Drinking just to get drunk
I mean this a little too seriously
"We're going to get absolutely shitfaced, you in?"
"No of course I'm not - I'm not 14"

Don't get me wrong, I drink lots. I enjoy drinking, and enjoy being tipsy, pissed and merry. But sitting there necking foul shots until someone chucks doesn't seem like fun. Being too wasted to remember or enjoy anything just seems pointless. I've done it, and I'll inevitably do it again, but I cannot for the life of me see the appeal. Can anyone (over the age of 15, until when it's still new, cool and exciting) explain?

I'm with you on this.
A pleasant glow is nice. Getting so blasted that I can't walk and will probably boke in some unfortunate flowerbed...Nah. Didn't think it was that brilliant at age 19 and time has not changed my opinion.

Also people thinking they're big and clever to get completely shitfaced
Some of them brag about it for days afterwards.
Eejuts.

i don't go out of my way to get shitfaced
but i have a tiny stomach and a very limited capacity for alcohol. by the time i've had 2 drinks, a third seems like a great idea. by the time i've had the third, i'm pissed and don't give a shit anymore.

...
...which am teh fine - accidental wastedness is a hazard of life and it can be great when it happens - I just don't get setting out with a couple of bottles of evil schnappes or something with the sole intention of getting blitzed...

Never understood it at all.
"Ohhh, we got sooooo drunk *laughs* you should have been there!"


...No, I shouldn't have. Why would I want to get drunk? Tipsy and happy, "socially lubricated", sure. Acting like a twat, getting violent, falling over... no.
