tbh it’s pretty creepy to pretend to be a taxi for the sole purpose of pulling some drunk young one.

I've pulled a fair few times with this tactic meself. Once or twice I wasn't even out meself just out in the car late at night. Young ones sticking the hand out thinking yer a taxi. Once they're in the car then I turn on the charm and before you know it you're balls deep in some randy young one.

Are you joking? Smoking is even worse for you, drinking moderately every so often doesnt have a very negative impact on health

I considered giving up the drink last month. I was slapped with an 'adult caution' by the Guards because I was found asleep on the side of a main road, with vomit in my beard apparently. I know this because I remember one of them saying, 'Jesus he's got sick in his beard'.

I don't remember much all else apart from that. I woke up in a cell in Swords and thought, 'This probably has to stop', but it didn't. I'm still mulling it, the quitting booze thing. I'm not an alcoholic but I do like getting pissed. I don't like getting that pissed, but finding the discipline to stop drinking, when you're already quite drunk, is the tough bit.

I think when you’re waking up in a cell having gone to sleep on the side of a main road you may need to consider your drinking problematic. Being an alcoholic is not drinking all day everyday but expressing a desire to get drunk and actually enjoying that isn’t really healthy.

I do the opposite to most people i do have a few drinks at home and i don't drink when i am out. Love sampling craft beers good wines and nice gins in the comfort of my own house and when i am out Love to be able to sit in to my car and get home when i want in a bit of comfort.

Being an alcoholic means it negatively impacts your life outside of drinking hours and your drinking is making yourself or others unhappy. Theres nothing wrong with loving getting drunk, I LOVE getting drunk, I love the release, I get really excited to drink when the opportunity arises , I drink heavy every 3-4 weeks for one night and immensely enjoy it, I have great memories of the party/event after, and it doesnt affect my life negatively in any way outside that and I have no urge to drink by myself, so its different for everyone

Waking up on a roadside is probably not safe or smart behaviour, he may not have a problem with alcoholism but it sounds like he has a problem with how he acts when he does drink, it doesnt mean hes addicted, its just a different type of problem related to alcohol

Vorsprung Durch Technik

A German guy approaches a prostitute.
"I vish to buy zex vit you"
"OK" says the girl, "I'll charge £50 an hour".
"Ist goot, but I must varn you, I am a little kinky".
"No problem", she replies cautiously, "I can do a little kinky". So off they go to the girls flat, where the German produces four large bedsprings and a duck caller. "I vant you to tie ze springs to each of your limbs". The girl finds this most odd, but complies, fastening the springs to her hands and knees.
"Now you vil get on your hans und knees".
She duly does this, balancing on the springs.
"You vill please blow Zis vistle as I make love to you."
She finds this odd, but figures its harmless, and the guy is paying. The sex is fantastic. She is bounced all over the room by the energetic German, all the time honking on the duckcaller. The climax is the most sensational that she has ever experienced, and it is several minutes before she has recovered the breath to say:

"Ah", says the German, "Four-sprung duck technique!"

I give you waking up in a cell is a bit extreme.

But enjoying being drunk is hardly unhealthy per se.

The only point in consuming any drug is to feel it's effects, if you don't want the effect then just don't take the damn drug in the first place. Everything else is just a matter of scale!

The ideal is to not eliminate it completely but rather to reduce consumption to the point that having one or two pints or glasses of wine is sufficient to feel the subjective effect of the booze. It's difficult but possible. Like quitting caffeine after daily intake and two weeks later getting completely buzzed from a single cup of strong coffee one morning.

Remember when you first drank? I remember having my first two pints of Budweiser 20 years ago and while thinking it tasted not so much vile it was certainly not pleasant. It was irrelevant as it was merely the mechanism to deliver the drug.

The euphoric effect of it was and remains the big draw. Relaxed, at peace, contented, confident and satisfied. There was no need to skull 6 or 7 pints to be social or fit in. Over time we develop the resistance, the tolerance and in order to feel the same way requires more and more and more. Therein lies the seeds for ill-health i.e. needing more to feel the same we felt to begin with.

As with the caffeine, I would look to cut down significantly to regain that elusive intolerance. Whenever the opportunity comes up to have a couple of drinks, take it, enjoy it as only one or two will do and you will feel that while you are not denying yourself, you have regained some semblance of control.

Not everyone who enjoys getting drunk is an alcoholic. I'm not addicted or dependent on alcohol in any way. I used to be a lot heavier, so sometimes I over-estimate my tolerance and end up in a bad way but it's never a purposeful, drink-to-forget kind of thing.

Difficult applying the brakes after a clatter of pints, better to nip it in the bud altogether if a pattern emerges.
