When I get home drunk I drink tree 0.5L bottles of water before I go to sleep and I feel grate in the morning the only thing alcohol does to you is dehydrates you. I have never had a hangover just try it MacAddikt.

not a bad idea, but ive found a much better way to prevent hangovers. a little thing i like to call "mixing the forces". works wonders, and actually gets you to a different level of enibriation..

Ah, I can't stand people who can't handle their alcohol, like my girlfriends roommate, and of course anything that involves my girlfriend has to involve me and so now my night is ruined.
And what is worse, im not drunk, I havn't been drinking, neither has my girlfriend. That pisses me off, oh well theres always thursday.

I can't stand alcohol, but drunks, while they used to annoy me to pieces, can be funny. Some of them. Not in a good way, either. I just can't see the fun behind alcohol. *shrug* Lose control so you can feel iffy and vomit in the morning, only worsening your already lady-frightening breath. And think about it; of all things, why does getting drunk feel fun?

It doesnt feel fun to get drunk, it feels fun to be drunk with people.

Alcohol is good because it kills your inhibitors, so you can do whatever you want without thinking about what other people will think about you if you do it.
I'm an alcoholic, i need to get drunk every 2 weeks or so otherwise i feel shaky and horrible.
I'm not a bad drunk though, i ****ing hate violent drunks. They ruin everything and put a bad name on us alcos. I become alot happier and friendly when drunk...

it also kills your brain cells :rolleyes:

what **** kind of loser needs alcohol to do something without worrying about what other people think, anyway? I drink every once in a long while, but I have 10X more fun at dry parties.

Uptight f*ckers like me, lol
i hate to sound nerdy, but the theory that alcohol kills brain cells has been pretty much discounted. Its more to do with your liver screwing your body around so the brain doesnt get the nutrients it needs, etc. But if you keep you liver and internal organs in good condition aside from the occasional hanging, your brain should keep pretty much intact
