why is drinking so good

completedit

I'm late 20's and there's still nothing better than getting locked. I only drink once every 6 weeks or so but it's unreal, especially over christmas and in the summer.

Not allowed any more, if you even smell beer you're a raging alcoholic and will destroy the lives of everyone in the country.

Have you considered cycling and kale?

I drink 2 litres of water when I get home after drinking. Dont get hangovers, its horrible force feeding yourself water when you get home and feeling like youre about to burst but its worth it

Have to say I like the effects of alcohol but just the merry phase, you know when you have that slight sense of euphoria but not drunk enough to do or say anything stupid.
Great way to unwind at the end of the working week. Cheers!

spot on! a lucozade sport before you hit the scratcher is great. If you can have one or two waters between drinks too it helps a lot, too.

It's all about prevention rather than cure. no real need to be hungover after a fair few pints.

I’m your thirties you will probably wonder why you didn’t do more to achieve your dreams. It’s a bit of a fools paradise the drinking. I say that as somebody who drank through their 20’s also.

Give it time OP. The human body is not like a good wine , the older it gets the better it gets. A sniff of a beer and ive a hangover for days. I suppose Enjoy it while it lasts.

I fully ageee I absolutely love the stuff and love getting locked but You don’t love it enough if you are doing it every 6 weeks. I need a good session at least once a week!

Lucky you. I am working on the 26th so I can't enjoy a few drinks over Christmas!

BUT! I do get a full week off through New Year's. So there's that.

Too regular as for me the novelty wears off if you do it once a week. I like a good session once a month.

i heard it described beauifully once.

Drinking allows you to borrow happiness from tomorrow

Assetbacked

1. Getting drunk: or

2. Big feed and sex.

The two options for a Friday night, noting that opting for 1. will lead to losing 2.

2. is the winner these days.

Eh not really tbh. Doing drugs doesn't really have the same social aspect that having drinks does.

Spring and autumn aren't without their charms either bub. Trust me, we all know. The 'only once every six weeks or so' perplexes me. She's a cruel mistress, the gargle. You can really only truly appreciate the highs once you've tangled the lows, which kinda nullifies your opening gambit. I wholeheartedly agree with the first sentence mind, I'm a decade older than yourself so you've a good bit of revelry left in you. With all that being said, cheers. It's Powers single barrel for me tonight.

Potential-Monke

Done quite the bit of drinking in my late teens and all the 20s. Not that fond of it anymore. Haven't had a drink in about 8 months. Don't know if i'm better for it, but I certainly don't miss the hangovers. Plus, my stomach seems to have shrunk so I can't drink anything more than a few pints and I'm busting. Used to have to make myself sick to make room.

Now, much prefer a smoke. No hangovers, no acting the fool, just enjoying me time.

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts

My alcohol consumption steadily decreased once I left college and I barely drink now at all in my mid 30s because I find the depression that accompanies my hangovers *really* hard to deal with AND I’m a complete spa when I’m drunk. Like, really annoying. I just felt it was a bit undignified and something that I could only get away with in my late teens and early to mid twenties. My folks are teatotallers and my extended family aren’t really boozers (many teatotallers and light drinkers) apart from one alcoholic uncle and I think my upbringing has influenced my drinking habits too. We never had drink-soaked family gatherings. It was all tea and coffee and the odd sherry or brandy.

I don’t miss boozing much at all, to be honest. And I love having a clear head all the time. And the fact that I eat much less junk food because of not drinking is a great thing too.

I think you can sum it up with how drink can make a relatively unattractive girl look like Ariana Grande.

Don't over think it.

If you feel like a drink have a drink.

If you don't feel like a drink don't have a drink.

I know people who do that and they say it prevents hangovers but it clearly doesn’t. They’re still knackered the next day (which is part of a hangover no matter what anyone says), completely listless, blearly-eyed and surrounded by junk food. They’re hungover. Nothing can fully prevent one if you drink a hape.

Sunny Disposition

Drinking moderately, say 3-4 pints once a week or so, is hugely underrated, whereas binge drinking, say 6+ pints in one night is massively overrated, because people usually forget the come down.

I wouldn't agree that there is nothing better than getting locked, a good ride would be better would it not?

no hangover the next day either.

If I dont drink the water I have a pounding headache all day. So the water does stop a hangover. Im tired and bleary eyed the next day regardless because I was out til 4am talking and dancing

Water makes a huge difference, most of the hangover symptoms are down to dehydration. Though it’s best to mix the water with the beer I think, rather than having it at the end.
