Just saying that no one seems to think its less fun because its legal. Nice reading. Also you never answered the question about binge drinking. I can't understand your point until you describe your criteria for it.
I'd buy her beer for a 10% fee, I'm sure many would. Silly law.
I'd buy her it for a different kinda fee.jord wrote:

After July when I turn 18, of course.
'binge drinking' is drinking for the sake of drinking- imbibing a week's worth of units in the space of a night; making a social occasion out of drinking rather than having a social occasion with drinking; excess and intoxication to the point of illness or inability/disability; to have a 'binge' on 'drink'. come on, it's not very difficult- do you want me to 'define my criteria' in terms of millilitres? units of alcohol? bottles of beer? use some fucking imagination.

Yeah obviously quantity matters. Just curious because researcher inflate binge drinking stats by using such a low threshold for drinking. Five doesn't get any guy drunk, and it doesn't seem its actually a binge unless you get drunk. It seems though that you qualititatively answered it so I'm satisfied. Thanks for answering with only one swear word. I'm very impressed.Uzique wrote:

Binge drinking is the buzzword of the 21st centrury in the UK. Drinking in excess at the weekends rather than spreading out alcohol in moderation throughout the week has been going on for a century. It's now that it has a buzzword and can attach itself to the cretinous generation that is the 18-25 year old brits. Politics.
But binge drinking surely isn't slowly churning through a six-pack apiece with three or four friends while watching a game of football, is it?
No it's going to the pub and drinking a shit ton to the point of "bezzering" complete strangers, punching your 8 year old brother and trying to hump your nan...
It's just got a name now, where as it didn't in the 70's/80's/90's. You know the people that did it in them decades and are now condemning it.

i wonder how nuk will feel when he looks back on himself in 10 years; at the language, the haughty implied arrogance, the exceptionalism...
what a bizarre, socially-disjointed young man.
also, i beseech you, we are in the (post-)modern era now, nuk. thought no longer needs to be vociferous and circumlocutory. writers such as woolf, joyce, beckett, proust and (later on) carver have wrangled with the discourses of our modern era in order to establish a new way of thought and communication. in other words, stop posting like you're in a fucking dickensian novel and learn the meaning of the word 'laconic'.

If she comes up here, I'll buy her all the alcohol she wants, but I get to bang her as much as I want.
I fail to see how it is possible to enforce that.
