Yeah I agree. The only time I drink is when Im with a group of people Im comfortable around otherwise I get paranoid about it.

I don't drink much either. But from what I understand, Alcohol intensifies whatever emotion you were feeling before drinking. So if you drink to alleviate loneliness/depression, that would make it worse. Whereas if you drink with your buddies at a party where you are enjoying yourself, you will be more excited and free-spirited...albeit a little clumsy.

I've had plenty of nookie, all of which happened since I stopped drinking.

If I gave up drink I'd still struggle instigating things so would have neither - that's a lose/lose situation to me :lol:

My vigin non drinking friends don't drink for the same reason I didn't when I was a teen. It's less money you can spend on dork junk!

Still its funny when I watch them get all judgemental on booze and theyre VERY unhealthy and addicted to Pepsi.


Not everyone who doesn't drink alcohol drinks soda. I don't drink either, nor do I drink any beverage with sugar or caffeine. :)

But, I liked the way you put it - less junk to waste money on.

There have been a couple of times recently when I've gone home early giving no explaination to the people I'm with and with no memory of it the next day. Think this may be something to do with me feeling lonely (and maybe helpless to change it?) whilst out!

No, that's called a black out. It doesn't have anything to do with your feelings of being lonely. Means you drank too much. Clearly you drank too much to erase the feelings of being lonely. Then again, I understand the UK has a real problem now with young people abusing alcohol.

The Poll question isn't too clear to me. Does it mean, when one is drunk is everything in one's mind okay? Or does drinking making them fell okay, even with hang over? Clearly if one is getting drunk day in and out, one is trying to escape, but just can't. Therefore, they drink more tryin g to find that same feeling they had when theyb got drunk for the first few times. Complete Ease of their mind

I'm quite aware of what a black out is. I meant that it was maybe the reason I decided to go home. I have drunk alot on these occasions but it's generally in excess because I'm out with friends having a good time - not when I'm lonely - but when others have managed to pull and I've not, the loneliness hits (and is exasperated by the alcohol), causing me to go home. I referenced the lack of memory as I can't be too sure as to my feelings (or actions) immediately before leaving but have relied on people telling me what happened earlier on.

The problem with alcohol you talk of is blown out of proportion in mine and many others over here's opinion.
