Once I understood where my limits are (the day after my 21st birthday), I have never felt any desire to drink to the extent that I'm hung over the next morning. I mean, I'll happily get smashed with friends occasionally, but even then I drink until I'm drunk and happy, and then I stop drinking until either my buzz fades or it's time to go home. I don't really understand what drives people to keep drinking until they can't anymore. Maybe that's a good thing.
- hug 9y agoGood for you. This is, to be honest, the best way to enjoy alcohol. It gives you the social-glue that you need to network, it gives you the social-relaxant that might deepen your interpersonal relationships, and it gives you all the fun and enjoyment you can get from drinking a good drink. What you're missing by the way, with regards to your drinking, is a complete and utter disregard for consequences. Do you think, while I'm getting drunk, that I don't know what might happen? What I might say to people I love and what I might reveal that I wish I hadn't? Of course I know. I know and I don't care, or alternatively I know and I care and I want the truth to come out instead of burning a hole in the pit of my stomach, because what I want to put out there doesn't fit with the neat little jigsaw puzzle picture of society I have in my head. Maybe it's right and maybe it's wrong, but it's me.
