Is being drunk an acceptable excuse?

then its time to slow down - if you can

 

Are you saying you pissed yourself? You're right, there is no excuse.

 

No, not really. I was not wearing anything at the time and i was outside in the garden.

 

That doesnt sound so bad. I do not understand your concern.

 

It is easier to stop than to slow down. It's all or nothing, I'm afraid.

 

did someone get pics of you naked in your own puddle of pissmud?

 

That'd be hard to establish.

I'm not proud of it, but it's fun.

Red, what all are you drinking?

 

I agree, he was doing the garden a favor really.

 

Depends on the situation, but generally no. I used to say shit was ok because I was drunk, but it really isn't just because you've been drinking.

 

Boogs, no. Thank God there was no camera.

Prax, we were drinking litres of Johnnie Walker.

After my self-imposed liquor ban, it reall fucked with me to be drinking whiskey again.

 

Honest opinion?

I think you're setting yourself up with an unreasonable expectation that you might not be able to meet.

I might be wrong.

Reducing your consumption is the first step. And a very realistic one that's not going to make you feel like you have to go back to it with a vengeance.

 

sometimes I get drunk and act dumb, and in the morning I just laugh about it. nothing serious. but for all the loud, argumentative, belligerent drunks out there, if you can't handle your alcohol, don't drink.

 

true^


Red...maybe you should avoid hard alcohol and stick to beer. nothing bad ever happens with beer.

 

i barf when i drink more than a few sips of any :cheers2: alcohol.. i'm a super light weight. uke:

 

well, alcohol lowers the inhibitions, so people will do things they wouldn't normally do. it does not however, make one want to do things that they are completely against doing when sober. thus, stupid things done when drunk are in most cases things that the person would like to have done anyway but just knows better.

so it can be a bit of an excuse, but not really....



and no red, i'm not saying you would like to lose your wallet and piss your non-existant pants while sober...

 

well if it was like my gf getting drunk and skanking out then yeah i'd have a problem with it.

 

of course, if it was your gf getting drunk and skanking out with me, it would be entirely forgiveable

 

Yeah, but that doesn't say much.

If I want to kill you but wouldn't with all my faculties, alcohol might make me do otherwise.

So it does make a difference.

No one is pure of perversions and aggression anyway.

 

i don't think i explained myself well the first time... this example actually agrees with my point. if you were to get drunk and kill me, it's because you wanted to kill me. you can't say "oh shit, i didn't want to do that; it was the alcohol." it was what you wanted, and the alcohol just made it easier for you to work up the nerve.

so i guess what i'm saying is that it can be an excuse, in that you may do something that you normally know better than doing, but it won't cause you to do something that actually goes against your inner intentions...


i still don't feel like i'm making sense...

 

I mean, that's fine. It's just that I think our inner intentions are never free of immorality anyway.

It's not like I can say, if I'm truly a nice guy, it doesn't matter how much I drink.

No one is truly a nice guy.
