How many things has alcohol ruined for you?

oneintotwo

I've just been thinking about all the **** alcohol has ruined for me. Broke my ankle twice (once in another country 4 hours after getting off the plane), have had more than one good relationship ruined by drink. Not to mention all of the nights out that have ended in taking care of someone getting violently sick.

I mean, is it all worth it?

orourkeda

sex and sobriety

it's great

Yes, alcohol has ruined lots of things for me. Relationships, health, finanical security, self esteem.

That's why I don't drink any more.

alwaysadub

It's ruined a good top on more than one occasion with people spilling drink all over it

If drink is affecting you that much,think it might be time to give it up

did anyone vomit on any of the tops?

landsleaving

My girlfriend's radiator. But that was vomit rather than alcohol.

Tbh, if it wasn't for alcohol I'd have missed out on many of the most fun experiences of my life, so yeah, it's definitely worth it, despite the occasional messy night.

You're listing bad things about drink and you left out hangovers?

we'llallhavetea_old

nothing really.

jigglywoo

Diet coke.

It just tastes like there should be vodka in it.

One was basically that she told me a lot of very personal stuff while drunk (we were only going out a week) and then got freaked out by it the next day.

The other was drink was had, the L word was said by her, turns out she was drunk and didn't mean it. Out the door!

Is this thread sponsored by drinkaware.ie? I mean c'mon it's like reading a transcript of an AA meeting.

Hi my name is chin_grin and I've had a bad time with a taxed drug that 99% of people abuse and therefore have had some dodgey stories to tell.

But yeah, I have a few doozies. Woo. That's for another meeting though. I don't feel like we all know each other well enough yet. :pac:

Mrmoe

zero, I can handle my drink.

Helix

not as many things as it perhaps couldve if im being honest. ive had a few lucky escapes

dont really drink any more, mainly coz theres a fine line between me being ok with drink on me, and being someone i absolutely cannot stand

artanevilla

The next day. I get terrible hangovers.

Did anyone become a parent through an alcohol induce one night stand.?

InkSlinger67

My career as a gymnast is in the toilet due to my fondness of Gin. Who knew being a Gin hound wouldn't help you while up 8 foot in the air on a beam doing summersaults?

Not me, but I've got a cousin called Bud.

That's not even close to as bad as I was expecting. Immature behaviour by the ladies in question rather than alcohol being the real villain. (I'm assuming they left after saying these things, not you?)

bonerm

Mainly just wasted next-days due to being hungover. Glad I quit tbh.

entropi

So far, none...

There is time though:pac:

to be fair, most people are, but generally within the confines of acceptability

go out with your mates on a session but dont drink

makes you wonder

Please forgive me for asking, but what are you like when you're not drinking?:D

Actually alcohol cannot be blamed for anything. People choose to drink so people are the ones to blame for whatever they do when they drink.

jiggerypokery

Only my early 20's to early 30's.

Mint Sauce

a couple of shirts, due to spills

admitence to a night club

sex once or twice

and a bathroom mat, but that was more down to the vomit

Let's change this thread to 'what has drinking alcohol ruined for you', for the pedantics out there.

Well it's ruined nothing for me because I'm not stupid enough to let alcohol ruin anything for me

corkcomp

caused me a broken coccyx two years ago, it was a real pain in the ass. maybe alcohol was responsible for me getting a few slaps over the years too . other than that no negative effects to report:D

thetonynator

you're more likely to get a night out runied if you're sober cause you invariably end up looking after the person who got absolutley plastered and then vomited all over you and your clothes and you had to stay awake all night watching them in case the vomit and end up chokinng on it and dying . . .

So drink can ruin it for you even if you're not drinking . . .

That should be pedants...

Drink hasn't ruined anything for me.. It's ruined my brother for 15 years or so but that's a different story.

MaybeLogic

Ruined my heel one time after falling from the climbing ropes of a gym in London I had broken into, during a champagne induced blackout.
Imagine my confusion the next morning, waking up on the bench of the changing rooms, sans shoes and socks, in pain from the fall, and not remembering where my friends place was, where my phone and jacket and wallet was, because the blackout had descended before reaching his house.
Fun times indeed.

Really, that may be the case at the begining, but onces you are addicted the addiction takes over and choice takes 2nd place.

The undercurrant of alcohol abuse in Ireland is terrible, the social effects (family abuse, poverty, neglect) is overlooked.

citizen_p

nothing yet....always made things better. mainly because i dont put on my drunkness.
like when i started drinking a few of my mates would sort of pretend to be drunk after 2 cans. where as if they wer in a pub theyd still be sitting quiet in the corner.

Sea Sharp

So many potential scores ruined by me getting too drunk and acting like an eejit.

It's a fine line, and for me that line is around 4 or 5 pints.

veryangryman

Alcohol is a poisoned chalice

Its like one of those relationships where you have alot of arguments etc, but you always go back for the warm feeling it gives you

Second thoughts...WTF OP!!! Mods, hand out a lengthy ban to this madman for criticising alcohol. FOR SHAME! :mad:

You thought i was angry before??!
