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.
