They need to get a grip.

If you're getting plastered all the time you're doing it wrong.

Not bad. I'm probably going to quit, but only because I can make more at my internship working at home.

Nothing to crazy. Tossed 4 peeps this weekend.

Pretty much. I was depressed for 5 years, near clinically so for the last 3. I never touched alcohol or drugs. Why? Because I knew it wouldn't do shit.

..it's the recreational "get high" rut. once you fall in you'll rationalize staying there.

I like to get buzzed and drinking at parties leads to easier socialization for some.

LOL. I've noticed your replies in the drinking threads lately. :laugh:

I do it cause of escape I guess, but I have to agree with TallBill, it's stupid regardless.

It's the initial euphoric state. People, I think, drink a little more to increase the effect but being dumb as we are at times, have the habit of not learning from our mistakes. I'm thirsty..brb

Welcome to the boomtown, pick a habit, we got plenty to go around.
Also, never try to teach a pig to sing, it will be a waste of time, and will only annoy the pig.
So, go back to the bar, have a good time, bask in the knowledge that you are now more attractive, and interesting, and try not to annoy the pig, for you are woefully ill-equipped to handle, or comprehend the why's, reasons, or "causes".

The only time I hang out at a bar is when I watch Casablanca.
