Australian advocacy group DrinkWise has continued their mission of promoting a safer drinking culture to partygoers and drinkers with their latest campaign entitled How To Drink Properly. While it’s not as simple as raising your glass to your mouth and swallowing the liquid (though the ridiculously drunk have probably forgotten how to do this very basic function, now on the same level as babies getting the “here comes the airplane” treatment when being fed by mummy), it’s a very interesting campaign.
When we go out clubbing, everyone obviously dresses to impress, even if it is just to get on the bouncer’s good books so you won’t get barred. It is human nature to check out hotties when they looking more than fine, and there’s nothing wrong with this. In fact, you’d be considered weird if you didn’t!
There’s nothing worse than when you’re having an awesome night out when suddenly, your best friend taps you on the shoulder and says they want to leave. You’re reaction is torn between ‘REALLY!?’ and ‘wah’ and you’re having such a great time that you don’t want to leave. Do you really have to? Yes, it’s generally a good idea.
Australian made craft beers have certainly gained popularity in recent years at trendy bars across Australia, and now it seems Asian craft beers are heading our way too. The founder of Asian Beer Online, Tim Brotherton, believes Japanese beers will make quite an impression with Aussie beer lovers, especially their latest brew Orion Premium Draft Beer. Dubbed as “the champagne of beers”, I spoke with Tim on his latest business venture.
Crossing the unwritten rule and forbidden barrier of ‘hooking up’ with a friend’s ex, may result in some serious repercussions by the perpetrator. This is not a topic to be considered in black and white, nor is this a decision that should be made quickly. Dating, let only sleeping with a friend’s ex, could result in the termination of a friendship.
Dang son, one of the most important things you can do in life is not look like you are some skeezy roadside Kwinana freeway crack-hound selling vials to minors. Do you have a pubey moustache/wear Dada tracky-dacks that smell suspiciously ‘piss-like’? Or are you a rich kid from Trigg whose mum lends you $50 for lunch but instead you use it to buy product to sell to that 16 yo tuppy from All Saints that you’ve guiltily had your eyes on?
Women continually question their ‘dignity’ and level of maintainable ‘respect’ when they ‘hook-up’ with a man who has already scored earlier in the night.
We all know that saying ‘If you can’t beat them, join them’. However, what does it take to enter the V.I.P world of clubbing? Everyone can slap on a tie or squish into a dress and enter a club - no biggie. Although wouldn’t it be nice to bypass the line and waltz right in like you own the joint?
With Valentine’s Day upon us, it can be easy to forget how much fun you and your friends are and dwell on the fact that you have no other half. Well stop! Yes, you may see couples everywhere and God forbid if they actually go out clubbing together in matching outfits, but you just have to have the night of your life and no, that doesn’t mean sitting around with your single friends in your lounge room talking about love that went wrong.
Blokes have been fighting over girls for literally thousands of years and although women have largely broken the shackles of oppression and are seldom used by men as trophies to display how awesome they are, it’s still a touchy subject. Most of us know that moving in on a mate’s chick can potentially destroy a friendship and yet it still happens all the time.
