When i'd go out on the weekends in my twenties and early thirties. I'd have a lot of social anxiety and would combat this by drinking more so I could loosen up and have fun. And i'd always end up to drunk and meesy to have a good time. I thought drinking midstrength beer was weak, but if I was to do it all again. I'd be aware that I drink way to fast and try to keep my head in the game by drinking beer that wouldn't get me so drunk. Now I drink full strength, but I drink at home so I limit myself by only buying a certain amount.
-
When I was a kid, mum did a lot of yelling, and I took this on as an appropriate response to upset. To yell at people's faces. And there was a stage in my early thirties where I thought I was right by yelling at people who did in my eye's the wrong thing, I was justified. What I really did was have people turn on me, I yelled at two or three of my friends for their behaviour and thought I did the right thing, but I just turned people against me and caused trouble for myself. Yelling is a stupid response to upset and rarely solves any issues, because it is a form of anger and aggression, it's way smarter if you can be in the right headspace, just to talk to people in an assertive manner, but until I was about thirty five, any issues I had that would hit a nerve would cause me act it out in ways that weren't healthy.
-
When drinking and drunk I'm sure I did a lot of stupid shit that was funny and witnessed a lot of stupid shit. But the thing is I really can't remember, not because I was to drunk, but because, time has got the better of me.

trying to impress girls instead of having fun with them
-
told off that pregnant girl at the pub
-
Thought I was to good for the girls that took an interest
-
The most annoying thing about nightclubs and pubs with live music for me was not being able to hear anything anyone said. So i'd have the option of not hearing then smiling and giving the thumbs up, hoping that that response aligned with what they said, or I could say I can't hear fifty times and be an annoying fuck.
-
telling girls I'm a web designed

Stupid shit I did when drunk

some bouncers not liking you

So many Friday and Saturday nights were ruined in my early thirties by me and my mates putting all our money through the pokies until we were broke and had to go home early. I had one of my school mates come to visit where I lived when I left school and he blew all his dough within hours of getting there, I did the same many times when I travelled back to my home town, my thinking was that I don't have enough for the weekend so I'll have to win more, but nine time out of ten it just made me broke and forced me to bludge of others to get drunk and stoned and smoke, it was a sad era in my life.
-
rapping- At some stage I got into freestyle rapping, my mates were always wowed at the shit I could rhyme when I was off my chops. That or they were encouraging me because I sucked but I think it was because I was good at it. This other tongan guy came into our group and he could freestyle for two or three minutes without breaking his flow. I was lucky if I lasted half a minute before I stumbled. We were good mates until I started taking our rap battles a little to seriously because I wanted to be the best. He took it well he told me I was too much instead of punching me in my fat face.

One of my friends used to always try and set me up with girls that I thought were unworthy. I don't know what he thought of his choice of partner but he thought that my standards were that low that he'd try and set me up with low-value women. I'm not sure weather he wanted me to be with someone that would lessen my value or wether he thought that's all I was capable the, the dude always played me down and talked like I was nothing more than a fool, he would even talk about me while I was around like I was a problem to be managed. He must have thought because I had a mental illness he could treat me like I wasn't able to manage myself, even though despite the place I was in at the time, full of paranoia and delusion, I was still switch on, and had better motives and morals than his own. He did his best to play out that he was far superior to me, and I wasn't on his level. The reality was he wasn't on my level, and once I overcame problems associated with my mental illness I had to drop him even thought in many ways I liked him, but he was doing me dirty to keep me low, and I was sick of ignoring it. I dumped all my friends from that period, but I didn't dump all of them because I no longer wanted them in my life, it's just that the culture of drinking, drugs and smoking wasn't conducive to a healthy lifestyle and mindset.

my belt buckle falling off
-
My advice for people thinking about getting drunk and stoned, get stoned first, then get drunk, not the other way around.
-
Men love to get together and do stuff, that's when we have the most fun. Playstation was a big one for my friends, or watching football. Both were boring to me, but playing sport was always a highlight for me even though I'm not very sporty. I liked talking about what we were doing while we were doing it, and playing unofficial unwanted referee. A bit of back yard cricket while having a beer on a sunny afternoon where you had no further responsibilities for the day is a great deal of fun.

meat market

Just remember guys, if you need to have alcohol to have fun and you don't have a living wage. You need to bludge of everyone, don't just target one friend and bleed him dry. Even if he's just going to put all that money through the pokies anyway.
-
If your drinking the left over alcohol from peoples tables you've either got a drinking problem, a money problem, or hepatitis, generally all three.
-
If you lack confidence and esteem and suffer from anxiety around people, especially those you don't know well, the pub is not the place for you, its not a game you're going to win at, its not a place to pick up girls unless your really good looking because your friends will give you advice about how to act and how to be, but that is not going too help you confidence, you need to focus on activities than are healthy either for your body or your mind, get good at something, have a focus beyond a paycheck, its so hard when your young to be by yourself on a Friday and Saturday night when you're young, but if your options are be alone and partying, learn to be alone, because your issues wont be solved at the pub and you wont get the full experience because you don't have the confidence for it. its hard because if you spend peak party time alone and you have a taste for it you feel isolated and alone. put your efforts into people who are living upright lives, even if you don't feel worthy, even the act of considering it means you are worthy.
-
if a girl was interested i would ruin it
-
I've wasted many a good weekend being too hungover to function. I'm so grateful that I learned if not later than I should that you don't need to drink to excess to have a good time. And you shouldn't priorities a good time now for a terrible time later.
-
I've ruined many a good night by starting on beer and ending on spirits.
-
I've only ever met a girl that would go onto be my girlfriend once at a pub, it lasted two or three years. There are far better places to find you future partner than at a meat market. Don't that everyone goes to pubs to find a partner. Plenty are just there to get their end in, but plenty in the back of their mind a looking for that special someone. I don't know how it plays out these days with tinder and the like, I'd assume even more based on appearances. Find a woman of substance guys!
-
I've only ever blacked out a handful of times while drinking when I couldn't remember anything, but plenty of time I've laid in bed with the world spinning around where I felt like I was touching the abyss and a feeling of depressive darkness and empyness, I hated that feeling.
-
I'd get stoned and think the TV was talking about me, which was good when I thought it was positive, then it would turn nasty and I'd think people in the media hated me. I'm glad I don't get delusional any more, but I still get paranoid even without the pot. Yesterday there was a smell of chemical in the house and I thought someone had sprayed a toxin in the airconditioner to poison us. But I'm used to thoughts like that now. I'm chill about it. Back in the day I'd start looking for clues.
-
I would hardly ever buy girls drinks at the pub and most expect it for their time. Besides always being broke I always felt I was being played or used, and they had no real interest in me, I was just funding their fun. That's why I never got laid.
-
I would go out with girls I hooked up with
-
I was at my most socially on extasy, although I have had it a limited number of times it didn't aggravate my mental illness. I've never been as extraverted as I was on exctasy.
-
i was 77% right
-
I used to play poker with my mates, but whatever skill is needed to play poker. I just don't have. I won $50 in a game of poker at my house once. I left the $50 on the table and some cunt stole it.
-
I used to have the best fun at parties at my friends house but at a certain point we'd wind up at the night club where I tried hard to enjoy myself but most of the time didn't. I really just didn't know when to call it a night, always waiting and hoping that my sad story was about to improve.
-
I used to go to the pub and call people out for being arseholes by freestyle rap battling them, they were so stunned they'd just stop what they were doing. It never lead to me getting a black eye. I broke up the odd fight. I thought I was pretty cool but most people probably thought I was a dickhead.
-
I used to get stoned to be productive but all i did was get high off my thoughts and was sort of mobilised when it came to actions like writing down those thoughts. I used to have such regret about aLL the ideas i'd let vanish out of my mind leaving only the residue that those thoughts were something special. In truth I don't really think I missed much, just hald-baked hot air.
-
I used to dance using my upper body at night clubs, I was an ok dancer, I could find the rythym, but my friend showed me that you dance with you hips, its a way more suggestive type of dance so I wasn't very comfortable with it. But that's the ticket to letting the women on the dance floor know you're virile and down to pound.
-
I remember going to the pub with one my cooler associates I'd hang out with rarely and I started freestyle rapping with them like I'd do with other mates and he ran off in embarrassment. He was particularly protective of his image. I'm not sure it was because I was crap or that it was just a weird thing to do. I was one crazy motherfucker, but some people appreciated it I thought. But maybe they thought it was funny watching a dickhead bust out in freestyle rap at the pub. I suppose you have to be a bit insane to do something like that.
-
I once had a good go at a girl at the pub who was obviously pregnant. She was smoking and drinking. I felt bad because she was just trying to take her mind of the fact that she was still young and had gotten herself knocked up, but I was doing her a favour because her baby was more likely to end up all fucked up if she kept doing it, then she'd have a lifetime of misery, silly bitch.
-
I never understood why my mates would spend $10 on a can of some spirit with coke. It seemed like such a waste when you could get a beer for $4. But I've never had enough income where I didn't have to think about how much money I was blowing. Plus I'm sure there is upsides to those types of drinks, less bloating for one. And I really don't know what else, the taste, being hardcore.
-
I never felt confident enough during my nightclub years to go over and dance with women. I was far to self-consious because I was doing it to have fun with the opposite sex, and to enjoy a moment together, I was saying I want to be with you, and that would make it hard for me to be natural and enjoy myself because my agenda was to impress and be selected not be with or show them a good time. I'd still get drunk and dance but i'd either dance by myself and sort of hover around the ladies that interested me or i'd dance with my mates which could be fun, but if that's all your doing it can be a bit offputting and make the women think your more interested in your mates, who if you have enough confidence might. let you dance with them and there friends. It also helps if you can play the numbers game and you can handle the odd rejection. Still I enjoyed dancing when my mind was not totally consumed with the desperation of wanting to be selected by one of these ladies. It helps if your fit and good looking, it also helps if you can dance, but confidence and being able to be in the moment and have fun goes a long way to overcoming any shortcomings to an extent

I don't see how these guys at the pub order wiskey and redbull don't spontaneously combust.

I don't know how many times I had a big night where I wouldn't go to sleep and be up to see the sun rise. It's been a long time since I did it last. I felt like a bit of a legend stay up till midnight new years eve, but went to bed shortly after it hit twelve.

By my early thirtees I had started smoking rolling tobacco because it was cheaper and lasted longer. I ended up getting pretty good at rolling cigarettes. Yu've got to wonder how your going in life when one of your sources of self-esteem is how well you roll tobacco. I really had given up on shaving at this stage and my moustache would get full of black tar where my rolled cigarette would sit in my mouth, it was pretty gross. These days I generally have white gunk at the sides of my mouth due to always having a big nicotine mint in my mouth. Out of the two looks I think the white gunk is a little less grotty.

buying girls drinks

Boys talking hard core like they were gangsta

Bouncer have far to much power over people who just want to have a good time, and beat up the guy who spilt their beer.
-
Between sharing bongs and asking for puffs of other peoples cigarettes, I'm really surprised I never caught hep b, just plenty of colds and lung infections.
-
Because I was a chain smoker the huge amounts of nicotine I would ingest would always make me paranoid and delusional. It really did affect my mental health, And the more mental I was the more I leant on my cigarettes to calm my anxiety creating a negative feedback loop.
-
At one stage I was at the pub telling my friends I was 77% right. I was so caught up in my own delusions that although I knew I wasn't right about everything, but I knew the exact percentage I was right about - WANKER! [Schizophrenia + Marijuana = Paranoia + Delusion.
-
As a kid, my mum used to scream at us a lot when she was angry. In my twenties I thought screaming was entirely appropriate if you were upset with someone. Into my early thirtees I was quite unwell and there were times where I'd scream at friends who had wronged me or did the wrong thing. This damaged my relationships with my drinking buddies but I though it was appropriate or even admirable because I was in the right and I let the have it and put them in their place. In reality I just caused harm especially to myself. These days I rarely scream, maybe once or twice a year when I'm really angry at my wife. Screaming doesn't help people learn their lessons. It just makes them resent you. It happens and people forgive, but if it's your mode for dealing with problems with others your damaging the strengths of your relationships.
-
As someone with paranoia the worst people for me were the ones were got a kick out of feeding that paranoia when I was stoned, for shits and giggles. That being said I can see the humour in it and only because I've been on the other side of it, that I wouldn't think that was a good way to have some fun while being stoned with the boys.
-
At one stage I used to drink drive a bit, then I went DUI. It's stupid and reckless and a fools game. If your in a group of friends where it's socially acceptable to drink drive, either be the guy who says it's not or get new friends down at the park.
