I did that whole 'party' thing twice. Hated it both times so havent drunk alcohol since about 2002.

This seems weird to me, since I don't like parties either...

 

[FortyTwo]

Sorry to disillusion you, but that is not the way drunk people work.

Actually, it has in the past. Unless they lied. Though I think they were far too drunk at that point to lie.

Also in real life. I'm a troll of the highest degree...

Most songs I sing are already old. I couldn't do a cartwheel sober though. Or rather, survive one.

If I tried to do a cartwheel now, I'd probably just look like this:

After my divorce I spent at least an entire year where I was drunk every night. I continued to drink after that, but not as heavily.
In the last 7 or so years I haven't drank more than a 12 pack total, but that's just because I got tired of the bars and lost touch with my drinking buddies. (I don't drink alone and I'm lucky enough not to have an "addictive" personality).
But I'd have no problem with hanging one on if the occasion called for it.

It all depends on what you enjoy.

I have done cartwheels when I've been drunk.

I have done cartwheels when I've been drunk.

Me too. And walked (staggered?) on my hands drunk, too.

at least you know your boundaries and whatnot.

Once when I was drunk I tipped over a car with some girls in it - it was a small car - even though it was a stupid thing to do I'm still kind of impressed that I was able to do it.
Opened a door from the hinged side by accident once also.

I used to be an excellent cartwheeler, well into my forties...I'm afraid to do one now...I'm sure I CAN still do one, but I'm afraid I would break something!

I enjoy drinking but firmly believe moderation should be exercised and it should be done sensibly. It is a skill to be able to drink just enough to have fun but not so much you are throwing up in a nightclub sink. Water must be drank too, food must be eaten earlier, and people must not be pressured, also transport must be pre-arranged, also people must be mindful of being in "that" mood, a sort of edgy, cranky mood which does not mix well with alcohol, would be better to stay home and recharge, or just not drink.

I have always wanted to write a handbook on drinking etiquette : )

I have made a lot of mistakes with drinking so I could easily write a good list of "donts".

I don't ever want to drink alcohol myself, but I don't care if other people do (unless people are being hurt). They should probably be more careful, you're right about that.

Still, sometimes a night of lying flat in the dirt and waiting for my head to stop feeling like a tornado so I can crawl home is the only way I see the sunrise.

I suppose that works if you'd rather see the sunrise with a bunch of magic marker mustaches and images of genitalia drawn on your face.

Never happened to me, but after an employee picnic at the jet boat races I did have my boss put an 8 x 10 photo of me passed out in a bed of prickle pear cactus (with a beer in my hand) on the wall of a bar.

That should learn ya!

It was a hot day and beds of prickly pear cactus are a lot more comfortable than people would think. I still hold that I was actually just taking a short siesta to recover from the heat.

Everyone gets off on different things. That bed of nails in my basement is just to toughen me up a bit.
