I have to write a 6-8 page paper tonight about the effects of alcohol. I was supposed to attend an event where I could observe 3 people and record what effects alcohol had on them. I do not have any friends that drink, nor any family members who do. What I am asking you is how do you or your friends respond to the consumption of alcohol? If this gets be be a flame war or I see an argument about the use of alcohol, this thread will be deleted. All I ask for is information, thanks.

 

Aaahhhh, alchohol.......love it sometimes, hate it others.

 

I'm very easuly ticked off when I'm drunk. I don't get hangovers and I don't feel dizzy, I just get so annoyed with the world around me that I get into a fight over who looks at the girl I was looking at.

 

i am, what i would call, a heavy drinker.....what exactly would you like to know?

when i drink i get loud...i get abrasive...i get less tolerant of stupidity...while i have always been a bit of a fighter, having been a hockey player...i tend to get MUCH more aggressive when drinking..but im not an "angry drunk"...i wont pick fights...but i take offense to things..especially people hitting on my girl..things of the sort...

if around a non-hostiel crowd...say a bunch of my friends...im fine...im bubbly and happy...but in a club scene...ill drop'em in a heartbeat.

i do get VERY hungover if i drink enough..ive been hospitalized twice for alcohol poisoning...one of the times my BAC was high enough that the doctor told me "a few more drinks and we would have pronounced you clinicially brain dead"...once, i drank so much 151 that it ate through my stomach lining...drinking is bad..i dont drink like that anymore..i enjoy the occassional cocktail...and a good beer now and then

 

Way to go, Patrick! At least now you know better, and you're still with us.

 

yeah..my first few years of college were not the brightest in my life...

 

I think we've all had some of those days, Patrick.

 

not me. i cant get drunk. i could drink a quart of 151, and you wouldnt be able to tell i had drank anything. ive only tried a couple of times, then realized it doesnt work, and i cant afford to drink like that. so i havent had any in years.

 

I don't drink as well, nor does my family or friends(well my close friends)
i do notcie though that when people drink they stand to close to u(not all of them) also people that drink alot are often pround of doing dumb things when they are dumb. I have even heard a girl tell a story that she thought was funny about how she woke up naked in her bed and had not idea how she got there or why she was naked... she thought it was funny though. I think drinking really "loosens you up" makes you willing do do things you would never normaly do. I guess i have got even more turned off from drinking because i have seen what it can do to people(i am an EMT) about 70% maybe higher of the calls i get(depending on the area you are worken in) are drunks. Seeing what it can do to sombody makes me what to drink even less.... the odd drink no big deal but the getting drunk that i don't really get..............ANYWAY haha whatever started preaching a little........

 

Hey Cappelle, I remember that girl you were talkin about. It was her idea to get naked, I just followed. Tell her I had fun, especially when she rode me like a stolen Civic!
