offense. hehe

I have blacked out only a few times, i could count on one hand, so not many. I am not a fan, and i definitely try to avoid it. The problem i encounter now is that the booze in germany is so plentiful and cheap that my tolerance is so high i get sick before i get really drunk. Probably not good for my liver, but i now have a good idea of how drunk i can get before just losing my stomach everywhere.

On a more pleasant note, check out my thread on !T.O.O.H.!

The first time my cousin got drunk he was throwing sand at people saying that it was grenades and that they were all going to die, then he tried to drop kick a tree. Then he got up off the ground because the tree owned him and punched the next guy he saw in the throat.

I have never gone that far, and i don't intend to ever. As ICB knows, i get very horny when drunk though, so i usually end up with one of my close friends at the end of a party, which is ghey.

Joe, Something similar happend to me monday night, i still have been unable to talk to the girl. We just kinda pass each other and give an acknowledgement, and that is it.

I dont reccomend it.

I am the biggest fool drunk its not even funny I make a complete fool out of myself in front of women and everything. I know this is sad but I kinda have an alter ego when I get drunk aswell.

Yes, just never do it again. I hate it, i now go for girls i don't know, and will never see again.

Sounds typical of the irish lads i have met here in germany. The other night they ended up streaking from one bar to another. And the one kid whos last name is hayes becomes "craze" when he gets completely pissed

I become something worse the naked cowboy....... :upset:

I rarely get naked but always put on the hat.

Irish lads can be a bit notorius for drinking anyway.

Well, my girlfriend is gone now. I'm...not very happy, to say the least.

yes, it is a close call as to who gets worse though, the irish or the germans. Ive met enough of both to the point where i should be able to pick one or the other, but alas i cannot.

Poor Ray.

*hugs*

I have onle drank with germans once or twice there names in english were phillip and thomas pretty cool guys.

Thanks for that, Joe....I dunno, it's pretty rough. It took a while just to leave the airport...I didn't even leave until her flight started boarding. It's pretty weird not being near her now. I feel alone, I feel kinda empty.

/emo

actually phillip and thomas are german names, only difference is what part of the name they accent. instead of the accent being on the "phil" its more on the "ip" and instead of the accent being on the "thom" its more on the "as"

Yeah I know they were alright that was the moral of the story.

stories dont need morals anymore. instead each story should involve someone getting brutally maimed, even if its a total lie.

man !T.O.O.H.! are awesome, go and liven up the thread a bit

thanks, ive actually known about them for a while, but for some reason i never really promoted them. but as i said earlier i finished my final term paper today, so its kind of like my gift to the boards with my newly found free time. This weekend should be a bit of a haze for me though, lot of end of term celebrations going on, especially since a lot of us are leaving in less than a month

[QUOTE=ThE_B.P.C]I know the feeling. Whens the next time you will see her?[/QUOTE]

Probably not til we go back to college in late August/early September.

Dammit. Other than missing her, your gonna have a serious sex withdrawal man. Unlucky.

Well, at least this shows you feel for her.

Speaking of classic red dwarf, the Rimmerworld episode just came on internet tv, i love when they get to the planet and the king rimmer kisses the girl rimmer, so funny.

Oh, don't I know it...at least we'll have some awesome "It's been too long since I've seen you!" sex when we see each other again :lol:

haha okay this is my last red dwarf post for a while, great quote just happened

Cat: There's one thing you should know. Last time we met I was wearing a cute little black number with peach trim and gold spangles, and although it looks like I'm wearing the same outfit today, it is in fact an entirely different cute little black number, with completely different gold spangles!
Kryten: That was an important speech, sir, and it needed to be made. Might I suggest, however, that the rest of this discourse is continued by those with brains larger than a grape?

Stab them. Was it you who replied to my myspace bulletin?

[QUOTE=Rothmans]Why whats happend?[/QUOTE]

OK, here's the deal:

My mom always has a routine for me, I get up at 11:00 AM, I do the dishes, I do some yardwork, I clean the house, then I shower, and I'm out of the house at 3. Then whenever I come home, she yells at me about how the house is dirty, and how I didn't do the dishes, even though the fact is, my brother is a wasteful ****er who uses like 10 plates and 20 glasses a day, and never cleans up after himself after he eats. So I come home to a messy house, and have to clean up after everybody else (my whole family is that way, but my brother is the worst) and instead of thank you, or good job, my sister usually chimes in "Why are you so irritated, it would have been better if you did it earlier instead of at 11 at night."

So that's the usual schedule, I hang out with my friends during the afternoon, and evening, I do chorse before that, and when I get home, I do chores and go online. But today was ridiculous.

My yardwork today, my brother trims the hedges, I pick up all the trimmings (our yard is huge, so it's like 2 hours of work). I'm alright with that, I wake up today, my brother has a note at the foot of the stairs (his room is situated on a landing area at the top of a staircase, secluded from the rest of the house, it's kinda like a huge loft) "I need sleep, don't wake me," apparently his drinking binge last night was until 5 AM, woo! hurray for selfish assholes. So I did everything else I needed to do before I could go out, at 3, I tell my mom, "I'm going to James' house," her reaction was, "No you're not, you didn't do any yardwork today," so I told her, "Michael isn't even up yet," so she was pissed at him and told me to get him up, so I told him to get up, he's like, "I said don't wake me up, what the heck," I respond, "Shut the Hell up dude, it's 3PM," he's like, "Whoa, watch it man, don't swear at me," as if I have no right to be mad at him, so I tell him, "**** off dude, I'm stuck here because you didn't do what you have to, and besides, you swear at me all the time, and you punched me for not getting you a spoon last night, so you're not a goody two shoes, you **** arrogant prick," and he's like "What the Hell, why are you so mad at me?" I was like, "EVERY NIGHT YOU COME HOME DRUNK, AND MAKE A HUGE MESS, I GET YELLED AT FOR IT, YOU RUIN EVERY DAY I HAVE WITH YOUR BULL****, AND I'M SICK OF IT," so I went out and did some yardwork by myself, I came in, and my mom was like, "Get back out there, Michael's gonna trim now," and I was like, "Well what the Hell, I don't get to do anything at all today? My friends are waiting for me," and she says, "You're not going out until your yardwork is done, so I flipped out, and now I'm grounded because of something I had no control over.
