I say the same thing when I drink.

I had a classmate who argued that the best part of drinking was falling unconscious. He did it fairly often.

It's the least useful bit of nanny-news since last year's revelation that pregnant women can allow themselves two units of their favoured poison, twice a week, without ill-effect, even if they'd much prefer a couple of Mars Bars deep-fried in charcoal.

Well if it's such a useful piece of news why write a 500 word article about it? Women! You make me sick!

Did you ever lift his wallet?

So there's no point in asking you for a drink?

You keep track of your drinking when you're not drinking? Kind of odd to constantly keep in mind that you're not drinking.

I think his friends did to pay off the cab fare. At least they took him along. Mostly.

Ah, imagine all the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome babies. The worst damage is done within the first 8 weeks after conception, well before most of these binge drinking women will notice something is amiss. I wonder how much of the UK crime rate from kids doing stupid, violent things for no apparent reason is tied to their mummies caring more about having fun than if they have a child with impaired brain and neurological function.

I'm a woman that has her drinking under control so i'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

/Once when I was 16 I was so drunk I passed out on the sidewalk and threw up into the sewer on the street.
//In broad daylight.
///3pm to be exact.
///Friends were with me though so it was ok.
////TOO MANY SLASHIES!

I've often wondered what my limit is. I always pass out before I hit it.

Nothing. This has come up loads of times wrt Grauniad links, they include the whole comment column under its main headline even where there was more than one subject.

If he does it on tile or wood: ring him with beer bottles like a chalk outline. It makes for a hell of a morning.

I loved my time in England, and I'd go back in a heartbeat (hopefully I will for grad school). I especially liked the weather (apparently the only person who does), but that could just be the novelty of cold and wet.

So what you're saying is that women shouldn't ever have fun just in case they're pregnant and haven't noticed yet? Or should they get a test before each time they go out drinking?

8 weeks after conception, most women should notice that they missed a period.

I never understood why some people act like they are unable to have fun unless they've chemically altered themselves. Hell, they're telling women who aren't pregnant to take folic acid in case they do get pregnant to prevent possibly having kids with spina bifida. What's so strange about telling women not to binge drink in case they might be pregnant? We're not talking about a beer with lunch or a glass of wine with dinner. We're talking about the twits who get so drunk they can barely walk or talk. They're pretty much bathing the fetus in poison. But of course, a truly liberated woman is supposed to care more about having fun than potentially creating a disabled human being through her own selfishness.

Some people just have to chemically alter their mind to avoid dealing with the fact they share the planet with so many preachy people. It's true, I did research.

Hell, they're telling women who aren't pregnant to take folic acid in case they do get pregnant to prevent possibly having kids with spina bifida. What's so strange about telling women not to binge drink in case they might be pregnant?

Not taking folic acid isn't really much of a leisure activity in itself.

There is no sex like buttsex with drunk British chicks. Check out "Youtube" for reference...
