Of course, my friends and I are interminably dull without it.

Safe possibly wasn't the best word to use there, bit tired.
Erm well, im a little bit reckless/silly/cheeky when drunk. Also I rather enjoy talking to random people on a night out, usually get along great when I meet people but I some times say the wrong things to the wrong people.
I also have some kind of inner-drunken Micheal Palin character and I just love to walk off and adventure by myself, usually this happens in cities or countries ive never been to before.
Hey, think im actually more a danger to myself.

Must also add that a few years back, whilst being incredibly drunk, I managed to walk into a moving taxi and landing almost face first onto a curb.

only thing you really notice is how much of a tit people make of themselves when hammered on ale
| Exactly. You dont tend to notice is when you're drunk tho. Saw a fight in Leeds and a fight in Wakey that night and realised what twats people can be when drinking

From a three second glance (literally) this seems like a thread with more discussion and interesting comment in. So I'm going to copy and paste in here my carefully thought out rant from the other 'how much do you drink' thread, in which all the replies have been along the lines of 'this much a week'

I think it's quite odd how people don't take alcohol seriously at all. People don't see that it's a problem to regularly get drunk, it's seen as something that's perfectly normal. If occasionally you get drunk, and then the day after it has a negative affect on your life, i.e. you don't perform as well as you could at work or study, or you don't do stuff that you would be doing normally, then by definition you have an alcohol problem. But people don't seem to realise this at all, they think it's perfectly fine to get hammered every so often and be completely out of action the next day. Imagine if it was drugs, imagine if someone got wasted on drugs and then felt terrible the whole of the next day, or turned up to work looking and feeling rough after their drugs binge. It'd be seen as totally unacceptable, wouldn't it? Yet if the drug is called alcohol people do this and don't bat an eyelid.
I drink most nights, by 'most' I mean more often than not. Usually it's just a couple of pints at the pub with a friend, but about once a week it's a binge where I'll get fairly drunk. And recently I've started to recognise how bad this is. Often I swear to myself that I'm going to have a week with no drinking, but it nearly always doesn't happen, I'll be tempted in by a pint at the pub and then have one or two more. And it does have an effect on my health - I don't feel massively healthy these days, and four years of battering my body constantly with alcohol is probably a big reason for this.
Far too many people don't think alcohol is bad in the UK. Most people in this country have an alcohol problem, but they just think that 'having an alcohol problem' means lying in a ditch after blacking out on vodka every day.

But you only have one life. You might aswell enjoy yourself. Just balance a night of alcohol with say, a good gym session and a relatively healthy diet, and you've found yourself a nice little combination.
