I'm 29 and have never been a big drinker. Even in school I disn't see the need to get hammered fri and sat. I will have 2 cans on the weekend in the nights and maybe a shandy occasionally through the week, but thats it and then the cans are 1 on sat and 1 on sun night. I will have a little drink tomorrow of some cheap sparkling wine with dinner and then a can in the evening, but that's it.
I like to have a good time and a laugh and remember it, and be well the next day to enjoy that day, plus I got money as well. People thought I was odd and strange cause I would rather save up to get an upgrade for my PC, than go out and blow it all on booze and have nothing to show for it. And I drive a lot so, don't want to loose my licence.
My cousin got hammered last Xmas on the 23rd Dec and M8's dumped him in a taxi for a 15 mile trip and cause he came around and was drink, abused the driver, so he dumped him 2 miles from his home in the city centre, then trying to get home drunk, he went up a steep banking and fell 50ft into a stream and died, his parents, esp is mother is in a state now a year on. And to make things worse, he was away for 2 weeks, and instead of seeing his GF and parents 1st, went out with the boys instead, not contacting no-one close to him.
Drink is not fun when you are hammered and don't know what you are doing.
