Like with any traditional pastime, there are certain unspoken do’s and don’ts. Drinking is no exception. This comprehensive list has been compiled to help prevent you breaching the laws and to help recognise breaches by drinking establishments.
There are those people who you get along with really well but only when you are out drinking. They make your night funner, you make there’s funner. But the friendship seems to dwindle with the coming of the hang over. You don’t speak to them all week and they don’t contact you either.
On an ordinary night out, yes I would usually be drinking. I was all over the vodka lemonades and wet pussy shots, dancing like Beyonce and getting home when it was daylight. But as the nights get darker and the air is colder, I’ve swapped the heels for boots and the alcohol for my car keys and been the designated driver doing good deeds for my friends on a night out.
When you think about it, nightclubs are where we are at our most animalistic. The d-floor is littered with sweaty, pheromone oozing bodies, gyrating in time with the rhythmic and primal vibrations of drum and bass. We actually go to them in order to attract a mate with the girls showing off a lot of skin and some of the guys acting downright predatory.
I don’t know if anybody will care about this nor am I particularly confident that sharing this information on an international platform will not result in me never being eligible for legitimate employment, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. After reading this guy’s column on Vice, I’m questioning my life choices.
We all go out on the weekend to party away and have a great night out. But you know who doesn’t get to have a great Friday or Saturday night? Doctors and ambos. They’ve already got a miserable job as it is, and we go and rub it in by seeing them because of the result of our stupid, yet fun, drunken antics. You can imagine how jelly they must get.
Perth is a strange little berg so isolated from the rest of the world and you “t’other siders” on the east coast that we’ve developed our own unique dialect. Seeing as my state’s sole love is to dig things up and repave roads, I imagine that in 10 to 15 years time, the city will be nothing more than a giant pit surrounded by cranes, perhaps in the shape of Clive Palmer’s scrotum.
Selfies are big business right now and anyone who says they are vain/immature/lame/atrocious is living in some sort of deluded version of reality. They are so great. Selfies are a liberating and decisive mode of personal photography and anything liberating and decisive in this day and age is valuable and should be cherished.
Let’s not delude ourselves, we all know binge drinking will never be good for your health, nor will it ever be good for your waistline; but we also know this is not going to stop you (or me for that matter). However, there are a number of things you can do to reduce the effects of binge drinking on your health and weight, regardless of whether you do it every weekend, or once a month.
There’s no denying it, Sydney is a very expensive place for a night out. Sydney is considered the third most expensive city in the world. This is based on ‘cost of living’, but hey, what’s living without going out.
So how can you save some cash while avoiding options like drinking goon in a random park?
