Pre-drinking..

[Eddie Hitler]

Is it something you do before heading out?

Personally, it takes alot for me to get drunk. So to save some money (and not get raped on drinks when I'm out), I have a few before leaving. I remember seeing stories in the news about the problem of pre-drinking, personally I don't see the issue.

Oh, and yeh. I am drinking right now. Funny stories to be posted tomorrow, probably. And they won't be funny.

No, I'm not 15.

[Clutchy]

No because it only takes 8 pints and a few shots in the space of 3 hours for me to be battered anyway

I have the odd drink because I like the drink, not because I want to get battered, lose my phone, injure myself and wake up in the morning feeling like shit wondering how good the night before was.

I don't get the point of having a drink at home first so it's cheaper to get unconscious when you do go out.

When I go out I tend to pre drink. It saves you money and you can have a good chat with the lads before going out.
I dont see it as a problem at all and when the news wants to give a kick to the 'younger generation' they just bring this up.
I never knew that nobody drank at home before going out 10 years ago

I rarely drink, last time I did was on the way back from Spain, on a boat... bad times.

I'm a lightweight due to a liver problem so 1 7% cider and I'm fucked. 5 San Miguels.... oooooops

[Llama-Farmer]

Depends who I'm going out with and what I'm going out for.

If I'm going to a club, then generally the idea will be to get drunk, so drinking in advance makes it cheaper.

If it's the once-a-year get together with old school friends between Christmas and New Year then usually will go round to someones flat in town and meet up there and drink first. Gives everyone a chance to set off "into town" at the same time, no chance of someone getting left behind if we move from bar to bar, and also with only seeing most of them once a year, gives you a better place to chat and catch up with them than a noisy bar or club.


But then there are times where I'll be going out with a few people just to the pub or a bar, and so not really planning to get drunk, and drinks aren't so expensive anyway, so won't need to pre-drink.


At uni, pre drinking was sometimes just you and your housemates getting drunk, or at least halfway there, at home before going into town. Now I'm in my 20s, pre drinking is a socialising event in itself, with more than just housemates, before going somewhere else.

I don't know why, but I don't really drink. Yes, I do have a pint or two when I go to pub, but I never get drunk. Last time I got drunk it was my mate's wedding and, well, they say I had a laugh.
I've just gone soft, I guess. No throwing up/down from 7th floor all over neighbour's balconies, no more going drunk to Tesco's at 3:00 morning to do some drunk shopping and so on, no more mister drunk guy.

Its not 'pre-drinking', its fucking drinking. If you wanna have a drink, have one, don't try and dress it up as something cool.

I had to type some stuff at work today. I wasn't 'pre-typing' in anticipation of making this post.

pre drinking is always a winner. Not only that, but it is a part of the night you are guaranteed good music

If I'm with a group of friends, we'll have a drink or two and then head out to continue the evening. Not "pre-drinking" or what-ever you want to call it - just another stage of the evening.

If I'm going out to meet people then whats the point in turning up already half drunk? Makes you seem like a bit of a tit. If I just want to get blasted (as I do sometimes) then I order a kebab and get cracking on the cider at home, cheaper and less hassle.

[metalangel]

Yes. Went out with a friend to a birthday party at a bar, she came over with a bottle of wine for us to drink with dinner before we headed out.

We've also come home from being out (having decided to stop drinking out due to the cost) and had more here.

It's not where you're drinking so much as whether you become an obnoxious/violent pisshead, which will happen regardless, right?

I personally would encourage pre drinking for those who wish it.

I would also completely withdraw any medical treatment in hospital A&Edepartments for anyone over the drink drive limit.

To be fair, it's a good idea and one I wish more people would adopt. Admittedly the knock on effect would be even higher prices at the clubs...

But yeh, starting early allows you to maintain a level at a later point. So certainly before hitting a club, go nuts.

But pre-drinking before you hit a pub seems a bit odd...

Sneaking a small bottle of something strong in with you is usually much wiser, even if it's just to drink in the queue.

I'd be more inclined to have a pre-drink spliff, rather than commence the drinking aspect before I left the house.

But then, I don't drink much anyway.

Might have a pre-think spliff just now, though.
Set meself up for a day of random inanity.

Seeing as how its a Friday and everything
