Surely parties are for having the maximum amount of fun in one go- and hang the consequences of the raging hangover the next day. I seem to be alone in my theory. Any other party animals out there?

I am certainly not a puritan, but I have a lot of experience of parties (and other things). The only reason why I don't get totally bladdered at parties nowadays is that I will miss so many interesting conversations, either ones that I have with other people, or other people's conversations that I can earwig. Only time now that I let myself get really bladdered is when I'm in my room, on my own, with nobody to bore.

I'm no party-poopin puritan either [great alliteration!] I love a couple of drinks, dancing all night, and ......... dot dot dot as they used to say! but...... I've experienced some really nasty consequences, and also lived with an alcoholic, which isn't pretty. When you realise it's 3 in the morning and you don't know where you are or how you got there, it's time to take stock.
PS One of my uncles was also an alcoholic, and it made him an unattractive person, even though he was tall, dark, handsome and charming. Notice I speak in the past tense - he never got sober, and now he's dead.

I can empathise. Was at a caravan park for my holiday and at the club in the evening I got p.ssd as a newt a few times and the rest of the place was a sort of horror of soberness. I don't need to drink to enjoy myself and I don't drink more than 3 times a year but when I do I get loud and party down. Also, I took the kids on a pirate ship (go figure) and my husband and I were larking about and waving and shouting and the kids were loving it - the rest of the crew were a sullen bunch who just sat there...bummer.

<---Not a party poopin' puritan here by any means. To me everyone has to account to themselves as to how much they are drinking and how they feel physically and psychologically the next day.
I can say some of the people I know become quite bladdered, others are disgusting with regard to the little they consume, and some are in the middle, pretty much in the range where I place myself.

I used to have the same attitude as you, drink and drink and drink till you can no longer stand, sod tomorrow.
It was great fun when I was in my late teens and early twenties, but its only fun if everyone else is as drunk. And it's no fun at all waking up not knowing what you got up to the night before, what you may have said to people in your drunken state.
It's quite embarrassing talking to someone who is pie eyed too, they can get aggressive or silly or plain embarrassing. You say and do things that you wouldn't when sober, that amount of alcohol can affect your judgement also- who knows who you might wake up next to?
And then there is the negative effect it'll have on your looks. You may only do it at parties but binge drinking, ie drinking huge amounts in one session, is actually a lot worse for you than small amounts regularly. You could end up with cirrhosis of the liver.

The only reason you would recognise that anyone else was as drunk as you would normally be is that you are drunk yourself and everyone else seems sober.
If you could suddenly reverse the situation you would find that probably they are more drunk than you`ve ever been.
Keep going, you`re doing OK.
Mines a whisky and sour.
ps. This is nothing to do with your question, but just thought:-
Whiskey, spelled with an `e` is Irish whiskey, without it, it is Scottish and, by the way the plural of Scot is Scots, not scotch, scotch is whisky.
Just thought you`d like to know. Thanks for the points!

Yeah - I now don't go out with people who shout about a good time but turn up the next day with no headache and looking like they weren't out the night before.
Just wish I was the ONLY one that remembered fully what I got up to - rather than me only half remembering & the rest of the blighters remembering it all :-(

Perhaps you have to get pissed because you cannot function in a normal situation. If you are shy, reserved, or just socially inept, maybe it's a good time to start looking at what issues you need to work on. Is there a deep seated unhappyness which you are not facing? Habitual debauchery is a road to misery.

most people do not like to feel out of control and rely on others to take care of them. it is an imposition to do this. but hey we all go there occasionally. when it's a habit it's not partying it's called dypsomania or alcoholism and people will distance themselves from that. party til you are 28 but after that you're a drunk...

Aids and no driving licence can be added to a headache as consequenses as can having to marry the ugly dog you wind up in bed with if you want to escape a rape charge.
