Can you drink alcohol in moderation? - GoFuckYourself.com

Furious_Male · 08-21-2005, 09:55 AM

Personally I can rarely have just one or two drinks at a party or get together. I only drink once a week (Friday or Saturday) but when I do I end up drinking like a fish and get loaded.

I am curious how I could get myself to just have a "couple". How do you moderate drinkers do it?

PMGames · 08-21-2005, 09:57 AM

Drive all of your friends to the party and become the designated driver....If you are responsible...that trick will work 100% of the time. lol.

fuzebox · 08-21-2005, 10:02 AM

I have 3-6 drinks every night when just hanging around at home.

Furious_Female · 08-21-2005, 10:06 AM

I don't drink casually... I drink to get drunk.

I don't even like the smell or taste

and I'm not sure how people drink it with a meal or whatever. Yucky! lol

Furious_Female · 08-21-2005, 10:08 AM

I don't even drink that often because when I do, I go on a binge for about a week a year then nothing for months and months. I'm a rogue lush

MikeVega · 08-21-2005, 10:08 AM

really I've only been able to drink in moderation for the past year ... last year at the Vegas show ..i didn't think i would make it home .. one more day of no sleep and drinking would have killed me .. i learned a lesson ... know i find myself drinking but i slow down toward the end of the night and i drink some water between drinks ... i have no hangover the next day and i get more done at the shows ... everything is better in moderation ...

Yes moderation is the key. Thats just something I will have to work on. Its a pain in the ass getting trashed and wasting the next day. I hang over real easy.

FF- I know you are a lush. haha

Tim is the opposite .. when he starts there is no stopping him .. he's a fun drunk as some have seen in the vids Newbreed posted from the last show ..lol so it's not that bad ... and the fucking guy is never hung over ... I guess it works for him .. i can't hang that way ..

Doctor Dre · 08-21-2005, 10:50 AM

I often don't drink when I go out . I can have fun with my bottle of water ;)

MandyBlake · 08-21-2005, 10:54 AM

So I am an alcoholic. thanks

Peaches · 08-21-2005, 11:15 AM

I always drink in moderation. I can count on one hand the times I've gotten drunk in the past 15-20 years, and two of those times were recently due to personal events.

HorseShit · 08-21-2005, 11:25 AM

i drink to get wasted then chat on irc

khs · 08-21-2005, 12:07 PM

no, what would be the point

Tom_PM · 08-21-2005, 12:09 PM

How do you do it? You just dont have too many drinks

Seriously.

Elli · 08-21-2005, 12:28 PM

I'm usually DD, but when I'm not, I have a few. I only get absolutely smashed a couple times a year, like on my birthday and New Year's. The whole spinning room and upset stomach and feeling vulnerable aspects really don't appeal to me. I do love a good glass of wine with dinner, though, or a cider with friends at a bbq is fine by me. I just don't like the drunk feeling, but I do like the light buzz feeling.

alexg · 08-21-2005, 12:37 PM

sure i can
without a problem

i also love beer and i can have only 1 for example just for the pleasure of drinking it...

You're not mixing the right drinks then

When I mix a rum and coke just right using my favorite rum, diet coke, the right ratio (decently strong), and a touch of lime, it's a damn good drink... I swish it around in my mouth and it tastes good. Same thing goes for a quality beer, you take a sip and go "damn, that's a good beer".

That being said, given enough time I will just keep drinking and drinking and drinking and get trashed without meaning to, even when drinking casually.

zvik · 08-21-2005, 12:37 PM

it's like asking...do you inhale when smoking a joint.

i drink till i can't walk...it's more fun that way

StuartD · 08-21-2005, 12:56 PM

the most I ever have is 3 drinks in a night... usually not that much if at all.

PixeLs · 08-21-2005, 10:46 PM

I always know how to drink in moderation. Especially when it's alcohol.

WiredGuy · 08-21-2005, 10:50 PM

I usually drink quite a bit at shows, but when I just go out on weekends, I rarely get drunk. The way I usually do it is to force myself by driving. If I'm driving, I can't drink more than 2-3 per night. And most people will not encourage you to drink more if they know you're driving so its an easy way to avoid peer pressure from friends that want you to get loaded. My 2c at least...

EviLGuY · 08-21-2005, 10:57 PM

I'm not a big drinker these days. I can easily have just 1-2 beers in an evening.

I was borderline alcoholic up until I was about 19-20 though.

woj · 08-21-2005, 11:01 PM

I could drink 1 or 2, but why, if drinking more is more fun?

je_rome · 08-22-2005, 02:41 AM

maybe you can video yourself while under the heavy influence of alcholo and then watch it. you will have a clear reminder of what happens if you go beyond your limit.

unocash · 08-22-2005, 02:51 AM

i always say i am going to start off with a few.. but by the end of the night i am usually plowed.

fuzebawks!!!! noooooo! I do it purposely... I drink it straight and fast to get drunk faster and not have to drink a whole lot

penzo · 08-22-2005, 09:20 AM

I can drink just couple of drinks...probably because I'm always driving

nofx · 08-22-2005, 09:21 AM

i'm an alcoholic

08-22-2005, 09:28 AM

try not to drink at all .. i tried that the last two times and it has been great

Odie · 08-22-2005, 10:16 AM

I used to drink so much that my back would ached the next day. I have since stopped and drink a couple glasses of red wine at dinner and now tall vodka/soda's. No more martini's or shots

Sosa · 08-22-2005, 10:39 AM

i can have a few drinks no problem.

Platinum Red · 08-22-2005, 10:43 AM

I am 9 times out of 10 the driver for the night so I will only have one or two depending on the time

jscott · 08-22-2005, 12:04 PM
