I think I need to give up the booze...
as basically I'm a hopeless drunk.
I went out on Sunday to do a pub quiz (few beers, nothing mad) but as per usual, I got stupidly drunk.
We went on to a bar when it had finished to look at girls and at that point, I was still pretty sober, but a combination of Cider and Rum rendered me useless come the wee small hours.
I got asked to leave as I was swaying wildly whilst listening to jazz on my ipod.
ANyway, I got a cab home and realised I couldn't find my key. very foolishly I had taken it off the key ring prior to going out as I didn't want to be weighed down. what the hell, man?
So, I basically walked up and down my street for about an hour looking for the key, to no avail.
I ended up knocking on my next door neighbours asking to sleep on their sofa. they said no way! it was 5am, ffs. what the hell, man?
Lots of the night is just a blur, but I remember falling over on some railings and a chap on a pushbike (not dayglo) asked if I was OK.
IN the end, I smashed the pane of glass on the back door and squeezed my way in. I passed out in bed immediately.
So,I wake up yesterday morning with my head stuck to the pillow. I had a lump where I had fallen over and there was a wee bit of blood.
I have subsequently boarded up the door and apologised to my neighbours, who were super cool about it, tbf.
This is the thing - I'm a rubbish drunk. Some people are agressive, some morose, some are complete cunts - I'm just rubbish at drinking. I never really know when to stop and quite often I get into a complete state, falling all over the shop and banging my head and shit.
Thinking I maybe need to kick the booze into touch as I'm not so good at it.
Maybe booze is not for me.
Thanks for reading and contribute, if you like.

oh are you always drunk when you post?
Yeah you should stop drinking
"I was swaying wildly whilst listening to jazz on my ipod."
Never acceptable ever, the rest happens
I did a laugh-snort when I got to that bit
that's jazz, man
(that's Jaz man)
That's Jas Mann
That was (probably) the joke you idiot.
you were listening to jazz.
ergo i have absoutely no sympathy for the rest of the story.
Where's even open on a Sunday in Plymouth?
I got asked to leave as I was swaying wildly whilst listening to jazz on my ipod.
we've all been there
I bet that twin is kicking herself as she reads this.
More sensitively...
It does sound like not drinking so much would be a good idea.
Can you genuinely not switch to soft drinks or alternate between alcohol and soft drinks at some point? This always works for me.
More sensitively...
:D
I find you can get away with a lot if you follow up with those words.
If you think that you should give up booze
then you probably should, even if it's for a couple of months or so. I usually have some time off it each year, feels good.
How did you do at the quiz?
couldn't hear the questions.
was swaying wildly to jazz.
Also, I like how you point out that it was 5am
as if that makes your neighbours seem like the unreasonable ones.
why you so drunk all the time LOL
Clarification about the key please: you took this off and chucked it on the street somewhere
BEFORE going drinking?
nah, man
it must have fallen out when I was paying the taxi driver. I found it yesterday just down the road.
during a game of tennis ball kerby.
ah, ok.
Good find!
that's not what you said in the story
you're actually making this up aren't you?
<universe implodes>
And you took off ONE key so as not to be weighed down?
How bloody heavy is this key?

:D
good find
many thanks
good URL
I imagine the "young" is accidental
Oh, reread
How bloody heavy are your keys?
key ring has about 8 keys and other bits and bobs on it
I took the key off the key ring before going out as the rest of the shit was unnecessary.
Ah, I never do that
One key is much easier to lose. If you drop a big bunch you're way more likely to hear it.
I can't get past the bit where you said you go to the bar to look at girls.
You sound creepy. Stop everything now.
just a bit of let's facelift bar
we've all been there
:D
He sounds nice
lolled
Especially posting. I really can't emphasise that enough 11.
It's funny because all I can think about when I'm drunk is kebab meta and cheese
kebab meta
^ jumped up indie stodge
£5, Shacklewell Arms
Same but with McDonalds
I'd go to a bar to stare at McDonalds whilst swaying wildly to Jazz on my iPod
It's easy to just drink and not do anything stupid though next time you drink
Have you considered making a cry for help?
have you considered a head reduction?
change the record, man
;-D
You seem nice
Shed Seven agree.

wha?
wait this is in the wrong placew
is it possible to sway wildly?
its such a gentle activity
usually, yes.
Just another thing RUINED by jazz.
spat water out at my desk
nicely done.
I was wondering about this
it's like aggressively relaxing. It can't be done.
Surely wild swaying would be rocking?
When a sway goes wild it turns into a lurch
You rang?
Yes can I sleep on your couch?
Wots up hun?! U no im here if u ned me lol xoxoxox
You'd better stick by that pledge if he PMs you and pours his heart out!
don't really want to be that guy who voices his disgust at others mocking someone's issues with alcohol
so I won't be that guy
Look, pal...
we've all swayed wildly to jazz for a bit after losing a big key. You just have to get up and dust yourself off.
Swaying on the straight and narrow from now on.
Got thrown out of a pub for nodding off while listening to trip hop
Got thrown out of a pub for fist pumping while listening to Bro Step
Got thrown out of a pub for Knees up dancing while listening to madness
All would have been better ones
got thrown out for pissing myself while listening to radiohead
Don't find them funny personally :/
Some great work in here so far
I just had to leave the office for a few minutes.
This is all I can picture.

Have you tried the A.A. (Post Office)

This utter hedonism reminds me of the Smack My Bitch Up video.
Except instead of cocaine it involves cider at a Sunday evening pub quiz, and instead of fighting outside a club it involves toppling over a rail. And instead of...actually, it doesn't really remind me of the Smack My Bitch Up video at all
I don't see your point
I mean not that bad at least you didn't wake up with a finger in your butt
I think you'll find that Lucien did.
And instead of the music coming from The Prodigy
It's Miles Davis
*Level 42
Sorry, but the ipod, jazz, swaying thing has killed me ...
:''''''D
how do you fall over *on* railings?
can you draw a picture please?
bit worried you might've been impaled
Just can't understand why someone would be listening to a an ipod at a pub quiz
Were you alone?
no no no
the iPod only came out later at the girl-stare joint
Jazz is music to watch girls by
was it like
soft porn jazz?
Causing excessive fantasies and wild swaying? (and a laissez-faire attitude towards shoe laces)
He can't tell you why meowington, he was out of control
Saw his shoelaces were untied at one point but still left them like that for the next hour. This shit is real and it is dark
He needs to get help STAT
before he does something ridiculous
...and posts about it.
That's golf maaaaaaaan
Intrigued by the laid back neighbours
Answering the door at 5am AND pretending they weren't bothered, don't think I'd have done either.
What jazz was it?
I'm not sure what kind of response
you were hoping to get, eleven.
I hope this thread hasn't disappointed or upset you.
he'll be reet.
it's just a few jars, maaan.
it's not as if he's having cocaine on his weetos or something.
You smoke weed right?
I recently gave that shit up and now I'm a much better at drinking, and even when I'm drunk I can still hold my shit together.
Before I used to become really drowsy and suffer an existential crisis but now I just get happy and wind people up and no jazz or ipod is involved.
Were you listening to the Russian saxophonist?
this story sounds like bullshit to me
I haven't drank at all for five weeks now
Which is probably the longest time since I was about 16. I don't miss it at all to be honest, think I could quite happily never drink alcohol again.
This thread is NOT about you.
this is incredibly evocative
maybe just don't mix your drinks?
mixing drinks makes me a rubbish drinker.
youre nearly 40 mate
