the path to puritanism is slippery

yeah this will last till you've drank every beer at the local once

you don't seem to understand how much time I spend at my local pubs

a voyage of distillery

xp so that means it won't last long

does a bottle of vodka count as 1 drink, if you drink it straight from the bottle?

only if you don't stop

(downed a pint neat, once. survived)

CAD the answer is "like, twice in the past year, and I've had one or two drinks each time"

T, yes, that would count as one drink

D, you are repulsive

that night more than most tbh

i did that w/ whiskey once. well i say once.

btw hold off on trying that til im in london again

lj i think you need to enjoy yr local establishments more then!

some of us have no real wish to rapidly propel five units of alcohol into our stomachs

CAD I suppose I patronise my cricket club bar more than all the proper pubs combined but I usually only get a lemonade...drinking is a social activity, to be done with one's friends, i.e. not where I live

some of us have no real wish to rapidly propel five units of alcohol into our stomachs

540 mls / 37.5 mls = 14.4 shots- irish shots, not your pissy little 25mls either.

i dunno about the path to puritanism, but the path outside hennelly's was pretty slippy by time i'd done

aight aight you've convinced me.

now i'm just imagining the end of your quest when you've drank all the good stuff and are choosing between various brands of 3rd world rotgut liquor.

but that's the fun part! also when I start inventing cocktails...

yeah based on what i know of yr culinary adventures i'm pretty amped for that

"wtf spinach TOTALLY goes with glenfiddich u brutes"

guys

we need to have a serious discussion abt alcohol and why it is endemic in our culture and how this can be challenged

alternatively why I need to stfu and imbibe

or why it needs to be, tbh.

social lubricant serves plenty purpose for the majority of users, in our little of the world there's clear problems with how it's abused, but personal freedoms lol etc

stop blaming 'the culture' for your addiction louis

truesay my alcohol consumption levels are ridiculously small compared to what they once were - I'm trying to phase it out, it makes me feel rough

i have a few bottles of whiskey knocking around the place, but tbrr i can pretty much count the number of times i get drunk in a year on one hand

if by drunk you mean 'forget what happened' then yeah prolly same here

if by 'forget what happened' you mean 'blacked out' then no i think we may be on slightly different scales tbh

don't mean blacked out, no

further clarification required tbh. but anyway 'drunk' = anywhere from feet not obeying onwards

i mean some ppl will try to include yr vomiting and whatnot, but tbh if you're gonna be eating kebabs at 2am then you're removing the right to blame a puke session on anything else imo

well, you know, things get sketchy, you're not really sure what happened, but within a basically plausible framework of events. tbh this is happening more and more sans booze.

i stopped even getting that far tbh after portumna
