Considering that I'm still amazed how people are actually able to put up with me... Yeah. I'm not too bad nowdays, but I used to be a real A-hole in my youth. And I find it hilarious that I can say that with straight face. I'm friggin 23 and I talk about my youth as if I was 40 or so
I'm 33 and I was an Ahole when I was younger. No one did put up with me then. I'm still an ahole. I'm starting to realize how much of one.
You talk about your youth that way because you've done a lot more than some your age. Hell I'm sure you've done more than I have.

Also I see no problem with getting drunk just for the sake of it (others will disagree) I prefer to do it in the comfort of my own home with just about enough to get me there
Around 2 bottles of red wine though I sometimes wish for more.
Haven't done that in a while though, I used to have really good nights in when my brother scarperd for the night/weekend, me, a pot of cherry garcia Ben and Gerry's, a bottle or two of red wine and the internet (normally comics sometimes TV shows)
Unfortunately when I drink too much on a night out I'm usually an arse, though I've been getting better over the years.
EDIT: I should add a disclaimer that I promote drinking responsibly, the drinking I'm describing is to get you merry and drunk, without the pressure (sometimes unoticed) to keep up with people you are with (with buying in rounds/moving on to the next place/just to have something to do when everyone else is talking), I find it easier to judge how much you've had.
Also I don't recommend doing this as a weekly/daily thing, every now and then is enough.

Your excuse is you're British. Drinking at breakfast is probably normal.

Would you mind if I sent you PM about it someday...
There's not many to whom I can really rant about my past, and I sure as hell won't do it openly even in the Hive, but I know opening up to someone is good for mental health...

Go for it. We all need someone to talk to.

Yeah. It's the only thing I can't talk with my GF. We made an agreement early on, that my past is past and I don't talk about it to her, and she won't ask about it.
And at lunch, and brunch, and dinner, and night-snack...
Hmm. Brits sound a lot like us finns...
Well the brits are the ones who invented a game that takes 5 days to finish and ends in a draw more often then not as an excuse to spend those five days on the couch, drinking...
Your excuse is you're British. Drinking at breakfast is probably normal.
The earliest I've had a drink after going to sleep is around 7:00am (with breakfast infact) this was because the World Cup was on and we were watching England play (twas a great world cup its ace having a fry up when watching the match with a tinny )
Although having said that I have also drank in every single hour available of day, not that thats a necessarily a good thing

Yeah. It's one of the things I can't talk with my GF. We made an agreement early on, that my past is past and I don't talk about it to her, and she won't ask about it.
that might be a good idea if she doesn't think she can handle it.

Thats the one. Of course the brits did take it one step further and conspire to be bad at the game as another excuse to drink when they get demolished.

and then as a thank you, you all (well obviously excluding our American readers and Scottish, infact I don't think Finland has a Cricket team either it would probably be easier to list the countries this would apply to, hmm maybe I should do that, India, Pakistan, Austrailia, South Africa) come and beat the heck out of us at it.

There are so many sports that didn't catch on here. Rugby and Cricket are just 2 of them.

The funny part is I get it all but it's not common slang here.
