Drinking in.

foreman1916

well let me put the question to boardies, is drinking in, instead of drinking in a pub a bad idea??????

my reasons for asking the question is that i believe that drinking in, instead of going out is probablely one worst things a person can do, for there health and i believe in years to come this will come to haunt people and there will be a large increase in the numbers getting liver disease and other drinking related diseases due to drinking in. My view is that when drinking out you a limited by time and money to the amount which you can drink, whereas when drinking in you dont have these constrains so people can find themself drinking them self to an early death from drinking in. This idea of drinking in has become popular due to price of drink out and drink driving and bad taxi's in rural areas. i believe something has to be done or there will be serious problems in future years. im not saying to ban people from drink in cause i enjoy a drink in but there has to some way of motioring people drink habits when there at home or even only sell drinks with low alcohol concentration drinks and limiting amount aloud to be brought at one time. this is serious. hope that this can help show people how bad it can be and to be responsible when drinking in, incase it leads to acloholism and drink related diseases in the future.

FYP Mark11.

Drinking in is the bomb. Uncomfortable drinking wine in a pub but it's my prefered tipple (that and beer).

FearDark

I always stay in and drink. I have a furry cup which I drink from regularly and I can only drink from it at home.

ScumLord

Your right, drinking in is the new heroin. We should ban roofs and windows to make it less pleasurable for the scum who do it.

Run_to_da_hills

Over the Christmas I saved myself a fortune staying at home drinking including any potential hospital bills for walking out in this weather.

Bottle_of_Smoke

People often drink more in a bar due to the excessive music making it too loud to talk, the heat in the place making you more thirsty and social nervousness.

Do you yourself drink more at home? I'm fairly sure I drink more when I go out.

Tipsy Mac

Why not also limit the tap water per day just incase they drink too much water and it kills them :rolleyes:

No.

Awesome. So my money can buy infinite alcohol in an offy now? Who knew.

Edit: And I'll be made immortal by avoiding pubs? Damn, I already have gone to some. Guess I'll not be immortal now. Why wasn't I told before?

robby^5

If people drink too much simply because they can afford to buy more alcohol, well I'm afraid that they're idiots. It's called self control, know your limits.

That said though I don't really see why you think people who stay in are automatically going to go so overboard that they'd damage their livers. Bit sensationalist don't you think?

Mrmoe

Would you also like to ban sharp objects, matches, fatty foods and anything else that might impinge upon our health? The critcial words are "our health". Why should you or anybody else have any say in it whatsoever?

Whispered

I'm in tonight, I'm drunk. You're making no sense op/

Local-womanizer

I drink less when drinking in,mainly because after a few pints in a pub it leads to a load of whiskey in a club.

Lack of cop on leads to silly threads me thinks.

Edit: Oh,and money constraints will always apply,unless the OP knows of a fantastic Off licence which hands out free crates?

All I can say is I hope you don't ever get into a position of power/government. Monitor this, control that, impose limits - what ever happened to people making their own choices about how they live their life?

In any case I don't think people are likely to drink alot more when at home than when they're out, if anything I'd say the opposite is true. Yes you are right in that in general nowadays young people drink too much, myself included. But the last thing we need is the government trying to impose more limits on what we can and can't do. Those chancers no longer have the right to tell anyone what to do.

I find it the exact opposite. When I'm drinking 'in' I find myself drinking a lot less. I'm not being constricted to stupid closing times i.e. less binge drinking (the worst kind) due to the bar closing, being on 'rounds' with people that drink you under the table. It's also hard to leave a pub when there's a good buzz etc. Drinking at home is the way forward..

drunkmonkey

i tried the drinking at home friday night but ran out of beer and with only a bottle of vso left on the table decided to go to the pub, got even more drunk in the pub, then came home and drank some more until i passed out. I don't think it makes a difference where you drink' the main thing is that you get drunk. As for me health, shane mc gowan is still alive and he drinks way more than me and he seems fine.

cloneslad

Just sitting in your house alone getting pi$$ed is a bit cr*p.

If there are loads of people in the house with you then it's a bit of craic. It's good fun to meet up with your mates and relax with a few drinks in the house and have a bit of a catch up (and I don't even drink).

But I have to admit that I like going to the pub to chat to lots of different people especially those you don't expect to meet when out and there's bugger all cleaning up to so afterwards.

gamblitis

Common sense should tell you when enough is enough whether you're in or out.

Know your limits.

Who's saying you have to get pissed? You can enjoy a few drinks a home to relax if you want. The French don't drink wine to get 'pissed', they drink it because they like it. The Irish way is to get pissed alright.

Sorry Jumpguy,

Some words there threw me way off .. you drinking in again?

brianthebard

There's only a certain amount you can drink no matter where you are, so the drinking out agument doesn't hold any water there. If you're at home without hte pressure of going to the bar or observing closing times then theres a chance you won't drink as fast, plus I always drink faster when I'm out, I dunno if its from nerves or what but I do. So basically there's nothing wrong with drinking at home.

Which pub did you say you owned?

Lord Nikon

Drinking at home is an excuse not to go out.

Hell, I can even ring in a Chinese delivery while I'm drinking at home, and it wont get cold from the walk home from the pub.

dsmythy

I drink less at home. When you're standing there with a drink in your hand in a pub/club it's just too easy to take swigs out of it.

Trust me, it's a lot easier to take swigs out of cold beer from the fridge that's already been paid for.

I honestly think this is the answer, which is a question, to ask the OP.

He sounds like a guerilla marketer for the Vintner's Association.

Every leaving cert night the VA does a campaign asking parents where they'd prefer a child drinking; at a house party with drugs and sex, or in a pub where it's safe and the publican will look after you?

It's such a ludicrous view of the pub that only someone who owned a bar could think of it.

AlmightyCushion wrote: »

And that's my response. If you lowered your prices I'd drink far more in your pub, where you try to claim its acceptable.

JONJO THE MISER

Oh shooks im on my 3rd can of Guinness drinking in, and its only 3 in the afternoon. I had better take it easy as i have only 21 cans left and then what am i gonna do? go to the pub i guess.

It wasn't me!

Or, and here's a wild, crazy, new and untested idea, people could take responsibility for their own fcuking actions!

it says "drink" or "drinking" 20 times... the word has lost all meaning

CPT. SURF

All I know is.. when i go out I come home scuttered and I die the next day:(.
On a Saturday night in, I curl up on the sofa, watch a film, have a takeaway, a few wee vodkas poured out with a shot glass so i get it just right and maybe have a craic with my boardsie pals....Next day I'm grand:).
I do however see how easily it can run to a habit.. extending the Sat night drink to a Fri and Sun then Mon is the end of the weekend and sure Thurs is the start of it...

I've a friend this happened to. She had to give it up for a while 'cos she was in a frenzy to get her child to bed so she could have her drink in peace (the child probably drove her to it in all honesty, he's an awful irritating young fella) but it was developing into a problem, lucky she nipped it in the bud..

and my oh's mate's wife went mad on the home drinking altogether..It was getting earlier and earlier she was at it. He was coming home from work and her p*ssed, kids neglected, very sad. Had to go away somewhere to dry out:(.

Drinking In ftw

Lux23

I get really bored drinking in, it can be fun but I go out to meet new people not just to drink.

pretty-in-pink

when i drink in I play games and go to bed early. when i drink out i dance and look silly and the bathroom queues...grrrr

what has the op done to the english language. drinking in?drinking out?jeez its a fruedian slip (damn it theres another one) waiting to happen

Faithless

Personally, I couldn't bare drinking in. I'm at home enough and staying there all night would just about send me over the edge. Going out is great, although I understand it might not appeal to the older group here, but being young and sexy such as myself, meeting new people (i.e - slutty southside girls) would be top priority and not the four walls of my living room.

pretty-in-pink

old? old? im old? dam it

MrKingsley

I was about to go and crack open a nice cool one from the fridge.

But after reading that I think ill say no!!! Instead ill head to the pub for a 5 euro pint and have a look at all of the weirdos in there who obviously spent their entire youths drinking in by the looks on their depressed faces

If someone wants to drink themselves to death in the privacy of their own home, the government can fúck off and like it.

Ann22

I love getting all dolled up and going out but I couldn't do it every week, I couldn't justify the money I'd spend. I wouldn't want to go out every weekend anyway.
