-- Posted by outatime at 8:26 pm on Nov. 5, 2007 I hate drinking and parties and I am a social person.  In high school I had friends who did not drink as well.  Its not that I am opposed to drinking I just don't enjoy it.  What to do on the weekends when every thing to do in town requires money and it seems like everyone on the weekends are getting drunk.  Just because I have the opportunity to drink does not mean I will take it.  I just get bored and frustrated when my friends at college only want to drink on the weekends and party. -- Posted by Sparkle Me Pink at 8:27 pm on Nov. 5, 2007 Don't feel like you are alone. I don't drink either. People find it weird that I can have a good time without being totally wasted. I have never drank in my whole life and surprisingly, I actually want to wait until I can legally sit at a bar and order a drink. Being young and drinking for a good time is to me a waste of life and precious brain cells. -- Posted by jamestown at 7:37 pm on Nov. 6, 2007 Quote: from Outatime at 8:26 pm on Nov. 5, 2007 I hate drinking and parties and I am a social person.  In high school I had friends who did not drink as well.  Its not that I am opposed to drinking I just don't enjoy it.  What to do on the weekends when every thing to do in town requires money and it seems like everyone on the weekends are getting drunk.  Just because I have the opportunity to drink does not mean I will take it.  I just get bored and frustrated when my friends at college only want to drink on the weekends and party. dear god you need to live a little. seriously dude. it's fucking college. take a walk on the wildside and use your noggin and enjoy that shit? i mean i would enjoy having an excuse to do whatvever i want just because i drank. "Wait, we fucked? Opps, I was drunk." "Oh, i punched a hole in your wall? Opps I was drunk." "I got your mom's number? Opps, I was drunk." take advantage of your situation. -- Posted by gprime at 8:28 pm on Nov. 6, 2007 And yet, somehow that doesn't work. If the woman was drunk too, you could be facing some serious jail time for sexual assault or rape. Not to mention any responsibility you might have should she become pregnant from said act of intercourse. Punching a hole in a wall is destruction of private property. Most people would expect financial restitution, and if they didn't get it, they would turn to the police. And frankly, they should. The last one isn't even a real example, given the number of circumstances under which it could happen, and the importance of context. But, it seems worth mentioning that being drunk doesn't make people less irate regarding jackassery. Being drunk is not a get out of jail free card.  If anything, it is the opposite given the potentially elevated legal consequences. Now, I'm not opposed to drinking. I've done a fair bit of it myself. But you have to be responsible about it, and realize that you can and will be held at fault for any fuck-ups you make while plastered. -- Posted by outatime at 10:04 pm on Nov. 6, 2007 Quote: from jamestown at 7:37 pm on Nov. 6, 2007 Quote: from Outatime at 8:26 pm on Nov. 5, 2007 I hate drinking and parties and I am a social person.  In high school I had friends who did not drink as well.  Its not that I am opposed to drinking I just don't enjoy it.  What to do on the weekends when every thing to do in town requires money and it seems like everyone on the weekends are getting drunk.  Just because I have the opportunity to drink does not mean I will take it.  I just get bored and frustrated when my friends at college only want to drink on the weekends and party.   dear god you need to live a little. seriously dude. it's fucking college. take a walk on the wildside and use your noggin and enjoy that shit? i mean i would enjoy having an excuse to do whatvever i want just because i drank.

Ahem. I don't drink as much any more to be fair. I don't like myself when I'm drunk.
