Alcohol at Gigs - Do you Go Overboard Or Do You Bother With It At All!!!

It depends on the gig really, and how much money I'm willing to spend that day.

Then again, I was rather merry at the last gig I was at and I remember every second of it. It probably also helped to stave off the moshing-related neck pain too.

I'll have one or two pints max at a gig. It's a waste if you're plastered.

The last time I was at a gig we won't speak of, I must've had around 10 Bacardi and coke/cranberrys at the Bacardi tent. But I may as well have been drinking water.. non effecto. Maybe they were actually serving us water and coke/cranberry

Was there too and the Bacardi's had no effect on me whatsoever also. Was truly disappointed. Great weekend though

But generally, I'm pretty much drunk at gigs, or wherever there's drink around :P.
I still can enjoy the gigs and remember them.

I'm usually pretty pissed at gigs. I saw The Sex Pistols recently for the first time and my memory of the gig is hazy to say the least. Spent most of the day drinking prior to the gig - big mistake. Never again, well, at least not untill Motorhead.

A couple of pints but that's about it. I want to be able to enjoy and remember the gig. If I wanted to get wasted I could have put the money I paid for my overpriced ticket to better use in my local off licence.

I never drink at gigs i just don't see the point i'd rather enjoy the music and maybe if on to pub after maybe but seeing as i am always the one driving i don't!

i usually try to get a pint i me before the gig.. dont have much chance to drink during the gig.. maybe one pint if i'm lucky enough to get someone to go to the bar and enough time between songs to have a drink of said pint...

have seen too many people getting paralytic at gig's.. its rather pathetic..

Don't drink and never have. I've never been to a 'gig' either.

Yet I felt compelled to post.

Only ever drank at one gig (Ian Brown). Other than that I have no interest. I'm there for the music.

I'd have a few at festivals alright but usually early on in the day and as by the end I'm normally in the pit and don't wanna risk losing my spot by leaving for the sake of a beer.
