Getting drunk stumbles out of style

Of course it is not cool to get drunk when in public and private circles especially when your mixed drinks and hard liqueur can cost you more than 5 dollars a drink except when it comes to beer then you look like a cheap drunk.

It's alright kids, come to London, getting blind drunk will never go out of fashion!

so they just turn back to sniffing coke?

I'm still cool! I don't give a suck what anyone fays!

Moderation ain't so bad...

Was it ever in style? I find a drunk to be a bumbling idiot and very unsexy.

god i hate new york

this is good. As a bartender, I've always wondered what the hell was so cool about getting sloshed?!...you end up looking like an idiot or puking everywhere, so why do it?!

Sour diesel Blueberry Diesel, Grape Diesel oh my! I always make a fool out of myself when I get too sloshed- I'm cutting back. Drinking without weed and weeding without drinking don't mix? Don't forget the hangover?;(

Yeah, but you've got a lot more blow on the New York party scene.

Getting drunk in college seemed like the right thing to do....

Now that I am mature I just smoke a little ganja...

Thank goodness. Being straight edge might actually pay off soon.

in retrospect, drinking to get drunk is not needed, a few drinks, some shots, and most importantly connecting with friends in a relaxed atmosphere is what i call partying. Everybody gets to choose how they deal with alcohol, it is a reflection of how you live your life in a sense.

thats why I party by my self and get drunk

That's why I stick to shooting up, thank you very much.

Hunnter,

Not everyone drinks like that. Drinking is quite fun. It certainly is a "social lubricant"- not that you CAN'T have fun without drinking, just that things are usually MORE fun when you ARE drinking. My typical night is something like this:

Invite friends over
Play drinking games (Circle of Death, Asshole, etc)
Talk about interesting things
Play video games (which we drink to)
Watch silly Youtube videos on my giant ass TV (there is a great powerhour with old tv theme songs)
End up in a discussion about the universe, god, humanity, or something else where all of a sudden everyone is a genius because we're all wasted
Pass Out
Wake up and laugh at the funny, good times we had

Does that sound depressing?

Where I come from, boozing is not a fashion. It's a way of life, albeit a poor one.

Cheers!

I honestly don't understand why people get drunk out their face to the point of puking.
To be honest, it sounds like the most stupid thing, ever.
Running face first into a wall seems more appealing.

Typical night:
Get smashed
RAAAAVE
Wake up, not remember a thing and have an awful sickening feeling / sore head, whatever.
My, that sounds like a *fantastic* life to me.
What is the point? When you're sitting there, old (fat chance), no life to remember, sounds incredibly depressing to me...

Why do you do what you do? (actual question here, i'd love to know)
Why can't people have fun without drink? (or even drugs?)
I can have fun without it, more-or-less always have.
It seems people are too nervous and thoughtful of their interactions these days.

who is this "newser" anyway? NY is a land of drinking and getting wasted. our bars are open til 4am for a reason! don't believe the hype...drink up my friends.

Didn't y'all know? Pills are the new stylish thing in New York. Have been for some time. Since they make me quite ill, I'll stick to booze, weed and mushrooms, thank you very much.

Its probably because New Yorkers are just doing more coke.

im gonna need to have a drink if this is true beacause i am very self-conscious about my un-coolness.

Too drunk to wite a witty reponse...yup tooo drunk,

Hogwash!! They are just doing other things instead ....

I wonder when getting smashed really was "in style." Sounds appealing puking huh?

Never happen, my 'genes' like it, love it no need it!

People look stupid when they are drunk. Much rather smoke some bomb O.G. kush.

i've never thought it was in style. always simply trashy. fun yes. but definitely trashy.

I taking New York City off my places to live!!! Cheers

Time repeats...

Look at Top 40 Rap and NuDisco music... It's mimicking the electro-funk and danceability of hiphop/pop in the 80s... we'll be hitting the 90s again soon which was a much more chilled out era in that particular style of music...

It's about time people pull their heads out of their ass and start getting deep again...

The only reason I ever got drunk was because it was so cool. Whew! I'm glad that's over with. Now I can find the next cool thing and go do it completely sober. Thank you, New York, for continuing to let me know what I should do and not do to be cool!

Losing control is never sexy.

good. more open bar stools for me.

Depends on where you are in the world as well.
I don't like getting sloshed, but my boyfriend likes me as sloshed as possible... evidently I'm entertaining ? I hate to imagine in what way. Then again my x boss said the same thing after a trip to FLA a few years ago. He saw me in a totally different way, and for the better somehow. uh. ??

Well drinking may go out of style for a wile but who cares when you drink like I do .Alone and in a dark closet! So whos with me, lets go to NY city and ill bring a university's worth of drunk college girls, and a bunch more booze. Then we'll party hard. That should do the trick, should knock em back to the stone ages.

yeah, i dont buy this for a second.

I'm happy I don't go to those "parties", seems more like being lame, self-righteous and arrogant walked into style once again, unfortunately.

Alcohol will never go out of style.

Bottom line.

I doubt it's going out of style... Most likely has to do with age. Younger people drink a lot more than older people as they enter the party scene.

The new experience, and age, contribute to getting drunk. As you get older its no longer cool, or fun, to pass out in the corner and puke on yourself.

This was my experience.

Is it really out of style or just people not wanting to spend the money?

I don't think it's ever 'stylish' to get ragingly drunk, but we all love to do it anyway ...

Maybe they're gettin plenty of that Sour Diesel going around to not care about drinking to excess... they've found water helps cottonmouth more.

I say nay, we are but men. rock

It’s so true! I still love getting drunk and everyone complains on how "not stylish" I am the next day..
Now I would get worried about what IS fashionable these days: BLOW. Every one I know is getting high on cocaine every weekend. it wasn't like that just 2 years ago.. this is becoming a problem.

This is just as much a bold face lie as it is when i tell myself I'm only going out for a couple drinks.

Getting-way-to-drunk is even cooler than sarcasm in style in Williamsburg.

Define in which groups? I'm pretty sure it'll never go out of style in Williamsburg.

I will not bow to mere fashion! Bartender, bring me another triple rye!

Have you ever! I guess that the next thing will be to make it unacceptable to watch "Thin Man" movies or any other old film in which people are stylish and often have a drink in their hands. Certainly, it will be totally non-progressive and politically incorrect to attend any party such as the one described by Noel Coward in his song "Marvelous Party."

First Verse:

I went to a marvelous party
With Nounou and Nada and Nell,
It was in the fresh air
And we went as we were
And we stayed as we were
Which was Hell.
Poor Grace started singing at midnight
And didn't stop singing till four;
We knew the excitement was bound to begin
When Laura got blind on Dubonnet and gin
And scratched her veneer with a Cartier pin,
I couldn't have liked it more.

So, I guess it is no more getting blind on Dubonnet and gin--in a later verse, Lulu gets fried on Chianti--or anything else for that matter. Unredeemed sybarite that I am, I still rather enjoy going to an affair that makes you say several days later, "I couldn't have liked it more."

Um...not in the circles I run in..perhaps it's just stylish to hide it?

My monocle just fell out. What do you mean it's not stylish to get sloshed?

Well I never!
