I like drinking. Drinking's fine. Don't like going out though, think it's more because of all the obnoxious cretins you see and the outrageous amount of money you waste on a night out. Drink quite a lot solo though.

I hate how drinking has become such a big part of so many people's social life. Personally I find drinking alcohol any more than very small portions to be disgusting and try to avoid all drinking when I can without being an utter mood ruiner.

This is why I don't very often go into parties as most people in them are getting drunk and I have not yet been able to enjoy a full night in a party without people trying to get me to drink as well, which is the ultimate mood ruiner for me. Especially after entering a university it seems that 95% of all get-togethers include drinking and that is making it hard for me to create new social contacts.

I used to rarely drink. Then when I started uni I'd have one of a night if I was going out (though actually I quite often didn't consider it going out and stuck to coke). Then I got a bottle of JDs and got drunk over a lunch break with a friend and still went to a lecture.
Then I started getting depressed and tried to drink it away, so I'd put away maybe 3/4s of a litre of JDs and a few pints minimum over the course of an evening (and woke up in the snow, passed out in the corridor or somehow fine on one occasion). Stopped drinking for a long time after my overdose. Started drinking a bit again (not too much). Then drank to drown my sorrows again one night but that was only about 6 pints.
Get to one of my best mate's parties last November, hadnt drunk in a while, got ratted by drinking a bottle of vodka at his place and a few cocktails at the first bar, then puked on my pool rival. Next time around things went a bit better after 9 pints bought for me on my 22nd. Next time around I had a bit more and tried it on with almost every girl in the bar. Next time round I pulled, then the time after I was sick in a stranger's sink (and I still don't know what happened with her).

I always used to despise binge-drinking and prefered a sort of refined pint whilst playing pool or darts or having a grown-up chat with friends. Now, it seems, I've developed a liking for being a drunk loser: I get wrecked and flirt with girls who I would never have the guts to talk to, and I kinda like that in a bad way. Thing is, when I sober up (only been hungover properly once, though I did show up to an assessment drunk and got a first on it, and then to work drunk and set a personal best on my upload times (standard for a girl doing the same work was 5 minutes or so, I hit 13 seconds (no shitting))) I tend to regret my actions. A sober me is usually rather shy, and the girls I tend to actually LIKE are not the kind of girls who'd be up for stuff like this. I've kinda gone for the sorta 'poster girls' when drunk, but they have no substance. I guess it's utterly dependent upon who else is up for boozing that night: there's a shortlist of good friends that will guarantee me being a wreck these days and the transformation in me was pretty rapid.

Wow: where the fuck did this all come from?
