Drinking to get drunk was "cool" back when my age ended in -teen and I was spending my days covering anything I could with baby potion.

funny, i see people of all ages drinking to get drunk. 20's, 30's, 40's and beyond. many seem to think its "cool".
 
People in their 30's and 40's don't give a crap about what is "cool" anyway. They drink to be
A: sociable or more so, often as a result of others drinking as well.
B: they are alcoholics
C: Just to relax, take the edge off or maybe even take their mind off of something.
d: They fancy the taste...lol, no it's to get a buzz because their weak minds need reward.
E: All the above

But not because they think it's cool to do so. Only kids do that which is very telling of the OP.
 
Drinking brag thread? lol, OP has got to be late teens, maybe immature early 20s?

Or could it be that having a drink or two or three to unwind at the end of the week is very enjoyable? Sorry, I have no desire to be a grumpy old man like the rest of you.

Who knew ATOT was a bunch of recovering alcoholics.
 
I drink and I never get hangovers. You're doing it wrong.
Or, just maybe, we don't share the same physiology.
Not an old geezer and not a kid. AKA the perfect stage of life. Sorry to hear you're old.
You sound like a petulant child. The fact you don't realize this is because you are a petulant child.

Shoot for the stars.

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. -- Another arrest and another conviction could be around the corner. All because of too many drinks.

The Washington State Patrol says Charles Sorensen notched his thirteenth driving under the influence arrest Wednesday night.

A criminal complaint said Sorensen drove into a ditch after drinking and then led troopers on a chase. The complaint said he was not using a mandated ignition interlock and was driving with a suspended license.

This has all happened before.

In 2007, Sorensen was in court for his twelfth arrest for DUI and what would end up being his seventh conviction, according to records.

This thirteenth arrest could lead to the most hard time yet because of his conviction history and a newer 2007 law. This is now a felony DUI charge that could lead to time in state prison. Extra punishment could be added for the license and interlock issues.

WSP records also show that Sorensen had convictions for harassment and violating a domestic violence court order.

He will be in court again in the middle of November.

I know it seems impossible now, but you're young. (VERY young) Get out there and apply yourself and you can succeed. (Remember, if at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do suck seed.)

On the bright side he's actually at a low risk of this, since he doesn't do anything other than sit in front of the computer (presumably drunk), when he's not working part-time: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2348546&highlight= With such little ambition it's no wonder he prides himself on his ability to get drunk without a hangover, a crowning achievement that can be heralded in his eulogy.
 
Bashing on people that drink is the new cool ATOT thing?

So, the average ATOT is:
1. Fit like a bodybuilder
2. 6' tall
3. Has a model girlfriend (if a supermodel was unavailable)
4. Makes at least $200,000
5. Never drinks

ok

/off to pour my second glass of merlot for the evening

Honestly it doesn't bother me that much. I have liquor in the house that people drink when they visit. I am not impressed by bluster from people recently introduced to alcohol, however. I guess that stopped being impressive back in the 90's.
