You guys are such squares.

Drinking can be fun, hangovers are just the price you pay, I’d say that almost all of my worst hangovers were definitely worth it.

I try to alternate a soda (sugar free, preferably) or sparkling water instead of every other beer. Keeps me from hitting a wall at festivals and such, and significantly lessens any hangovers.

drinking alcohol makes you dumber, which some people find enjoyable

ime with drunk people it only made them (more?) angry and violent, or otherwise unpleasant to be around, so I just like to avoid that all together :shobon:

Because alcohol impairs judgement.

If you're the kind of person who's prone to anger and violence then you may also have the sense to keep that under control normally, but when you drink you have less restraint. If you're the kind of person who really wants to sing but understands that other people might not appreciate it, when you drink you might decide singing at the top of your voice is a great idea. Alcohol doesn't fundamentally change who you are, it just takes away some of the filters.

The best way I've heard it described is that alcohol doesn't make you anything, the impairment just makes it harder to hide who you really are. Anyone that "turns into" an rear end in a top hat when they drink is already an rear end in a top hat, they're just more low key about it when they're sober.

Nope, because the elf always ends up shooting the food. And the rear end in a top hat has a bunch of quarters so you can't kick him off the machine.

Yep. My dad was a violent alcoholic who would have drunken rage to the point where he would attempt to murder his own wife and kid, which is why my mom took me when I was a baby and fled down to Florida here. She was terrified that I had the same predisposition to ruinous alcoholism.

Turns out all that happens when I drink is I talk a lot more. My dad was violent because he was a naturally violent rear end in a top hat who supported the Confederacy (despite being from New Jersey and living in Canada) and went out gay bashing at bars. Drinking just removed what little social inhibition prevented him from trying to hurt everyone around.

If you know someone who gets violently angry when they drink, you may want to stop associating with them if possible. That means they're already a violently angry person and the alcohol just helps them bring that to the surface.

I knew someone who went on a drunken racist rant advocating for genocide and then later claimed they didn't feel that way really they were just drunk.

Stopped hanging with them. No regrets.

I'm the happiest, chattiest drunk. I'm a very anxious person but alcohol makes me feel not anxious, so I just get kind of emotional and love everything ever. I've never advocated for genocide after a few beers.

Yeah, alcohol is almost like a truth serum. It allows you to do the stupid stuff you want to do but know better normally. It doesn't make you a different person, it makes you the real you that you usually hide. Normally that person knows that advocating genocide will get him frowned at, but enough alcohol and he doesn't care anymore!

When I would get drink I just wanted to watch music videos and sing along. Maybe go hang out at a park or around a fire.

Not true, unfortunately. I am now an old man, and I have recently started occasionally getting hangovers midway through an evening out.

Edit: when I say evening out, I mean sitting in the garden, drinking dry martinis with my wife

Edit edit: alright, warm gin on my own, sitting on the sofa in my pants
