WoW and fapping?

But sometimes, I just want to drink until there's a kidney in my fridge, a doorknob missing and a misdemeanor under my belt, with no recollection of the night before. Is that so bad?

YOU'RE the bitch that ended up with my kidney? Give it back! :|

The older I get the less I want to drink. Definitely had my days of stupid weekend binge drinking. I'd rather enjoy my weekends without hangovers these days.

well, I know us members are told to keep "hush" about this for the first weekend, but i'll go ahead and post it here. The word needs to get out for all us West-coasters.

The glorious5 cent sale is on!

For $10,000, you can have it.

I would have been hungover today, but I kept myself under control last night. 2.75 for a Smithwicks is the bar's way of saying, "We love you so much we want you to wake up wishing you were dead."

Scew $10k. Install the extra kidney and never worry about drinking too much again!

Wait, nevermind, you need to steal a liver.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love a glass of wine with my dinner.

Then I also like a glass of wine with my wine.

And then another glass with my napkin.

And one for my fork.

Then one for my knife.

And then one for the pole I have run myself into later on that night.

Yeah, she can keep the damn thing. She's not getting her doorknob back, though.

do you hate fun?

I go straight from 2ish glasses of wine to room spinning/feeling sick. Drunk is not fun.

I don't drink wine, but I agree that drunk/spinning is not fun. If I can hit the perfect spot where I'm just getting loose and a little tipsy, I enjoy it. Takes about 4-5 beers over the course of 1-2 hours for me. Problem is, if I have any more than that, I get miserable and don't enjoy myself at all. It's hard to pace myself just right - if I'm still drinking when I start to feel tipsy, I've usually overdone it and will be unhappy within half an hour.

I don't quite understand drinking to get drunk, though I suppose some people have higher tolerances than I do. Some of my friends can put away twice as much as I can while still staying on their feet and active, while I'll be throwing up or sleeping.

Free root beer float today from 2-8pm at A&W locations.

This.

I won't be drinking this weekend, but I do enjoy a glass of wine every now and then. I certainly don't enjoy getting drunk, and seeing the idiotic things that others do while inebriated is all the support I need to maintain that thinking.

Edit: IMO :thumbsup: to drinking and :thumbsdown: to getting drunk.

3) -$250 for wall repairs
4) a pretty good story to tell every now and then

after 5 bottles of jack between 15 peoople we went and ran thru custom home walls made of styrofoam before they were finished being built. the news story the next day was high-larious, but i did feel bad that we ended up causing over 300k damage to those houses. after trying to break out body shaped holes we gave up and cut body shaped holes into the walls... we wanted to be like cartoon characters when they run thru walls and leave an outline of their bodies. i remember up until the bonfire in the 2 story house, then its all pretty blurry... i still drink jack on occasion, im just not much of a drinker overall. id rather sit and drink a malibu rum drink with friends than drink many beers or shots while doing stupid drunk guy shit.

oh, and 250 for repairs is what reminded me about this whole ramble... that seems light for throwing people thru it lol.
