First of all, im a second year uni student, 19 and id say i drink alot butnot to the point i drink to pass out or drink to get wasted all the time.

I love beer and have done since i was young, coming from a rugby community you get more or less'force-hydrated' with beer from a young age so you kind of grow up with it. I think it all depends on who you hang around with and the culture you live in and adopt to how you percieve the whole drinking thing.

I enjoy my beer, i dont force anyone to drink and i dont negatively distrupt others when im drinking, but i have met lots of people who dont act the same way and can be the worst people you have ever met when they are drunk, its just a matter of avoiding those type of people.

On a similar note the thing i realy cant stand is people smoking in public places. Wheras drinkers have the option to say no to having a drink, what can none smokers do around smokers? Hold there breath? I know this is another topic but it irritates me hehe. Especially when you come from a culture where you are guarenteed to find smokers in every bar and pub you come across (the UK).

As for drinking ages hehe, im sure i will slow down eventually but i dont think ill ever stop, nor do i think ill ever loose the 'taste'.

1. Pee alot.

Yeah this can be a real big disadvantage some nights but they do give you a few minutes to cool off or have a time out before hitting the party again.

2.Be silly.

I agree that the ability to give you uncontrollable and down right dumb laughing fits that could possibly induce a heart attack is a prety large downside.Drink doesnt make you do stupid things, just lets you do them without the normal hesitations, restrictions andmental consiquences. Besides being silly can be great fun hehe

3. Forget that your were being silly.

Theres is nothing funnier than finding out what you were getting up to last night from a 3rd party hehe then the memories start coming back slowly but surly. Even funnier when the only way to remember the night before is by reviewing the video footage you took with your camcorder

4. Find ugly women, attractive (ok, this one may have been too low).

If they are still there in the morning then yeah this can be a major problem if you have this affliction (hehe not everyone goes after ugly chicks when they get drunk hehe). On the other hand its not all bad, if it happens to your mate then you are guarenteed a great night of mockery, jokes and blatent wounding to their pride all in the name of pulling of course.

5. Puke.

Ive only ever puked once from alcoholic drinks and that was from drinking a couple of bottles of alcopops(girly drinks in other words). I just dont have the stomach for drinking that crap and thats the main reason ive never tried another since (excluding vodka redbull). Some people react badly to alcohol, i tend to react badly to too much sugary/sickly drinks so this point does realy effect me much.

6. Get arrested.

Ive never been arrested, granted im only 19 but hey i hope never to get arrested. Thugs and louts who go out, get wasted then purposesly pick fights and vandlise deserve everything they get and as soon as harsher punishments start getting dished out for drunken disorderly and drunken violent behavior offendees im all the happier. You can have a great time getting drink or simply enjoying a chilled out day at the pub without resorting to illegal activities.

Ive had some of the worst and best times around drunk people and being drunk, it shows people for who they truly are without barriers and allows people who wouldnt normally express themselves to go off on one and paint the town red.
