My group of friends are all upper sixth form, approaching 18 years old. Now, we used to go drinking every other weekend. Then it turned into every weekend. A few months ago it turned into occasional weekday drinking. The 2 weeks or so we have been going to the pub during school time. One mate actually had 8 pints then went to a music lesson. Are we going too far I ask you. It's getting a bit harsh on the wallet :/

parties > pubs without a doubt

why meet new people if your happy with those you have?

LHC · 29 Jan 2003, 21:13

Who goes to a pub to meet new people anyway?

Sub · 29 Jan 2003, 21:13

Parties aren't so easy during the school day :/

Bloomers III · 29 Jan 2003, 21:15

men go to pubs to pull hairy legged women with slight moustaches who drink too much beer. IT IS NOT A WOMANS DRINK DAMMIT

When i realised that:

- I was getting absolutely blind drunk at home on my own 4 nights a week

and

- Only once a fortnight was i actually drinking with friends

and

- This had been going on for a while

and

- I was missing most of my Classes because of my hangovers

I thought i might have a bit of a drinking problem.

Deffeh · 29 Jan 2003, 21:22

parties dont have to be big

i have a friend who just has a small group over every saturday unless theres something else going on. we get plastered in her attic, play loud music, smoke cannabis, and have a good time without breaking the bank. Two cheap bottles of wine costs me <£5.

29 Jan 2003, 21:23

That's not really a party tho Def. It's more of a get together.

Deffeh · 29 Jan 2003, 21:25

its 15 or so people, drinking, smoking, listening to music and passing out in a warm place

party or no party, it > pub.

Less than the number that die from liver failure in Scotland.

We have parties, but NOT DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. Organising a party at 2pm isn't very easy.

Deffeh,
Can you invite me? I will bring a couple of bottles of Riesling and promise not to talk about politics.

What kind of music do you listen to?

Really? Just say you're going to buy a keg, and tell everyone you come across about it and where it is.

People will show up. Guaranteed. Especially if it's good beer.

You'll be suprised how many people come.

heh

the music im afraid is not mostly to my liking. Motley crew, metallica, guns n roses are the main players, with some occasional ratm, chillies, early offspring, greenday and weezer

Bit ****, really, but i suppose my music taste isnt exactly party inducing. No one wants to chill to billy joel apparently

Varangian · 30 Jan 2003, 06:34

It's not the things you do so much as the things you don't that you will regret later.
The Universe wouldn't have provided us with so very many way to party unles it meant for us to use them

Do whatever you'd like. You only live once. But remember, before you grow old, shoot yourself in the head to skip the agony.

Xillah · 30 Jan 2003, 06:41

When i grow up want to be Lazarus (or Elftor)

deerbarn · 30 Jan 2003, 07:22

With this pace, I'd recommend an early 40's Desert Eagle. Buy one while they are still available in some places. Makes good mess. Quick ease.

seventh · 30 Jan 2003, 16:43

nah my days of college involve doing that, plus weed, plus whatever else happens. generally im more ****ed than that most days, im lower sixth and still getting a's and b's

Sub · 30 Jan 2003, 16:47

The way I see it, by the time I'm old enough to need a liver transplant they will be able to clone them.

Sounds perfectly healthy to me. It will die down slowly as you get older.

Marilyn Manson · 30 Jan 2003, 17:14

You are very likely already alcoholics, and will most likely fail all your subjects, and live out the rest of you lives being one of those strange people who live in bus and train stations mumbling at people, like Kura.

Seek help.

Sub · 30 Jan 2003, 17:23

(un?)Fortunately we are all A grade students.

SENOR MCALEA!

And that other bloke.

And I never had the opportunity to get the pub during lesson time, with the exception of once, when no other bastard came with and I was sitting staring at a pint for an hour on my lonesome.

I LOVE THE ROSE

roadrunner_0 · 30 Jan 2003, 22:23

we were the same when i was 18, but we all had jobs, at my worst/best, i was spending £500/£600 a month on alcohol, and this went on for the whole of upper sixth.
I look back on my A levels, and wonder how the **** i passed.

(as a side note, i only passed with E's across the board, but as this still got me into UMIST i didnt care\o/)
