I aim to get drunk usually if I am drinking. However, I tend to know my limits...probably stop before most people would class me as 'drunk'..more extremely tipsy. have only been legless once and it was when I was working in greece...stupidly I forgot that the amount of alcohol they give in each drink is insane and drank as much as I would have done at home. I remember not very much except I accepted a ride back on a quad at 4am off a random guy :S

Occasionally will have a blue wkd or a few just because i like the taste of it though

[Ashley.]

I get tipsy but like Vicky said, I know when to stop.

[Ramsay]

Yeah i'm not going to kid myself, i go flat out.

[Vicky.]

I will be honest though and say the only reason I stop is because I am ****ing terrified of being sick. If I didn't have that phobia I expect I would get in some right messes :laugh:

[Maru]

I've gotten drunk before but the fallout was so terrible (medical wise: burning flaring seering pain) that I never did it again... it was on St. Patty's Day and I spent all the day at a tavern with husband and friends.

I rarely drink though. I take general medications and my liver takes a hit on blood tests that I take Milk Thistle to offset and I'm a light health nut. I'm more of a social drinker if I do... I drink with friends and family who I trust. Never around people I barely know. Occasionally if I want to sit outside with a sandwich and paint with oils, I may have a strawberry daquiri or something, but that is the extent of it...

I'm short and petite so it's very easy for me to get drunk.

St. Paddy's Day :nono:

[Cal.]

Only ever drink to get drunk. In the summer I do it regularly. Any other time of the year I rarely drink. I know my limits and know when to stop too as I hate being sick.

[Cal.]

(And I far prefer being tipsy than drunk - being drunk is pretty trash)

[armand.kay]

I don't touch alcohol unless I'm planning on getting drunk tbh

[Crimson Dynamo]

Iv been to all the stops and back via the depot

Me and the drink go way back

[joeysteele]

I never get drunk, I only drink alcohol to be sociable.

Only at New Year do I have more than usual but never allow myself to get drunk.

It is often really funny watching those who do however.

[LukeB]

I hardly drink only on holidays but I prefer to get tipsy rather than being drunk.

[Natalie.]

Haven't been drunk, just a bit tipsy a few times.
I just haven't felt the need to or wanted to yet

[Crimson Dynamo]

I know for a factoid that it is not experienced the same byn one and all. Some people it makes them dizzy and dicombobulated and so they tend to avoid it where as others it gives them a tremendous feeling of exhilaration and bonhomie so they chase it. Some cannot stop when they start and others can have 2 and stop every time.

[Jessica.]

I have never been drunk myself, I've only been barely tipsy. I drink probably three times a month in summer and usually it's just one or two glasses each time. I made this thread because the other day I had a lemon beer with a meal and I really enjoyed it as a refreshing drink to compliment the food rather than just a novelty taste of alcohol if that makes sense. It made me think more about other people's drinking habits.

[smudgie]

In my youth I drank far too much, 6 nights and one afternoon session at least..
Dancing on tables drunk, fighting drunk, just stupid drunk really
My husband has never seen me drunk, hence a long happy marriage, I am not allowed to drink due to health issues now, not even a drop, and I don't care to be honest:shrug:

[Jake.]

I like being heavily tipsy but it's often a case of drinking too much, being a mess and forgetting what had happened by the next day

[Smithy]

Don't understand why people drink just to get drunk :conf2:

[Crimson Dynamo]

not really, everyone knows when they're drunk and I'm asking the people who drink just to get to that level, why :shrug:

[Vicky.]

Don't understand why people drink just to get drunk :conf2:

If you are not drinking to get drunk/tipsy...why drink? Not many alcoholic drinks are actually nice. With the exception of malibu and wkd. Lager and such especially, ****ing gross and I can only drink them when I am already well on my way to tipsyness :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

not really, everyone knows when they're drunk and I'm asking the people who drink just to get to that level, why :shrug:

yes but being drunk is very different for each person. For a young girl it could just be half a bottle of wine, giggly and having fun, tripping over. or it could mean, getting so bad you cant speak and have a blackout and not remember getting home or eating and getting into bed

There are huge degrees within that one term

incorrect

wine, whisky, brandy, sherry etc are all lovely drinks with huge ranges of taste and styles

you need to develop your palate

[Vicky.]

Oh I do like wine too.

Whiskey though, nope. Never had brandy and tried my grandmas sherry once as a kid and it (at the time) tasted like flavoured nailvarnish :umm2:

What other reason is there to drink like I don't really love the taste of alcohol so I don't get the point of just having a glass of something.

[Shaun]

Sometimes just have the odd beer/cider/pimms in the summer because it's nice/refreshing.

But I will drink at parties to get somewhere between tipsy and drunk because I find I'm more open and less caring about being shy/polite. I've only ever blacked out twice and one of those occasions was because my drink was spiked, the other was when I was fifteen.

Can't really find your limit without getting to that state once or twice in your life though so life lessons and all that...

[Crimson Dynamo]

what tends to happen to those who drink to excess is that the best part of drinking is after two or 3 when you feel great, then you chase that feeling down and it does not come back and you start to shut down and by that stage you tend to swap that chase for a chase to oblivion


and then repeat



and then repeat

[Cal.]

What other reason is there to drink like I don't really love the taste of alcohol so I don't get the point of just having a glass of something.

Plus it's highly calorific.

[Niamh.]

I've been drunk plenty of times especially when I was younger. Nowadays I like the tipsy feeling, I mainly drink wine with a meal or in front of the TV on a weekend, get a little tipsy and go to bed. If I was out or at a party I would drink bottles of beer because I could drink that for longer without getting really drunk

[Niamh.]

Well if I ever drunk post that'll definitely be the day to do it imo :hehe:

I mean it's St Paddys Day not Pattys :laugh:

[armand.kay]

I count being tipsey as being drunk tbh like if I'm in no state to drive thats what I determine as being drunk.

[Niamh.]

I count being tipsey as being drunk tbh like if I'm in no state to drive thats what I determine as being drunk.

Well you shouldn't be driving after any amount of drink really :nono:

I'd consider drunk to be word slurring and falling around the place :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

1 bottle of wine is having a wee drink

2 bottles would be getting drunk and being irresponsible


drinking anything and driving is a big, big mistake

[Cal.]

Tipsy is like when you feel good and confident etc
Drunk is like when you're a mess and can hardly function etc

That's the way I see it.

[Vicky.]

A full bottle of wine would have me totally mortal D:

Assuming we are talking real wine and not 7.5% lambrini or something :laugh:

[armand.kay]

Well you shouldn't be driving after any amount of drink really :nono:

I don't drive yet and wouldn't really drive after having even one drink because alcohol effects me pretty quick (like I'm not a light weight because it takes a lot of drinks to get me **** faced but one drink and i feel the effects).

for me drunk is when I start chatting **** and being even more talkative than normal. Also this sounds really weird but I can kind of feel it in my hands when I drink, like pins and needles but really subtle.

[Liam-]

A bottle of wine is like milk on cereal to me, totally ineffective.

I've never been completely drunk before, it takes a lot for me to get tipsy so it would probably cost a fortune to get totally off my face :worry:

I do like being tipsy though, it basically takes away the majority of my anxiety around people so I let loose more.

[Vicky.]

The pins and needles thing happens to me too...my hands, sometimes my arms and sometimes my feet :laugh:

[Vicky.]

Though pins and needles isnt the right way to describe it for me as its so light...its more like...a weird vibratey feeling with no actual vibrating.

yes if i open a bottle of say 13 percent SB at say 7 on a sat and have the last glass at say 9.30 and during have a big pizza thats grand. Im not drunk but iv had a wee drink. when i wake up at 7 i can tell iv had a drink but thats ok and i can get on with the day


when i was in London in media on a friday we would have a bottle and a half at lunch, hide a bottle in the cistern at work and drink it in the afternoon and get on it at 5 till the wee small hours

wake up at 12 on a sat battered

:omgno:

[Liam-]

Saying that, the only drink that my body can't deal with is Jaegerbombs, they **** me up.

[Drew.]

I used to go to party's nearly every day growing up during the summer or weekends and i got myself into too many situations i ended up regretting so i try not to over do it anymore.

I only ever drink to get properly drunk these days when i'm with friends who are also drinking or if we're playing drinking games. But yeah, i love it, i always try and encourage friends to play drinking games and stuff

[armand.kay]

oh that's strange, I wonder why that is?

idk I get it a bit in my lips sometimes too. I thought it was to do with the fact that you're a bit numb to pain when you're drunk :shrug:

That was one thing I noticed about London, people drank a lot on their lunch breaks. People over here don't drink at all on their lunch breaks (not that I have seen much of anyway) which is odd since we're the ones with the drinking reputation :laugh:

I looked it up and its actually pretty common.

Wine gives me the hangover from hell, even a couple of glasses

Malibu on the other hand, I can down that straight and just get nicely tipsy and no effects the next day

Malibu is too expensive to drink out though..3 quid odd for a tiny sip of it drowned in coke :bored:

Most alcohol tastes vile so when I'm drinking it's to be drunk

[Vicky.]

When I was much younger (and a bit stupider) we all used to buy this cider called whitestar. It was ****ing vile, and we would down the whole bottle by holding our noses so we couldn't taste it :D

[Crimson Dynamo]

Most alcohol tastes vile so when I'm drinking it's to be drunk

all drink is ethanol

what you cloak it in is the drinks market but its one chemical compound

whisky, beer, sherry, bluwkd, lambrini

its all ethanol diluted and flavoured

[armand.kay]

When I was much younger (and a bit stupider) we all used to buy this cider called whitestar. It was ****ing vile, and we would down the whole bottle by holding our noses so we couldn't taste it :D

My parents have an excessive amount of alcohol in their little booze room so growing up I would just grab a bottle from their and hope they don't notice so I wasnt even sure at the time what I was bringing to all those yr 9 parties and midnight park outings :laugh:

Cider is gross mind I had it for the first time when I met up with Stacey and Dan last year and I ended up with my face in dan's toilet for a bit now just the smell makes me wanna heave.

[Vicky.]

I don't mind woodpecker as long as there is blackcurrant in it. Strongbow I can handle in small amounts too. But the cheap cider (or gut rot..as we used to call it) was just gross

I once nicked a bottle of vodka from my mums stash...transferred it to another bottle and filled the vodka bottle up with water..expecting her not to notice :umm2:

[armand.kay]

Same, being drunk can be a lot of fun! Doesn't mean I need to be drunk to have fun, I think that's where there's issues for some people. But it's just like anything else that's fun, you might not need to do it, but why not!

Yes, I get drunk on purpose and it feels great :)

I've only ever been sick twice due to alcohol too :hee:

[Firewire]

Yeah I drink to get drunk but it's not often

Having one or two is pointless, I'd rather take the car

[andybigbro]

If I'm on a night out I like to get tipsy.

I used to get smashed all the time when I was younger but now I don't see the point and regret the hangover.

[Marsh.]

Only drinking to get drunk is bizarre to me.

Like, does nobody just enjoy drinking alcohol? A couple of pints? A glass of wine? etc just to wind down?

Does it not bother you that alcohol is so calorific and bad for your liver etc..?

[Samm]

As long as you don't drink everyday it's alright, I only drink when i'm out with friends on a friday/weekend.

[Marsh.]

Does it not bother you that alcohol is so calorific and bad for your liver etc..?

Me?

Not really because I'm slim and don't need to watch my calorie intake. :hee:

As for my liver, I'm not an alcoholic so no I'm not worried.

Just as eating fatty foods doesn't make me worry about my arteries or heart because I'm not an overweight twat having takeaways for breakfast, lunch and dinner. :smug:

[Samm]

The calorific side doesn't bother me either, because if i'm not too hammered I always go to the gym on sundays so I burn it off

[caprimint]

I don't see the point in drinking like one glass or so. It's either get drunk af or don't bother. I do enjoy the feeling of being tipsy though, depends on the situation.

I haven't been drinking long enough to know my limits yet, I will have a glass of rose if I'm out for food but other than that I drink to get drunk. I'm fine on malibu or disarrono but if I have quite expensive vodka I get smashed to the point I cry or have to get picked up by my mum because I can't stand up or I've vommed everywhere.

My worst experience was after having Wray and Nephews, it's a 60+ % rum and I had 3 shots of it and I thought I was dying, I had to be picked up by my mum at about 11 from town and I sat in the toilet for hours being sick on myself, I couldn't hold my head up I was so drunk my mum said I was vomiting while sleeping :laugh:

[Livia]

I think I've got quite a European attitude to drink. I do drink, I've never been really drunk, I enjoy a few drinks with friends and like the feeling of being relaxed... I don't understand the concept of drinking until you can't stand up. I know some people drink loads before they go out... I don't see the point of drinking so much you don't know what you've done or how you're getting home.

[Black Dagger]

I don't drink for ages and then nearly kill myself in the process when I do decide to drink so that's fun.

Worst sober night ever...I was at a party and ended up sat between my two older sisters both were steaming n talking the biggest lot of **** ever, one was crying because she had a ladder in her tights and the other one burned the sleeve of my new jacket....I realised then being around drunk people when sober yourself was horrific

[user104658]

From 16 - 21 I drank to get utterly obliterated, tbh. That's pretty much the University culture, though.

These days I don't drink often at all, probably 5 - 6 occasions a year, and on those occasions I'd say I drink to get "merrily drunk" but not utterly smashed. Drunk enough to find stupid things hilarious but not so drunk that I suffer badly for it the next day, basically. Other than on those social situations I don't drink even a drop, though, and I sort of make a rule of not drinking at home :shrug:. Partly because I am all too aware that this country (this world?) has a very unhealthy alcohol dependence even at the small end of the scale ("needing a drink to relax") and partly, admittedly, because I have my own personal hangups due to my mother's liver melting.

...so anyway :joker: TL;DR I drink very occasionally to get drunk-ish, never drink just for the sake of it, but have "done my time" in the past as most people do when they're young.

[user104658]

Oh I will add to that though:

I firmly believe that you do NOT entirely know someone, until you have seen them drunk. Alcohol does not "change people", as much as some would love to believe it does, it represses inhibitions and slows the mind. If someone says something drunk, they would think it sober. If someone starts using their fists to smack around loved ones with a drink in them... then they have some serious darkness and violence in them all of the time. They are simply masking or hiding it, consciously or otherwise. Worth considering.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I intend to get a good drink in me tonight. A bottle of vino collapso and perhaps a whisky or two. Socially with the TL with food. I wont be drunk but i will be a little bevvied. Sometimes for a gentleman a couple of drinks can be beneficial where as too many can have the opposite affect. YOu have to get the balance right. :nono:

Well it started with just having a little drink on nights out and that really, was bored of being the sober one and listening to everyone else's drunken ramblings lol

I sometimes go on sober nights out and at pre drinks I get "what are you drinking" "omg why not" from everyone and they all ask me more than like 10 that night because they end up forgetting they already asked lol. Also when you're the sober one you kind of have to deal with all the drama that comes a group of drunk 10yr olds lol :laugh:

Worst sober night ever...I was at a party and ended up sat between my two older sisters both were steaming n talking the biggest lot of **** ever, one was crying because she had a ladder in her tights and the other one burned the sleeve of my new jacket....I realised then being around drunk people when sober yourself was horrific

Wait....what?

Every lady experiences a bit of laddering in her life, it's so annoying, especially if it's your favourite tights. :sad:

I haven't had alcohol in years and the one time I've been significantly drunk was when a friend secretly added to my drink because it's known that I'm the token lightweight among my friends. I'd usually limit myself because I never wanted to get to that ridiculous point where you're getting sick.

Doesn't seem like something a friend would do

I'd be livid myself. What if you are medicated with something you can't mix together with alcohol??


I have good skin and complexion compared to others my age which I credit to not being a smoker (really bad for skin) and also not really being a drinker. My husband used to drink a lot of dark and nutty/bitter beers. Though he really doesn't drink anymore which surprises me. Him and his dad were taste testers. The tavern we went to had a big selection on tap, they used to give our plaque for trying every beer and trying each kind which took a long time and you got cheap draft from that point if you made it into the club. When we moved back to my hometown, he started buying Texas beer to try and I notice now he drinks lighter beers... what happened to my burly manly beer man?... allegedly ruined by his Corona loving boyfriends pssh :fist:

I can't stomach beer at all, though when I have had a lot of alcohol already I find Guinness tolerable. It's also one of the most fattening beers I heard (which might be why I find it tastes nice :laugh:)

I'm a big fan of vodka Cosmopolitans and margaritas with some tequila. It has to be good vodka though...

This one girl I knew got drunk most days of the week in HS and barely slept because she was out all night at clubs and was a chain smoker. She did hold down a job but spent 4 years as a senior and she finally thought "maybe I have a problem". You could see really see it in her skin. I think she looked my age now.
