My typical weekend:
I finish work at half two on a Friday, so I get home, have a shower, get changed and do my hair. I'll be in the Boozer for 6, straight on the bevvy and that's me in the Pub until shutting. I'll usually find somewhere to go after they shut and this will always involve even more drinking and, with a bit of luck, other 'nocturnal' activities
I'll wake somewhere on a Saturday, but I always ensure i'm home in plenty time to get ready for the Hibs game. I'll either wake up still steaming or feeling utterly disgraceful and racked with guilt. Assuming Hibs are away, i'll meet up with my mates and get straight on the bevvy. A trip away usually becomes an all-day drinking session and I usually end up home afterwards pretty steaming. I'll have a shower, get changed, do the hair then head straight back out. Saturday is similar to Friday, only a helluva lot messier. I never go home on a Saturday night, there's always somewhere to go at shutting time. These parties are always extremely messy. Awesome
So Sunday I return home. Usually around 11. By now i'll probably be starving and shattered. I'll have an hours sleep, a shower, a change of clothes and head to the Pub. I'll usually start on a juice because i'm so hungover, but then it dawns on me that i'm working the following morning, work isn't very enjoyable, but i've money to get pissed so I may aswell start drinking again. That's usually me out until about 12, then I drag my sorry arse home.
Monday, i'm basically dying. I've barely had 15 hours sleep since Thursday, the food i've eaten at the weekend has came from a chippy, the chinky or McDonalds and the majority of my fluid intake was alcohol. Great. That's my body ruined until Wednesday. ''Never again'' is the cry on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Then Thursday comes... ''Ya Dancer, pay day!!! Plans for the weekend then lads?!''
And we start again. And I wouldn't change any of it. I've tried staying in, but it's, to be perfectly honest, boring. Even moreso when you realise that your mates are out getting wasted and firing right into birds.
You're only young once. Enjoy it. PARTYYYYY!!

I occasionally go out with the intention of getting rat arsed. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, if you've had a stressful week its some peoples idea of letting loose and having a good time. Hardly makes us "tools."

I usually go out with the intention of getting drunk and if I wake up and remember everything I feel I didn't drink that much but that can be 10+ drinks.
Occasionally I go out with the intention of getting totally rat arsed and won't remember anything. Awful but I am not going to change that. My attitude is that I am young and can get away with it without getting fat, losing my job or getting an earful from my other half. I love being young
I realise I quoted you but only the start relates to what you've said just thought I'd give my two cents.

I try to avoid clubs because I don't like the absolute knobends that go ( of course, I'm no talking about the people on here)
The places are full of you've been tangoed women and guys who think they are hilarious jumping in front of a camera and screaming "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeey", and then they will all pop 100000000 photo's up on facebook everyone has to see.
Also the fact I look like I'm having a fit or a heart attack when I dance makes going to nightclubs really stressful
The last reason is my old group of mates were complete dicks who wouldn't keep their mouths shut, would cause a whole lot of bother, and then try to get out of it because they would be ****ting themselves. Wasn't worth the hassle.
If I had a group of alright mates, could shake off my dance "fit", and had an attraction to the oompa loompa women, then I'd probably go

IMO people are too uptight about everything these days. I rarely drink, regularly go to a club sober and have had some of the best nights. I wasn't brought up on this "you have to drink to have fun culture" that alot of my friends have. Yes there is the odd occasion that I do drink, tonight for example is one of my best mates 19th and I have a crap week! due to not drinking so often I am ridiculously lightweight but it means I spend next to no money and enjoy the rare occasion I drink.
Im with The Story So Far... on this one. The worst is when your out and see girls completley out their face not being able to hold themselves up, trying to get with as many guys as possibly is a complete turn off! And how so many guys think once they have had a drink they become the hardest man in the world! Fair that alot of this is due to the places I go out.
Instead of going out drinking I see no problem in just relaxing with friends/family/the girlfriend, having a night in, getting a chinese and watch a couple movies or play a bit of Xbox or go out on a random drive somewhere. Many of my friends think it's boring because they aren't out drinking and getting hammered?! They don't even give it a chance! If they go out and spend £40 on a night out then why not try going bowling or something? You spend atleast half of what you normally would and can actually have fun at the same time....

I mean activities, unfortunately, I can't think of many activities that I'd like to do at the weekend that can draw enough interest. You can go go-karting but it needs numbers and is generally expensive, all of my mates would rather go to the pub and spend their cash there.
So what do you do if you want to pursue other interests if all your mates are pissheads as well?
I completely understand where you are coming from about binge drinking, I go out to socialise and the drink is a bonus that adds fuel to the fire, I have the best laughs getting drunk with my mates, everyone loosens up and you get a great craic that will never be beaten by 6 guys sitting around in a coffee shop sober.
The drink also makes you talk about the funniest **** that makes you embarrased to go out the house and face your mates the next day but when it hits that Friday you do it all again.
I understand where you're coming from about the Monday morning, trust me, I know, I went with a burd that I wouldn't do sober with someone elses **** and then got myself barred from a bowling club for being excessively loud! They didn't kick me out, they just told the guy who signed me in that I wasn't allowed back!
On Sunday about 7pm I nipped down to my aunts for a lend of cash to stay out and my wee cousin (18) was boxing training out in the garden, I decided it would be a good idea to have a wee sparring session despite knowing that he's had a few fights and won them, a sare gut and a burst lip later means lesson learned on that idea!
But it was still a great weekend and I genuinely can't think of a sober activity that can rival it.Last edited by Woody1985; 07-05-2010 at 10:37 AM.

Some of the things i've done when i've been on the lash is unreal. Some of it goes down as 'legendary' by those who know me, other things are quite simply embarassing.
Some of the best times i've ever had have been when i've been absolutely blitzed off the bevvy by the way
Anyway, who else's weekend will comprise being pissed tonight, tomorrow evening/night and an all day session on Sunday for the Hibs game?!

They Air Crash Investigations are an hours worth of self harm likes.
Read this and try and not reach for a drink...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kegworth_air_disaster
The captain shut down the wrong engine cos he couldn't tell which one was on fire, and nobody on the plane, not even the crew thought to tell him, cos they trusted his judgement, but he hadn't had the correct training on the brand new aircraft - Ultimately leading to 47 fatalities.
Anyway I take back my earlier gripe about you not buying the rounds. I vaguely recall 1 night at yours when I drank you out of house and home then ****ed off when the bevvy ran oot.
Joints on taxi floors ?

I cut down on the bevvy about 8 months ago because it was so closely linked to another addiction i was/am dealing with(not drugs). I still enjoy a beer now and then and on special occasions i will still enjoy one too many but my days of losing entire weekends to getting off my face are finished.
There is plenty to do that doesn't involve getting absolutely wasted if your willing to use your imagination. I go out for meals regularly at the weekends now, go to the pictures, go away hill walking for the whole weekend, go mountain biking all weekend, i also do a bit of charity work some weekends.
I don't think it's right to have a go at people that do spend most of their weekend getting wasted as it's so much a part of British culture it's pretty much the norm. However i find that whilst i thought i was having the time of my life when i was doing it since i've stopped and after the first couple of weekends i really don't miss it at all. The nights when i do go out and have a few are much more enjoyable now because it's less of a ritual and more of an event. I can happily content myself staying in at the weekend and have found that since stopping binge drinking every weekend and finding new interests i have actually met considerably more women, most of whom are more interesting and more of a laugh than the amber traffic lights that frequent clubs in town.

It's quite funny reading all these accounts of mad weekends from the younger guys. I'm thinking that at 34 I'd toil big time but it was only 15 years ago I was doing the same thing...along with most other people.
It's mainly about socialising with mates at that age and the pub/drink is intertwined.
However, The older you get the less opportunity you will have for nights out...and it's so important to try and separate the alcohol aspect from the actual good times you had. In the future you might associate alcohol with good times and drink to try and get the "good times" back.
Sorry for sounding like an old fart but alcohol is damn dangerous. There are certain things you need to look out for that little bit later in life....little indicators that something is wrong like finding yourself regularly going to pubs on your own.
There's nothing wrong with mad weekends when you're young....as long as you change your outlook and realise that these days are over when your older and have responsibilities.Last edited by Pete; 08-05-2010 at 11:30 PM.

Here's a little update on my weekend and how I managed. I stayed in on Friday night, played around on the net & watched Sons of Anarchy.
Saturday morning, got up and went to Glentress, left here at 09:00. When I got there I couldn't be arsed and wished I'd just stayed in my bed.
I did one run down, I did a big jump (about 5/6ft) and went over the edge of one of the steep drops down the side of one of the trails, over the handle bars, just missed a massive tree stump and came to rest against another tree with my legs tangled in the bike with it on top of me and lots of jaggy bushes. I don't think I've ever flapped it so much in my life (I never had a helmet on either).
Anyway, I continued with the run and then when we got to the bottom and returned to the top car park I just wasn't in the mood for cycling so I came home for around 12:30pm although I felt really fresh and in a good mood.
I text my mate on the way home, he was in the boozer and asked me to come along but I refused! I met him around 3pm and we got a carry oot and sat in his back garden with a few cans when the sun was out. I was home by half 10 last night and had just completely lost interest in drinking/
I don't know if that was because it ended up with just 3 or us and we were in a house and not out but the point is, I managed to drink far less than I would any other weekend and I felt great on Saturday. I might give it another try!

I've never been into the whole "sitting in the pub" thing - I don't mind going and having a couple of drinks, watching the football through the week etc, but sitting drinking for the sake of drinking (again, in relation to severe excess and not just socially) makes no sense to me. Night-clubs tend not to cater for my rather obscure musical tastes and I despise most of the pish which gets played in these places - perhaps if I were drunk, It wouldn't bother me so much, but I don't see it as a worthwhile sacrifice.
I enjoy going out for dinner with my other half, going to the cinema, going to the theatre (cue the cries of "homo!" ), having BBQ's, cooking for mates, movie nights, xbox nights, spending time with friends/family (who do drink, but if the company/conversation is good enough, drink just isn't necessary (for me anyway)).
I don't feel there's any way that drinking would enrich my social life - I'm better off financially, remember how I spend my weekends, never suffer from these infamous hangovers and don't fall victim to a culture where weekends without alcohol are deemed as wasted. No doubt I'll be branded as dull, boring etc because I chose NOT to drink, but each to their own - I chose not to drink, but I hold no opinions on those who do (unless, as mentioned above, it's consistent binging).Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.
