Tonight’s a Killian’s night.

I just ran a mile with my suitemates, and now I’m kicking back and doing homework with Killian’s Irish Red and a chicken salad and jalapeno sandwich. This is just the kind of night I needed. Welcome to Fluther, by the way.

I’ve been besotted, crapulent, crapulous, inebriate, inebriated, intoxicated, sodden, tipsy. Informal cockeyed, stewed, blind, bombed, boozed, boozy, crocked, high, lit (up), loaded, looped, pickled, pixilated, plastered, potted, sloshed, smashed, soused, stinking, stinko, stoned, tight, zonked, drunk as a skunk, half-seas over, high as a kite, in one’s cups, three sheetsintothe wind…

but never drunk.

I may have drank once or twice while Fluthering. I haven’t regretted it though (and didn’t actually get drunk).

Yeah, embarrassing the next day!! and questions that need editing because they made no sense, even to me.

I’ve drunkenly Fluthered many times, but haven’t done anything to regret. That I know of, anyway. :p

Nope. I have a no-contact policy any time I’m under the influence. If I can’t spit on their face, I can’t talk to them. And since I don’t usually care for being around others while I’m inebriated, it normally means that I’m just in my bedroom, watching tv, having a cuddle with my pets.

Only the latter.

No. But then, I don’t drink.

iammia's avatar

Not yet, do you recommend it?

I drunken Fluther at every available opportunity.

Unfortunately, it’s never as fun as it could be, because I’m still a Grammar Nazi while intoxicated. It just ends up taking me three times longer to post.

Nope. But I virtually never get drunk any more. And even if I were drunk, I can’t imagine it would change anything that I say. Only my typing speed would be affected, I think.

It’s funny. When I hear someone is fluthering drunk, I feel a little uneasy. They make such a big deal out of it, as if to reduce their responsibility for what they say. Or at least try to reduce their responsibility.

I know that young people drink a lot more than older people do, on average. Still, if you are fluthering while drunk (FWD), it sounds like you are alone, and drinking alone seems to me to be the kind of thing that people with drinking issues do. That’s just my prejudice, since I never drank alone. For me, drinking is a social thing. Although you might argue that FWD is a social thing. I don’t count it as such, since not everyone is drinking, and you don’t necessarily tell anyone that you are.

Anyway, when I hear someone is FWD, I get concerned. Maybe I shouldn’t, but I do. I don’t think getting drunk is something to be done lightly. It’s just as serious as any other drug, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think it should be done alone. People drink, it seems to me, to loosen their inhibitions (with the implication that they want to connect more closely with others), and to feel better—happier, looser, more maudlin, less pain.

I’m sure most drinkers will deny they are using the drug to cope with pain. Part of what drinking does is to cover over the pain, and help you believe there isn’t any there. I don’t think that’s a good way of coping. Eventually, the pain will burst out as a kind raging mental monster.

Anyway, that’s what I think when I hear people are FWD. Right or wrong, it concerns me. I hope I’m wrong. But we won’t know for years, in many cases, if the drinking is hiding something or not.

I just had a Facebook friend make a big preachy status update about drinking a single beer while reading Facebook and he thanked his parents for teaching him to drink in moderation. Blah blah blah.. either be drunk and entertaining or shaddup and save the preaching for Sunday!

Seek's avatar

Amen, Sister @keobooks .

Frenchfry's avatar

I have done it. I drink wine though. I am a wino . I don’t like the taste of beer.Have made no regret yet.

keobooks's avatar

I don’t drink at all, btw. I just don’t like the preachiness of this update. Decided to be a prick and just post the dang thing.

” I am enjoying a beer in the comfort of my home. At times like this, I’m thankful that my parents taught me responsibility with regards to alcohol. Thanks to them, I didn’t drink until I was of age, and today I enjoy alcohol in moderation. If more parents today would instill the same kind of responsibility in their children, perhaps small towns wouldn’t lose their minds when it came to the issue of wet versus dry.”

Is it just me or is that a bit high-fallutin’ la-ti-da?

@keobooks

Ha ha… Here’s my version.

“I’m enjoying a Cuba Libre while Fluthering nude in the comfort of my own home, while my husband is out with the boys. At times like this, I’m thankful that my parents were abusive alcoholics, because through their poor choices I learned responsibility with regards to alcohol. Thanks to them, I didn’t drink until I was of age, and today I enjoy alcohol in moderation, and with somewhat less moderation on certain special occasions. If more parents today would get blind drunk and beat their children, perhaps small towns wouldn’t lose their minds when it came to the issue of wet versus dry.”

@keobooks , unfriend that person!

In answer to the question, No. If I am that drunk, popping onto the internet would be the farthest thing from my mind.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@keobooks Wow, so not only is he arrogant but he’s also uninsightful and has a tendency to oversimplify? I’m smitten, set me up with him!

@Seek_Kolinahr Omg, so awesome.

augustlan's avatar

I lurve you people. Just sayin’.

NaturallyMe's avatar

Nope, i don’t drunken anything, because i don’t get drunk.

Nicole8's avatar

Yes I have. I would write on my friends facebook walls and then the next day, I would have no idea what I was saying!

I try to stay away from the internet now when I drink.
