[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get hammered all the time, and I call a cab or call my wife.

This is not something to brag about.[/quote]

I've never understood people who are so proud to state that while they may be getting older, they "refuse to grow up".  I would think this would be something to be ashamed of, not brag about.  My friend's husband put this on his FB page on his bday and I just cringed in embarrassment for him.  Like I am cringing for you right now.[/quote]

who said I was bragging?  Point is, when I get drunk, I don't drive.  Not that hard.  Cabs are everywhere, and rather spend $35 on a cab than $3,500 in legal and court and insurance costs.[/quote]

Well, the "I get hammered all the time" part is a bit concerning and smells of adolescent style bragging about how much one consumes alcohol, as if that has any bearing on their acceptability and/or popularity and 'coolness'.   Wow, you must be a really 'cool' guy since  you get hammered all the time.  What fun you must be.  Don't we all wish we were fun like you. [/quote]

Why are you picking on this guy? He posted to say, yes, a sane person calls a cab after drinking. Even a sane person who gets hammered all the time. Good for you, sir.[/quote]

Not picking on him calling a cab.  That's good.  Getting hammered all time? Not good and contributes to a culture that believes alcohol is a prerequisite to fun and social acceptance.  [/quote]

hah, I don't care what he/she thinks.  If I go to a ballgame with 3 old college buddies, we are going to have a great time and pound multiple beers.  Same thing if I am on a golf trip.  Not like I go home and have 4 martinis by myself.  Social drinking is fun, in my opinion.  That isn't a brag, doesn't mean I am cool, just my opinion.  Doesn't mean you are an alcoholic or have a problem, which so many have a hard time believing. [/quote]

I hope one day you emerge from your extended adolescence.  The phrase "great time and pound multiple beers" is a sign that you think it would not be a great time if you were not pounding multiple beers."  Or on the golf trip.   That's a red flag, which is why it seems to you that "so many have a hard time believing".   Would you still have a great time if you and all your 'buddies' did not drink at all?   You sound like someone in denial, to me. Or very young.   [/quote]

Not the "hammered" guy--or even a guy--but I'm preeetttttyyyyy sure you're projecting your experience with 1) an alcoholic family member or 2) a lazy beer-guzzling spouse or 3) both onto this guy who is drinking with his buddies. [/quote]
