arnold layne Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have the fear when I turn 21 that I won't be able to stop after two beers if I am driving home. I've noticed at parties I get far more intoxicated than anyone else, to the point where I am stumbling and speaking awkwardly. I never get sick, but I tend to push it to the limits all the time. What's the point of drinking if you're not getting drunk? Social drinking is bullshit. Does anyone else feel this way? I don't get it.

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 You shouldn't drink any alcohol at all when you will drive later that day. Two beers are way too much as well. Your reaction time will be longer after two beers. Don't drink and drive. It really is among the worst things you can possibly do. Endangering others and yourself just because you want to have a drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 S.S. it is very common to have a beer at a restaurant and to drive home in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I know that. Half of the people in America are also involved in a car accident where alcohol is involved in America during their lifetime. I read that somewhere some years ago. I can't believe you're allowed to drive when you have 0.8 BAC in your body over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) been done twice for drink driving, once 5 days after i passed, stacked the fuckin motor on the motorway, like literally woke up face down on this A road leading onto a motorway with my car behind me looking like a piece of modern art. Second time was three years after i got my lisence back, rammed my motor into someone who then rammed into a copper car and i got done this time for failure to provide a specimen and aggessive behaviour against coppers, spent a night in the cells and out the next morning, got a three year ban and a fine for my troubles. Would've been worse, i had a bag of skunk on me that the copper found in a 20 deck of B&H but i managed to blag it and say it weren't mine and i was at a friends house and we all smoke B&H and there was a few cigarette packs on the table and i must've just picked up someone elses and i didn't smoke, had never smoked and just wasn't able, that i was a bird brain and it was literally a joke amongst my friends. He bought it so i done alright otherwise i could've had some proper grief.Moral of the story? It ain't fuckin worth it mate. It really ain't worth it. Getting up and getting the train every fuckin day, not being able to go out everytime you want to cuz you ain't got a motor and you feel like a cunt asking your mate to make four trips back and forth from your house just so's you can have a night out. It REALLY isn't worth it. But y'know what? You won't learn. If you're like me, you won't learn. Not until you've been fucked good and proper a couple of times. But honestly friend, don't be a fuckin idiot, don't make it so you have to get fucked first before you learn lessons that everybodys already aware of. It ain't no fun to get banged up, even for a night, it's the most horrible fucking punishment that i wouldn't wish on anybody, it literally is just fuckin hell.And worst of all, what if you fuckin kill someone? I mean, it's all well and good reckoning you're billy big bollocks that can do anything and get away with anything but thats some serious reality there, a person, a human being, dead in front of your eyes just cuz you woke up that morning reckoning you're some fuckin badman...ain't cool, ain't cool at all.But y'know what Arnold, i reckon you're a dick. Don't take that bad, i don't mean that to say i don't like you or i mean i think, judging from your posts, that you're a dick. A dick like i'm a dick, i don't think you'll learn either, just like me, you just gimme that feeling, y'know, you can smell you're own and that.And personally injury too, nothing wakes you up more than getting up off the road with glass in your hands and a broken finger and glass in your fuckin eyelid and huge gashes all up and down your forearm, looking around and wondering why you ain't dead. Drink driving is really really really really really really stupid. I used to always go "ahhhh, people talk fuckin bollocks, it's not like you set out to kill someone, if it does happen when you're drunk, it's an accident, it's not something you did on purpose, it's a tragedy" but that ain't the fuckin truth, the truth is, when you drink and drive, you do so knowing you could kill someone...and you don't give a fuck, you just do it anyway. And thats evil. And this is coming from someone whoose driven on E's, skunk, booze...and even the tail end of an acid trip once. Not clever and if you do it then you're a cunt and you need a fuckin' kickin'.P.S. the person whoose car i rammed into is still in litigation, trying to get 50,000 pounds off of me, for which the insurance company won't cover me cuz your insurance don't cover you if you got form for drink driving and do it again...and thats been going on since the April before last (i smacked into a Merc taxi)...oh well, a year and 10 months of my ban left i guess Edited June 28, 2012 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 How was driving on LSD? Imagine if you got pulled over! I mean if I was driving with a head full of acid and a cop pulled me over I am not sure if I would get out of the car and run like hell or lock myself in the car and cry and hide.

I weren't at the see shit stage anymore where the colours fuckin melt, far from it or i wouldn't've driven, i ain't that fuckin stupid. Anyway i just like...i remember sitting there and in my head i'm going like concentrate concentrate concenrate concentrate and like...i'm jus repeating this over and over but the worst i did was veer off into the other lane at one point but this is a really quiet back road that leads from my house into town so it was alright and it was literally just momentary and i slung it straight. Just drove like a fuckin grandad, keeping it WELL under 30 and finally made it to work and by 1pm that afternoon i was straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold layne Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have three friends or so and I go to one of their parties on weekends sometimes or when I feel like it. It's mostly always just dudes though.That's fine with me. It's not like I talk to girls anyway and if they were there my friend would have them in bed within the half hour.

I read that somewhere some years ago. I can't believe you're allowed to drive when you have 0.8 BAC in your body over there. +1.Ever since they established random blitz operations to catch drunk drivers here in Rio, calling it "Operation Dry Law", the number of car accident-related deaths has dropped almost 60%. Everybody tends to think "When I'm drunk, I don't drive that differently" well, that's bullshit. YOU DO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Universal_Sigh Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) The social drinking thing......So you're not legal to drink in bars yet, you deem it pointless to have just a couple beer. This is probably just because you're not old enough to actually do it. I'm 22, living in Canada so I've been able to do this for 3 years now. I used to feel like that but eventually you'll find yourself with a buddy or two meeting up at a bar to watch a soccer game (or your sport of choice) and you'll be aware you're driving and only have like two beer. It loosens you up, you talk more, get excited quicker. Then ya, you drive home. Typically you should wait like half an hour or a bit less just hanging at the bar talking and you're pretty much fine by the time you leave. You'll get people saying 0 beers tops while driving, you'll get people thinking they can have 4 or so... reality is you're probably going to have 2 and drive but don't be a dick and have more. You shouldn't drive to house parties in the first place btw because temptation to drive may get to you and you may get idiots saying "go grab me some beers/smokes" anyway so it's best not to have the car there lol. I'm sort of rambling but dude know your limits, know that just having a couple beer in a bar is still fun.You'll probably, if you don't already, have a friend who will always drive home from bars, drive drunk around town, etc. Fucking distance yourself because that guy is going to be a dumbass alcoholic in a couple years anyway so see the reality of it and start distancing yourself as soon as possible. I mean in the current situation and as a friend overall, honestly. Don't drive on hallucinogens EVER. That is fucking stupid. Don't even do them at parties but that's another issue... lol. I'm not the best for this advise as I feel completely comfortable driving after smoking weed and I still do it and everyone I know basically does it.EDIT: Definitely incoherently rambled here haha. Maybe you can get something out of it, I hope! Edited June 28, 2012 by The_Universal_Sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when you talk about a beer it's only a half that you get rid of every hour. If you go out to watch the match on an evening and drink seven pints before midnight then you're still going to be on dodgy ground at 2pm the next day.

It's the rule I have for when I've had 1, 2, 3 or maybe 4 beers. I know I'm still legal to drive then. Any more I just don't drive, period. And by beer I don't mean like 0,5 liter beers. Just normal glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
