Can Anyone Tell Me Why Ppl Do It..? 2008-10-25 15:55:13 Reply

Okay..

Can anyone please explain to me why people insist on getting wasted every friday/saturday night? ( in my 'town' people call this 'having a life' i don't do is so apparently i don't have a life?)

i don't really see any logic in paying money so you are completely wasted.. so you can't walk..so you can't talk properly.. so you don't really have much control of your body? people say that doing this is 'fun' when most of my friends who do it are like 'OH MAN I WAS SO WASTED I DIDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHIN' I DID' why do it if you don't even remember what you did..

i mean if you wanted to do that then why not just put a dick in your mouth (to stop the speech), break your legs and smack yourself in the head with a brick.

incase your wondering i don't drink alcohol... not against drinking a little bit but getting totally wasted is just fucking retarded.

It's because of boredom. Boredom has caused many things: wars, Star Trek, Indie music, the Holocaust, Modern Art, the list goes on

It's the new way of socializing, sadly. Someday we'll resort to something even more horrible to pass the time.

Smoking is worse than the Holocaust? I dunno, but I guess The Simpsons agrees with you on that one, so maybe I'm wrong.

BTW, I'm drinking as I type this. I'm drinking because I wanted the sweet, sweet taste of amaretto. Sadly, i think I'm a bit tipsy now.

I find it highly moronic as well.

I have no objection to drinking alcohol, but in moderation. Enjoyably. I have never seen the allure of going and getting completely shitfaced.

You sound like me when I was eight. I was "drinking is terrible I'm never doing it and I'd rather die than drink..."

Kids do that nearly every day in my college dorm, drink and do weed. I mean come on, this is a pretty important fucking time of your life, parents probably sold their limbs to get you here, and you're getting wasted on a tuesday night? Doesn't make much sense to me.

I have a better time in social situations when I don't drink. It's weird.

It's only preference though. I don't say that to make people think I'm better than them.

It's good for relieving stress after a long week of work. Drinking makes you feel relaxed, happy, etc. It lowers your inhibitions and makes you worry less about things. The thing about making it hard to walk in a straight line or think straight are just side-effects of the reason why people drink.

Although I agree with you about how annoying it is when people won't shut up about how great drinking is, and when they say that people who don't drink don't have lives.

Drinking is only fun when you get to the point just before you lose coherent thinking, kinda in-between you doing stupid stuff for laughs and still knowing which bus to get home.

He's not complaining about himself getting drunk, he's complaining about others getting drunk.

And in response to your other post, I'm not talking about my body. I'm talking about all the friends that I have that get wasted and then whine the next day about how horrible their hangover is or how much they threw up the night prior to said whining.

The above paragraph is why I don't get drunk.

im guessing he doesnt go out like the majority of people on here, so I doubt he has any interaction with drunk people anyway

just tell them to quit whining and man up or stop drinking :)

Also, some times when your drunk, you don't stop and think "maybe I've had enough."

so, when you're just trying to get a bit drunk you go over bored, and wake up the next day with out pants, having no idea what happend, or why you are covered in glowpaint.

Good times...

It's 2008. It's the thing to do. I don't party all that much, I don't so much like drinking, but I drank last night, the night before, and I'm about to go sit down in front of COD4 and drink a Nati

oh and shreddy, i do have 'interaction' with drunk people, and to be honest i don't think its bad until girls that are really nice and cute in school become sluts after drinking too much (getting their boobs out etc etc :/)

and i'm not against people doing it, fuck it they can do it, i just think its retarded.
