    I understand people like to have a good time. And my good time may not be lik other peoples.

    But those who post this stuff on social media.

    For instance men taking pictures of other men in the gents?

    Or pics of men and women drunk?

    Nominations?

    DO they realize how unattractive this makes them seem to everyone else?

    They just come across as knobs.

    And people who post pics of their ...well their bits???


    Drunk antics do not make you seem cool they make you seem like a child.

    How exactly am I supposed to fap to any of that, op?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭The One Doctor


    No, they don't realize, mainly because they're drunk. Try not to be so self-righteous, I'm sure you've be drunk at some point.

    Drunken antics are funny when you're drunk, they just speed up the dreaded flashbacks whilst sober.

    I think you need to change your circle of friends OP.

    I have never seen pics of any of my male friends bits or pics of them in the jacks on any social media sites.

    Because when anything bad that happens due to Idiocy can then be blamed on social media/Internet.....

    Drunkenness on my behalf was often my route to sexy time .Sober sex was a rare commodity for me , kinda like drinkin' tae out of a cup or ordering a half pint of Guinness with a little umbrella thingy in it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,180 ✭✭✭hfallada


    I think one of the most unattractive things in a person is someone a bit fond of the drink, even if its just on a night out. There is nothing more unappealing that a guy/girl barely able to stand, slurring his/her speech.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 792 ✭✭✭Ziegfeldgirl27


    The unattractive drunken antics of others is the reason I do not drink at all. I have never been drunk in my life.

    I just think it's absolutely disgusting especially women not being fit to bite their finger. Men turn into slabbering fools.

    I will never forget being out one night, and queuing up to collect my coat from the cloakroom. There was a man standing next to me and he just stood there puking on the spot. The puke was splashing everywhere. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. How do people think this is acceptable behaviour. Some poor cratur had to clean that up. Nobody should have to do that.

    Some people just shouldn't drink. Unfortunately these are normally the people that drink most.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    Speak for yourself OP. I for one find them very attractive.

    I remember in my younger days I thought going out and getting drunk was great. I would get so bad I would fall about the place. I remember once coming home and I suffered for days on the couch with a hangover. I woke my mam up that night and she told me that the dog didn't recognise me and was terrified. I learned a lesson that going out boozing and getting drunk is not great and it's not fun. This lesson came at a time when responsibilty came into my life. I learned that drunk is not a good way to unwind after a long week in work. You can do so much and also have fun without alcohol. Now days I much prefer going for a meal and there's loads of things that I would like to do if the finances allowed it like a trip to the zoo or cinema or others. On the rare occasion that I do drink, I know where my limits lie and by god do I stick to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Custardpi


    Yeah I've had similar experiences. Had a few "black outs" when I was younger. Eventually I learnt where my limits were & these days I generally stick to them. Learning one's limitations is all part of growing up I guess. For some people it takes a lot longer than others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,749 ✭✭✭Flippyfloppy


    Have to say I cringe when I see those 'smokey' kind of photos of people in house parties with stack of empty cans and stubbed out cigarette butts spilling out over ashtrays. Why you putting that on social media mang


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭bodice ripper


    Op is missing the point.

    No one drinks because they think it makes them attractive, they drink to make other people attractive...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool


    It is really unattractive and I cringe thinking back on how drunk I used to get.

    But they're not doing it to be attractive. Who cares what other people think of them? They obviously don't. They're enjoying themselves. Ye know? Joy!

    I woke my mam up that night and she told me that the dog didn't recognise me and was terrified. I learned a lesson that going out boozing and getting drunk is not great and it's not fun.

    This isn't classed as the life lesson you make it out be in your post. So glad I drink after reading that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,223 ✭✭✭orangesoda


    I recall people on my facebook went on a holiday after leaving school and there were photos of them in the nip lying drunk in the bathroom/bedroom

    If the worst thing about you boozing was the dog not recognizing you ( maybe it was bit pished itself, bitta the uisce beatha perhaps) then I'd hate to see how you dealt with the real fear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,632 ✭✭✭Aint Eazy Being Cheezy


    It's a vicious cycle OP. Embarrass yourself with drunken antics. Drink loads more the following night to forget how much of an embarrassing scourge you were before.

    Where'd I put my drink?!?

    If you think that drunken antics are not funny it means that you're not drinking enough or you didn't pull

    This made me giggle.

    But in all seriousness, I totally agree. I do/enjoy so much more now that I've stopped going out and getting hammered like I used to in my late teens/early twenties.

    Some of the funniest things I've done, heard, seen have been while drunk. I get the vague attitude that people think they're above others when they give out about how disgusting drink and being drunk is. Drink is a fine thing. I drink to get loose and enjoy myself. Just know what you're drinking and how much you can have of it. If you do get black out drunk.....so what! Have you ever eaten too much or indulged on something a bit too much. It happens sometimes as long as it isn't all the time then so be it. As for the social media thing of putting up the drunk antics that is too far at times. Just people embarrassing their friends online. Then again most of social media is a self glorification.

    Yep, have seen a girl passed out in a club with her feet on her own sick. Nobody seemed too bothered about her, and someone came along and de-sicked the floor with a pan and brush. Diabolical.

    You were lucky, when I was about that age our dog almost took off dad's hand because he (the dog) didn't like the smell of whisky.

    Yeah, getting blindo is all just part of the bants isn't it?

    "Women not being fit to bite their finger"??? Is that even a saying? I honestly can't work out what it means, (it's early, my brain isn't working yet).
    And regarding that fella who puked beside you in a club, maybe he had food poisoning??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    almost my last memory of one of my uncles was of him standing on the doorstep, drunk and swaying, first footing. he was wearing a red paper hat in pouring rain.

    when years later i saw him at my mothers funeral that was all i could remember.

    thankfully i am home every evening etc but there is one old man in the village who is drunk all day every day

    not clever...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,532 ✭✭✭Lou.m


    No, they don't realize, mainly because they're drunk. Try not to be so self-righteous, I'm sure you've be drunk at some point.

    I don't drink anymore.

    I was never a huge drinker at all.

    And it's not self righteous ...it's just right.

    I think people are entitled to one or two incidents. But a habit of it makes you seem like a moron.

    Girls and guys off there faces is not pretty.
    Forget about attractiveness I did not mean it in that sense I mean self respect!

    Other countries do it better.
    What is really scary is when people seem to think it's the sign of some kind of success.

    Doing it past college days on a regular/weekly basis is not the mark of a happy person.

    Feeling the need to post pics of it as status updates every Monday is childish.

    Telling people they're wrong (FACT!), morons, not happy, no self-respect...Lighten up FFS. What harm is it doing you?

    Firstly a couple of weeks ago a guy tried to pee right besides me when I was trying to get a Taxi.

    I could do without that.


    Secondly I have had to chase a girl up dames st in order to give her a shoe back that she lost. She was a complete stranger and told me to '****er eff'.

    Thirdly ...when I was in A& E as a teen ( kidney infection) I was on a trolley for hrs when most people in there were just there for being overly intoxicated.

    My taxes pay for that crap.

    There was a doc recently stating that the guards spent most of their time on drunken public disorder.

    So yeah ...it harms society. Bleh bleh.

    Thursday night there was some eejit on Dames st locked screaming the N word for no apparent reason as I walked by with a friend. We both looked at each other and went wow !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,532 ✭✭✭Lou.m




    Lol!!

    Hahah...this is hilarious...

    It's funny but ..well look at the comments. People are laughing at this guy.

    If you don't think people laughing are not being as brutal as myself.

    Abusing alcohol turns you into an idiot. That is not opinion it is the truth. You can't function and you do stupid things. Do it too much and you do even more stupid things.

    Seriously people who send drunk texts and get themselves into trouble etc. And then do it again.

    Either you learn or you don't.

    It's being kept awake at night with all the roaring.

    It's replacing kicked off €300 wing mirrors.

    It's powerhosing other people vomit and piss off our garden walls.

    It's worrying about the young lady on her own propped up against the railing across the road blind drunk and whether the guy dragging her away is her similarity drunk BF or a potential rapist.

    But sure it's all only a bit of craic. Especially funny was the private school educated rapscallions who laughed in my face when I interrupted them filming for youtube their madcap jape of standing on my car roof pissing down onto my bonnet. My mother got a great laugh from being mooned at as they ran off laughing at their own zany youthfully exuberant antics. I'm sure all their friends on Facebook thought they were absolute legends.

    it's all my fault for living in a house on a road leading to 3 pubs. It's my own fault for owning a car who's wing mirrors cost €300 to replace. It's all my fault for caring whether that drunk girl is going to have a very sore head or very sore genitals or worse in the morning. I should probably lighten up I guess. YOLO etc etc

    I like a few pints on a Friday night after a hard week's work. I usually drink 4 pints, discuss the week gone by, plan for weekend golf/football with the same lads and go home peacefully.
    Nothing wrong with a few drinks as long as you are being responsible, mature and respecting.

    BINGO you nailed it! Sorry about your car and your Mum etc.

    It is the bad behavior but also the entitlement of 'I'm proud of this'. They throw up and grin delighted with themselves.

    Also one point you made rings true. There are a lot of girls ( I am female myself) who get drunk and are so out of it you don't know whether to help them or what. You think erm she is going to get into trouble. Or more likely do something she does not realize. I was sitting with a guy friend in a club and we watched this girl who looked as if she had taken something besides alcohol. We wondered should we assist her and he said he would be afraid to alone as he is a guy. I just brought her to the attention of a female friend with her who did not seem to be interested. It turned out we were worried about the wrong thing. She cracked her head on the step on the way out and I could hear one of her friends saying 'you should sue ' etc. And people do get injured and then blame the club or whatever.

    The image of being out of it to the extent that you bother others is not the sign of a party animal, it is the sign of a walking disaster. And being proud of it just makes it worse. They are losers.

    I also live close to a few pubs and the behaviour of drunk patrons is disgusting.
    I have had the mirrors kicked off my car 7 times in 4 years even when turned in. I have had to get up in the middle of the night to remove a sleeping drunk from the bonnet of my car and had a drunk man p*** through my letterbox. Disgusting.
