-the new guy, in response to us asking him if he wanted go grab some beers after work


Not exactly getting off on the right foot with us

11/9/2009 5:15:50 PM

you should have said Hi Hater and walked away.

11/9/2009 5:17:37 PM

yeah, it doesn't sound like he's going to get very far

11/9/2009 5:18:30 PM

Yes - cause your liver knows its tuesday or saturday. He sounds like a douche - one of you will have to fuck his wife - to teach him a lesson.

11/9/2009 5:18:34 PM

He the super religious type?

11/9/2009 5:19:02 PM

at least he didn't pull the Jesus card

11/9/2009 5:19:16 PM

He is probably gonna go home after work and shoot some horse in his veins

11/9/2009 5:20:22 PM

our new guy doesn't drink at all

11/9/2009 5:21:28 PM

I can completely respect non drinking, but at least come out and have a coke or something, and don't frame us as outcasts form blowing off a little steam

11/9/2009 5:22:42 PM

maybe he actually is an alcoholic and he can't control his drinking to the point where he can function the following day so he has to confine his drinking to the weekends. In any case, a simple "no thanks" would have been much less douchey.

11/9/2009 5:22:55 PM

yeah, really. what a dick.

tomorrow night, ask him if he'd like to go smoke some crack after work.

11/9/2009 5:23:19 PM

if your office were a sitcom, what sound effect would you hear after the guy said he didn't drink on weeknights cause he was an alky? maybe crickets chirping?

11/9/2009 5:23:47 PM

Maybe he just couldn't go out with y'all after work and made a joke about it and y'all all took it the wrong way.

exactly, i can even understand the not drinking during the week thing, but dont throw everyone else who does under the bus and call them alcoholics

LAME

11/9/2009 5:25:20 PM

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt

but it definitely rubbed me the wrong way

11/9/2009 5:26:08 PM

but, well, you are

11/9/2009 5:32:11 PM

people throw around the word 'alcoholic' way too much.

things that don't count as alcoholism
getting wasted on a saturday night after a wolfpack victory
going out 2-3 times a week with a group of your best friends to drink
drinking high % alcohol liquors

things that potentially count as alcoholism
getting wasted by yourself
getting completely blackout everytime you drink (even with others)
always feeling the need to drink the strongest shit possible at all times

11/9/2009 5:44:37 PM

i drink more when state loses

11/9/2009 5:47:42 PM

this thread's all IM NOT FAT IM BIG-BONED

11/9/2009 5:48:39 PM

^^alcoholism doesn't have to be that


Alocholics can also be people that come home and have to have that drink during the week in order to go sleep everynight. You don't have to get trashed to be an alcoholic. But if you're addicted then you're addicted.

11/9/2009 5:49:44 PM

You're only an alcoholic if you got to meetings.

I would call that a fully functional alcoholic, at worst.

I'm not gonna lie, I have probably 2 glasses of wine most nights after I'm home for the evening when I'm working. Do I need it? No. But I like it and I don't intend on stopping any time soon from doing it.

11/9/2009 7:37:01 PM

drink a beer like a man... damnit.

11/9/2009 7:54:18 PM

sounds like a closet or ex junky!!1

i bought a 12 pack a month ago and there are still probably 9 in there

this summer i had a beer or two about every other day when i got home from work and/or odd jobs

[Edited on November 9, 2009 at 7:59 PM. Reason : guess i'll see the rest of y'all at the meeting]

11/9/2009 7:59:05 PM

i usually drink wine or liquor, 2-4 drinks a night. i dont do a lot of beer, but act like a damn alcoholic around guinness

11/9/2009 7:59:54 PM

Haha, I knew that was coming... I obviously like beer, but I also like having a glass or two of wine because it can actually be good for you in moderation.

NyM, I'm sorry. You drink wine because you are tuff.

McDanger, I'm sorry. Your gay love partner drinks wine because he is tuff. Go fuck in a grape field or something.
