Signs that you are getting older

[brocktonblockbust]

Here's one sure sign: You find yourself more and more amused at those who boast about getting drunk every day, like some sort of misguided badge of honor.

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.

Memphis was so fricking right about u

[brocktonblockbust]

what the fuck I seriously dont know what you are talking about and I have a bit of "pull" with some of the Mods on here going back to 2003 so keep pushing your game, keep putting it ~out thhere~ and I can PM Memphis and see what is going to 'happen' if you keep pushing this

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

Many of us are wounded drinkers.

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.

[Gandalf]

Or is it jumper? It's those Americans and their trucks.

I have the real one, that is a good copy you get to see. Miles stop denigrating Americans with every post. When you tease someone about where they come from it is racism and u do it a lot and I'm telling

[brocktonblockbust]

Exactly. This would have been a good one to elucidate but I heard you can't swim and beans was saying something about Goodfellas

You pay for your misdemeanors in your youth as a old man they come back to haunt you too much drinking fucks you up.

same holds true for drunk skating, shallow surfing and hastily arranged blind dates.

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

As long as you don't remember them it's plausible deniability
