Drinking with your younger self

MOH

If you could go for a drink with yourself from, say, four years ago, would you bother?

I don't mean so you could give yourself all kinds of valuable information, just for a couple of drinks.

Are you similar enough to how you were then, with enough in common to make it worthwhile? Or have you moved on to better things? Or do you think you are/were an antisocial gimp you have no notion of wasting time on?

Doctor DooM

Nah it would be cool to trip back and see what was important to me then.

Plus he could get the rounds in

watna

I'd go back to 4 years ago but it would be to tell the 19 year old me a few home truths about the bf I had at the time, among other things!

monkeyfudge

I'd totally date rape my younger self.

Spud83

I find it hard to go for a drink with myself now. Boring prick.

Gizzle

Nah, I'm sure it'd cause some kind of time paradox and then I'd just cease to exist altogether. Then whose round would it be?

would that be rape or masturbation?

humanji

I'd be just depressed about the fact that I can't drink that much anymore Oh, and I'd tell myself to stop picking at it. It really will get worse!

Dave!

So true I still have to put sudocream on every morning!

Wait, what were YOU talking about? >_>

I wouldn't bother drinking with my old self... I was too quiet and a bit of a moan.

AlmightyCushion

Nope. The guy would only be 17 so we could have trouble getting served.

MrJoeSoap

I'd do it, would be good for a laugh.

But if I can do it... then surely I already have...

Dalfiatach

Ach, me 4 years ago is the same as me now really. I'd go back to me around 1995, that lad seriously needed a few pointers in the right direction. I wasted the entire second half of the 90s pining after me ex.

I suspect I'd have ended up right where I am today anyway, I just would have had a lot more fun 1995-1999

Niamho!

Yeah i would. although i think i can SOMEtimes be a bit more Rowdy now.

Isn't that when you **** yourself off to an NWA album?

I'd probably end up getting hammered and loosing the rag with my former self and killing him. Then again I was alot fitter back then, he might kill me...this requires further investigation.

As a rule though no, I would not go drinking with my teenage self.

moco

4 years ago I was much the same as I am now, although I'm a bit more worldly wise about men than I was back then. I could drink more back then though!:o

ryanairzer

I'm not getting a twelve year old drunk! :eek:

uglyjohn

i think younger me would just tell older me to f*** off, but if i could go back....there are a lot of things i would do differently.

The Hill Billy

I'd have great craic with myself 4 years ago because we'd have the same sense of humour, interests, drinking habits & capacities, etc.

Now, if we were talking about 14 years ago it would still be good craic but I'd never be able to keep up with that young fella!

(I'd also be a tad jealous of his full head of hair & wash board-like abs. )

Drift

I'd go for a few drinks with myself. Not sure if I'd be too much craic though, I've become a lot more outgoing in the past 4 years.

Also I wouldn't be able to resist giving the young lad some advice regarding women, his dress sense :rolleyes:, women, his driving, women, trusting people and women. Oh and did I mention I'd give him some advice about women! The thing is he wouldn't listen to any of it because at 21 every guy reckons he knows EVERYTHING. In fact someone probably did give me all the advice I'd give myself and I've just forgotten cos I ignored it at the time.

So he'd probably end up not liking me. :rolleyes:

I'd date rape your younger self too.

OT: nah, I probably couldn't keep up the drinking pace.

Actually now that I think of it about it 4 years ago I had a pretty ill-conceived beard.

MooseJam

You saucy minx

Nuttzz

I'd say 13 16 20 34 40 43 are the numbers you are looking for

bronte

hmm..I might have done a few things differently..but in saying that, my 19 yr old self wouldn't listen to me anyway..damn her!

Jello

Four years ago? That'd mean going drinking with a twelve year old. No thanks.

D Bronc

I would go for a drink with "myself" four years ago, now go back around seven years and hell would have to freeze over before i'd go for a drink with the person i was then :eek: .

Mrs. MacGyver

I would not have gone for a pint with myself 4 years ago. I was a whiny teacher who lived for hoildays and spent all day complaining! I changed jobs, travelled a bit and grew into my personality. i was fairly anti social then. i'm more outgoing now though and more interesting to be with (well in my view anyway!)

andrew

i'd go back and laugh at how tiny my 13 year old self was then

GhostInTheRuins

I'd definitely do it. That's is, If I could stand being around him. I warn him about all the crap he could fix in the future. Stupid ****er

cruibin

hmmm... go back 4 years.... I'd tell myself to steer clear of absinthe before metal gigs... and no stage diving!

go back 20 yrs.... lots of advice to give... but would probably end up dead.. I was a bit wild then. I'll pass on that one!

Dun laoire

No chance. I know the fuker would talk me into going clubbing on a tuesday out to club m or something like that giving me all the promises that he has two ladies lined up and all i need to do is turn up. Not for me young man

shane86

Definitely.

The 17 year old me always seemed to know where there was a good house party hoppin off. Maybe its rose tinted and all that ****e but i think we pulled more back then and all. We were poor but we were happy. Somehow it almost seems we had better craic drinkin earwaxy dutch in back alleys and headin to house parties and generally making a whole weekend out of 40 euro than we do now with our 5 quid drinks in sh1t Irish nightclubs. The old me (and the crew) drank in the alleys, sneaked into the clubs, went to after parties and generally arrived home as the sun came up. That buzz just seems to be gone, I havent been to a truly great house party in this country in maybe 4 or 5 months (remember falling out of a classic in my mates around May maybe around 7am, sun coming up, start of a beautiful day and me thinking "haha, summer has landed!!!".....cue that being pretty much the last of the good weather and 3 months of continous piss )

Summer of 04, take me back

arybvtcw0eolkf

I'd actually like to go back and fight myself four year's ago!.

Nala

I'd tell my 17 year old self that the guy you are going out with now seems great but is nothing compared to the guy you will be going out with in 4 years' time. However I would also tell my 17 year old self that I should keep going out with this guy, so I am more experienced (less chance of fúcking up) and more appreciative when I do meet the better one.

Geeeez, I was only 16, dumb and foolish. Now I'm just foolish.
