How often do you drink/get drunk??

[pinballwizard79]

Booze, drugs, women, cigars, alf, vice city, arcades....all that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is bad for you & its better to pray sober.

I mean look @ this miserable unhappy guy living in pain:

Silas that was an excellent post.  

+1 I think I'm going to put "Fan of Silas" in my sig.  The man does good posts.

I also brewed my own beer once, it was really good actually.

Me too! great 'hobby'  really taught me to appreciate interesting beers not just the sterile cold filtered stuff that passes for it these days.  Well, it was a good hobby till I got impatient waiting for my brews to sit and age, I even slurped the wort direct from the fermenter a few times - warm an yeasty!  

back on topic...I think if you regularly feel like you need a drink (and can't go without)then you might want to seriously think it through as Silas said.

What's your definition of drunk?  Passed out, tossing cookies, buzzing, or the Blood Alcohol level of .10 or .08?

Technically, for my weight, I'm legally drunk in my local if I have three shots and two beers within two hours.

Let me ask this, if your drinking isnt causing any problems, (late for work, changes in social behavior, changes in hygiene, etc), even if it's a 12 pack a day then do you have a drinking "problem"?  Also, if it does, then how does it differ from people with Nicotine "Problems" and Lottery "Problems"?

Liver damage vs. lung damage vs. checkbook damage.

Exactly, all of those are, for the most part, victim-less (unless you count yourself as a victim in which case you may need to talk to somebody).  Why be so judgmental? 

I thought my response was pretty funny. I'm not judging anyone here.

wasnt saying you were judgemental, but as a whole, if i want to get drunk and piss myself and have no friends and smell bad why do you (the general public) care?

Jesus, I watched that entire video from beginning to end...

It took 13 minutes of a Mahler symphony to wash the taste out of my brain.

Don't forget about the friends and family who have to endure through the pain of watching the loved-one die in that fashion.

thats why i added in the for the most part...  people can drink regularly and not die from liver failure...  thats like saying people that play games too much may die from epilepsy and the families will have to suffer because they will die in that fashion

or people who ride go karts too much may die from exhaust fumes and the families will suffer from them dying in that fashion

you can go your life and have no fun and be boring and your family will suffer from seeing you die in that fashion

Yeah, second hand smoke is great for people to breathe.  No victims there....   

...why not leave the area?  if its your job like a bartender and it bathers you then you should find another job...

im sick of people that complain about smokers at bars...you work at a bar for gods sake, why not try working in a coal mine and see how far you get then

If you have to ask it is because you already know.  That's really all there is to this question.

pinballwizard79- wherever you live we obviously need to hang out.   

You know what really sucks?  The fact that you can't drink at work

[Mikezilla]

In CA you can have one drink on your lunch break.

That just depends where you work.  At my current job, it's not uncommon for people to have a few drinks during the day.  Hell, we even have a liquor cabinet in the kitchen.

I guess I could in my particular position, no one would care/notice.  But something tells me it just isn't right.

'sides, I'd rather vend an ice cold Kingfisher from my Pepsi machine after a hard day.  Kinda feels like I earned it, y'know?
