People that can't hold their drink

100000% Agree.
My friends can wind me up at times, doesn't help I hold my alcohol quite well either, so we'd be at the level of drinks, but they're flailing/dancing/being annoying, and I'm just sat there.

Drink pints of Martini's to their pints of lager. That should help you keep pace.
 
The thing that gets my goat is that they are proud of it.......I have had my share of benders, its a requirement in the Royals, but I never went home except under my own power and any fights that may of occurred (squaddies being what they are) were not instigated by me and were quickly sorted out without too much bloodshed, certainly not enough for an ambulance, although when I was young there were times when I definitely drank far too much and did some stupid stuff I am not proud of.

There is a difference between being plastered after a good session and being completely wasted and out of control, but I expect most people have been wasted at some point, it is a matter of whether you learn from it and don't see it as kind of badge of honour.
 
Getting drunk is part and parcel of a good night out with your friends, but it's merely an added benefit.

Most people these days seem to have forgotten the social aspect of this, and put the focus on getting drunk, so going out is now about getting hammered until you fall down and sick up a lung.

I've always been able to handle my alcohol but I rarely drink these days, so when I do go out I want to have a laugh, not watch girls slumped on pavements with their dress around their neck while her boyfriend fights any males within a 50 mile radius.

I'm with you 100% on this. My friend is a copper, community first responder and some of the stories he's told me :eek:

These same people who claim they 'cannot afford' it still managed to get absolutely battered in a nightclub on a Saturday night though....

True.

There was one guy who got turfed out of a club for harassing women. He refused to leave the area even when given a S27 direction to leave, I talked with him for ages to get him just to go home. Ended up getting arrested. He calmed down and we agreed that if he just went home, we'd dearrest him and even drive him home.

He was so drunk that he freaked out in the back of the van and ended up punching me in the face almost breaking my nose. All I wanted was him to go home. He didn't remember anything when he woke up in the cells the next morning. He was kept in the cells for 2 days as he was remanded until court on Monday. All because he didn't know when to stop drinking.

See, now jumping into a river sounds fun! Drunk or not. Mind you, I'd be surprised if you can't get out....

Just to confirm, you'd support a total ban on alcohol? Prohibition?

Why not?

Are you really telling me that if they wanted, they couldn't replicate the same taste non-alcoholic?

If you're drinking it not for the taste, why are you drinking it...

Ok, to be fair, I can understand the occasional alcohol induced drink your problems away.

Burnsy, it's not too bad in some areas of soton.
I don't think it's the students that cause most of the problems tbh. There is literally no police presence in portswood on weekday nights.
I have been in Bedford place on a saturday night and it was awful. I try and stay away from there now on weekend nights as it seems like all the white **** roll in and want to start fights.

I always turn into a vom merchant but I get myself home unassisted and I dont turn violent.

Just a giggling, soulful, swaying vomming teddy bear who loves getting blatted every now and again.

I also dont lose control of my reasoning so dont act like an ass when I am drunk
