Have you ever gotten really drunk by yourself...just for fun?

So my wife was sick this past Friday and went to bed at about 9 o'clock. I usually stay up until at least 1, so I was sitting around bored. A friend of mine had invited me to go to a concert, but I would have had to drive there, and I really just wanted to drink a lot.

At about 10:30, I opened up my fridge and saw I had a six of Dos XX, so I decided I would drink beer and play Modern Warfare 2 for a while, something I rarely get to do. About half way through my third beer I realized I had a big problem: I only had three more, and I wasn't even buzzed yet. I had some Grey Goose but decided I didn't really want to take shots of anything that expensive, and it was then that it hit me...I had a half bottle of Jaegermeister in the back of my freezer that somebody had given me like a year ago. Long story short, I ended up taking about six shots of Jaeger and chasing them with my remaining Dos XX, finishing by midnight. So in total, I had 6 beers and 6 shots in an hour and a half and got completely smashed. Modern Warfare 2 ended up being a lot more fun.

The reason I write about this is because it's a rather novel experience for me. I've never just hung out and gotten plastered alone before. I always thought it was kind of an alcoholic thing to do, but I've come to find out that as long as you're not depressed or something, it's actually rather enjoyable being drunk out of your mind by yourself and being accountable to absolutely nobody and for absolutely nothing. I think I might do it again soon.

Thoughts?

Yes, many many times and it's always a blast.

People who think its sad usually are pretty stiff :P

No. No offense, but it seems kind of sad to get drunk on your own.Mochyc

I thought this too, but trust me...it's awesome.

I've never got drunk by myself but I have gotten high by myself.xTheExploited

I literally only drink out at bars, don't even keep alcohol at home and don't drink at partiesxaos

Yes i've done this. I used to get drunk while playing World of Warcraft, would make me very emotional in Arena games. I stopped drinking recently, it's nice feeling a bit purer and not so bad in the mornings, but at the same time I kind of miss it.

haha this

drinking is just fun, period. It tastes great, and the feeling is awesome. Ideally you drink with people, but if you drink by yourself that is fine.

It's more fun to be launched out of your mind and marveling at how clever and witty other people are.

I rarely drink, and always with people. Maybe with other substances though...

No. Haven't really ever considered it really. There is a history of alcoholism in my family and I'm not willing to get myself into such things. Getting inebriated in a social drinking situation is fine, it helps lubricate social situations for me, but getting smashed is not something I enjoy. I don't like not having control of my body.

It's amazing how clever and witty people think you are once they are three sheets to the windxaos

That doesn't sound like much fun, especially considering alcohol is a depressant. Stevo_the_gamer

I never got drunk by myself, but had a few. When I get drunk I handle myself pretty well (I am very chill), but I'm honestly afraid of what I'd do if I were drunk by myself without having friends there to look out for me.

That's how alcoholism starts. Step 1: feels good man. Step 2: Alcoholics Anonymous.F1_2004

Step 3: getting drunk is still ****ing awesome.

I'm aware, it's just that doing things like so has led to other things in which can be very bad. ;)Stevo_the_gamer

I said to my bf in the character's voice "Oh, man, I'm gonna have a lot to talk about at my meeting this week." xaos

I haven't gotten drunk or even had a drink in a long time so no.

It's not different, but pot heads like to hide behind the excuse that marijuana is technically not physically addictive.

I occasonally have a few drinks by myself, but never more than enough to get slightly buzzed. I get drunk at parties, but usually stick to one drink with a meal if I'm alone.

Then why do I sometimes go into in a happy, albeit bored, state of mind and this continues throughout my drinking experience?

Some may call it alcoholism. I just call it a fun hobby.

i didn't do it just for fun, but i had a water bottle fun of gym clear (95% alcohol) so i thought why not, i'll drink some of it. i mixed some in a cup with powerade and after not even 1 cup i was feeling very buzzed, that **** knocked me on my ass.

More times than I care to think about.
