So I am like kinda wanting imput here.

Allot of you have seen me drunk.....when I go out.

I embarress myself on a regular basis so I might stop.

But my friends who shall remain nameless....think I should keep doing it but maybe I am just the entertainment.

What do you think? Should I not drink when I go out? Am I that bad??? Or, that good? Heh.

Seriously. :erm :fear

sod what your friends think.

what do you think.

thats the important thing here

Your friends want to see you make an ass of yourself.

Like Head Wreck said do what you think is right.

I have not seen you drunk. I've only seen you once maybe.

I have heard you might get too touchy-feely to people who don't welcome that. Maybe you do so when you drink. Dunno.

I can't judge, 'cause I have been drinking too much myself. I cut down this past weekend at CC and things were MUCH better. I intend to cut it down a little more this coming weekend. Even though turnout of DGN'ers was very light this past weekend, I had one of my best times ever. And Jon has cut-out all 80-103 proof hard liquor and has a limit of 15% beers he can now have each night out. He practiced that this past Saturday and he was GREAT. Lucid, relaxed, able to have a conversation and albe to drive us home without endangering ourselves or others.

If you think you need to cut down and others are trying to dissuade you from that, I would suspect their motives. Highly.

Judge thyself. Don't let others do it for you.

It's really up to the individual to know whether they're drinking too much or not. I've heard you say, though, that alcohol aggrivates some of your medical conditions. Wouldn't that in and of itself be enough reason to stop?

Head Wreck is right, though. The choice is very much up to you and while we on DGN or your friends can give our opinions, it's entirely up to you to decide what's best for your situation.

Seriously, do what you feel is right. I know for myself, when I really screw up and it was drinking related, I stop and/or cut back for awhile. When I start feeling bad from drinking, I stop. You need to ask yourself:

1. Am I okay with my behavior when I drink? - if the answer is no, stop or cut back on the booze.

2. How am I feeling? I know when I drink a lot, I start to feel "pickled" after awhile, so I have to stop.

Only you know how you feel, only you can decide if you need to stop or not.

Don't believe everything you hear.....one person on here answered my ad online and when I approached him he insulted me and I left him alone. He was not my type anyway, I think he really just wanted to make me look/feel bad.....I do get freindly but can take a hint.

The other was a lady and we were quite freindly until her current boyfriend, now I guess she is not allowed to explore that side of things.....

Then her ex hit on me, it was kinda funny.

So much drama on DGN

But Beenie your words hit home. Yes my freinds want to laugh at my expense. I am funny when I drink.

You know who I am talking about here.......I actually embarressed the unembarressable person so that is kinda bad. I started shooting spit balls at his freinds head the other day.

I am thinking maybe a 2 drink minimum is good for now.......cut back, but not quit. You know? Then there is the empty stomach thing to consider. Maybe just one drink if I cannot eat that day. It is hard to gauge when you don't feel well enough to eat. I know, I should not drink if I don't feel well enough to eat in the first place.....but it makes me more social.

And fun! And I actually think hard liquor that is clearish is better for your guts than say, red wine even inspite of what they say! I am just going by how I feel here. Like a couple shots of vodka or tequilla, just easier on the tummy and head the next day. I know your not getting the benefit of red wine but still, it feels and tastes better.

I think my husband would disagree with you. Emphatically. While I hold his hair for him.

Different booze does different things to different people. Jon's experience with vodka is nothing but bad. He learned his lesson the hard way, but he finally learned it.

I can't take anything mixed with citrus or things heavy in sugars. Screwdrivers are out. Vodka Cranberries are in. Rum & Coke - out. Hot Damn 100 - out. Whiskey - in.

I have found I do best with vodka. It's easiest for me to judge my intake & mixtures. Jon is swearing off hard liquor altogether, and sticking with a little beer.

Find what works for you, learn to measure it out, and stick with that. DOn't buy extra. Don't mix your liquors in a single evening.

I'm just curious as to what's so cool about getting drunk and losing your ability to think rationally. There's nothing entertaining about a drunken fool. As for those that want to see you continue getting drunk: friends??? Give me a break. I guess that they don't mind if you attempt to drive and possibly kill yourself OR others, either.

Sorry, but not quite. The last thing I want to hear is that someone I care about was killed in an accident because they were being stupid.
