Demon Alcohol

[R4tfink]

It always makes me laugh when people are "drunk" on Miller lite or Coors lite around here...lol I mean come on, this is water, this is not even beer, how can you be drunk with that??

Some of my friends in Ireland drink that shit, even normal Miller is water. I dunno how many of those things I'd need to get drunk, possibly run out of money before that.

The Mller brewery would be in danger of going out of business.

Drunken Irish hooligan!

No kidding...ever noticed how they don't put the alcohol percentage on those "beers"? On a Leffe or Grimbergen or any belgian/german beer you can see the alcohol percentage, and usually it's pretty high. Good thing they don't drink Leffe triple (it's like 8%)...

[Mattgnr]

You can only get Leffe in half pints in my area - i always tick with Stella or Fosters when i have football the following day.

I always find, that if you drink a pint of water before you get to sleep, you won't wake up with a headache - the water seems to inflate your brain after the alcohol shrinks it 

[Will]

Yeah I noticed that too, that's especially a good advice when you drink champagne!

I woke up the next morning to my very first hangover,

Did anybody else here have a certain moment where the novelty of getting drunk wore off and they thought maybe they'd better adjust their behaviour a little bit?

Your very FIRST hangover?  and you're in University?

Sure I've had these "moments" before.  You feel like some big revelation has been made and say you're going to stop drinking.  It probably won't happen though, next weekend the guys will be heading out to the bar, and you'll have recovered.

You can't let drinking take you over though.  Mattman in particular doesn't really need to worry about that yet... if it's the first time having a hangover, and he remembers what happened the night before, he's not in deep shit yet.  Wait for those times when you blackout, that can get scary as hell.

As Slash says "A man's got to know his limitations".

That's actually some good advice.............realistic and from someone who's been there.........

Mattman........if I were you, I'd give credence to what Sky said and ignore the AA bullshit......

[Will]

Your very FIRST hangover?? and you're in University?

Yeah, mine was like ten years ago, long before College...I'm glad I didn't have too many. I've never gotten aggressive because of alcohol though, so I guess that's one good thing.

when the weekend hits, i cant help myself

Sometimes I can?t even wait for the weekend, and I get drunk on the most unusal days and hours, I?ve been drunk on a wednesday before 4pm for instance...last week for example, I got drunk on monday and had at least one alcoholic drink every day....am I flirting with alcoholism?

I have a lot to celebrate anyway.

i feel bad for people that can't handle beer, and don't get to enjoy it. when you don't let it control you, it's a very fun social activity.

like a great man once said, "i feel bad for people that don't drink, cause when they get up in the morning that's the best they're gonna feel all day".

Alcohol effects everybody different. They teach you that way back in jr high. You know that.

Not everybody is as 'strong' as you. 

I watch people drink and from what I see, the majority of people are pretty 'weak' when it comes to alcohol. Most people should not drink IMO.

i see the total opposite. it's a very small percentage of people that are not able to control alcohol. those people should not drink.

most people are able to have a couple drinks socially and have a fun time with it.

and most people that drink can and do have alot of fun times without drinking alcohol. but there are certain times that are just so much fun because you have a bunch of people drinking together - wedding receptions, graduation parties, etc. where without the alcohol loosening everyone up, it wouldn't be as much fun.

i've been on a 15 day binge,over $1500 gone, we all party'd for weeks on some occasion, now i try n' stick to weekends, but the occasional week night is ok,  but it's hard for me to beleive my body still functions

It's impossible for me to get drunk with beer. My body eliminates more alcohol then I can put in me

[Mattman]

Yeah.? Although I've gotten drunk a bunch of times before, I never woke up with a hangover.? That was nice.

Sure I've had these "moments" before.? You feel like some big revelation has been made and say you're going to stop drinking.? It probably won't happen though, next weekend the guys will be heading out to the bar, and you'll have recovered.

I'm starting to think you're right, Sky.? The day after the incident, I was pretty screwed up.? Depressed, and for some reason I didn't get to sleep until 5:45 AM Sunday night.? I couldn't sleep, and I felt like I was on drugs even though I wasn't - felt like I was dreaming, even though I was awake.? It was pretty fuckin' weird.? Monday I started to feel better, and now Tuesday I feel fine.? So maybe you're right...maybe next weekend I'll feel like drinking again.? Still, the whole thing kinda freaked the shit out of me.? Being an aggressive drunk has never gotten me in trouble before, it was just a fun way to let off steam.? But that night it did get me in trouble.? I'd like to think I'll smarten up next time, but if I'm under the influence again, will I think, "nah, better not tell this drunk black belt to fuck off"?? Or will I do it again?? I hope not.

As Slash says "A man's got to know his limitations".

Didn't Dirty Harry say that?? Either way, it was what I was thinking the morning after.

I guess idolizing Ozzy Osbourne had its benefits for me, because watching him go through the shit he's been through with alcohol, I never wanted to touch it.? Speaking of Ozzy, this was a great title for this thread, since "Demon Alcohol" is the title of an Ozzy song.? And there's a dead-on line in the song which says it all...

Although that one's too much, you know ten's not enough....

What album is that song on?? I have put on "Suicide Solution" before as a good song when I'm in the paranoid, depressed and/or angry stage of drunkenness, or even in the fun stage.  You wouldn't think it would make a good drinking song, but whattaya know.

I might as well say here that my favourite song to drink to is GN'R's "Nightrain".  Do I have any agreements on that? 

[Dizzy]

What album is that song on?? I have put on "Suicide Solution"

"Demon Alcohol" is on Ozzy's 1988 album No Rest for the Wicked.  It's kind of like a sequel to "Suicide Solution".  He even mentions the latter in the song lyrics of "Demon Alcohol".

Don't speak of suicide solutions..

haha, yea right.

The last guy I heard say that puked all over himself.

Good one though.

Did anybody else here have a certain moment where the novelty of getting drunk wore off and they thought maybe they'd better adjust their behaviour a little bit?

I started to think maybe drinkin' too much wasn't the solution after I got beat up bad and needed a visit to the hospital.

The last straw was wheno once again I was totally wasted, and my friend had never seen me like that, and the funny part was that I haven't even drunk that much, so we figured that someone (or something:)) had put something extra to that beer I had.

So a lot of my stuff went missing and I felt like shit next morning, not because of the stuff, but because I was so.. vulnerable or something. So I decided to stop there and sit down and think. Before it was drinkin' games, blackouts, girls and fights. And about calling my friends next morning for the nights details.

So I calmed down a bit, I still drink, but not totaled, just in that drunken state where everyone is having fun and being able to play. And the best part after I cut down the alcohol is that I've had more real relationships and my life is healthier, too.

Only bad trade off when drunk is, that I'm a bit more agressive and won't step down a challenge. But sometimes that have been a good thing.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

I remember one time making a trip to another state to pick up the liquer called EVERCLEAR.  The 95% alcohol 190 proof drink that burns blue. I drank a whole bottle of it while watching some movie at the movie theatre......


I woke up about 12 hours later home in my bed. Dirt and little rocks stuck in my skin. Cuts on my handss. I wondered what happened in them hours and found out.


We went to Steak N Shake where I ordered 3 kids meals for some reason and didnt eat any of them, and I was threatening people and breaking plates on the ground. Having the cops called on me.

Threatened my friends and tried fighting them at my house.

Threw up all over the drive way and crawled through gravel.

Got rolled over on my back a few times so I didnt pull a Bon Scott.

Had good enough friends to take care of me and bring me into my room.

Woke up 12 hours later with a headache and in pain and that was the last time I was "drunk" . Although I still drink I usually only drink 1 maybe 2 beers while at the bar for 3-4 hours.

You're full of shit................

If you actually travelled to another State to get some booze, then I'd imagine that you'd be picking up more than a flask. Otherwise the trip itself wouldn't make much sense now would it? Jesus! Even a twenty-sixer would seem a little frivolous.........

In any case, if you drank a 'whole bottle' of that shit - i.e. a 26 or 40 ouncer - you'd have to get fuckin' pumped out..............

Moreover, I seriously doubt that you dragged a 26 or 40 ouncer into a movie theatre with ya........... ...........where did you hide it? In your fucking sock?..........

So, we now come come back to one of only two conclusions (one of which I already covered in the first line of this post......... ), and that's the flask.............

Yes you could have easily smuggled a flask into a theatre. Previous experience on my part tells me that. However, unless you're some kinda fucked-up mutant with the constitution of a cast-iron pot-belly stove, you just ain't gonna polish off a flask of 95% alcohol............

Let me tell ya a little story...............

Friday past, a buddy of mine came back to the Rock from Alberta for a visit. So we all got together - the boys - and had a party of sorts (in other words, about 10 fella's got together and just drank). My buddy had brought a 26er of Absinth (70% alcohol) with him. Now this shit is horrible. It's like a mutated form of Scope. Actually more like Listerine. Scope has the potential to taste good. Listerine is horrible. Anyway, we all had at least one shot of it - I had two, and would have preferred to have a rabid beaver gnawing away on my nuts for an hour rather than have another shot of the 'Demon Alcohol' - and one guy in particular was brave enough to have 5................5 fucking shots of this crap that would probably burn a hole in your goddamn sphincter...........

Now this guy is a 250 pound beer monster. Not too many people around here can hold what he can hold, or actually give less of a fuck about they ingest. And he could barely do what he done that night - drink 5 shots - and not only that, before he drank his dozen beer (which is pretty much the minimum that we all take to a so-called 'party') he was flattened. END OF STORY.

So...............assuming that you're not a mutant, I'm gonna say one more time - you're full of shit..............

.......................unless of course you have some other, cogent explanation............

And if you actually try to retell your story (you know, the one about travelling to another State to pick up a bottle of booze), please make the bottle at least a 40 ouncer.........anything less just wouldn't be worth the effort.............
