LOL!! I've said that before.....many times!

Live and learn, I guess. Most of us have had embarrassing drunken moments. I wish you luck on giving up drinking, if that's what you choose to do.

I've been shitfaced before, but this is the first time I can say that I don't remember anything. I Can't remember the footy, I don't remember getting home. Then to top it off, I find out that I sent a text to the girl telling her how I feel in some sort of mumbo jumbo. I do like her, but I knew nothing would happen so I was happy with a friendship. So now I have jeopardised the friendship, though she is being pretty cool about it, I still feel like a dick.

Then I had to work at 7 this morning. I rock up still extremely drunk. On the plus side, I did not have a hangover..... Not sure how

But now I am honestly thinking of giving up the drink. It won't happen, but man I am just so shattered with how things transpired. I'm not dirty at the alcohol, I'm dirty at myself for getting into such a mess.

You're still not making sense....."I rock up"...."I'm dirty at myself"...."I can't remember the footy".....WTF, man?

Yeah, I've been there too. As James McMurtry said "I probably ought to quit my drinking
but I don`t believe I will." You'll be OK....chalk it up as a learning experience.

Ahhh BLACKING OUT! Those were good times. Or they were, for a while. If you're not hungover, rest assured, you're still kind of drunk, OR you should check your clothes for puke stains. If you didn't purge yourself of the booze somehow, hangovers are almost guaranteed after a night of drinking that hard. That being said, alcohol is pretty rough on the body. And, it takes so much WORK just to enjoy it-- swallowing down poison for a good time. It fills you up too. It's not my favorite means of experiencing life from a different angle, that's for sure

Drink rum next time, it's not as harsh on the senses. Maybe also try mixing the spirits. Drinking a bottle of the strong stuff straight's not normally the wisest move.

Why did you decide to take a bottle of vodka into the game anyway? Was it to calm the nerves?

decides2dream

does it have to be...all or none?
can you not simply alter your drinking habits and behaviors?
limit how much, or what, kind of alcohol you consume? i don't think it has to be so extreme, giving it up entirely...unless you feel like you cannot control your drinking. that is something you may want to think about. otherwise, a bit of moderation/monitoring your consumption seems like a happy medium.

If you are asking the question, you already know the answer.

I just assumed that was just the australian way of saying things.

Gave it up over 4 years ago and haven't had a drop since. It has its ups and downs.

Like Speedy pointed out though, everyone at some point has had too much and made an ass of themselves. It's not the end of the world. Depending on your age and how much drinking xp you have, chalk it up to an embarrassing learning xp. If it's a regular thing, then you've got a problem. I'm also guessing that the real problem here is your feelings for the girl... that sort of thing causes far more ridiculous behavior than drink ever has!

To answer one question, I took the grog in not to calm the nerves, just to drink and to save money and save myself from lining up for beers. There were 80,000 ppl at the match so lines were massive.

Another question do I have a problem with the drink? Maybe, I do not have dependence on it, however when I drink, I drink to get drunk, however I have never ended up not remembering things like the other night, and I would say I have drunk more in a night, but I'm not sure what happened.

Another q, I have not had a hangover, I don't know why cause I was fucked.

Another point is, Yes it is my feelings toward the girl. I never put my feelings on the line unless I am certain of it. I feel like an Arse. She was cool about it, let me down softly, said that she is not ready for a relationship, but if she was she would call me... I don't know, that is unlikely. Then we exchanged a few more sms talking about things. We are even in the same course at uni, so I will feel so awkward about further contact.

And another thing, I'm 23, and I have been drinking heaps (not alcoholic dependence) but most weekends since I was 18, plus countless parties before then. As I said above, I drink to get drunk. I can't see myself giving it up, but man I feel like a goose.

So it is the "alcohol" that is stupid??

Did you go to the State of Origin?

If your a New South Welshman it's probably better that you don't remember the game. :(

On the plus side. If she still hangs around after she's seen you totally hammered you could be onto a winner there!

One of the best sentences I've read. Life goes on, but man after my worst night of uncontrollable drinking, i thought I had blown the chance of a lifetime....but, after meeting my current girlfriend for the first time, drinking an entire bottle of crown royal to myself, openly saying a lot of foolish things to her, causing her to leave an Incubus concert early and then vomiting all over the Holiday Inn elevator she still managed to spend the night with me.

Now, I think her intentions were to make sure I didn't die in my sleep...but something must have happened in my favor, because over two years later she still puts up with my drinking shinanagins.. :oops:
