Do you like pre-drinking before nights out?

SideWinder · 9 May 2008 at 18:31

I'm weird in the sense i don't like pre-drinking before 'events' at University or clubbing etc.

I'm sat in my room right now browsing/gaming whilst drinking ready to go out at around 10pm or so to a University event. I'm not a huge fan of pre-drinking as i feel as though i need to get in the right frame of mind and can only do that with music and generally relaxing, almost like a ritual?

What do you think about the topic? Do you even pre-drink?

1 can of Strongbow Super gone, 7 remaining...

EDIT: I MEANT PRE-DRINKING IN GROUPS, IE FRIENDS, sorry!

You're not a fan of drinking before going out, but you have 7 tins of Strongbow Super?

Yes, every night out usually consists of a few drinks and messing about on someone's 360. I'd rather just get picked up at 9.30 or whatever, go straight into town and do it from there.

You say you don't like pre-drinking yet your doing it. Am I missing something?

Yes, drink in town is far too expensive.

I pre-drink but then pretty much only have a couple while I'm out. Im usually tipsy when I get there and stay that way for most the night.

It also means I can sober up faster, and considering I find it ...erm...hard to 'get it up' when I'm wasted....

It works for me.

Agreed.

I can slowly drink 1/3 or a 10£ jack daniels and I only need a pint of sommat while im out.

Cheap.

Drinking is good in general...

Yep get plastered before you go out the just keep yourself topped up. Much easier.

I don't drink 99% of the time, but if I am going out on the pop then a few shots of Vodkas or Whisky before setting off certainly help grease the wheels.

Yes, yes I do.

Strongbow super! Get some special brew and mix them to form snakebite super. Tramp in a can.

Iamzod · 9 May 2008 at 18:38

I pre-drink.

I'll be off down the shop shortly for a nice bottle of white wine, i'll probably save a good £30 as i wont drink anywhere near as much whilst out.

Edited opening post, missed out the most important point!

Riiya · 9 May 2008 at 18:41

I have no friends :O

Lopéz · 9 May 2008 at 18:44

It's very rare I go out on a "large one" these days, but when I do, yeah I like to have a few cans with the others before leaving.

Hedge · 9 May 2008 at 18:45

few beers / doubles are good before leaving, however 8 cans is going to get you beat up lol

Dark_Injection · 9 May 2008 at 18:48

Always pre drink on a big night.

Prat around with the flat and have a laugh, then go out and repeat!

Kol · 9 May 2008 at 18:49

Don't pre drink often. The last few weeks when I've been out I've not bothered. I did, however, on Wednesday as we had a BBQ then went into town. Only had two or three in town then switched to coke.

Pre-drinking tends to lead to very messy nights out.
