Same for most people! You wake up the next morning and it's like ''did I really tell ______ about the time I ______?''.
I'll put my hands up and say that I need drink when I'm out, especially when it involves a dancefloor, or else I'm so self-conscious.
It's an awful way to be!

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I hate when that happens me though coz random people are probably like ''Oh, there goes another dramatic teenage girl!!'' I absolutly love my best friend though, he got it in one go what I was upset about.0 -

I want a friend like that! :P
The thing that annoys me most, is not 40 year olds who have the opinion of the drunken teenage girl, but those in their 20s. It's as if they were always so classy and never had a bad drinking experience.0 -

A lot of people don't even like what they drink when they do so. They just do it for the sake of it, and I've done it myself many times, but now that I do, it seems childish.
that's because way to many people just drink the mass produced mass advertised piss on sale on tap in most bars... try going to your local offie or even supermarket and pick up some of the german/polish/european in general beers... try out a few new beers and then try to drink a Bud or a Heineken or a Miller- you probably won't be able too
basically try any beer you've never seen an add for and the chances are it's better than the ones your drinking now (except Hackenberg - that's just god damn awful stuff ) they might be a wee bit more expensive for some of them but the alcohol content is usually a good bit higher so a 4 pack usually ends up hitting you like kinda like a 6 pack would...
for me there's nothing better than just chilling out on a nice day having a few good beers - i used to be one of those that didn't really like beers but once you realise the stuff you get in pubs is terrible you'll really start to appreciate a nice beer and start to enjoy drinking

And the 20-somethings that 'go out to ger trashed', dear lord they annoy me. Pretty sure I stopped doing that when I was 17 before the first year of college even ended :rolleyes: it makes me wonder, can they not stand each others company unless absolutley oblierated?
And people who claim to drink more than they do. Nobody cares what you drink!!!!0 -

Oh, I do. That's why I'm giving out about the way I used to be suddenly.
My favourites among beers I've recently tried are Brooklyn Lager and Kirin Ichiban. Great beers. I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to chill out with a cold one.
Oh, and don't knock all beers you get in pubs. Most big towns usually have one pub with different international beers. 0 -
Ok, I've went drinking once at this stage and I will be 17 in August. It was about a month ago to celebrate end of 4th year, with about half my year from school there, in a field. I told my Dad what was happening and the general area just to be safe side in case anything happen. Went to the field with 2 cans of Bulmers(felt it was enough for my first time) and was there for about 3 hours.
The first time you have alcohol in your system is a very weird feeling. I was glad I limited my intake to 2 cans as they were strong enough to have me flaming without being too messy.
All pictures of me from it look like this, with the big grin plastered across my face.
Although, I think there may be one picture that hasn't surfaced yet of my head in a girl's *ahem* chest and her hand... elsewhere. :pac:
So ya, I'm glad I waited until now to start. I feel that, for me, this is old enough that you can drink (semi)responsibly, but young enough that you aren't completely left out by your peer group. I'm happy I waited until now because I have had the opportunies to start younger.
Also, I tried some actual beer there as well, to get an idea of the taste for next time and it tastes like piss. I don't know why people drink it. I'm be staying on cider for a while yet.0 -

Limerick is awful for it In my defence, Iwent out before I was 18 but I WAS in college. An 18 y/o fresher is far more mature than an 18y/o 6th year IMO. 0 -

I went out for the first time when I was 17, New Years of 5th year. Once you're in 5th year you're past the immaturity of TY and your starting to mature properly. I think going out in 5th year is grand but TY or younger it's like get back to your teenage disco.0 -

I was 15 for most of 5th year
it is when we started going knacker drinking though! 0 -

I'm knocking the sterotypical pub that gets the huge crowds every weekend that serve pints of piss for €5 :mad: - that could get me 2 bottles of some really good quality stuff in the local supermarket... I know there's some great pubs around.. unfortunately none around where I live..
but when you do find a pub that has a good selection of beers it really is a good feeling :cool: also love if it's quiet and you get to have a chat with the barman who knows a bit to see have they any recommendations...
so much better than going out to a packed bar and just ordering a pint of Heineken because you can point at the tap because it's too loud to try to ask for something different... and then having to be battered round the place as you try to get back to your seat while listening to some crappy dance music...
really don't like the "going out" craic at all anymore... and can't see why I ever liked it either tbh

You poor thing! That's so young!
I never went knacker drinking, just wasn't something I was in to and not many of my friends were either!0 -

As well as the Heineken/Budweiser/Coors Light that I tried, there were a few people drinking odd/cheap brands. Karpacki is horrible stuff altogether. Whiel the others left a horrible taste, it almost caused me to retch. A load were drinking it because it was 4 cans for €5. *shudders*Deleted User wrote: »That used to be me. See johnmcdnl's post. Most of the mainstream beers taste quite bad.
Mainly it's an acquired taste though, whereas cider is familiar enough.0 -

Either do I. I'd like to think of myself as quite sociable and I enjoy having a drink but I hate the whole going out scene. There's no comfort in it and I end up drinking to get confidence and it usually leaves me feeling shít. I'd be much more comfortable going to a movie or having the girls round for a few drinks and a chat. Unfortunately my friends (don't get me wrong I love them to bits) don't feel the same way!SarahBeep! wrote: »We were classy though, we didn't do it in a field/estate. We did it under a bridge where it was warm and dry. Like trolls!

I seem to get 'classier' as i age. (Only 23 though,yet still havent learnt the concept of when too much is too much)
Had a work do last weekend, had a fair amount of shots (8 in one hour, clever) and ended up passing out in the smoking area. Got carried to a taxi. Puked in the taxi, expensive night. And cuts all over legs from where i fell multiple times.
Mortified.
Never want a repeat of that. I'd would have expected this a few years ago, but i get awful silly when i'm in full swing.
Tbh i have a love/hate relationship with alcohol. Used to find it relaxed me, but now it doesnt seem to agree with me, next day i'm almost suicidal in my mood. And it can make me irritable as a drunk.
I can drink in moderation, but sometimes i over step the mark and this crap happens 0 -
