I don't ever get hangovers. I'm Polish :lol: Don't drink that often though. When I'm 18 I guess I'll go down the pub and out to clubs, can't be bothered sneaking in underage :p

I don't bother sneaking into clubs underage either, but the local club down town actually sells alcohol underage - you don't even have to show I.D! Just ask for a pint and they give you one and that's when the club is hired for sixthform parties.
Yeah tesco near me never ask for ID. I don't look old enough though :p Plus drinking at home is comfier :lol: Yes I am lazy :o
Can't afford to go out as I live too far away from a pub, which means lots of dosh for a taxi, therefore we drink at home most of the time; unfortunately soft drinks are more expensive than beer :angry: I wish pubs and clubs would change that, it would stop a lot of drinking and driving, I am sure.
That puts me to shame my pub is only up the road so is Tesco :o I agree taxis are so expensive there is a £5 charge even before you are in the cab (and it's been a while since I've been in one!) I normally take the bus luckily there is a 24 hour one near me.
haha thats what my housemate said! i just want to experience one once in my life! although saying that i dont actually want to feel like dying lol!Quote:

It would just take the fun away of your 18th and thinking yes I can finally go to a Pub or Club... so I'm happy to wait and drink at house parties for now :)
Although we do get served when we have out Sixth Form Parties haha
Sadly, I ALWAYS get hangovers! It's horrible :( My new ritual is come in and if I'm quite bad then make myself a cup of tea and toast come on here and wait until I'm soberish :) Haha
The only time I tried to get into a club, I got in :D They didnt even look
The one's near me check for ID and they have scanner light things so they can check it's authentic! :thumbsdow
Thats good in way, but not if you want to get.Quote:

Yeah I don't particularly have the need or want at the moment. I don't really feel peer pressure. A few friends tried to get me to smoke once but I was just like - no. And that was the end of it :p
I'll come buy you drink Abbie. In 5 months. :lol:
Yay :cheer: We should all go to a pub :p
i always have cheese and orange juice when i get in after a night out before i go to bed (well mostly anyway!), and i had a glass of milk one time, that helped when the room was spinning!Quote:

Water makes me feel sick after a night on the lash. Its bad enough getting out of bed to go to the loo without adding another pint on top :lol:
Water only helps me, BE sick
One rule for drinking : never mix chocolate cake with alcohol. I did this on my birthday when I was really drunk. I ate the majority of my birthday cake and I was eventually sick about 5 times...my lesson has been learnt.
If you eat the majority of your cholcolate birthday cake, you are bound to be poorly, whether you have alcohol or not. :lol:Quote:

Hmm .. out for the third night in a row... I think I need to sort myself out a bit or isn't that too bad?
It's not bad at all, lots of people go on benders at a weekend.
Wait till you get to uni and you're drinking six nights out of seven. As long as you're not drinking to excess i.e. throwing up, and its not every weekend, you'll be ok.
Don't really think your doing anything wrong there davey lol
I go for an hour to the pub every night or every other night after work for an hour with friends. Its just to be social we drink a few drinks then home for dinner some people say its too much for us its just social
Person I work with is constantly drinking. After work he just consumes, and on weekends he is generally drunk. I dread to think the state of his liver
My manager is like that he is always at the local Wetherspoons on Stella and at the weekends he is out with his mates. I wonder sometimes how he manages to hold down a job and marriage as I think its starting to affect him. He is starting to fray around the edges a little and if it wasnt for the sunshine I think under his tanned skin his cheeks would be slightly red!
I must say the drink doesn't affect the person I work with. Even drunk he is more intelligent than most. I put is down to him being left handed
lol my manager he is smartest person when drunk he always seems to able to hold an in depth conversation with you eventhough he has had many shots of southern comfort washed down by stella!
I am still worried about how much I drink. I can't help but be really paranoid, so I'm not going to drink for 7 days.
I am such a worrier, but after that 19 year old boy had liver failure after one weekend of binge drinking, I grow extremely concerned about my health and the amount that I drink.
I can understand why that story would make you worry but im sure you have nothing to worry about, how much do you drink?
In a week, I usually go out three nights on average and I drink about 6 whiskys and 4 pints altogether...
This week I have drank half a bottle of wine, a bottle of Corona, a pint of Stella, a pint of Bulmers and 5-7 whiskys..
I don't know if that's bad? I feel like it is! It will be refreshing to not drink for a week anyway :)
Im sure thats not bad, to reassure you, you can always check the units.
I go weeks without drinking and cos I go weeks without drinking Im never that sure on units
I think that you are within the 21 units limit, Davey, but it would probably be good to give your liver a rest every now and again :)
It was more than just one weekend of binge drinking that brought his liver failure on. If it were the case, 90% of the students in the UK would need new livers.Quote:

Unit calculator to see how much you're drinking.
Sorry I don't mean to be rude but were do you all get the money to drink so much in a week. When I was 16-18 I only went out friday and saturday night as that was all I could afford. I don't want to preach to you especially the ones who have just left home for uni for the first time, but have you thought about not drinking at all during the week, only at weekends.
That is so true Kath, when I was a student I only went out at the weekend.
I am thinking about how much of my hard earned cash I am going to have to give my boys when they go to uni (eldest will start next year) and I really would rather that they earned whatever they spent on going out.
I am planning on paying for catered halls (first year), books, travel, gym I don't know what else.
How much do other folks get from their parents. I had added it up and came to about £7.5K p.a in term time. They can either come home in the vacation or get a job (or preferably both!)
I don't think that it is unreasonable for them to get a saturday job or something to pay for nights out - what do you think?
In Scotland we do not have to pay tuition fees (although the English students do, they are half the price of the ones in England).
I have looked at the loans that the boys could take out and they are limited to £915 p.a.
The only problem with catered halls is that you have to be there during a certain time frame to get anything decent to eat.
My parents don't give me anything, which is my choice. I'd rather learn to stand on my own two feet now and budget and live within my means than rely on my parents. I get enough maintenance loan and grants to live on so my situation is different from yours.
All in last year, including loan, grant, bursary and overdraft I spent almost 8k. But I did buy things I didn't need, too many takeaways etc. I could have easily cut my outgoings down.
i blame the cheap drinks offers that are always going around for this surge in binge drinking. pints for a £1, a shot and mixer for £1, doubles for £2, glass of wine for £2.50, a bottle of wine for £4. Is it any wonder people get drunk so much?
