I used to get some really nasty hangovers back in the college days where I would be in bed till about the 3 the next afternoon trying not to puke all day.. some days I would start throwing up around 8 AM and then throw up every hour on the hour 3, 4, or 5 times like my body was on some kind of clock.. sometimes would throw up and dry heave with nothing in my stomach except that gross bile.. We used to drink a lot and I learned eventually that if I didn't drink any water before I went to bed, these nasty hangovers would happen and there wasn't much I could do to prevent them.. The funny part was my roommate would drink as much as me and have just a little headache the next day,, used to really piss me off...lol..

Crazy Colorado rule. Never heard of one like this. I suppose it is a fair compromise to shutting down on Sunday completely. Here it is all by county. We have people coming to this town from 30 minutes away to buy on Sunday.

Living in Iowa in the late 70's, was forced to drive 50 miles to the Minnesota border to pick up 5.0 cases of COORS.

Back than, COORS was like THE beer.........very popular.

At the time PABST BLUE RIBBON was the #1 beer in IOWA.

Interesting. 50 miles? That's dedication!

Another negative I can think of is $$. I dont know how many times I've looked back and added up my tabs and my liquor store runs at the end of the month and said something like "Holy shit, I cant believe I wasted 300 bucks on alcohol."

Full kegs are very hard to lift by yourself.

Yep. It's all about tossing the bejamins and gaining the calories.
If it could only be the opposite.

been arrested three times:
1) operating under the influence of liquor
2) impaired driving/leaving the scene of accident
3) same as 1

*
ever around someone when they are drunk and you are sober, especially when they slur so bad that they sound retarded and you cant make out what they are even saying and they keep going on and on.

how about positives?
how about what type of drunk are you?
happy, mad, emotional/sensitive, other?

would be interesting to hear some stories...:suomi:

yeah for me it would be the seriousness of getting in trouble with the law and all the repercusions(sp?) of it,.....im no spring chicken,.....kinda have watched the laws get tougher and tougher,...........have seen more than my fair share of drinking episodes,....thing is,...some people can drink a few beers socially and some cant,.............i know most of the people who can drink a few beers socially have know idea what the others go through,....alcoholism,....uuuhhggg thats a bad word,....but am at an age now to know that i have to contain drinking and always try to keep a grip on it,...........and that is the worst part of drinking,....i mean there are many other negatives to alcohol consumption,but for me its trouble with the law and finally getting to an age where you realize it affects people diffrently and i tend to be in the alcoholics catagory unfortunately

now my top pisser of the negatives of alcohol is when i was driving us(3) drunks back from a nascar race at mis,...it was in 92 when ryder truck rentals were allowed in,....so anyhow after a looong weekend of drinking beer with little to no food,.....no one else could/or was smart enough to not drive,.....so im headin down i-94 in this bright yellow ryder truck,....are faces are painted black with a #3 on our chests,.......and for some strange reason this lady state trooper pulled us over,.......now as bad as that was,...............to top it off she had know idea who dale earnhardt was,....well i was appaulled,..........of course it didnt matter got a dui out of that whole mess:pucking:

I'm a good drunk I think my sense of humor becomes a lot more loose. The good think about drinking is it gets me to talk to girls that normally intimidate me. Also when I was younger, it was the only thing that would get me to dance with chics at the clubs. Oh, it helps pass the time pretty good too.

I will say that being shit faced and losing a huge bet absolutely sucks. You feel it when you lose, then you have to deal with it again when you sober up.

I havent had a drink in a week as of the end of today. That's usually my breaking point before I fall off the wagon again. We'll see.

I have to stay away from alchohol. If some friends buy me a beer during a round of golf, after the round I go buy a 12 pack. If I see a grey goose commercial I go buy a liter. One shot turns into two, three, four, blackout. The feeling of throwing up bile and yacking it up until your nutsack feels it just doesn't appeal to me anymore. But I am one lucky SOB, I've been let off 3 DUI's.:dancefool

One of the negatives I found with drinking TOO much is

I think I am a funny guy, make clever comments and in most cases I'm right but there is a line that gets crossed when I drink too much where I'm the only one that laughs.
Most of My "A" Material is hilarious when delivered correctly but if I slur some words and don't smile at the right times, I sound like an A$$hole.
