Crossing the line

[Mr.Dave]

I decided as of the new year to try and control my drinking. It's the one thing that can completely destroy any sort of good judgement that I have as a sober person. When I decide to drink you can bet pretty safely that I won't remember much the next morning, and towards the end of last year it kinda started to piss me off.

I started my plan by just cutting out everything all together. It went great (birthday excluded), and just over the last few days I've decided to have a few. Friday was cool, had some beer and all was good. And then there was last night.

I went to Mikey's with the intention of doing the same thing again and having an early night. Then I woke up this morning with a lip still bleeding, nose throbbing with a huge line across it, one fucked up knee and one fucked up hip. For those of you that are curious the prick who beat me up was Dave Lyster. He lives in Coquitlam and has a goatee. We somehow wound up at a rave last night and I think I finally got to bed around 6:30. AND WHERE THE FUCK DID I GET THIS HICKEY???

So how many of you have that line that, once crossed, can make for some pretty stupid goings on? I'm starting to think the only way to guarantee I won't cross it anymore is gonna be to kick booze all around. I'm getting too old for this shit.

ugh i know what you mean

sometimes its not me who has crossed that line, but im witnessing other people and their behaviour once theyve crossed it.

but i definitely have that line.. damn, i try not to cross it, bad bad things happen and i wake up the next day saying "WTF?"

[hellzbellz]

sounds like something i had in mind...

for my newyears i wanted to get back into school instead i go back to drugs how lame!!!

I'm one of the weird people who remembers pretty much everything when i drink. I still do stupid stuff though.. I just don't need to be told about it the next morning. :\ That's one of the reasons I don't drink often and when I do I don't drink alot. It's more fun that way.

I'm usually the one witnessing everyone else crossing that line. Haha..

btw, hope the lip isn't too sore dave. :)

Yeah, Same here. I always remember what happened, no matter how drunk I get.
Exept for this one nite in Berlin... I was on a class trip and we all got way over drunk (here in Germany the teachers take you out to bars to go drink!!) I had split a huge bottle of bacardi with ONE friend. The next day evryone was laughin at me like .... hehe, how u doin today Tabi?? And they were tellin me some dude would come to the hostel that night and wanted to get it on with me.
I was like phhhhhh°!! Fuck u guys, don't piss me off with your stories! I wasn't THAT Drunk!
Turns out the (not so fine lookin) guy DID come and was just so clingy and disgusting and all tryin to touch me. Muthafuckahh!!
But my bodyguards saved me (heheh)

[Jingles]

i hear ya Dave!!

I have several nights where i do not remember anything past a certain point - and hearing about myself naked on a patio or making out with total strangers or being uber beligerant

not impressed - i don't even know that side of myself - yet i sometimes wake up with the consequences of extremely drunk Maryah's actions

I have been working on my drinking technique. Learning to stop at some point has been a great thing
i hope to have no more blank spots in my memory from future drinking events

i love drinking, i'd never get rid of it totally
but technique....well that's a little something i'm working on

[say_whut]

i haven't had a drink in just over a month, which is a looong time for me, that is compared to my drinking habits of the past 5 years or so.

i've always been one to drink way more than i should. which usually means that i spend the next day tryin to piece together what happened to me. my friends get the pleasure of filling me in on my adventures wich often turn out to be quite comical but theres also been a fair share of embarassing stories.

the last time i had a drink i got pretty hammed and then proceeded to pick a fight with a good friend of mine; he then kindly gave me whut i deserved. it wasn't the first time i've got myself into a situation like that while drunk as a skunk. a summer or 2 ago i lost a front tooth because i just didnt know when to shut up. thank god for my dental plan.

tired of waking up confused and bruised, i decided to attempt the unattemptable and not drink for a bit. since then i've started a quest to quit smoking, and feel better than i have in years (tho my generic version of zyban may have something to do with that too)

while we're on the topic of not drinking, i'd like to give big thumbs ups to establishments that give designated drivers free refreshments. apparently this is common practice, but it's news to me.

next drink... feb 24th, just 16 days away!

[zarlon]

hey gary, do you remember my perogies comin' up in your backyard? :soak:

[say_whut]

lmao! yes, yes i do.
that's what happenes when ya try n drink with a seasoned pro.
you made quite the first impression claire ;)

[zarlon]

oh god... that doesnt' reflect who i am OK!!!

"what did you have for dinner?"

"perogies...."

"yeah, you can really see it.. look!"

oh man. i'm so sorry! but it makes for a great story. ill tell all my grandchildren, in fifty years.

"Hey, man. Good night last night. So. What happened to you? Last I heard you went to some body piercing place? Too weird for me. Well, you probably didn't do anything too drastic. You the man, cool guy! See you at the beach."

[stringbeans]

yeah.. last night was pretty intense hehe

hope your lip is okay buddy and not too swollen (i suggested the ice!)

i think drinking is a-ok as long as you dont get rowdy and breakdance fight on a hardwood floor heh

[Kelster]

yea i've crossed the line several times...actually you've seen the shit i did ie. tribeca

but you learn from your mistakes, and it's part of growing up imo...lesson learned, and on to the next learning phase

If that were the case then it wouldn't be the problem. It actually seems to be going in reverse though. In grade school I pushed it pretty far but always stayed somewhat grounded at the same time. It's only over the last three years or so that I've developed this invincible/spiderman/kick everyone's ass idea. And the injuries are pretty much guaranteed.

Sean: sorry about the wedgie dude.

Shannon: You bring the dope, I've got the basmati!

[tufflove]

doode i toadalee know whut u mean
wakin up in tha drunk tank , gettin my face fukked up
its whak
i put a stop to that ish too try an only drink on weekends now

[Kelster]

eh well maybe this is the point where you burn out and you start to control yourself?

it's really up to you, it's called discipline...not that i know anything bout it or anything

i find being the designated driver helps keep me under control, or leaving the debit at home, nulling the pre drinks and just drinking at the bar/club...or just making myself throw up when i know i've drank too much :soak:
