I was watching the Real World last nite, did yous see it?

Well anyways, I was extrememly irritated, when they made this poor sweet girl, who likes to party a lot, oout to be an alcoholic. Okay, she had a pretty high tolerance, and does shots every nite.

I'm thinking that doesn't make you an alcoholic. EVERYONE, well, mostly everyone, goes through a phase in their lives, wether its in college, high school, when you turn 21, whatever, where ya go out and get hammered EVERY SINGLE NITE.

THAT does not mean your an alcoholic, rite? Jeez.

Is this Real World: Denver?

if you're doing shots every night, regardless of age, that's a problem IMO.

yeah, did you see? i love this gorl, she so reminds me of me, and i feel like these people were lashing out at her just cuz she like to have fun.

Well, not EVERY nite, but like 4 nites a week, everyone does this at some poinmt in life.

StepfordWive said:

yes, they do, but that doesn't erase the fact that it's a problem. Maybe not "alcoholic" problem, but it isn't good.

StepfordWive said:

I did tune in, but I couldn't hang. Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I think my interest in watching young people is quickly waning.

jerseykrs said:

Rite. Thats kinda what I'm sayin. Not an alcoholic, cuz you can stop if ya want. Ya just mite not want to yet cuz your having a good time. I don't think it's something people should approach you and get all shitty about it.

Ace said:

Oh Gawd, this is STARTING just starting to happen to me too. I've noticed I'm tuning in to more adult like shows, like 'What about Brian'. Does this mean I'm getting old?

StepfordWive said:

Everyone does what? Drink four nights a week?

Stymie said:

Not EVERYONE. But most people, that I know, anyways.....do, or have at one point in their life.

StepfordWive said:

I wasn't getting on you. I just didn't understand your statement.

StepfordWive said:

Shots every night? Or a beer or 2 every night?

Stymie said:

No, I know. I'm explaining, what I meant. Yeah, most people, at some point, 4 nites 6 nite, or 10 nites a week. Whatever.

DarkKnight1 said:

Both, one or the other, or any kind of alcohol.

I'm just stating, that because you like to drink in excess, because you happen to be blessed with high tolerance to alcohol, doesn't make you an alcoholic, rite?

StepfordWive said:

It kinda depends. Are you using the alcohol as an escape, or just for fun?

DarkKnight1 said:

I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about this girl. I haven't drank in a while, but both, I guess. An escape from stress, and to have fun.

StepfordWive said:

I agree. We've all been young.

retina said:

Thank you.

Some people are just hall moniterish about stuff. I get so pissed.

StepfordWive said:

Guess it depends on the person. If their behavior changes like the weather, then I would be concerned.

retina said:

We've all been young but I've never drunk that much. Even now, I drink once a month, tops.

Stymie said:

I'm sure you have other qualities to compensate for that.

cheers, sweetie!

in my opinion - if u are doin shots every night ... or nearly every night ... u may have a problem .... i mean ... shots are to get high or to get shitfaced ... in general ....

when i was in europe ... i was amazed how everyone over the lunch hour would just drink a beer or somethin .... alcoholics!~

but having some wine or a beer ... hey ... i dont know ....i think whenever you feel that you NEED to get shitfaced or looped ... then there is a problem .... just my opinion ... but i will admit i do NOT understand the alcoholic thingy ...

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Rite, and theres nothing wrong with that, rite?

StepfordWive said:

Actually, it does. I know from experience.
