Counting Drinks - Saxperience

Does it do any body else's head in?

Went out at the weekend with a load of lads, i cant drink so i just kinda sat back and listened.

It dawned on me that every time we go out, its like a subconscious competition to see who can drink more.

I can honestly hold my hand up and say that after 6-7 strongbows, i have well and truly found my dancing feet and i would be happy not to drink any more and have a good time, wake up slightly headachy but otherwise fine.

Most, if not all of my mates seem to think your less of a man if you cant down 5 pints within the first 20 seconds of entering each pub. Then spend the rest of the night absolutely out of your mind making an absolute tit of your self (but its ok because your drunk

) then feel rough for the next 2 days and do it all over again the next weekend.

I have a friend who is big, i mean 18+stone big. Ive sat him down about his drinking habits before as seems to be the main culprit for inflicting peer pressure on who can drink more. I have seen him destroy 42 cans of strongbow in a period of about 8 hours. I think i would actually die from that. He thinks nothing of it and happily spends £250 a weekend on piss. Crohnic alcoholic me thinks. He wont accept it and drinks to feel better. Nice circle.

Gets on my tits that you cant go out and have a good time, drink to your limit, find your dancing feet and then stop without someone at some point during the night calling you a pussy because they can drink more.

Rant over.

Drink to enjoy - not too excess is the best way!

Find your own limits & drink at your own rate!

Next time he gets wasted rape him, he'll think more next time about getting out of his face.

I dont drink

well not really, have like a pint or 2 every other weekend. Getting rat-arsed, acting like a prick then puking your guts up isn't my idea of a good night and doesn't make you hard.

6 pints normally has me merry.

Everyones different though.
Doing £250 a weekend on booze must suck the dong.

I agree with what you're saying, there is pressure to drink more than your limit. Its because to there is always someone who can drink more than you, and they are usually the type to encourage you to drink more. I tend to drink 5 or 6 ciders, couple of shots and maybe a few JDS on an average night before i am content not to drink any more. One of my mates (also 18 stone+) will easily drink triple that and insist he isn't addicted to alcohol. Not much you can do for them really, just have to look out for yourself i guess.

I drunk over 100 bottles of corona in a week.

I had about 50 empty bottles in our room that i was saving for an epic picture but on the second to last day room service took them away. Devvo'd.

I agree too.

Me and my friends used to do it allot.. but we have been going to the pub on a weekend since we were 15.. We don't really do 'competition' now; in the aspect that.. we see who can drink the most. But we do comment if someone is a 'shit' drinker.. Ie.. sit there for 45 minutes with the same pint

frankie · 23rd June 2008, 15:41

after about one pint me mouth goes numb and i run round slapping everyones ass.....

Karl · 23rd June 2008, 15:41

Corona, could drink that stuff all day,
seriously rocks.

I agree mate, it does my tits in too. Sometimes i can go out and sup pint after pint and get no worse than the dancing feet stage and other times i can go out and after 5-6 am feeling pretty pagid and wanting to take it easy. I hate the comparable side of it the morning after. TBH you can drink more without the pressure.
