I think I want your life (with my fiance and kid, natch)

I presume you mean the beach not the salary. Anyway Brighton has a beach right? I know it's all stones but mine seems to be made of builder's grit.

Sequential posts in the drinking thread, Yay. Or not, if you're a glass half empty person.

I'm off to drink a bit of beer and have a kebab. They're more like actual Lebanese restaurants here than in England, but it still feels weird to me to go out to dinner in a kebab shop.

I'm about to drink. Well, to be fair, it's not like I haven't started this particular beer already. And it's not like I haven't been drinking since about three this afternoon. But I'm about to drink.

...aaaahhh...

sweet, sweet booze.

I'm going out to drink, then I'll have to wait for many hours to sober up before I can drive back again. How stupid is that?
By the way, Boboss, I think that you misunderstood COG, take me into the top 90% of the population earnings wise means that the income is now more than 10% of others, so if it's the 11th percentile, that's still pretty shitty. But, maybe you did understand, and you're below the 10th percentile, in which case, well— sorry.

Sometimes a person, even knowing that they will pay for it tomorrow, feels that the day has been just that teeny bit more hassle than, perhaps, they are paid to deal with. Sometimes, especially when that person has been paid today, they feel that the only true and healthy way to de-stress is to take a cycle ride through the crisp Winter night, head into town, find a booth in a pub, and drink a few tasty ales whilst reading a little intelligent sci-fi (David Gerrold's entertainingly bleak War Against The Chtorr series).

It's not alcoholism if you do it in public.

So I have been told.

By experts.

Experts with degrees and lab coats and glasses.

Well...it might have been me speaking to my mirror reflection.

But still, expert!

As of approximately 0630hrs tomorrow morning I'm 30. This confuses and saddens me somewhat. However as a result today there shall be bright coloured and strangely flavoured Vodkas, in no small amounts and near infinite variety, to celebrate my still being in my twenties for a few hours yet.

A drink or two soon at lunch, just to get things going, and then things will kick off in ernest at four or so this afternoon, thus ensure that my bitter croaks of pain and horror upon the dawning of tomorrow will be more due to alcohol poisoning than to realization of my age.......

So, from 0630 tomorrow you'll be like totally untrustworthy maaaan?! Happy 30th, young man!

God, why did this bloody fever have to descend on me just this weekend, what with my French mate X coming tonight and M, L & J's massive birthday do tomorrow? I won't be drinking tonight (I think) but tomorrow, come hell or high heels...

My. Had slightly more Vodka than planned at lunchtime. It's not looking great for me making it much after sunset tonight, at least not without making a gigantice, drunken fool of myself tonight. Still I suppose that's not that awful a thing. Right now I'm feeling dizzy and odd, and slightly confused, but still acutely capable of feeling deep humiliation and embarassment at any drunken cock-ups I may make. So only about two drinks from the best bit I surmise, and only four or so from when it starts going downhill. Oh dear peaking too early.......

Drink lots and lots of water.

How about a change of scene, maybe a walk in the fresh air with a friend to keep you out of traffic and a solid nutritious meal?
 
 
Shiny: Well Over Thirty
13:38 / 25.01.08
Yes. I've had a cup of insanely strong coffee, followed by a pint of water, and in five to ten minutes I'll be heading back to the pub. I'd wager money that the next post I make on Barbelith will be incoherant, and strongly recommend it be summararily deleted whatever it might be if it's outside of Convo.

Oh edit - X-post: I've walked at little, and had a little food. But that's probably enough for me. I suspect I'll be fine once I'm in the pub - I'm at that odd point that seems horrendously drunk at work, but really seems like only just getting started in a drinking establishment.......and I susect I'll slow down, as the lunchtime time limit will have been removed.....

Crikey. There were pills going from my mates as at work as well as the booze tonight. Tiss less than four hours till I turn 30, but it's incredibly temptimg to drop something now, just to see what I've been given during my final night in my twentird.
 
 
Shiny: Well Over Thirty
00:56 / 26.01.08
Mean twenties, not twentierd. As one can see, I'm fairly fucked now. Oh dear.

I felt kinda mature and all responsible-like because I told a good friend of mine not to come over and visit me for partying this weekend, because of an exam I have on Wednesday, since I need to study. On the other hand, I've been drinking all night, and ending with a Duvel, because of the lousy way I made today's exam.

I told myself I was going to get drunk tonight to forget my lousy exam, but I have not succeeded unto this point...

yet somehow, and I don't mean to sound annoying, it's good to be young...
 
 
Shiny: Well Over Thirty
01:27 / 26.01.08
Oh god. Oh god. I've just thrown up all over meself. That was deeply unpleasant, but unfortunately not quite unpleasant enough to crash out right now. Fuck.
 
 
Dutch
01:40 / 26.01.08
take care dude...

my limited experience has told me that no vomiting is without a reason...

and usually the reason is too much of something...

drink some water,

but not too much.
 
 
Shiny: Well Over Thirty
02:01 / 26.01.08
Yeah, yer right. I've had about 250mls of water. And nothing else. And I'm watching some buffy, and everything slowly sortyinbg itself out. I'll probably feel ok to crach soon..

I've just thrown up all over meself.

I've never gotten drunk to the point of nausea, but I can imagine that it'd be a terribly unpleasant experience. I always seem to drink just enough to be able to piece together what happened the next day with a small group of friends, but not too much, to the point of vomiting and passing out.

20:40 / 15.02.08
Mm. I've thrown up at a party, in work the next day and in the comfort of my own home (thankfully not all after the same drinkathon). I've never thrown up in the wide-open public, I imagine it's not something many people willingly sign up for, in this school of life.

All Im going to say on the subject of throwing up is when you're on the bus and REALLy feel the need, and your friend tells you to cover your mouth. Do not merely place one finger on your lips as if you were about to sush someone. All you end up doing is having the vomitus spew in two streams from the corners of your mouth, leaving you looking like a lawn sprinkler.

So, as evidenced by this thread, no Lither has had a drop of alcohol for almost two months. Gosh, I'm so proud of you all! WELL DONE!




Me, drink, yes. You?

I'm leaving in a couple of hours for a party and I shall drink until morning rises, and this will be the most restrained thing I shall make.

Se you all in 24 to 48 hours. maybe 72.

I've just been invited out to a rave near (or on) New Brighton beach. New Brighton, not THE Brighton!

Me.Now. Alot.
Using (goes to check) Merlot* to drown out the negative effects of art on my life and the negative effects of my life on my art.

* the merlot is suprisingly good. Much better than the last batch.

Down the hatch again. This should possibly go in the FIRST! thread, since it'll be my first experience with the legendary piss-up that is an Irish wedding. Wish my liver luck!

Wish it luck? I'd give it a lingering kiss goodbye if I were you, if my mates stories are to be believed. Have a great night to everyone, I too am off out on the tiles. I expect to be USELESS tomorrow.

This very evening I shall be jaunting to London for a farewell drink as one of my friends moves to New Zealand. The choice of venue is the Bavarian Beer Hall. Good German food and great German beers.

Ich mochte zwei dunkelbrau bitte.

So who else could do with a drink? I need a fucking drink like right fucking now.

[edit]

Nuke, how was the Bavarian Beer Hall?
