Drinking....what is your reason?

I very rarely drink at home but am quite happy to sit by myself in a pub watching the world go by. I rarely drink to excess any more as my tolerance for hangovers has decreased in line with the increase in nasal and ear hair.

Same as me, 6 pints tops or I pay the price
 
Well it certainly doesn't make you an alcoholic does it, alcohol makes you an alcoholic not the environment you drink it in.

Exactly, Teed. Love having a can during the warmer weather, sitting by me self in the woods. Good day's graft and 3 miles into the bike ride home.

I'm sure some of the dog walkers and joggers are just thinking, ''What a sad-case''. I prefer this more often than sitting in a boozer.
 
I work with a lad who regularly comes in saying he's had 9-10 cans in the house the night before,i find this a bit sad like,that's like a session in the house,a couple of bottles of lager about 8-9 o clock (very rarely like) does me,helps you nod off when you do go to bed anarl.

They probably think your homeless & live in the woods

bit of an urban myth, alcohol reduces the quality of your sleep. one of me mates was telling me that he used to always have a couple of cans in the house, but has stopped & is now getting a much better nights sleep because of it.

Thanks for that,i'll put this on the Fallacies thread,it does help me nod off mind,the down side is i'm up pissing 3 times a night.
 
If I don't go out with some form of the lads, be it the matchday mob or the friday crowd, at least once a fortnight, I have a overwhelming fear that 'll be forgotten about. Although it's been 25 years now, i'm probably safe.

In all that time, I've been out and not drunk alcohol twice, and it was a nightmare both times. What a set of drunken arseholes they are.
 
Love going on piss with my mates or at footy.....The ones I really enjoy though are the ones I have after work, sat in my pad on me tod with a movie on....Get totally absorbed in the film with nee fucker to disturb me or get on my case...Those beers are f***ing class! :-D (or they were till I realised I was a totall piss head and jacked it in lol)
 
I drink to get pissed coz its great - not the next day like
 
I enjoy it, like the taste etc. I do go through phases where i can go weeks without fancying a drink, then other times when i'll go to the pub on me own with the paper for a few pints. I like the fact i don't seem to have any sort of reliance on alcohol.

Occasionally have a drink at home but it will only be a few bottles. Never understand folk who will happily sit at home and get shit-faced by themselves. First sign of a problem that.

I don't think it's a problem per se, but I don't see the point of it. When I go out, I want to be in the same zone as everyone else, so i'll drink whatever is required, depending on what time I'm heading out or staying out til, be it 5 or 15 pints. I'd never drink corresponding amounts in the house, as I don't see any end product. I don't have other drunks to communicate with, and it's just gonna give me a hangover for nowt. Couple of cans does me.
 
I suppose it depends on your viewpoint.
Me and the wife very rarely go out, more often than not we buy wine etc and watch some of a DVD box set or films and just switch off.
I only ever drink on my own if something is wrong that I don't want anyone to know about, even then it's not into the states I see people in when I'm on the way to work at 6.30 on a morning.
 
I just drink by myself and with the walker brothers,blackie and red.....

And the two or three cans a night in front of the box arent the problem,the problems comes when you find you cant just have a night in front of the box with a glass of pop or a coffee, but have to have the two or three cans
 
Nothing sad about that, he's just winding down!! different if he was falling about the place pissed, just goes to show how easily people are brain washed into thinking the way those that be wan't them to think!! they did it with smoking and they're working their way through drink now, now that is sad.

True :cry:
