Not everyone who drinks is an ********, Bungle. Because not everyone who drinks gets drunk. Drunk to me is when it's too much, like 8 pints one evening or whatever, it varies. The effects of alcohol aren't like flicking a switch though. It's possible to have a few drinks and remain in control while at the same time enjoying yourself more than you would have. If I got out for a few with my girlfriend we'll both drink and get a taxi rather than one of us drive, because being sober around people who've had a drink is not fun. In moderation Bungle, in moderation.

I'm not sure what you've been reading but it isn't this thread. I already said I drink, but the conversation is about people getting plastered which DM seems to think is an acceptable form of "entertainment" (and I use the word loosely).

[gernica]

I don't think so. If you need to get drunk to enjoy an event you're probably at the wrong place. In the UK alcohol is banned at football stadiums because of exactly the problems I described

No it isn't. You might want to actually go before you make ignorant comments. You're allowed to drink all you like in the grounds; you can't take your drink to the seating area.

No alcohol can be drunk in site of the pitch http://www.inbrief.co.uk/football-la...nd-the-law.htm

There was a big problem in the past with drunken soccer louts (in fact the UK was infamous for it), that's why these rules were brought in.

This conversation is like arguing with a bunch of three-year-olds when you've taken away their toys. Only a complete Neanderthal would think that getting pissed is a fun night out.

No alcohol can be drunk in site of the pitch That corroborates what I just wrote, and says you were wrong.

Can you just not admit you were wrong/misinformed?

Being inside the turnstiles is within the football stadium.

I have absolutely no problem with people getting plastered as long as they behave themselves. You just don't seem to be able to understand that this is possible as I suspect your only exposure to people drinking on a night out is watching "Blackpool uncovered".

You're splitting hairs. The fact is there is a ban, and for exactly the reasons I described.

As usual, you are banging on about something you have never tried.

Do you like Top Gear, who is your favourite comedian?

[Roxanjbra]

I don't know anyone who gets drunk on 2 pints. I drink 2 pints, when I want to.

I do, I suck at drinking beer. Two pints of vodka and coke and I'm fine though

You are so short sighted when it comes to life it amazes me. How the **** do you have any friends at all with your attitude. You listen to no-one but yourself. Your views on things are the only ones that matter in your mind... I can't imagine what it would be like playing a board game with you.

[iqxdvjgmat]

Everyone is wrong except you, Bungle. Once again.

[maxfieldj1]

WTF is wrong with you people? Binge drinking is BIG BIG problem in the UK. It's causes chaos every single weekend, so much so that there is talk of a minimum price being introduced for alcohol.

You are the sort of people I despise - the sort who don't give a **** about the people around them.

Drinking until you're plastered is a ****ing stupid thing to do. The fact that you all think it's one big laugh says more about you than it does me.

Disgusting.

[sonsayx]

I can't be arsed to read all this, but I get the impression that you think that everyone who drinks, drinks to get drunk (i.e. puking, falling, being a ****). It's perfectly possible to have a few drinks and just have a good time you know. Drinking doesn't mean drunk.

Yes, binging on alcohol is a problem. Your views on most things are narrow-minded so much that every thread you post in causes controversy and practically everyone saying you are wrong.

BUT, you don't ever back down and admit, for once, you are wrong.

What I replied to was that you were wrong, tried to back up your statement, which proved you were wrong, then you turn that into something about me picking holes. Really CBA with you. You are so closed-minded I feel sorry for you.

[rujeltaoser]

This is like a story from a sitcom. Next, Bungle will realize that he is fabricating the point that he is arguing with, apologize and we will love him again.

Someone says: "I like to drink."

Bungle hears: "I like to get snookered and start fights and kill people and rape babies."

Then he argues what he heard.

Disgusting.

This argument is about people getting drunk. I already said several times that I enjoy the odd drink now and again.

Maybe instead of copying and pasting the same inane reply into every thread I participate in you could actually try reading the points made properly?

I'm guessing your mother told you this is how you should feel about drinking?

Why the hell should I back down?

You are so closed-minded I feel sorry for you. How was I "wrong"? I said alcohol is banned in Stadiums and that exactly what the link I posted said. The point I was making is that steps had to be taken in the UK because of the drinking culture.

This, and then what Will said. Read it quite a few times Bungle and lets see if we get the response we should.

Bungle. For the flying spaghetti monster's sake. Read the thread again. Nobody mentioned binge drinking being ok until you brought it into the discussion.

Can you agree on the following please?

1) binge drinking is a problem if it causes harm/distress/problems for others
2) getting tipsy or even drunk while not harming/distressing/causing problems for others is fine and you should not judge these people
