Preloading

[Dave Herbal]

Is this something you do? I know the kids seem to have taken it to extremes now and stay in the house drinking all night before going out for a couple of hours, but I’m taking about doing it before going out for your regular session.

If I’m going out for a couple of pints (eg to watch the match on a midweek night) then no as there’s no point. But if I’m going out for a session then there’s no way I’m going in “cold” so to speak, otherwise you’re wasting the time it takes to get into the groove. Much better to hit the ground running.

 

[Secret Visage]

Nope, never.

I might have a couple bottles while getting ready etc but happy enough to start the night cold. I’ve done my share of heavy sessions though 16-26, I cant be arsed these days. I peaked too early.

 

[BMX Bandit]

If away. I’ll have a couple in the hotel etc before heading out.

 

[Sam Handwich]

The thought has never crossed my mind in 45 years of turning out

 

[Mantobar]

Sonetimes have a can before going out with some tunes on

 

[Boz33]

Preloaded or pre half pissed

 

[Dave Herbal]

Preloaded or pre half pissed

Couple of shorts or some wine. Not pissed

How odd.

Why did you stop at 26?

 

[Roaring Chubby]

Isn’t this the wine in a fruit shoot bottle method Dave

May as well wait till you get to the pub, not sure there’s any point drinking in the house, although can see why skint kids don’t nowadays as the days of a quid for a treble are long gone

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Never ever done it. I doubt I ever will now.

 

[Bob Fleming]

Some nights when we were younger we couldn't really afford to out round the town all night. Not Friday and Saturday anyway. So we'd have cans in the house then just go straight to Ku. So nothing new.

These days I wouldn't call it pre loading. Just like a drink in the house while waiting to go out so will often have one or two.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

How odd.

Why is it odd to meet in the pub before you start drinking. Only ever had some before we go out if I have people staying but that would be just part of the day.

That’s when I realised I was a wreck from drink and drugs. I was never really one for a sociable couple pints - I was up and down the country going to all night raves. I’m glad I came to that realisation, because most the people I was knocking around with then are either total bums now or dead and I was heading the same way.

££££ is the only reason I can think of. Lasses getting ready together as well.

Only time I ever really used to so stuff like that was when I was a kid and heading off to the Mayfair.
We used to buy a half bottle of spirits and have a few swigs each on the upper deck of what is now the fab 56

for alkies and tightarses

 

[Sneech]

And this is why Dave turns up to the pub as a loud shouty moron while the rest of us are sober playing catch up till we are all loud shouty morons by the end of the night

Yeh can’t think of anything duller than sitting in the house getting smashed before going to a club or a pub or two. Half the fun is trawling round the pubs with ya mates

Yes the early buzz of the third pint when the world is nearly perfect and your mates are witty and the birds look lovely.
