With apologies to Bill Cosby, there are all kinds of drunks. This is not to say there are all kinds of alchoholics, which while true, is a little too dperessing to discuss here. What I am asking is this: what are you like when intoxicated? Are you happy go lucky, take it as it comes? Are you a climb up on the bar and shake your booty kind of boozer? Do you succumb to morose observations about the futility of human experience? Are you giddy? Sloppy? Do you get clumsy? Are you among the many who, when drunk, vehemntly object to any inference that you might be a little under the influence? Do you get chatty? QUiet and removed? What's your alchoholically or herbally induced modus operendi, in general? I am looking here for a divergence from your normal beaviour...so T_J need not post about how, when drunk, he mentally dominates paper clips or laundry baskets or whatever. We all take that as a given. I managed and tended bars for years, and there are several points of interest, but I will make one observation; If there is a difference between what you think you behave like when inhebriated and what your friends say your like, please post the latter... As for myself...when drunk on booze, which is very, very rare, I tend to get somewhat philosophical, but when prompted, get into dancing and carrousing to a degree. Usually, though, I just feel really easy going and 'whatever' about most things. When on herbal substances, it's pretty much always the same; I lose focus on other people and conversations and sort of happily float on music, whether that's physically on the dance floor, or mentally anywhere else. I have a hard time keeping track of what people are saying to me, and probably do a lot of empty nodding and hollow responses like " Uh...yeah." to questions like " What did you do last weekend?" I also become incredibly aware of my body, on an internal sense,. and it seems that I can feel I have to go to the washroom for hours before the event takes place, and when i go, I always feel like I was in the bathroom for 2 days, and am surprised that when I emerge there aren't search parties ot for me.
I would like to think I'm the happy go lucky guy, but I'm afraid I'm the type that thinks I'm a total bad azz and can kick anyone's azz...which is true when I'm sober...
Oh, Canada! I wish it weren't so damn cold... I'd move the family up there. I don't drink too often any longer, due to medication I take, but I would fit into the "Gets happier, gets in an even better mood, get's 'philosophical' if there is anyone around to be philosophical with... in short, I am a fun drunk. Oh, I almost forgot... gets very romantic! I have some good friends that aren't always that way. Some of them get maudlin and/or sad... talking about a lost love. or a lost pet, or a lost something. Some can get angry at the drop of a hat. I don't know many of those, since I try to stay away from drinkers of that ilk. I did a little bartending ages ago and the one's who go through a radical change, from nice as can be to potentially violent, are the worst. That's my opinion... I could be wrong.
I'm generally happy go lucky with a dose of eagerness for activity and action of any kind. I want to do something... anything I want excitement of somekind. Sometimes I'm morose and surly, other times I become dry and on the border of insulting, sometimes I like to be loud and boisterous kind of like a pirate. Generally though I just like to have a good time when intoxicated.
yeah, no kidding. I rarely get drunk at all, partly cause I have never found it easy to do, and parly cause I donlt like the taste of booze that much. I got herbally enhanced last night, but it was the first time since the summer, I believe. It's not like i'm taking hits off of a honey bear bottle...
I would like to think I'm a happy drunk. But my g/f says that I can get down right evil. But thats only if she upsets me...If not I become this animal and i try to have sex with her no matter where we are at or who is watching...
Yeah, sorry . I'll give away my DSL modem again tomorrow morning, until the end of the month. Just got it back to change some reservations online and stuff, and haven't gotten anything done ever since!
Lol! Nice pic, but I am getting increasingly concerned about the growing similarities between you and T_J, in terms of posting style.
I hate the "you know?" drunks. Every freaking sentence out of their mouths is spliced with these words. They say it so often it's like their trying to make themselves out to be much smarter than the person their "you know"-ing to. I always want to get in an answer and say, "nah...i dunno" or "yea...i know". These are the basic responses to that question. I can only handle so much of that "you know" stuff..."you know?". It's bad enough when sober people say it...mostly when their nervous or just finished a cup of their favorite beverage-inducing high(coffee). I find it to be a very annoying habit for someone to have in their vocabulary. Of course, it's a question and you don't often get a chance to answer unless sayer is chugging his/her beer in a beer break/pause of the rant. Those words are like some kind of social deviance to me. I can't figure out why it would be used so often unless it's to play on the recipient. I know...it's just some people's way. It's equivalent to a drunk who slurs his/her words often. Usually, the "u-know" and slur is working together in parallel and tandem. It's at this point that I have to turn my hearing off and respond with head nods while being pre-occupied elsewhere. I consider myself a cool drunk...never too much cause I see what happens and it isn't pretty, folks. You have to be a partipant drunk and I consider myself a socially acceptable drunk. I'm sure we have all experienced are uncool drunk counterparts out there among the nuts and bolts. ThEiR oUt ThErE. PaRtY oN...yOu KnOw? Surf
