I'm drunk!

living up to the i'm drunk thread now, but it just feels like getting your mind blown in that pure of a way is so much more rarer now. if that happened now it would be on gawker the next day with a giant picture - "look at this sincere teen, annotate the picture", 31,328 views, and then you'd have to go on tumblr and poke fun at yourself. everything that is mindblowing has been on the internet for at least 3 years, so to experience it new and spontaneously is just kind of embarrassing, especially in public.

MILLENNIALS, there i said it, but yet it's not really their fault, it's just the way things are

makes you think. bob marley

in other news i saw julia holter tonight, but opener jessica pratt kinda stole the show. i had never even heard of her before. she played this song and it sounded pretty much the same as this recording, except that for some reason she can't harmonize with her dual-recorded voice live:

Or maybe i dont, idk. It wouldnt be unusual for me to react that way to a beloved, small moment in a song i've heard 10,000,000 times xp to myself

sober but wandering in here anyway

get out, markers

no. he should stay

thanks trees.

mookie

a 64 ct. move

mookie tried to kick me out of the 35 and older thread once because i was too young/mentioned that i feel strong and alert at all times and eat a lot of vegetables.

hahaha

i was right both times tbh

i support the age min. on 35 or older thread because it gives me something tangible to look forward to in 5 years

There will be hairs

u can run for president

i should be president.

you can't be president until you can successfully convince your gf that mick jagger is not a terrible misogynist. i believe that's somewhere in the federal papers

1.) you can't take any stones lyric at face value. the songs each have different narrators. he even sings in various ridiculous fake american accents most of the time.

2.) the speaker in under my thumb, specifically, is a weasely scoundrel power tripping about bullying his girlfriend. there is nothing cool about anything he is saying and there isn't supposed to be. the point of the song is to showcase the band's power in making you feel what the singer is feeling -- cool, sly, powerful -- while your conscious mind is at the same time repulsed by him. under my thumb is an academic exercise about the seductiveness of music.

my honest opinion is that if you obtained the republican nomination you would get at least 47% of the national vote

I saw Jessica Pratt play in a church the other month and it was utterly transcendent. The acoustics of the place made her sound like about a dozen women singing and playing guitar.

They were not serving beer though, so I could not be drunk, unfortunately.

pretty poor excuse tbh

They don't serve beer at church but that didn't stop the drunk guy who screamed "you're a liar!" during Christmas mass

Solid lols, good work drunks

90 mins since work finished and im tipsy, with a winey picnic ywt to come

you are going to be telling so many stories

About to head home after my first time ever getting really steaming alone in a pub; a wetherspoons no less.

Watching the other solo drinkers has been a fascinating exercise in people-watching, but i cant help but feel that this whole experience signifies some kind of colossal symbolic failure.

Rational voice in my brain telling me that I should cut this behaviour out quick-smart but there's another (louder?) voice that was crying "To the first of many!" as i drained my final glass to the dregs. Feel like this thread is all I'm fit for right now

haha I can't remember the first time I did this but I'm pretty sure it didn't feel like any kind of turning point; tbh I'm usually either doing that or getting steaming alone at home, and the former is surely better.

Take the point, but surely avoiding either scenario would be the reasonable goal here?

Idk, Drinking has recently surpassed getting baked as my poison of choice, feel like there's something inherent in the nature of it (alcohol as a socially acceptable drug that I could comfortably and conceivably abuse for the next 40 years and beyond, maybe) that weirds me out a lot more than when I was just getting high on my own time.

Nm, I'm being melodramatic,getting drunk is of course great fun and I mustn't allow myself to lose sight of that essential truth

nah I shouldn't have been dismissive of your concerns, which are healthy and smart. Just bristling at implied/imagined "oh how tragic these solo pub drinkers are" when it's a key source of pleasure for me!

I'm a "problem drinker". I know it. Before friday I hadn't had a sober day in over a month (sober = not getting drunk, not not drinking). I haven't had a sober week in years. I'm not planning to stop anytime soon/ever but I decided on friday to take a run at the sober week, for various reasons. Broke that today cause the sun is shining (but only by 3 pints). I am totally not in control of my drinking, but the thing is I don't think there was any slippery slope deal where I got drunk in a spoons one time and that was that; just, I come from addicts. I like booze. And I'm not unhappy with it, which is what stops me from being a whisky for breakfast piss yerself drunk like others in my family, I think.

If you're not comfy with it cut it out though, sure. But don't bring your doubts into the drunk thread >:-|

If you can type in paragraphs then 'steaming' it aint imo

Also true

had a long time to work on th formatting tbf

squinting at my laptop like an old person trying to read a menu

Ageist drunk, that's a good luck on you

Anyone who boasts or talks about drinking too much are generally "slack alcoholics".

Google doesnt recognise the term, can you elaborate

If you start talking about it, the magic is gone.

Ah, its like love, movies and humour

Getting into murky waters when you start cavilling about drunken boasting on a thread solely devised to talk about drinking. Boastfulness can frequently be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding aspects of drunkenness, though I wd agree that your common-or-garden "I had 15 pints last night and then I chundered in the bath" quantitive brand of boastfulness is always disgusting in all its forms.

I wasn't having a pop at anyone on this thread. Just thinking aloud and it came out like that. Be nice to see a positive, functional alcoholic thread. If you drink too much and it doesn't make you dysfunctional or a bad person. I drink quite frequently and enjoy it too much to see it as a problem. I am not a violent person and don't become shouty , so it doesn't cause any problems for my family.

Sorry my parents are/were the other type tbh

So was my Dad and I haven't had any communication with him in 20 years. But still managed to integrate the alcoholism in their without being the prick that he was.

there

What are the rewards of being perfect? My wife is terminally ill and my son has autism. All day I work my arse off and reward myself with wine in the evening and get up at 7 and do it again. The drink on the evening works for me and I don't overdo it, but it is a constant.

Well maybe sometimes I do overdo it but still get up at 7.

I drink regularly w/ far less cause so go w/ god afaic.

Oh i wasnt judging on it, ida swapped eithee of em for a functioner in a flash

WHAT IT ISSS
