ARGHHH! Who put this HIVE here?!

Hell, I bet you the world would be a nicer place is ALL religions had at least one designated party day a month. We'll also toss in a party day for the atheists, the agnostics, cultists, and all the people who created their own personal religion. Only problem is that nothing will ever get done in places like America since there are gazillions of religions here so each day of the year would be a party day for some religion, but still, the world would be a nicer place (as long as your religion's party day doesn't fall on leap day or the 31st of a month).

Simply solution: Make it the same day for every religion (or non-religion).

And why did I read "agonists" in "agonstics" and what are they or how do they differ from masochists?

I don't drink. I saw how my dad was when he got drunk and I don't want to risk becoming like that.

Drinking responsibly is good.

I'm thinking of getting drunk. I have some fire water my boss brough back from Columbia. 29% alcohol. I think rubbing alchohol has less than that.lol

29%?

thats an odd percentage beer is around 4-6% wine is around 12-15 then spirits are normally 35-40


Trying very hard not to start drinking at 10:40 in the morning here now but I won't succumb not until around 4 or 5 ish where I'll have a bit to get me in the mood to go out tonight.

Another reason for drinking a bit but not getting drunk is that its a reasonably good painkiller and helpful for getting your mind off things sometimes.

Also depends what we mean by drunk, for me the stages go

Sober

starting drinking, immediately refreshing and loosens tongue a tiny bit

starting to get tipsy, start talking freely now and everythings fine

tipsy, you are in the zone this is the drunk place I want to stay all night I can dance talk and chat without fear (this is the last point I can probably tell myself to stop drinking)

Begining to be drunk, Ok nothing but a friend or a lack of alcohol is going to stop me drinking now still the same benefits as tipsy though, this is the stage which you drink enough to get really drunk

Drunk, too loud , too confident, dexterity and coordination starting to fail a bit possible bits of slurring, bad ideas sound good, still rescueable with assistance or lack of alcohol at this point.

Mullered. slurs, lack of coordination, saying stuff you wouldn't normally say but in a bad way, aggression and violence can accompany this stage too, the only good way this is going to end is if someone sends you home or you're too drunk to move much or to be understood.

Other states which may accompany mullered, passing out, vomiting, Memory Loss usually everything back to the Drunk stage for me.

EDIT: forgot to mention other side effects from drunk to mullered the next morning you will more than likely have a hangover which can include but is not limited to, headaches, queezy stomachs, vomiting, lethargy, mild depression, paranoia (only if you've had memory loss). At the tipsy stage you'll probably get away with just feeling not so fresh in the morning.
......................

Well thats my take on drinking anyway, an enjoyable past time and fun drug it also tastes nice once you spend the time to develop a taste for it.
If you're getting drunk for the first time go do it with friends at least one who will stay sober and will take the alcohol away from you, I would recommend doing this at someones house too not out in a bar for your first time

One thing for certain.... my typing skills don't improve with drinking


Ah well.... up at 8am and no issues. No hangover, no stomach "Stop the bus!" feelings. I'm actually very relaxed.


However....this will NOT become habit. Between the cost of buying the drink and the knowledge of what it does to you I won't make it a habit.

Appears everyone is off and away again so later. Have a good one.

I think I will go and make some CDs and actually work on my Storyhour before my daughter's friends come over. We are celebrating her B-day this weekend.

 

[Ginnel]

Have fun with your daughters Birthday, I wish I had kids well maybe not for another 3-5 years

I was impressed by your typing my drunkess either lets me type normally and say stupid stuff or I'm drunk enough that I just ignore the computer and go straight to bed

 

[megamania]

yeah- now that I am sober I figure it may be a good thing no one was there. No telling what I would have said (tried to say) otherwise with a bit of encouragement.

Sweet red wine gives quite a headache, I haven't had enough for a serious hangover in a year or two.

nothing that can't be solved by a really good cinnamon roll and and an omelet with bacon and sour cream.

No D&D last night, only six of the fourteen people were gamers.
Next week in Thunderspire! Jerusalem
