What is so fun about getting drunk?

To the point of either passing out or throwing up?

It seems like such self-destructive behavior, yet people live for this kind of stuff.


Not that I haven't experienced it when I was in High School.
But that was when my mind was scrambled with all the hormone crap going on, and peer pressure, and worrying about what lie ahead of me after graduation.

What drives us humans to take things into our bodies that our bodies try to expel?
 
beats the hell out of me. i ask my friends and they just say that it's fun. i'll take their words for it 😛
 
I dont drink to that point, but i think most people never intend on doing that, I think alot cant stop themselves.
 
Are you a bad mormon? hehe...seriously though, I cant believe you would even compare the pressures of High School to real life pressures, I deal with more pressure every day than all of my high school years combined. I agree with you on the drinking thing though, anyone who drinks to the point of losing self control is just irresponsible.
 
man, ill have like a drink to get the blood flowing and whatnot, but man, to get wasted and be like, "man im wasted".....im all for partying but there is a ridiculous extreme.
 
Yeah, it seems that the consequences after heavily outweight the benefits of getting drunk. I don't see any point to it, and the fact that IMHO beer tastes like crap.
 
Consuming alcohol can be a good way for someone shy to losen their inhibitions, but taken to an extreme is just plain foolish.

no, I wasn't

you're right

I meant that in High School my mind was scrambled. Now it's fried.😉

sheeesh, right now I'm in the middle of a divorce, selling 2 houses, buying a new home, raising a daughter as a single dad. Yet, I think I am handling it better than I could handle a zit on the forehead in High School.

And I haven't had a beer in over 3 years.

What I'd give for a toke of bud, though.

 


<< Consuming alcohol can be a good way for someone shy to losen their inhibitions >>



Those people who drink to lose their inhibitions should perhaps work on their self-image and self-confidence.
 
right now I'm in the middle of a divorce

Been there, done that. It sucks but it does get better. Good luck and I hope it all works out for you!
 
Usually, at least what has happened to me the few times it has happened, you get to a point where you don't quite realize what that next drink's going to do to you. My wife is an interesting specimen, to say the least. I've never seen someone with such distinct stages of drunkeness.

1) A few drinks (1-4 depending on size and strength) she's happy-go-lucky and enjoying herself.

2) 1-3 more and she gets very sleepy.

3) 1-3 more and she is very uneasy on her feet and will more than likely puke and/or pass-out before the night is over...especially if she has more.

She's only made stage three 2-3 times in the 8 years I've known her.

I, on the other hand, get to the stage where I think, &quot;I'm fine, I'll have another.&quot; The senses get dulled to the point that you're not paying attention to your actions. I've only been here 4-5 times in the 8 years I've been legal. Before that I NEVER touched alcohol.

Yes, as you said, it is no fun. What I want to know is how some people out there drink and drink and never seem to get to that pass-out/puke stage.

i think people do it to escape reality...as cheesy as that sounds. i know a couple that all they do all day is smoke pot. its annoying. makes me appreciate sobriety. on the thought of getting drunk to the sick point....well, all i can say is sometimes when youre drunk already, those last few shots wasnt such a bad idea...before you started to puke. if you were in your right mind you probably wouldnt have taken those last few shots but you werent so it seemed like a good idea. i can handle my drugs though...i can only have a few beers or a few hits off a bowl..but i know when to stop...

there are a lot of people that intend to get drunk, though

and how many times do you hear people talking about who can drink the other under the table?
what does that prove?

a sad statement on what social norms have come to, IMO


and state legislators won't allow Ultimate Fighting.......boy
 
SirFshAlot: the first divorce sucks, they get easier after that, working on my third now and I am not 30 yet 🙂 I know what you mean about everything being the end of the world when we were teenagers, it seems rather insignificant now doesnt it?
 
i think people do it to escape reality

I can understand that.
It's the puking part that brings the reality of it back.
That's no escape.

A light buzz is enjoyable.
Passing out isn't.
 
Man geting fu6ked up is cool. I likes to drink and go redes horsces. they go fast and smell bad. I coud drink 60 beers but i passes out and wake up about a week later. I read that drinking is real goodly for the hart. I thinks my heart is the size of a turkey and it is big and powerful. After I plays footbaal weth the treees I likes to have 2 cases of beers insteed of tha Gatoraide stuff , thats for girls.
 
There is a reason that it is called inTOXICation. Alcohol is a toxin. It is poisonous to the body, that is why you get all the adverse effects (kills brain cells, liver damage, blood vessel damage, vomiting, blood poisoning, etc.) However, like other drugs, part of the effects are pleasurable (the lightheadedness, the dulling of the senses, the lossening of inhibitions, et al.), hence the need to drink. That and the addictive qualities...
 
I've only been drunk to the point of puking once in my life. Getting drunk is for pathetic losers. That said, I've been getting hammered on a pretty regular basis since my wife and I split.
