What's the actual appeal of partying and binge drinking, except it's easier to hook up? I'm a nerdy bodybuilder and don't see much appeal.

After taking the red pill I don’t see it as a pleasure. I still go to bars for live local music but I noticed none of the men look healthy or muscular, which is what I aspire to maintain.

Because its fun to do crazy shit with your friends? Explain to me what’s fun about sitting in front of a screen constantly. And you don’t have to party hard to be a player.

Hey man. Serious question; why can’t you drink on steroids? I’m on TRT and I drink...do I need to stop?

lolomotif12 · 2020-04-26T13:10:55+00:00

I weight train 3 times a week and train MMA, Jiujitsu and wrestling 4 times a week. I also compete in the sport. The contrary to you I prefer alcohol (I dont do steroids) to marijuana, I have never enjoyed it. Immore of a rum enthusiast so prefer sipping my drink and enjoying it.

To answer your question, you don't have to go out and binge drink till you pass out or try and get laid. I'll have a couple till I get a buzz, socialise with my friends, have a laugh with some women, listen to some good music and just enjoy the vibe of the night and even still go training the next day if I wish. There is more to life than trying to get your dick wet so just do what you enjoy, each to their own.

Having a few drinks is fun. Lighten up, even Arnold loved beer

It has to be your thing but with the right people and music it can be fun. I experienced it myself when i was younger, but i never went partying every weekend, not even once a month. It’s also very expensive (atleast ~100$). You have think about the pricing for the Transportation (usually Taxi / Uber), Entry Fee, Drinks etc... at first you casually talk to people and socialize, and when you had enough alcohol you can let go and dance. Feels amazing, but it’s not guaranteed. Also you need to have experience with alcohol, you need to know how much you can handle and when it’s enough. But it wouldn’t work without alcohol or with minimal amounts (e.g. two beers). Atleast that’s my take on it.

Young Promiscuous Women just go there because they get attention and free drinks constantly. Not to mention all the experiences with all kinds of guys (ONS).

If you don’t overdue it, it can be quite nice, but it really really depends on the place / music / people you are with. I recommend it to everyone who’s young, it’s an experience worth trying. Try it while you can. See if you like it or not. Some people don’t like it all, and i can see why. Noisy, Crowded, Expensive, Hangover etc... i can‘t imagine that some people like to go out every single weekend.

Weed i tried once and i hated it. For me alcohol is the better drug, but i don’t get drunk. Not worth it. I rarely go to nightclubs, but a bar / pub can be nice.

People who prefer Weed stay home and play video games / watch movies, and those who like Alcohol more go out.

I also love videogames (i usually play them when i come home from work) but i can’t see myself sitting at home all day / night (especially on the weekends) and play video games all the time like a loser with no friends. You need to go out and socialize.

I used to party very hard, and on an extremely rare occasion, i come out of retirement. Most of it is fake. Most of the relationships you make of any kind in that environment are fake. you won't remember those "it's about making memories" times anymore then you remember the day you were born

But you don't have to binge drink and party hard to have a good time with friends. it's fun going to the pub, having a few beers and talking some shit

redknobmirror · 2020-04-26T13:14:15+00:00

Lowers everyone inhibition so people are more likely to say/do ridiculous things. You have to have people you are actually good friends with for it to be fun. Also usually most fun 20-25 age range

SIR_SKINNYPENIS69 · 2020-04-26T15:19:22+00:00

To each their own. I've calmed down a lot now and rarely drink and almost never take drugs but I've had some really fun and great times doing both. I don't begrudge anyone what they find fun so long as it's not destructive.

lawrencep93 · 2020-04-26T14:26:08+00:00

You can still go party sober I stopped drinking in my early 20's to focus on gym and work stuff, the awesome part is I can hit the clubs, not drink and recover by just sleeping in on the weekend and still hit the gym Saturday and Sunday because I have less time mid week due to my business

travhall19 · 2020-04-26T15:46:29+00:00

i generally am in the same boat you’re in. i prefer weed, and don’t really enjoy the feeling that alcohol gives.. unless it’s in a setting where i KNOW i’m gonna have sex. what i do is have only one or two drinks at a party. this is enough to loosen me up a little and help ppl not feel like theyre partying w a sober weirdo

BornShook · 2020-04-26T15:48:10+00:00

Partying is good, binge drinking is bad. A few beers is fine and good as long as you can stay in control. You don't want to be the shitfaced idiot puking in the corner.

myfirsttimecoding · 2020-04-26T17:27:46+00:00

I was like you and the happiest I have ever been was at the height of my student partying lifestyle. When you lift it’s like everyone in this scene treats you like a semi God, easy lays, new exciting experiences

McLovinReturns · 2020-04-26T19:10:40+00:00

Just do whatever you want man. If it works for you than stick to it. Fuck what others do and it should not matter as long as you are happy with what you're doing

AceMav21 · 2020-04-26T19:43:30+00:00

Them Orals bruh?

volvostupidshit · 2020-04-26T21:52:41+00:00

It will give you a pair of eye bags and a bloated face.

proactive-defense · 2020-04-26T22:21:58+00:00

You can go out and just pretend to sip if need be, and say you’re not a heavy drinker.

People like the lack of inhibition. You can assume that frame by being around people drinking and learning to get in “state” yourself without alcohol. This is sort of PUA territory, it doesn’t have much to do with intersexual dynamics.

2020-04-26T22:30:20+00:00

You think in black and white patterns. I used to be the same "Oh no, I can't have fun anymore".

I thought I couldn't go out with my friends anymore and everyone will think I am a weirdo at house parties. How naive I was. I still can participate at parties, bars, whatever. No one gives a shit. I never drank much anyway, but now I keep it even lower when I go out.

A friend of mine, huge aesthetic bodybuilder, was abstaining from alcohol, fast food, sugar and all that shit for YEARS to archieve his dream body. No cheat days, never. He pretty much reached his peak and looked fantastic, imagine David Laid, Jeff Seid etc..

At some point though, he gave in. He started drinking occassionally, sometimes bought Fast food. Yet he still looked fantastic. He knew that he doesn't need to stay at 100% all the time. So what, if his body is only at 90% of his limits? Still more impressive than 99% of the population.

Everything in moderation my friend.

It can be fun, but it shouldn't be a lifestyle. I kinda lived that lifestyle in college, and it was fun to get out of my system and "go crazy" and drunkenly hook up with girls... but it got old. Don't do it much anymore.

Red_Raze · 2020-04-27T08:06:10+00:00

People drink to forget about their responsibilities. Youth do it in a more uncontrolled manner because their responsibilities are starting to stack up. Partying and drinking gives them a temporary way out.

2020-04-26T14:02:09+00:00

Listen to the kendrick lamar song swimming pools it sums it up pretty great.

Off the top of my head it goes like...

"Now I done grew up round some people living their life in bottles grandpa had the golden flask something something esk in holler. Some drink to get rid of their problems and others to fit in with the* popular that was my problem"
