Well alot of Aussies drink to get drunk, I don't (I fuckin hate hangovers with a strong passion.) But my brothers done some pretty dangerous binges, 2 days of consisten drinking (including things like Tequila) only having a 4 hour break. He was absolutely fucked after that.

the point is what then?

I like this one very much:

Quote:

Germany, like Britain, has a culture of beer drinking that dates back for centuries and so we know how to cope with alcohol

Some do, some don't. The 17%.

What's the point of drinking alcohol? People drink it for the good feeling it brings. Some realise that if you drink more the feeling won't get stronger, but some don't, and go on drinking in an attempt to make the good feeling stay.

I knew a few guys who were drinking for week. They were fucked up afterwards, so to save themselves the trouble they just didn't stop drinking...

I found the best way to have a good time drinking and not get the depressive state and a hangover the next day is drink two pints then have a pint of coke/lemonade, then two pints again ect.
You stay pretty happy all night and don't turn into the beer monster at the end White laugh

Drinking

I'm from Czech/Scottish decent and alcoholism runs on both sides of my family. My mom is always scared me and my sister will turn into drunks. I like to drink, but not everyday. Yesterday I drank because a friend was in town. Not much though. 6 Coronas, 2 Heineken, couple shots of Crown. I don't even like Heineken, but after the Coronas I didn't really care. Never had a hangover or thrown up no matter how much I drink.

I enjoy drinking, but I'm somewhat of a lightweight. I've passed out once, and that was after 30 cl of vodka...not a pleasant experience.

Led Zeppelin, the legends of drinking

Anyone familiar with Led Zeppelins life in the 70's would know they were non-stop drinkers. Between the four members and the band manager and tour manager, they downed 280 drinks between them in 4 hours. I think 160 Scotches and some other alcholic drink. Then they left, and drank more. The drummer eventually choked on his own vomit in 1980.

You have my sympathy White laugh

When you get a bit older you'll start to appreciate Drinking as an art form rather than some kind of competition.

Don't see this as a criticism of your age, I was young once too and did marathon drinking - we were king when it came to Pint Blastaways - Castaway and White Lightning Shocked

But the real skill is being able to get wobbly-merry and still having money in your pocket when you get home.

Experimenting with combinations to get the maximum effect for the minimum outlay without resorting to gut-rot cocktails and holes in your memory.

Indeed

Hangovers and waking up next to some fat bird are gods way of telling you you spend too much money in the feckin pub White laugh

It's a fact

God invented Fat Chicks for this very purpose - Kind of a devine anti drink-drive campaign that predates cars.

This is evident in the programming of mans first natural reaction on that fateful morning..

"OH God, What have I done?" White laugh
