    Teddy Teddy Teddy, what are ya like. Seriously I don't think you're an alcoholic but you just need to calm the alcohol injected jets. And what sort of friends let you drink yourself silly anyway and whatever happened to bros before hos too. *Shakes head*
    I'm not the best looking though so I have to take what I can get.
    Don't sell yourself short Teddy. Slow the pace a bit though.

    Why do people always pretend they drink more than 10 pints. There no way a human body could be hold all the liquid.

    You take plenty of piss breaks but loads of people have more than 10 pints in one sitting. Its all down to tolerance levels its nothing to do with been a hard man or anything. When I drink at weekends I drink an upwards of 10 pints on a night, its bad binging I know, but I enjoy it.

    Well you live & learn. This bugged me.

    Ted, your only 25. Don't worry about the drinking thing. Your tolerance to it will get better with age.

    **** happens Teddy. The worst thing you can do is try to tag yourself with some nonsense catch-all like "alcoholic" because of your guilt for screwing up a bit on the social scene.
    A real alco would laugh at your 7 pints in fairness. If anything you were a bit of a tit while inebriated. We've all been there. I've maybe done worse things myself.

    If your nights out are regularly like this, then maybe look at cutting back a bit.

    If not, don't worry too much, we all get quite drunk now and then.
    You probably still have a touch of the fear: wait and see how you feel about last night in a few days.

    Are you under the illusion that by drinking water you will somehow sober up in between pints of beer? :D

    The liver doesnt work like that,all the pub has at that stage with you is,a drunk who cant stop pissing while not spending any money.

    Just don't drink as much, OP. You're responsible for your behaviour no matter what. 4 months ago I ended up pissing, puking and crapping simultaneously. That was too much.

    I agree there are people who think they're mad and lie about how much they drink, but I'm surprised you don't think anyone can drink more than 10 pints :confused: Maybe you're just lucky not to surround yourself with binge drinkers and alcoholics :pac:

    I'm female and I've had more than 10 pints on nights out before so I expect a lot of men could also. It all depends on your own tolerance to alcohol - it varies from person to person.

    Teddy, there's a simple question to ask yourself: are you in control of the alcohol, or is it in control of you?

    And I'm talking on an ongoing basis here: we all overdo things once in a blue moon.

    If the latter, you need to cut back at least; you may need to seek help if that isn't working.

    I enjoy a couple of pints as much as the next person, but we can glorify alcohol in this country and equate it to being the "hard man", and overdo it until we suddenly realise, often too late, that we're not living our own lives, alcohol is living them for us.

    Try stopping for a few months. If you can stop for 3 months and be happy while not drinking than you might not have a problem.
    But its not how much you drink, its how it affects you.

    Dude, I kinda like ya, cos your posts are usually funny, so I feel the need to reach out the hand of help (am on the fone here so can't do smilies - but I want to do the one with the BIG grin).

    Anyway, I dunno if your post is a joke or kinda true? My friend Colm, he's in AA and he would tell ya that if yer drinking is causing you bother, well then, you need to take a good think about it.

    So says Colm. And he's a good dude too. AA might not be so bad. It'll get you outta the house if anything!

    Old Chinese proverb...... " First the man takes the drink then the drink takes the man " hmmmmm, no prizes for guessing where I read that.
    Alcoholism is a killer disease, and certainly not one to be mocked, in my opinion OP if your worried then just ease off for a while and see how you go but don't go punishing yourself with guilt over what you did while you were on the drink or that'll just drive you straight back to it, we've all made dicks of ourselves while drunk, don't beat yourself up over it.

    Have about seven and a half beers last night and was completely smashed.
    Don't remember a bloody thing to be honest but half my friends are no longer talking to me. Think I may have tried it on with his bird or something. He sent me a text saying "you're a compete and utter tit, wb". The other guy doesn't have time for me at the best of times either.
    I spent about 50 quid too. The worst thing is I know I'll do it all over again on the 17th of May.
    I wish I could give this **** up for life.
    It seems to get worse every time now too.
    People say it keeps getting worse with age too and I'm already 25.
    How can you give up this crap for once and for all?

    Being serious about this for a mo.

    You don't have to be an Alcoholic to have a problem with drink.

    If your mood/mind is in the wrong place, drinking can amplify problems you have/think you have.

    It can happen very publicly. At best, it's embarrasing, at worst, it can cause you to doubt your own sanity & therefore yourself.

    Eitherway, not good.

    OP, try to work out the reasons you behave the way you do when you have a few pints on board.

    Some people blame Drink for their problems,but the reasons for a 'drink' problem is often more than the quantity of intake.

    Teddy you need a moment of clarity. The only problem with moments of clarity is that they might happen next week or they might happen thirty years from now when your liver is f*cked and your brain is made of spaghetti.

    Address the problems which make you want to drink so much Teddy.

    Who spends 50 quid on drink on a night out? 10 quid will get you 6 cans and that should be plenty. I've never seen anyone drink any more than this and not become a drunk mess.

    I was at a 50th on Saturday and everybody there had at least that amount, but probably double it, and I only counted one drunk mess out of a hundred.
    It very easy to spend more than €50 if you drink shot/mixer combos, or wine, or tasty beer.
    6 cans is plenty to loosen up, or be tipsy, but you'll need more (or I would) to keep that balance.

    The attitude we have to drink really pisses me off.

    theres your problem, you cant get cans on a night 'out' unless you're knacker drinking!

    I was out last night and saw a damn drunk mess. I love a drink as much as the next and had more than 7 drinks over the course of the night and was still pretty ok going home.
    But there was a girl in the pub(looked to be mid twenties), and she was ossified. She looked like a tourist(had an obligatory backpack in Dublin on Saturday night,dead give-away) but appeared to be on her own:confused:
    From the time we got into the pub about ten, she was plastered. she seemed to have hooked up with a guy from the pub during the night and he was just as pissed. Now when I say they were pissed, I mean rat-arsed. They fell several times, knocked over tables, spilled other peoples drink etc. She must have black and blue this morning from the falls she took.
    But even after a couple of hours that we were there she still drank pint after pint.
    That's pretty bad

    Well even in the pub/restaurant you can easily keep the alcohol costs below €50 if your'e not skulling back drinks.

    It was 10.20euro for 2 bottles last night, do the math:D:D:D:D
