NOTE: I will be rambling incoherently in this thread. Some of the things I write will probably not make a lot of sense, but I am currently on one of the worst hangovers of my life, so please bear with me. This is also, hopefully, not like every other thread on the topic.

Yeah, I know it is a somewhat broad subject. As I see it, however, that just means that most people, if not all, will be able to partake in the "discussion". Party-going - it is a wondrous thing. Maybe you're the ladies' man, bagging a dame for the night... Maybe you're the guy who's dead-drunk every time... Maybe you're the one chilling with some weed over alcohol... Maybe you're drugtastic type, sniffing some cocaine... Maybe you're just hanging back, social drinking with a few buddies, playing games.

My point is that there are many types of people, and all of these have different experiences. Some drink every weekend, some just when they are celebrating, and there are even those who never really drink, but just "party" without alcohol.

Some say eyes can say a lot about a person, some say they can read a person from the way they draw their fingers blindfolded. I find these things to be utter horseshit. I am not sure where I was going with that, I just felt like mentioning it. Maybe that behaviour is more important than that, and people only are what they feel that they are? No hocus pocus in that. No green, yellow or red auras. No spot for determining when you will die. It is all bollocks.

What I am asking here, I guess, is what type are you? Have you got a, or even a few, stor(ies)y that is the absolute epitome of your person and way of life?

What topic is complete without the OP posting an example? I hope this will mean more of you will decide to contribute to the thread, even if just to comment on my awesome story... Also, just to outline what I mean when I ask you, who you are.

I've been out the last 5 days in a row. I'm not talking a little drinking, I'm talking heavy drinking. I would lie if I said I wasn't much of a drinker, but I am gutted to admit that I am not partying as much as I would like to. Other things just seem to find their way into my calender on the weekends, and days off. This means I party twice as "hard" when I finally find my way to some mates' house, or a pub.
These last five days have been a release from reality, if you will, even escaping.(Amagad, we are on "the Escapist".) To give you an example of what have transpired in the past days of my life, I give you this brief story:

We are sitting about 20 people watching Denmark's last group-game in the World Cup. It's against Japan. I've been drinking steadily for about 5 hours. (Yes, we start early) And am currently drinking whiskey on the rocks, while having both a 50cl beer, and a glass(yes, actual glass) of Jägermeister sitting on the table for me. Then the Japanese score. I drink heavier. Then they score again. I start yelling and shouting, and the mood in my mates apartment is slowly becoming tense. We can only watch as the World Cup is flushed down the toilet by our incredibly over-the-hill front-man Jon Dahl Tomasson, as he fires up his shitler engine. He even misses the ball... Several times.

I end up kissing some lass whose name I cannot remember(If I was ever told) and then drive, along with a couple of mates, from the other guys apartment. We get into a pub at around 1 AM, and hang around there, drinking quite awesomely. I recall it is me trying to drink the shame of the Denmark-Japan game away, but then again I may just have been incredibly drunk and wanted to drink more. I clock out at around 6 AM, order a taxi and go to sleep... Only to wake up at around 1 PM, and immediately rendezvous at same guys apartment from another day of drinking.

That's my story. I drink. A lot. But I also only drink to have fun, and when mates are involved. I find this to be epitomizing my way of life. I have little time for worries, when you can just take everything one day at a time. I try to do what I want, when I want, without being overly impulsive and obnoxious.

Also, if you have any awesome tips for drinking, this is the thread for you!

Here is my tip: If you take Moskovskaya and put it in the freezer for a little while, you can take it up and drink it like water. That's a vodka, by the way, and it's a damn good one. Used to do it with one of my good mates all the time. It's a nice and easy way to get a little drunk, and loosen up. Moskovskaya in freezer = no taste, and therefore ability to drink like it was nothing. I'm not sure if it works with any other type of vodka - my mates uncle always brought back Moskovskaya from trips to Russia, and that's what we used for it.

END NOTE: Before you refuse to partake, please feel free to discuss anything drinking related in this thread... Including why people would want to drink. I will happily discuss anything with you, even if I am terribly hung over. It just feels like I am alienating a large portion of the userbase by making a thread dedicated to partying, and drinking, as many people here seem to be against it or simply not be fond of it to the point of being abstinent.

Also WOW this became a long post.

Social drinker whom also likes to play video games relatively soberly with said friends. I find no reason to drink too much, though I have been drunk once or twice. (I'm 18, by the way)

Though I have no qualms about other people drinking themselves into stupor beyond thinking they are idiots, but that's just me.

I have been brought up with the tradition of drinking in celebration to someones past life when they die. So instead of mourning their death, we celebrate their life. Then I drink. I also drink wine for dinners when on vacation, and maybe a drink or two before dinner =).

I rarely ever drink besides that. And I don't go to "parties" that much. I sometimes get dragged along by friends, hit the town and such, but I'm not a party-person. I prefer cuddled in my couch with a good movie or something^^.

I'm horrible when it comes to parties. I just stick back in the corner, or just find a place to sit and stay there the entire time, often thinking about unrelated things. If I know a few people I may talk to them if they talk to me. If someone comes up to me to talk, I'll talk to them (I'm not horrible at being social, after all) but over all I don't really party.

I don't dance, I don't drink, I'm just laying back watching others do their thing. I'm not much for the big celebrations; I'd rather just talk to a few people or something, but I'm definitly not one for big crowds or the overall atmosphere of a party.

There's always one loser that brings a permanent marker to draw on passed-out patrons... I should know, that loser is me.

I don't drink. Not at the moment anyway, i'm much much to poor. As a result parties are not fun for me. Why? Because all but one of my friends are crappy drunks. And going to a party by yourself sucks. Pubs are good though, people always buy me beer. Tis good.

I don't drink at parties. I am underage and signed an agreement with my parents not to drink without their permission before I turned 18.
You may say many things about me; but I am not the type that breaks big promises like that.

Therefore, my regular party-experience consists of me sitting in a sofa watching the other partygoers get drunk.

Edit: So, I don't really like parties. I don't think I would be much of a party person if I could drink either. I just don't find the notion very appealing: If I am going to hang out with friends I would much rather clearly define what we are going to do, like going bowling or something, and have fun inside that frame.
For example, I am going horseback riding today with some friends, and I much prefer that to going out, aimlessly partying, for however long.

Edit 2: I'll probably start drinking when I turn 18 though. I am curious of all the strange drinks out there.

The three greatest things in life. Parties, Women, and Alcohol.

I'll just go ahead and post some crazy party stories.

I've been to some wild ass parties myself. Including once that we got so drunk on White wine (in public, it was free) and I ended up puking nine times and passing out naked on a balcony. Still can't drink wine .

Another time some cougar was buying me drinks, and I ended up so drunk that I crashed a rental motorcycle (more like a moped) with her on the back. It was not a pretty sight.

Edit: Also, I've gotten so sweaty and tired dancing that I was thinking about refusing sex once. Didn't though, because I am a man.

I'm underage and while I'm definitely not a party person - unless it's a LAN party - I find it's a lot more fun to drink when you're not allowed to. But I still prefer to be in control of myself. Seeing everyone else fucked up around me is enough to convince me to stay sober. Sometimes I catch on to the energy of a crowd, but since the music is usually crap, I don't enjoy myself that much anyway. I just don't try hard enough. I only go to parties if my friends make me go, and then I spend most of my time sitting in a corner being all elitist and pretentious about the music with like minded loners until my friends are ready to go. And if I feel bored enough to drink then I might, but if someone hands me a drink and tells me to lighten up then somehow that pisses me off. Anyway. Drinking. Based on my experiences and personal observations, it is way too easily abused to be something I want to deal with.

I believe in working hard and playing hard

Most weekends I will have a drink, but then some on weekends, usually after a very long week, I just want to get trashed.

I am not really so much interested in getting a member of the opposite sex, since i have been in a relationship for sometime now, but I just want to drink until I have that crazy happy theory

Since I live in Japan, I do not use drugs.

Oh I love a cold beer when eating fish, and you need white whine for chicken/light meat, and red wine for veal. It is a must. I have a question, though, if you don't mind(Do not feel obligated to answer):
Wouldn't you rather be with someone, instead of being with yourself? I mean, I like alone-time as well, especially with my computer - but you need to socialize. I'm talking about the "I would rather be cuddled up in my couch..." comment. I like watching movies as well, but would much rather be out on the weekends.

So... Are you drunk? It sounds rather unlikely for you to be that passive in a party-context, if you're drunk. If you are, I'd wager you aren't drunk enough.

That's hardly worthy of calling yourself a loser over. People do much worse things than that, especially when they are drunk out of their mind. They end up humiliating themselves, when they try to humiliate the one passed out. Of of my mates (actually the one with the apartment in the story in the OP) once struck his dick in the mouth of a guy passed out... And you know we got pictures of that. It's Eric Cartman from South Park all over again, with Butters. I swear he will never live that down.

I can sympathize. Luckily I am very generous when I have money, so people are very generous to me when I have none.

I'd say you should wait until you've tried drinking, to say parties are dull. You will eventually drink your shyness away, become more social, and have a lot of fun. Trust me :)

That sounds awesome! :D
I'm sure you can relate when I say "Haven't you tried then, to be in a situation where the lady is unbuttoning your pants, and you just know it's not going to happen because you are too drunk? When she tries and tries, and nothing happens?"
That's happened to me a few times. Fuck.

I've also passed out on a balcony. I woke up in my own vomit, and then somehow fell down. Luckily it wasn't very high, so I just sprained my left ankle, but damn... That shit will scar you. I haven't been anywhere near a balcony, while drunk, since.

If you don't mind me making assumptions(And please don't. It's not meant to offend.) you don't sound like you have that much "experience". Also, you can't use "observations" to anything. Drunk people always act like completely morons, but they're still having much more fun than you are, sitting in the corner.

I'd say give it a go. Go out with some mates to get hammered/shitfaced/fucked up, and then I promise you, you will have a good time.

If your "experience" consist mainly of you sitting in the corner, being angered when some drunk assholes tells you to lighten up, being annoyed by the music, while also "observing" the drunk people... Then I can see how you might not want to "deal with" it.

I spend time with people, yes. And you can be cuddled in your couch with someone, doesn't have to just be me =p. But I don't like loud and noisy parties. I don't enjoy spending my days off jumping around on a floor to music I hate with people I don't know and have no interest in knowing =3.

I don't like beer, and I don't like fish. Can't enjoy that combination then =p. I rarely eat chicken, but I enjoy white wine for starters and almost always red for the main course, which is also pretty much always something nice and meaty =p. I LOVE meat, and wouldn't call a meal a meal without it.

I also like something strong after dinner, but I can't legaly drink it in Norway, so I only ever get that when I'm on vacation in some other country where I can.

I spend time with friends every day, except for a small number of days when I feel like being alone. And even then I'll end up getting visitors or something =D.

I do not have a problem with shyness. For god's sake, I did "Caramelldansen" in front of the people at a party once. It just bothers me that there is no clear objective to a party (save getting drunk), all people do is talk, get drunk, and make out. Neither of which I am particularly interested in.
Even though drinking may cure shyness, it probably won't cure the fact that I am not particularly fond of people. I imagine myself as the guy who sits alone in a bar, drowning his sorrows. That or drinking with one or two friends sounds nice.

Cider. And chocolate. And Battlefield 2 with 3 mates over and my boyfriend?

More fun than any other party.

The familiarity of your own home. The joy of having just your best mates over. The right alcohol. The right snacks. The right music. And extreme plane diving and pick-ups in Battlefield 2. Awesome.

I don't go out much, ever. I have anxiety problems. And if I do go out and try to drink, the person that emerges ain't pretty. When stressed, I am an ANGRY drinker... the sort of psycho girl who takes on some guy twice her size.

I don't like being that girl. So I don't get close.

I love love love house parties, although I haven't been to a good one for a year or so now. Much more common is (in this order, obviously) pre-drinks/pub/bars/club, by which point I'll be suitably drunk and can dance the night away.

One of the best things (or worst since I'm moving out in like a day) is that a new bar has opened up about 3 doors down from my house, and we've become best friends with the guys who own it. Since it's normally just us and them late Tuesdays they do lock ins for us and its totally sweet - last time we were having downing races that involved riding a kayak down a flight of stairs in between drinks.

EDIT: And to answer properly - I love getting smashed, and I'm normally drunk one or two nights a week. I love been loosened up and I love flirting when I'm a little drunk. What I love more than *anything*, however, is dancing and grinding with whoever the hell cares to join in with me :):)

Where in Japan do you live? Because I absolutely need you to recommend good places for drink and merriment :D

See, I absolutely *hate* been around drunk people when I'm not that way myself. I know a bunch of people who don't drink and completely respect that. However, when they say things like "oh I totally can't wait to go out tonight!" all I can think is "why?" Been in a club sober is bad enough, been in a club sober 3 hours later when everyone else is falling over around you is a little version of hell.

Most of it, is just not finding the appeal in getting shit drunk to the point whereas you can't even remember your own name, let alone stand. Why anyone would want to do that, and deal with the disastrous hangover afterward.. is just bizarre to me. *Shrugs*
