All righty... I once rode with a mate from N London over 200 miles on my mountainbike on hard pumped up nobbly tyres, including a good section of the SDW to catch the 94 TDF, then all the way back to N London and still had enough energy to go out rave/clubbing that night till 6am. Suffice to say a mere fraction of that these days would prove fatal to me

Ok, 5 day trip on a virtual non lander to Sweden on a casino ship with all the other pleasures onboard. This was in the days of duty free. Had a cabin and saw it for about an hour. Saw Gothenburg for about that too. I remember very little. I'm sure it was very nice.

If i tried that now i would be dead.

I think that when you get to a certain age, one evening is all you can cope with - any more is a killer.

Have to say, though - never really understood it - what's the big draw to getting shitfaced on booze? I don't get it.

I can understand mildly drunk - I see the loss of inhibitions, the "social lubricant" so to speak. But as tantamount to waving your wang around, or consuming as much as possible, I don't understand.

Is it some narcisstic self-destruction, or Tyler-Durden-esque desire to hit rock bottom?

It is something that was done in younger days, as per the last post - i am too old to cope now.

The reason for attraction - i have no idea.

I haven't been legless for years. The secret is to become 'merry' then maintain it.

I rarely have more than a couple of pints. The above requires more and I'm not interested these days.

Some fannies think it makes them look hard to drink x shots or x pints. Most wouldn't be quite so mental if I offered them a needle of brown or a bag of sweeties. They're plebs who think they're rocking the boat but are actually conforming to social norms for wankers.

Basically because they're fannies. Nothing more.

To be found in any chain bar on a Friday or anywhere with a test your punch strength machine. A true fanny magnet.
