My friend doesn't trust me with his girlfirend

6000 old man, note that I'm attacking your excuse making factory here more than what actually happened.

You're just setting a pretext for justfying it to happen again. And now you're sober! wtf?

Like said, excuses, nothing but excuses.

[Pekka]

I agree with KH 100%. Alcohol doesn't make you do stupid things that goes totally against your own moral code. It lowers the obstacles, sures, but you still won't go against what you don't want to do.

It's like this.. I've never been into more hostile parties than the ones we have in our department with all the coders. There are so many mofos who get hostile and violent and loud like nothing else. It's like their 'get out of jail'-card. They've been kicked in the head and prolly they think themselves as nerds too but when they get some booze in them, they start acting like total d1cks. NOT ALL of them. But some I know personally.

And yeah, they blame it on booze too. But to their defense, they drink like once a year. It's like the whole Tyler Durden thing.

@ Pekka.

So naive... Someday, you'll realize that the world is not as cut and dried as you'd like it to be.

[KrazyHorse]

Oh, sweetheart.

The world is wonderfully simple when you have clear moral priorities which you actually believe in, instead of merely paying them lip-service.

[KrazyHorse]

Don't call others naive, when we're simply better people than you are.

[Pekka]

I'm not naive. I know the world is FULL of people who shouldn't drink.

I'm not as naive to think, that people don't betray their friends. People stab their friends backs all the time.

But booze is no excuse.

ROFL @ this thread now...

I mean, come on... all you supposedly intelligent people are insisting that you NEVER, EVER make mistakes in judgment (even when impaired). Hilarious!

I guess your belief in your own infallibility helps you take your preaching seriously

I can't wait for the "I slept with my friend's girlfriend! What should I do now?" thread.

[Pekka]

Of course we make mistakes, but not mistakes of that caliber.

I've said things I wish I didn't say when drunk. But I can't say it's a constant problem. I've been clumsy when I'm drunk and known to knock off few objects from the table. I'm known to have passed in peoples flats when I wasn't supposed to. But no, I didn't put my penis where it didn't belong. That requires special talent.

You just don't get it do you? What we're trying to say is if you know you can't control yourself while drunk, maybe you shouldn't drink eh?

Even if we were naive, at least we have the backbone of following our moral code with no problems at all. And we sleep our nights in peace for that. And I know I'm been judgemental, but at least I'm not defending my position on betraying friends.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Shades of grey, Pekka. But that concept seems to be beyond your grasp. Oh well, you'll learn it someday. Come back and tell us, sometime.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

I dunno pekka and KH have a point. I go out and drink alone and have no inkling of cheating on tubers after drinking. That is jsut something not to be considered. And I have no problems telling a fellow to fu## off if he starts to hit on me while i am under the influence

No, the concept of alcoholism is very familiar. You're in denial face right now.

People don't do what they don't want to do while they're drunk. They just have less obstacles doing what they want to do normally too.

[KrazyHorse]

People just become more of who they really are when drunk.

I'm still fascinated at the concept of me being called a man-slut.
