Being Drunk in the World

[Santa Raccoon 77]

I am so hanging that on my wall.

It has been my experience in my much much younger days the more I drank the less the cost ment anything until the next day and my wallet was empty Oh s___ moment

In my 20s, my friends and I always took turns paying when out.. I was notorious for leaving my card with our waitress or a bartender. I’d call the next morning and they’d laugh and say “Yes, 21Stamps, we have your card here. Again.”
If I start to feel a little too tipsy I would quietly walk outside and get in a cab, without notifying anyone... or sometimes I would just walk home.
Funny story.. there was a bridge that we had to cross on the way home. Apparently I felt like I had too much to drink one night, dipped out to walk back..took my brand new heels (which were hurting at that point) off while walking. Arrived home, dropped my stuff in the foyer, went straight to my room.
The next morning I woke up and went to the kitchen to make coffee, roommate comes out a few minutes later. “Did you notice that you were missing anything last night?” I go to the foyer to make sure I had my handbag and shoes.. Only One Shoe! I immediately was so upset.. she started laughing “I found this on the bridge when walking home” and shows me my other shoe!

And just for reference.. on that specific night I had 3 drinks.. 2.5 was what I always tried to stick to.. if I finished the 3rd, I knew I had to leave. I have a fear of stumbling in public when wearing high heels and drinking.

But how will the kids learn how to curse responsibly if they don't see adults cursing?

All they have to do is watch Hollywood movies

If anybody thinks people are getting wasted on tiny little cups of beer going for $4.25-5.25 at the Flower & Garden Festival, I've a got a bridge to sell you.

I presume it’s the mixing in general and the sugary drinks especially.

Maybe - but those are priced even higher. The only drink with some real kick I found, was the boozed up (with Captain Morgan's rum) Dole Whip @ Margarita Joe's on the Boardwalk. Now THOSE were yummy!

I remember, years ago, being banned from a Disney discussion board for taking issue with people drinking Buds straight outta the bottle on the resort bus one morning to the Magic Kingdom. I was shown the door (well, I also enjoyed writing out the true acronym for All Star Sports, so my record wasn't clean). Anyhoo, I've since learned the error of my ways that at Disney, despite laws to the contrary (but it's Private Property, dontcha know, so who cares? You can do it at Epcot and DTD, so what was I thinking?), alcohol discussion on a Disney board usually gets someone in hot water.

If the shoe fits, I will personally call out a disgusting, vomit-ridden slob without so much as giving a flying fish, whether on an internet forum or RL. YMMV, however.

Then where were you when the dancing pitchforks called me "holier than thou"? Where were you, OneofThree?!

Prolly tearing into the shins of one of the aforementioned slobs with my scooter no doubt!

But let's be honest... the real crime was drinking Budweiser, am I right?

Everyone knows that alcohol and hot water don't make a palatable mixture, right?

The virtue signalers are out in full force on this thread. Let me give you some advice. Don't go to Europe. People tend to drink in public places there and, gasp!!!, smoke too. It may be enough to melt your little snowflake brains.

 

[OneofThree]

smoke too. . .

Did I mention how much I love premium, hand-rolled leaf? In fact, just this week I've enjoyed the likes of Alec Bradley, Bespoke, RoMa Craft, AJ Fernandez, and Oliva.

It's sort of common sense that the expectation of behavior is dependent upon the particular venue. The implication here that all spaces everywhere are suitable for all activities doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I guess that’s not annoying unless you had a beer before scooting (?)

Shouting obscenities at passers-by from your Mom's basement isn't likely to have any real consequences though. Nor will your internet crusader character you have created here have any meaningful impact.

I've seen stories where people have been removed from Epcot because they're too damn stupid to regulate their alcohol intake. Example...Alex Morgan of USA women's soccer was booted from the Rose and Crown Pub in England along with some friends. I enjoy the different beers from the different countries, but when I start to catch a buzz, I slow down. I'm a professional drinker. Unfortunately, there are a lot of amateurs out there.

But Reefs and Havaianas are/should be a staple in everyone’s wardrobe!!!

At What exit off the jersey turnpike do you live ?

Removals are few and far between.

The “celebrating” pay without hesitation. Simple economics.

If a person is so drunk that they are covered in vomit, the chances of them even being slightly coherent or even able to stand up are pretty slim. What good would it do to "call them out" and what does that even mean? You will tell them how drunk they are? Perhaps you could help them out instead of yelling at them.

Well, he gets to load onto the bus first regardless of how many people were there waiting already. I am sure he considers that a victory in his crusade.

Yell? Not sure where you're getting that. They are much more effective ways to "call people out".

I would never drink and scoot!

You know you've hit the mark several times when. . .

My problem isn't that I notice it, it is that my kids will notice it. The ages they are at they are like sponges. They soak everything up. Behavior, language, everything. My son particularity likes to sit back and watch rather than be a part of the action so we have to be mindful of what he hears and sees. I shouldn't have to be concerned about this at Disney World. Yes i know it is a public place but c'mon people!

I agree with you. I don't have kids (just nieces and nephews) but one thing I do not allow is anyone with me to cuss when we are on property. You are on stage and the entire world sees you. No need for it. Now when I'm not at Disney, that's a different story. Who knows what colors may come flying out of my mouth. You just need to know your time and place.
