Getting and Staying Sober. (1 Viewer)

Dude, shorts and beer contain the same active ingredient (alcohol). The recommended maximum weekly intake for a man is 21 units, which is around 10 pints. If you're drinking 5 pints 5 nights a week that's 50 units, which is more than twice the level the medical profession considers safe. You can say "Ah I'd say I'll be grand" all you like, but it sounds to me like you are fucking yourself up. You need to visit a doctor

drinkin shots is a lot worse for ya because its concentrated, even if u end up drinking the same ammount of alcohol. anyway theres worse things u could be doin and really 5 pints is fuck all, at weekends some people take x ammount of pills/coke/speed washed down with 2 bottles of buckfast and a load of beer/cider and thats only if theres nothing on . sounds to me like u r stressing. you need to visit a bar

I've been off the sauce since may.

I was never a big fan of the irish way of drinking with the lads stuck in the corner of a pub getting locked into buying rounds. In this scenario everyone watches what everyone is drinking as they're buying eachother drinks or watching round-dodgers.

If that's your regular mode of socialising you'll feel a lot less self conscious at gigs or at parties where people wander around.
I've always preferred parties to pubs as a drinker and non-drinker. You save a fortune and can dance to better music. The focus is not so much on sitting drinking in the corner. One of my bandmates didn't notice that I hadn't had a drink in 5 months. noone will be as conscious of yourself as you are.

Maybe try cutting down first. If that's too messy then just cut it out.

Some very good points there, but I've always been fond of both parties and pubs, it's clubs that I can only take very, very irregularly. There's really nothing to do there but get smashed, whereas I've had many a good conversation in a pub.

Sitting in the pub with my mates drinking ballygowan as they get pissed and realising we have been having the exact same conversation for the last 10 years sitting the same seats in the same pub - and talking absolute shite as well - is very depressing.

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name.
And their always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see, your troubles are all the same.
You wanna be where everybody knows your name.
You wanna go where people know, people are all the same.
You wanna go where everybody knows your name.

Naw. Really? That sucks.

I managed not to get smashed drunk tonight when I could have, and I feel much the better for it. I had two drinks and left it at that.

OOOOOOOOh, getting sarky are we. i wasnt saying go out and do it, i was sayin some people choose to, and making the point that just because someone likes a drink after work doesnt mean they need medical help. also, go to see a doctor with an alcohol problem and u will get fed prescription drugs such as librium.

i think the reason irish people drink so much is because ireland is fairly shit

dont know what ur worried about like u free staters cant drink anyway
