I Don't Care...Really.

It has always been a big deal to some as to how much a person ca drink and still remain standing. Some kind of rite of passage or something. Drinking is so stupid. People never just have a drink and feel relaxed. They have to have too much and then end up acting like an idiot. When I was young I wasted alot of money drinking and I sure wish I had all that money now. What a waste!

Sure do.. mexican men are great at that. I guess they want a hand shake or pat on the back. if I was a drinker. I dont think i want anyone to know how much I drank. Take care there... merry xmas.....

Sounds like something a highschooler does. I haven't come across this, though, not even when I was in high school.

Hmm I've done this myself I think at times its to brag about how much I could drink without getting drunk. But sometimes you have to tell them how much you drank so they can grasp just how wasted you were and why it caused you to do the crazy things you did. I'm cringeing writing that because I've done some really stupid stuff when I've drank way to much.

Well there are certainly people like that. They tend to brag about how much they were able to drink as if to show that they are a good drinker and they do not get drunk right away. I think there is no reason to be proud or brag what or how many a person can drink. After all, it is bad for health.

I don't drink too, but I don't mind them telling whatever. I would not just pay attention to their stories LOL. I just let it go, why would be I pissed off on silly matters I still so many things to think about.

When someone starts to get wordy, I'll just borrow a phrase that I learned from someone a long time ago: Can you just tell me the Reader's Digest version? I'm the impatient sort, and if I get frustrated enough, I might remember to say it. Or else I just stop listening to them -I know a few people that are guilty of embellishing everything!

My friend comes over in the evening to see me and talks about all the intricate problems he had with his tractor that day. Or he talks about the various people he ran into and then the names of the people they work for, are married to and who is related to whom and who he went to school with. He will tell me 4 or more times the chores he did that day. He doesn't drink, he has some kind of autism but I don't care. I have no idea what or whom you are talking about and I could not care less. He is usually telling me all this just as a movie or decent show is starting on TV too.

I hear ya loving...I certainly agree that it sounds silly for a drunk to brag about what they had to drink the previous night...most of the time is a shame especially when they admit that they drove home that night...and sometimes don't even remember where they parked their car.

I don't really make a big deal about them saying those kind of things. They can be annoying though. Plus people to be proud drinkers disgust me. I do this barfing thing in my imagination but I don't comment on the issue. To me obsessive drinkers are not sexy, unattractive and uncool. It's as if they are bragging about how much they drink. I really don't mind if they talk about it once but if they talk about it so often it becomes boring and pointless. So when I see a guy or girl that drinks too much and gets drunk and behaves inappropriately, they turn me off and I lose my respect for them because they don't respect themselves even.

I think they still had hang over when they said that. :-) They are drank after all. Yes, you are right. Don't mind them, they are still drank. :-) Have a nice day!

I am not a big drinker i do it occasionally but i understand what u are saying it gets annoying and makes them look silly. I dont find nothing attractive about someone being "so messed up" or drunk to the point they cant remember what happen

Truth, they always have to brag about something. They want you to feel good about them. Even f it's my friend i still tell them i dont care. Even if they had a date, they have to tell you every piece of details.

I don't like drink, because my job is the policeman. In the evening,when i encounter some drunkard, that‘s trouble enough

I know people like that and I think people do it just to brag. I also hate people who brag about driving home drunk! That is nothing you should be bragging about! Yikes! I do like hearing of people who are so drunk they have no memory on what they did! The funny stuff not the bad stuff,though! Sometimes you can't stop laughing hearing the funny stories!

This is pretty common in guys. I work in a small shop so it is normal for them (sometimes, me) to exchange stories on Mondays on what we did on the weekend. On how wasted one got. And how may they drink. I think this declaration only works on other drinkers as well. Maybe they'd think that if one said they drank this much, they'd have to drink more to top that!

Yeah they talk about it as if it's something to be proud of

Yeah, I think because drinking has become such a sub-culture all on it's own, people almost turn it into a competition. Hence the jokes: 'You're such a lightweight'. So I do think when people reveal how much they've drank before telling a story it's because they think the quantity is somehow impressive or funny- but it's not. I agree with you. Just make your point.
