It just seems like a dull, boring waste to me.

I can understand - a couple of drinks of beer in the house and then going out clubbing, but I don't get this whole 'Let's drink wine with a lovely Chinese Take Out ladies! ' thing that women seem to do.

This has got to be the most ridiculous thing to post ever.

The whole post is presuming that people only drink alcohol in order to get sloshed.

1) You can drink and enjoy beer and wine without the need to get absolutely pissed.

2) You can have fun without getting pissed aswell.

That's the main problem I had with a lot of school kids who would spend a good half hour downing whatever they could get their hands on trying to get as bladdered as possible in the shortest amount of time possible and then spend the rest of the night laughing about how they can't walk in a straight line, throw up in the road, lose their knickers, go to bed and then end up losing 3 days of their life in some deep depression/hangover.

Sitting at home or in a nice pub/bar actually enjoying what you're drinking whilst actually indulging in conversation with family and friends is a much more fun way to spend an evening.
