It's a bit wasteful though, as I never really feel like having the full beer in the morning.

Works like a dream doesn't it ? My only problem is when I start drinking in the morning I just don't stop, and then its a wasted day ! lol

I'm not much of a beer/lager man myself. Usually stick with spirits. Though I don't mind a Guinness from time to time. Or that pear cider stuff. As for being drunk, it's alright, I prefer being just a bit tipsy than being completely wrecked. Also I've never had a hangover, I did think it was because I usually sobered up a bit before going to bed/sleep. But even when I've gone straight to sleep when pissed I still feel fine the following day.

Don't really drink spirits, give me a nice cider or ale any day of the week.

I the only thing I can actually drink is Cider, everything else tastes like utter gooseberry fool as far as i'm concerned.

I'm growing to like the taste of fine wine and may one day become a connoisseur if I can get a better job than stock room guy at Woolworth's.

Are you the one who's only about 15?

I think I was 16 when I first got wasted, which is probably quite old for it. 'Twas fun though, good times.

I like drinking, but think everyone apart from about three of us at uni should be banned from drinking. At least all I do is fall over and piss on bowling greens, not start crying.

Yarp, not 16 till February. Considering all my friends drink (but with no intention to get drunk) I'm surprised.

I'm only 23, but I've already somewhat gone off being drunk. For a start, hangovers seem to get worse as you get older. In the past I could get absolutely wasted, have a bit of a hangover the following morning and then quickly recover. Now they seem to last for almost a day, regardless of how drunk I get. Even then, these days I much prefer keeping my wits about me, rather than make a fool out of myself. I drink socially, then switch to coke when I start to feel the effects.

I love a good ale though. Spitfire, Bombardier, Old Speckled Hen, Abbot Ale et al are lovely. I like stouts even better though, with Guiness being my favourite drink in the world. I'm partial to a bit of whiskey or brandy too, but obviously not too much.

I take pride in the fact that I'm one of the only people I know who knows when to call it a day.
Waking your flatmates up at 3 am by running up and down the hall screaming at the top of your lungs seems to be a regular passtime if my flatmates are anything to go by. :evil:

Not been drinking for about a month now.

Though, I've had perhaps....4 pints in that time.
So technically I have been drinking.

But a pint a week down from 35 or 40 a week is pretty good!

Its very good. You should be proud of yourself. Now send me that PM you teetotalling deviant!

PostRe: Getting drunk by **Alkaline** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 9:52 pm

Jack Daniels, either straight or with coke is the drink for me.

Strange how drinking changes as you get older.

When I first started drinking I was sick every time, but no hangovers

. Then there was the no sick and no hangover stage 8-)

. Then there was the hangover everytime stage

. Now the have to drink gooseberry fool loads to get drunk, then occasionally will get a killer hangover stage
