1. You're supposed to go before you are drunk

2. Bring an ID

3. Take a picture of yourself and post it.

Go sober next time, Cap. It will be far more enjoyable.

Usually if they won't let me in, I go somewhere else that will let me in. Then again, most of the bars I go to are the ones that have the jukebox, the pool tables, the dartboards and mainly just sell beer and whiskey. When I am not in the mood for that, I generally head to the strip clubs.

How old you look. As a former cooler, I'd say the guy was using the ID as an excuse to keep you outside 'cause you had a head start. Those are usually the rules.

Once you're in there all you have to do is stay awake and not slur when you're ordering your next drink.

Shame you can't get some mates to go in with you. Much easier that way.

That's what I look like with the mask off - have to be fair, don't we.

Ed: Momentarily, anyway.

We'll let you know if it's jerk off material after we see it.  I'm reasonably certain the reason you've never posted one is because it's not jerk off material.

I imagine he wants a picture to tell you if the you look old enough in the picture. 

The new avatar picture is very sultry.

This is how it works - you go sober.  You sit down at the bar and order and pay for your first drink.  Smile at the men at the bar.  Someone may take you up on it.  If no one does, move on.  It is better to go with a group of similar aged girls - easier to get in, easier to get out if you need to.  Or find a male friend - even if it is your brother.

The bouncer is on the lookout for 1) underage kids with fake id 2) people already too drunk 3) troublemakers 4) hookers.  In many places anymore, if they serve someone who is too drunk (and this is very subjective but is supposed to be based on the legal limit for driving) they can lose their liquor license.  Same if you are too young.  And if some poor clown buys an underage person a drink, they can go to jail for 'contributing to the delinquency of a minor' or some similar law.  So dress up not down until you look older.

I haven't been carded in years.  I used to think it was a big imposition - now I wish I still looked that young.

cj i dont look minor he wanted other excuse not to let me in

i dont know what his fucking problem was

This is, in essence, why I don't ever drink alcohol- or huff paint.

Intoxicants make you stupid.

I seem to remember some intelligent posts from Captain Pineapple once upon a time- or am I remembering a different user?

It's depressing seeing this happen to somebody who might have once had potential.

This is not a good thing.  I sincerely hope you can get on the wagon some day, Pineapple. 

careful Pineapple. Sapient is apparently single atm... and apparently on a Canadian poontang hunt.

Well, her blog is still lucid.

The cavewoman-talk is just for us, it seems.

Haha... it takes more than bustline to get me interested.

I'm sorry [again] that I showed up drunk. I think the best thing to do next time I'm drunk would be to ignore me.

I used to be just like you.

Here's a secret that took me a long time to figure out:

You are a good person just the way you are. You don't need booze or anything else personality-altering. You need to figure out what makes YOU happy and do it and piss on everyone else who tells you otherwise. Stop trying to be what you think other people want you to be - they really don't give a shit.

Here's a little trick that helped me quit: brainwash yourself with an uplifting mantra, say it to yourself all day, every day. It works.

Mine were: 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me', 'Put on the full armor of God...' etc... (that was in my pre-zealot days.  Fairy tale or not, it got me through my darkest days).

You can make up your own atheist version.

I wish you well.

ps: raging drunks are obnoxious and impossible to ignore.

If making a few remarks on a message board is the only bad side effect that you are experiencing from heavy drinking, then I think that you are doing just fine. I mean, I have gotten pretty plastered in a few bars and had to wake up and try to figure out why I had the bruise on my eye or the swollen lip before. Then when I would telephone someone to find out,and  it would have been better not to know.

Nothing major to worry about. I mean, just look at some of these extremist theist postings that have gotten started on here today, and these were started by possibly sober theists.

I'd rather party with a drinking atheist  than argue with a sober theist. (LOL)

My guess is...it's Monday, she's probably recovering from a weekend binge and won't be back 'till she's recovered from the hangover.

When I was 25, it took about a day...at 40, it took 3 agonizing days.

Well in my opinion, if this were to become an everyday type of occurrence, a regular occurrence, or a daily event, then I would agree that this is a sign of a problem. If however, this was a somewhat isolated incident that has only happened a couple of times and alcohol is not a major control factor in the person's life, then I would say that it might not be that big of a deal. Only thing to tell someone is to be aware of their patterns and cognizant of possible future scenarios. When I was alot younger, my  behavior was a whole lot more wilder and a whole lot more out of control. There would have been no amount of advice that someone could have given me, in my younger days, that would have made me do anything any different. From my own personal experience, a person has to feel that they have a problem before they can actually do anything about their problem.

Here was the reason I posted what I did.

The few times in my life, when the situation got out of hand, or that something really stupid happened, as a result of my behavior, the feelings of embrassment and humiliation were pretty high. Anyone addressing me about a recent event when it happened, seemed to only make it worse. I was only trying to let her know, that if this incident is a source of embarassment, that she does not have to just beat herself up over it and feel like there would be some sort of harsh judgement as a result. I am not saying that someone needs to constantly stay intoxicated and put themselves into serious situations. But I just meant that done is done, and it is no reason for her to feel like she might not be wanted here. I thought that throwing a couple of light hearted lines into it, might ease any tension.

I second this.  Capt. Pineapple is always welcome, drunk or sober.  And it is relatively safe to post here when drunk.  I hope we are friends, here.

HAHAHAHA I have never had a hangover, and I have had the pleasure of drinking with the best of them, irish, newfies, polish, germans, and many other folks, drinking till the wee hours of the morning as the sunrises.....and then having breakfast.....although I would recommened not having a german breakfast....I still can't remember what the hell it was, but didn't taste that good with a belly full of beer and jager. But still never had a hangover, no headaches, throwing up or anything to that sorts. Now at 35 i don't drink that much at all, cut down to every other weekend or with a meal if I eat out. Now I do not like Grappa or goldschlager or any black liquorice flavoured alcohol, although I have had to have them in my nights of drinking (damn the greeks and their Ouzo!!!!!! ) but still I have never had anything I cannot stomach (tequila being my favorite alcohol, next to Guinness). I never understood how people get hangovers.....could be the lack of drinking water before going to bed? I have seen people having hangovers and puking of course many nights, but I have never experienced a hangover.

Possibly the greatest ever thread by the Captain.
