I only drink when I want to drink

and I only get drunk when I want to get drunk

..don't see where the problem is

I'm the same, although I don't get drunk, but I see no harm in a beer or 3 when I feel like it.

Having said that, some people do turn into azz holes when they do drink.


Talking about my ex bf again? Lol

Yes some do get mean. That it why I avoid tequila

What are the chances of this happening?
If your answer is, most likely, can I buy you a double?

I feel that becoming intoxicated does cause uncharacteristic behavior for some, and for others it brings out the "devil" within them. Me? If I am buzzed or drunk, then you'll see an even funnier me....an easier me.....oh wait....did I just get raped? scared :laughing:

Oddly, Tequila causes more of a personality change than other types of booze.

Maybe it's the worm?

and wine as well apparently. I remember a while back there being a article in the news paper warning young women to not drink wine, but I cant remember why. but I have heard of young women going nutty drinking wine and they were fine with other alcoholic drinks.

Some fundamentals on all this:

* each person's chemistry is different. There is no consistency in what happens for a given amount of alcohol from one to the next because of this. And since different drinks contain different chemicals (wine different from beer, and artificially preserved beverages contain different chemicals than non-preserved ones), there will be even more variation from one person to the next.

* because each person is different, the old saying "en vino veritas" is functionally complete balderdash. Believing it, causes at least as many falsehoods to be believed, as truths to be revealed. Usually more falsehoods than truths.

* there is a very serious difference between legal responsibility, and functional responsibility. This is where some of the more dangerous questions of social interaction can get confused.

* the difference between a medicine and a poison is often not inherent the substance itself. Even water will poison you if you drink too much of it too quickly.

A few people above have waxed self-righteous on this whole area of discussion. They are mistaken in doing so.

Declaring that since drink CAN have negative results, that anyone who drinks at all is to be blamed for anything and everything that happens to them, is vicious and unconscionable.

Each person's responsibilities to each other remain unchanged, regardless of who has done what. That is, the fact that the man or woman you are dealing with has made a bad choice, NEVER makes it morally right for you to take unjust advantage of them.

This is why I prize a personal sense of honor above all else.

And it also answers one of the OP's more unpleasant questions, as to if there a difference "between a drinking female who goes home with a guy, undresses, and lays in bed with him

and a girl who drinks, lets a guy walk her home, and then gets assaulted."

The answer is, in a way, no. In both cases, what the GUY does, is due entirely to whether or not he has a personal and positive sense of honor. Not to what the woman does or doesn't do.

We can reverse the scenario a bit, for clarity:

Instead of it being about sex, make it about money. What is the difference between a woman who deals with an intoxicated male, and accepts him giving here all of his money because he's so plastered that it seems like a good idea to him.. and a woman who goes home with the drunk male and rifles his house and pockets for cash before leaving him there?

No. Not in the most important sense. Not from her point of view. In both cases, SHE knowingly took unfair advantage of an incapacitated person for selfish reasons.

I heard of people who are happy drunks and people who are nasty drunks. What would you call that? That's not judgement, that's behavior.



I think it has to do with the underlying personality, sober they can hide their true self, drunk their inner person tends to be revealed as inhibitions are lowered.
