i don't drink that often (once/twice a week?), and when i go out to dinner i'm usually a 1-2 beer/drink drinker. but when i go out to the bar, or to a party it's every man for himself (not to be sexist). last friday night, after about 8 martinis, i walked down the street with a large group of friends to another, more upscale bar, to keep it going. as i walked to the restroom, i somehow found myself in the wine celler of this artsy place, so naturally, i decided to give my sommelier skillz a refresher, and i took a bottle of wine back out onto the floor, under my arm as if i were going to pour it professionally. one-minute later, i was 86'd!? what the fuck? i'm almost 29, and have to be really responsible half of the time... what should i do with the other half? while i thought that whole thing was really funny, some of the more uppity folks i was rolling with are still pissed, but seriously, how many cosmopolitans can one person drink anyway?

yes, weekly.
My bartender says I'm fine.
you might have a dumb-ass problem... (sorry...)
seriously tho, doing dumb ass shit like getting kicked out of bars for stealing bottles, or tips, or pulling your pants down, or getting in fights over nothing, etc shouldn't happen past a certain age... and i'd say 29 is past it...
nothing wrong with boozing it up, just hold your liquor a bit better...
Ooh... ouch
Haha, yeah, I'm a boozer for sure, but I don't have a problem. I maybe, maybe drink twice a week. I'm 25 and work hard and play hard, plain and simple. I've certainly never been told I have a problem because I'm the farthest towards the moderate end of the spectrum for my group of friends. I've told some of them they may have a problem some day, but it's never come back to me. You've seen me on a couple of my drunker evenings... usually I'm more chill so I can spit game without falling on myself! In fact, I seem to recall a wasted Arcadian at a DJ Ferrari show swigging vodka right out of the bottle. Hmmm...
A related question... does anyone else have a hard time adjusting to the fact that you can't drink as much as you used to? I'm a couple years out of college and could take down a ridiculous amount of booze and be fine, but now I have a couple beers and I'm already feeling it.

Forgot about that
ZING!
i feel this, get 3 40s in me and a couple friends and were spidermanin it up the side of buildings, busting in our friends apartments uninvited, breaking their headphone collection and grabbing their roommates titties.
that top shelf vodka will do it. i can breeze through a gang of kettle one and not even realize i'm drunk till i bust my ass trying to do kickflips outside the club. i'm a pretty happy drunk, but if i had a bad week or bad day it really comes out when i'm on that drank. I've realized recently, that i have a drinking problem and i need to do something about it before it become a serious problem. i've seen a few friends fall off the edge, and i aint tryin to go out that way. i always tell myself, "one drink, tom...ok, two drinks two drinks",.. then it's over. i cant be in a social situation w/out a drink in hand. i quit smoking, why cant i quit drinking??? it's just so sweet when it hits your lips.
it's true, a drink or two makes uncomfortable social situations MUCH more bearable... after three glasses of wine, even the wackest art opening is ok...
i was out of control a while back when i was djing 5 times a week... when you're in some shitty place on a weds, there's hardly anybody there, and you look at your watch and you have 4 hours left, what else are you going to do but drink? and it's free... i would be waking up hungover every day... certain nights i'd be like, i'm just going to drink cokes, but by midnight, it was rum n cokes... basically for me, it was about keeping myself out of drinking situations... i.e. if a social situation is going to be that much worse w/o a drink, i'll tend to avoid it (or go with friends, so i don't feel as umcomfortable...)
its just about being responsible, know your limits, its not like you were meaning to hurt anyone or their time, sure you were out of line, but true friends dont play you like that. i dont really want to get into ANOTHER friends discussion, but if you apologized and they cant get over it, its on them. imo
Every damn weekend!
Hi guys! I am so keeping my mouth shut on this one!!! I was gonna make a comp CD based on records left behind the decks by (drunken) guest DJs. Boot's Groove was on there.

Yo, I heard you and Ross both had a serious drinking problem--not that you drank excessively or anything like that, but that your drink of choice was the apple martini.
NO YOU ARE THINKING OF GUZZO
How is that you're one of the only SF strutters I haven't met yet?

Uh-oh.
Haven't we both been spoken to about keeping Guzzle's name out our mouth (bitch)?
easy, you're making Faux_Rillz jealous. He's been trying to holler for two weeks and he just doesn't get the hint.
