Why do SOME guys have to be jerks when they drink?
Edited on Fri Jun-11-04 01:04 AM by BlondieK143
Is there some little part of your brain that makes you be a dickhead??? I mean, seriously!?!? No one cares how loud you burp, how long you pee. GRRRRRR. :mad:

On edit: I didn't mean to put every guy into that category. I apologize.

2. Just got a phone call.
From someone I was glad to hear from. But let's just say a bunch of guys that just got released from the field + alcohol makes for one certainly annoying/interesting conversation. UGH.

That is how I choose to be different when I drink.

28. Aged blue agave tequila.
The chaser mix of orange and tomato juices is called "sangrita".

34. This is sipping tequila, cactus congac.
It's really quite delicious that way, and not slamming it an ounce at at time helps regulate your dosage.

20. Why are young men different when they drink? (are DRUNK)
Because most young men are stupid, horny, and basically worthless. Give them time to grow.

I'm a 50m year old gay man, and my straight friends from 30 years ago are all MUCH classier guys now than they were then. Mostly, they need someone to help them become adults.

My friend Robert was a worthless POS at 19. Today, he's a class act with a good future. He's taking his wife to Angor Watt in Cambodia next month on vacation.

Please don't give up on men. Roughly 10% of us are really class acts to start with. The rest-well, they're at least mostly better than shower-massagers (or so I'm told by my female buddies) Give them time to become men that you will surely enjoy. (If you don't, I'll be happy to take up the slack)

It's just frustrating. And I understand what you're saying. This guy is 22 and I just suppose they're letting out frustration from a really long two weeks. :shrug:

50. You're talking about a REALLY YOUNG MAN
Most of us guys are total idiots at 30, much less 22. Damn, I didn't even know I was GAY until I was 25 or so and you expect this kid to make sense when he can barely change his own underwear?

I wish we were smarter, but we're not...

behavior when drunk. The question is, why are you hanging out with drunk people?

62. Well I wasn't technically there.
I was just on the phone with one. And he's of age, allowed to drink. And he had just got in from an extensive training op for 10 days and has to go back in a few days as well. Stress reliever I suppose. :shrug:

33. I'm the same always!
I post from work at 8:30 am Pacific Time sometimes...I post from home at 1:30 am Pacific Time sometimes...No matter what time of day I succeed mostly at killing threads. Such is the hand the DU deck of cards has dealt me.
I always pee in private, belch in private, engage in acts of flatulence (I purposely avoid the use the word "f@rt" here in order to avoid offending sensibilities) in private, you name it. private (I live alone)...
I hang out here a lot because I'm interested in the current state of affairs and this forum does sometimes have use as a barometer of how like -minded people feel (I work with a lot of non-like-minded people)

41. Why do you gals have to be so stupid when you drink?
"Oh, sure! I can drink just as much beer as you, no problem! I'll be fine to drive home. You can trust me."

Three beers later..

"I don't feel so goodd...whaaarrrrrf." *passes out*

There you go.

but I was busy burping and man, I must have peed for an hour straight.

Because deep down, all guys ARE jerks and alcohol is like a magnifying glass for your "personality."

Don't worry. As they get older, they seem to forgo the pissing contests and find entirely new ways to embarrass you or otherwise screw things up.

Moderation please.

63. As I once said to my sister..If you are hanging out at bars
you are going to meet people who hang out at bars. She did and now he is on his 4th DUI, in jail for 6 months and she is trying to end the relationship with her daughters father while working on her own alcohol issues.

Hate to get all serious on you. But I will assume you need a big sister and say it to you anyway. :hug:

64. Thank you.
I really appreciate the advice. I wasn't, however, hanging out in a bar. I'm pretty careful with the people I hang out with. This was just a weird situation and it was a phone conversation. Thank you though, seriously. I'm sorry to hear that your sister has chosen the things she has. I really hope it works out for the best! :hug:
