Re: Signs that you are getting older
However, in the name of any forum meetup I will drink a couple of drinks as I am on holiday and if you cannot indulge then then when can you? Yep, back in England. Good to be back actually.

Haha, that's me too. Don't really understand anyone that drinks anymore. Trouble is, if you are around people that drink and you don't drink yourself, you feel like a bigger oddball than you already are. It's a strange feeling. One reason why I mostly just stay at home. Alcohol is nowhere.
I mean, I still drink... but only socially. For instance, when I'm with my brothers and we're hanging out. Or at a party. But I'm pretty careful about how much I drink, and usually make sure I have something to eat. Getting smashed to the point of not making any sense is something I haven't done in years and frankly... if I ever did, it's not something I'd run to my buddies boasting about it.
Sensible. I did try to have a drink at a gathering a few months ago. It was my first taste of alcohol in something like 8 months. I had a sip and thought to myself how disgusting it tasted. A couple of sips later and I realised that I was just not into it and stopped immediately. It just made me feel flustered. it's a sign that I have got old or else just become a teenager again.
I can quite happily get pissed at home on my own, people think it's sad but I enjoy it, I only do it every now and again, I enjoy a drink with a mate or two every now and again (once ever couple of months) the thought of sitting in a pub with a group of people makes me break out in a cold sweat.
1- I don't like people
2- I dislike groups of people even more than I dislike people
3- to deal with situations like that I drink
4- when I drink in a crowd I don't have any control, I'll be absolutely wankered before the night is done and the fact that I've always been able to hold my beer works against me
You sound a bit like how I used to be. I used to drink a fair bit on my own too. I still don't like people very much and I still really hate groups of people too, but I just don't drink anymore. It's odd not drinking sometimes but I prefer it now.
Not liking groups of people would be especially tough and in a Confucius based society.
Tough deal there, I feel for ya.

I don't drink as often anymore either. Some weks more than others. If a friend comes over or what not. Xbox, PlayStation and some drinks. These days it's about drinking quality over quantity. I really like some of these Whiskey/ honey blends.
As for signs you're getting old: when you feel creepy looking at your younger female colleagues as being an old perv.

Re: Signs that you are getting older
I had a margarita in Phoenix then head outside in the 115 degree heat. Felt like I wAs gonna pass out. Then Christmas I cracked open a Guinness could only drink half of one as it made me tired, great flavor in a Guinness but way to heavy. It sucks I used to drink 10 of them, who am I and where is the real me, shit I don't feel that old, I also gained three pounds over Christmas, my tits bounce when I run, I'm a walking disaster

Re: Signs that you are getting older
I was feeling like I had to be a man by saying I would have a drink in any meet up but I realise that I am not a drinker and would be happy with tea or diet coke. As multiple FGOTY champion I have nothing left to prove in the manly stakes. Anyone else can drink and that is fine but I won't bother doing so. I don't even like the taste. I understand some enjoy it though and I am not a complete stick in the mud.
Thinking about heading down to London for a few days so would be up for a chat and a museum or something like that. Nothing set in stone though, just ideas at the moment. Might even buy a sweater.

Re: Signs that you are getting older
Maybe I am getting old but we are too soft of sex offenders in this country. This week we have a serial rapist John Worboys the black cab rapist being released from prison after only 8 years.
Yet in the USA we have former Olympic doctor Larry Nassar been handed a jail sentence of 175 years for abusing female athletes he was supposed to be treating. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42725339

The clue is in the term "serial rapist". Worboys was convicted of 12 rapes but believed to have committed well over a hundred rapes. Being so hard ? why are you apologising for rapists?

Don't know if this has been mentioned, couldn't go through all 50 pages. But first time i realized I was getting older.......all my favorite songs were in a "classics" radio station on spotify.

Re: Signs that you are getting older
Well I've had a lot on my mind over the last few weeks, hopefully it'll all be resolved in the next few days but I thought to myself 'I'll have a good drink today and reset my brain' the thinking was that I'd start early and end early.
well I'd finished my 8th can by about 4:30pm and thought I'd go and get my head down for 1/2 hour to sleep off the beer....only just woke up, jesus, I would have been better off just carrying on drinking until I passed out.

On the contrary, as you are getting older you should become more patient because you have seen so much.
