I have been realizing this point myself, BUT sometimes I just get ramped up and keep going!
Who drinks on a work/school night?

With age comes wisdom....
I drink some on work nights. Problem is that I usually have so much to do and if I have 2 drinks I just want to pass out...
So I found out it opened on Monday. For nine people, it was $1200.
EDIT: That includes tax and tip and we went all out on really good wine, so really, that's pretty reasonable.
Hahaha. Um. I think we were talking about drinking the night before a workday, not drinking at work. Weren't we?
That's pretty decent..... if it's good.
Typically I don't drink on school nights. If I do its normally a beer maybe two. Friday afternoons I'll bust into the desk drawer, especially if I took the bus OR the wife dropped me off.
I do know that I don't recover near as well and that I'm better off drinking as long as I can with as little sleep as I can manage. Putting the hangover off until a little later in the day always seems to work better for me.

I used to when I was in the swing of college where an average night of drinking was at least like 12 or 14 beers. But now if I have like 6 or 8 beers and dont hydrate I get pretty bad hangovers. Liquor I dont really have a problem with though I dont think, although I cant remember the last time I consumed mass quantities of it.
OGWino to the front of the store please. OGWino to the front of the store please.
Drink a 12 pack of *shudder* Bud Light *shudder* then you deserve to feel like crap the next day.
Admitting to budlite drinking is usually enough to get you banned from this forum.
Naw... it won't get him banned.Drink a 12 pack of *shudder* Bud Light *shudder* then you deserve to feel like crap the next day.
But let the merciless heckling begin!
Yeah. But I usually have a ton of crap to do when I come home from work (work-related or not).
W3rd.
Depends when I have class....8 AMs...no way, but I can get to a 9 or 10 class having gone out the night before. I have a bad habit of waking up before I want to if I go to sleep drunk, so a lot of times on the weekends I wake up early feeling like crap while everyone else sleeps off their hangover.
I too wake up early after over imbibing. Since alcohol is a depressant a withdrawal symptom is increased brain activity.
During college there was a definite trend towards drinking on school nights. Mostly during finals week, but sometimes a six pack or two would be split between me and my roommate just cause we needed to relax and have a chat. BBQ or some nice dinner with two or three bottles of wine was done at least 3 times a month with a friend of mine who had a nice collection.
I thought that getting out of school would get me off of the booze cruise, but the last few months the group I hang out with has been going on week to month long benders with most of us riding bikes and drinking every night. There have been a few rough mornings and due to working at 6am every morning I have cut back to almost nil.
It was getting out of hand and with a history of alcoholism in my family I just didn't want to wake up at 28 and realize I was "that guy". Not to say I don't enjoy a beer or two, but I spent 2 years drinking enough for several people, I'm kind of over it. Ironically I work at a bar once or twice a week.
But answer to your question, yes. I do. Not so much anymore. I have some fun stories to tell and some very blurry memories because of it all.

Short story time. For reference, I've included the specifics for effect only.
-I'm 6'7" 265ish
-Tuesday night
-Start work @ 7:30am
-Work in an environment that's no less than 60 decibels at any time
So I go to this Crystal Method concert with a bunch of friends on a Tuesday night. Start drinking at a pre-funk house party at 6pm. Get to the concert at 9 (We're maybe 10 minutes walk away from the venue...so a good 2:45 of drinking occurs). CM goes on at 10:30. Drink a lot more while at the concert. CM's set is over at 12:15am (I have to be ready to work in 7 hours....). I remember doing three 151 shots right before the last song. Once I hit the outside air, my mind goes blank. (I remember the concert, but not how much I drank.) I have vague recollections of riding in the back of a jeep wrangler (I don't even fit in the front seats...so figure that acrobatic act out...), eating some microwaved orange chicken (god I hope that was chicken), and looking for my pants (Although I can't for the life of me, figure out why I took them off in the first place). Finally get to sleep at around 3:30am. Woke up at 7:00, still fitshaced, come into the office and proceed to work my hangover off (once it started about 4 hours later...). No pukie either...I was quite impressed with myself....prolly woulda felt better if I had though...
Good night... but, worst.....day......ever.
Now I try to keep it to a 6-pack at most if I have to work the next day...Might be a 6-pack of some 7.5% IPA....but it's only 6.

I have a beer just about every night. Usually only one with dinner but I only drink good beer so it is usually in the 6% range. Any more and I'll start to catch a buzz and it'll knock me out for the night. Life as a cheap date.
Rarely.
I've been falling on the wagon recently. I've spent enough time in my life slightly pickled that it has gotten old. I had 3 beers Sunday night and felt hungover monday morning. I must be getting old.
yes.
we drink at least a bottle of wine every night but rarely over 2 bottles on work/school nights.
except for the last two weeks because a friend from Denmark was here & it was pretty much a 14 day bender....& we didnt really count but i did go into work a little buzzed a few mornings. Now i feel like a good detox & visit to Betty Ford.

This post would've had a much greater effect if you had posted this at 11:32 AM...but I digress...
This is what I cracked open last night!!
omg...it's soooooo nice! I'm going to have to go get a couple more for the near future.
I drink wine with dinner every night. we are trying to cut back fora number of reasons, mainly money. Our wine budget is out of control. When I made myself get up and run in the morning, I drank a lot less. Now that I have become lazy it's a lot easier to polish of a bottle a night.
We had a house guest that had me tearing it up like some kind of pro drinker but he has gone and I am trying to reclaim a light weight drinking status.
