What are your views on binge drinking?

[Blessedj01]

Could you please?





I have noticed him place at least 5 or 6 people on ignore so far, everytime he loses a debate, so you never know...you could be next.

Actually, that's not the reason I do it. And i'm of the opinion I rarely ever lose a debate.

 

[MehGuy]

Yes but even if you quoted them it would be against the rules for me to directly address him if I have already put him on ignore. No matter though, he isn't.

It would only be against the rules if you were forced to ignore a user by order of the mods.

Sadly, there are a few people I'm not allowed to respond too. If I do I receive an infraction.

Not sure about that, but I received a warning once for it.

I think people are just reading too much into things.

That´s why I for one ask what your statement is supposed to tell me, instead of reading things into it.

and I appreciate that, Q.

I'm sure you are.

(I'm pretty sure I'm on ignore, so I don't know why I'm posting this...)

Because I can read it.

They just did it because their attention wanders when they drink.

Real binge drinkers don't leave evidence like this. When they drink they quickly get to the point where they can't type.

One more reason to binge each Friday instead of a couple drinks each evening.

My character in an online game is currently Falling Down Drunk.

I can type in almost any advanced state of inebriation.

Must be a spiritual gift.

I see what you did there.

 

[sarxweh]

I don't think anyone plans it. But everything can be traced to the past.

And to the future

 

[sarxweh]

Moderation in drinking has its virtues; but I've found that 5 cans on a Friday following a dry week is better than a single can each night.

Amen

 

[sarxweh]

Again the 5 is in 'one session'.

So being male if I throw down 4 shots in 30 seconds it is no problem. If instead I go out to a baseball double header and over the course of 6 hours or more consume 5 beers it is.

Oh yea, if I'm doing those 4 shots head to head with a female she is binge drinking! (For some reason the number if 4 for females).

Depends on the kind of girls you hang out with

You're not drinking hard enough.

 

[Blessedj01]

...believe me, I'm drinking (or was drinking) too hard.

How do I feel about it? Well, I don't like being around really drunk people, and the only way to tolerate it is be really drunk yourself. From experience, I have been everywhere from having a blackout, to drunk, to tipsy, to just having a drink or two. When I was younger, I liked being drunk because I thought it would make it easier to socialize, blow off steam, or solve problems. It left me hungover with a problem, thinking I needed alcohol to socialize, or needed alcohol to relieve stress.

My body tells me that it doesn't like heavy binge drinking from how awful I feel the next day.

In the moment, I often feel embarrassed for what I said or did.

Now, I like having a beer or two, but know my limit.

How do I feel about others binge drinking? It's destructive, but it is your business. I've done it, so maybe people need to do it and learn. For me, I often learned the hard way.

A friend of mine who I love binge drank so much that he now has a problem with his liver, and has to get fluid drained from his body. It is potentially lethal.

A coworker lost a daughter to a drunk driver.

What would be better than binge drinking is to learn how to drink responsibly.
I believe that people should be educated about the potentials of permanent liver damage and alcoholism.
I also strongly believe that if you drink, you shouldn't drive, and drunk driving laws should be much stronger.
