There are no negative consequences to drinking whatsoever

Tell that to a parents or family member of someone who died due to them driving under the influence or because of a drunk driver that there are no negative consequences to heavy drinking.

While you're at it talk to someone who got beaten by their alcoholic fathers/mothers and tell them that there are no consequences to heavy drinking.

do these things and then get back to us
 
My problem is that all that is balderdash. It's true, but it's balderdash. I need to experience some negative consequences before my mind unconsciously decides that drinking on a regular basis is a'good idea'.

Some negative consequences of binge drinking:

* Alcohol Poisoning
* Death
*Drunkl threads on TrekBBS. A fate worse than death.

Aww, I love drunkl threads! Especially when they turn into a lovefest.
 
Alcohol turns your Liver into Fat.

However, Spirits/Liquers are empty calories (They are my prefered drinks.) Other mixes might contain A LOT of sugar, but, with all that said, I say it's best to line your stomach before drinking, however ;) an empty stomach rarely spews.
 
I have just come out of the most awesome weekend ever. My thirtieth birthday party ad the next day a cousin's wedding. Greek parties both, hundreds of people there.

I was hacked off and feeling sorry for myself for turning into an old man so I did the most logical thing I could do and drunk myself stupid. Not something that I do very often, since 'alcohol destroys brain cells' and all that stuff and more importantly booze tastes like urine.

In any event I had more to drink over the past two days than I had in the two years preceding.

And you know what - it was unreal :cool:

It was fkn AWESOME

I got loud, I got chatty, I had a dance, I got into a fight with one of my cousins and it didn't hurt, and everything just felt so warm and happy :cool: :cool: And you know what, the fat chicks at the wedding appeared more desireable. What gives???

Alcohol and by extension drugs must be awesome. No wonder they are illegal

The best part about the whole experience is that I could discern no negative consequences whatsoever. I woke up the next day fit and fighting and while my liver was sooking a bit I fixed it with a hearty breakfast.

I am not so attached to my neurons that I wouldn't sacrifice a few at the alter of physical exultation.

This is awsome, keep up the good work! Now you just need to try weed and mushrooms and you'll be good. I knew every one else ,but you were full of shit.:lol::cool:
 
My brother's way of drinking is that he only does it when he's done doing anything responsible for the day, which is usually pretty late.

My brother's way of drinking is anyplace, anytime, under any conditions, and to hell with people and the destruction he causes.
 
If only there were a way to ration drinks proportionately to people so that they'd get drunk but not too drunk if they wanted to.

A live indicator of your BA level... I'd be happy to stop drinking if I knew I could avoid a nasty hangover.

This post is hilarious, this sort of thinking can definitely lead to alcoholism, and people spend a lot of time, money and tears trying to get over that sort of thing...my wife is sober 24 years and almost died 3 times in the process. The effect of alchol is so prevelant, she still can barely go near areas of heavy drinking, and we usually avoid them.

RAMA
 
I understand why people would become alcoholics. It's easy to do something when the negative consequences are all theoretical.

Just when was thirty considered old?

When you're any age below thirty.

I remember feeling that way. It was a long time ago in a galaxy far away, but I remember feeling that way.
 
You're only as old as you feel. But syaing that in general I think more people dread the 0 birthdays. i.e. 30, 40 etc.. as you cease to be say a twenty something and move onto a thirty something
