I touch the stuff 2-3 times a year, and I never get really drunk. Guess I had my "fun" in my late teens and early 20'ies. I prefer to sip some single malt or a fine amber ale. Binge drinking is utterly stupid, and the hangovers are never worth it (esp. if you can't even remember what you did).

I am trying to quit myself. I am not an alci as in drinking day in and out, more like 1-2 times a month, but those days will most likely end up in a fucking excess. I tend to do hard drugs while I am drunk, nearly every time eventho I don't touch those when I am sober. In the end I spend 100-200eu an evening for alcohol, drugs and from time to time even hookers.
I hate myself for that - I really need to quit. We'll see how this goes.

im cutting back now aswell cause the hangovers just kill me. even with extreme small amounts. gonna hit it on newyear and then its no drinking for atleast a month (examns) and after that propably training so no drinks. it feels alot better not to be drunk every day.
I had a times last year where i would go out everyday till six oclock in the morning, be drunk as fuck. get up late afternoon, eat something, watch a movie and go out again.
And this year i got drunk every day for 2 months. its not fun beeing drunk anymore when your in a state like that. And you get used to it to much so that would be expensive as well.
When you dont drink for a while and then get drunk, its the best drunk there is

Seems like no one, no matter the age are thinking like this when they are drunk: "Now im exactly where I want to be, in a good mood and feeling fine.. ill stop drinking now." Instead they (including me) drink a lot more and get wasted... and it doesn't really get any better. Just worse the day after.

It could be us Norwegians, but I doubt it. Its pretty expensive with alcohol here, so we are even worse on vacations ^^

If you are getting too much of a hangover try drinking Havana rum. It's excellent if you mix it with cola or make a mohito. I never have zero hangover from it even if I drink the whole 0,75 l bottle.

you know... hangovers are done in cause you dehydrate... LEARN TO FUCKING HYDRATE! jesus! Alcohol isn't water. If you're thirty drink water. FUCK.

On a side note... if you black out... see a doctor.
you brain could be having little short circuits or it floods and shit.
Either way, I know from exp... if you drink TOO much you just pass out cause you can't handle the roller coaster ride.

I heart getting drunk. Not mashed, but having enough liquor in me to feel light headed and what not.

I love mojitos with Havana Club Laughing its the best damn drink in the world...
And I also love wine... and good (strong) beer...

Yeah, I like to drink lol
As long as you dont get drunk to the point of passing out and forgetting things, drinkin' is fun. Just drink a lot of water after, like Waldo always says. And dont forget to eat, too, or your stomach will fuck up.

Only person with more drunk threads than you must be waldo. Razz And I bet you don't chronicle all the times you've exercised 'self-control' but this one was especially good.

I drink almost every day, but the quantity will vary. I try not to get plastered, but when you're out with friends it's harder to control.

A few drinks a night are nice, tho. Liquor/Wine only, as beer makes me feel bloated like a girl on her period.

nope, just about 7 1/2 months to go Wink

honestly though, I'd like to see if I actually have the self control to go even a month without drinking during the weekdays.

A small control like that is easy to attain. No problem at all. Quitting full time is hard. You won't have a problem. Trust me. Very Happy Stuff like that is easy as pie! Very Happy

I always have bad hangover when mixing drinks (beer+vine, or two bad kinds of beer). Last time I drank (like a month ago) two shitty kinds of beer, and had such a bad hangover... I even drank a ton of water, vitamins and stuff... nothing helped. I recovered after mums home made soup tho Very Happy
I don't think I'll quit drinking, just be moderate. I don't have to get shitfaced to have good times. I tried this Belgian beer Karmeliet, and it was the best I ever had! The only bad thing is that it's expensive Sad
