Demon Rum
« on: December 31, 2004, 09:11:49 AM »
What is with this juvenile, caveman attitude that goes with drinking for so many of those playing Aces High?

As in:  "Haha...Ah'm playin' drunk!  Ah kin fly better drunk than I kin sober!"

Or:  "My daddy always told me never to trust a man who didn't drink!"

Also:  "I'm so drunk I just don't give a s---!"

Finally:  "You can't be a real man if ya don't drink!"

Why is there such a need to inform all and sundry that you're planning on becoming intoxicated and possibly puking on your keyboard?  

I ceased to find drunks amusing years ago.  I realize they're always going to be with us, but I'd like to see a more mature attitude about it.  

There's nothing wrong with having a social drink with friends, but that is a far cry from getting smashed for the sole purpose of having an excuse to dump one's inhibitions and act the fool.

I thought this thread was going to be about Curval's rum at the '02 Con. Now that is truly some demon rum.

Shuckins - why you gettin' all up in my grill, man? I hate your posts and your attitude and as far as I'm concerned you should quit teh BBS and move back to whatever rock you climbed out from under.

Huh?

Oh... I love you man, I'm sorry.

^^^ that's what they sound like to me. YMMV.

You hit the nail right on the head with the observation that this is juvinile behavior.

These folks seem to think that this makes them look "bigger and badder" or that they need something to make themselves look that way. It's sad really that they aren't strong enough to face life on their "own 2 feet" and just be a real person.

It just makes them look as foolish as they are to brag about it. What is so great about getting impaired and doing something like ruining property (like a boat) because you're being stupid with it? It's worse to brag about to strangers then later lie to cover up how or why you did it.

Being drunk does not imbue anyone with a special or good quality, it just makes them more foolish than they would be sober. It also tends to make them blame things on something other than their own actions (it's not my fault. I didn't mean it. I was just drunk) for the results.

Sad.

First I am not in a retirement home, I'm traveling full time.

Second I do drink, just never to intoxication. I've seen and dealt with more than enough drunks to know that intoxication is never an enhancement to anything except to stupidity.

Third I never needed to be intoxicated to have fun, be fun to be around or get closer to the oposite sex or more importantly, get a member of the oposite sex drunk so they would be inteested in me.

Fourth I've never been intoxicated so that I destroyed the property of a family member then lied about it to the owner, bragged about it to a computer bbs and tried to defend those actions.

how can drinking "prove you're a man", if you don't let everyone know you're doing it.


this has always been one of the most annoying of the drunk mindsets for me.  though it doesn't top the need of the drunk to be in charge, or the idiots who drink in response to problems(< alcoholics in training).
