The (now, so called) middle-age populace costs the country ten times as much to treat for alcohol related hospital instances as teenagers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19913431 This figure is only for England I think. I'm sure the "older people are more likely to suffer effects of long-term alcoholism" caveat could be applied but, next time a 50-something moans about teenagers drinking, knife them in the throat My generation, right in between these two, (30s) will no doubt absolutely drain the mental health services in our "middle age" once we all run out of endorphins thanks to sweeties, MDMA, ching, K and poppers. Thanks to the latter, my bum is destined to be in tatters as well
I'm in my early-20's and my mates (honest!) think I'm a 'queer ****' because I don't see the point in getting plastered just for the sake of it. One of them had to have his stomach pumped t'other week, and he's ****ing 23
**** the teenage ****s, we've paid our taxes now we want some payback on our investment. Ahm banking on it when my days of partying out of my head on pills and powder at raves catch up with me.
By the time I was 19, drinking was merely an aid to drug-taking. As I get older, social drinking becomes more important to me and other people my age but, of course, most seem to do it sensibly (and most were out of their tits in the 90s). The generation above me (40s) that I know (sweeping generalisation coming up) mostly seem to have their lives defined by drink and, coincidentally, seem to have their lives hanging in tatters. I've convinced myself I'm getting mad wi it this weekend for the first time in ages and you can stick your swally up yer erchibald.
You were the one person on here who I always thought accepted me for who I was. It seems I was wrong [NSFW] please log in to view this image [/NSFW]
The baby boomer generation have well and truly ****ed up Western society in general. Huge pensions and welfare state, a horrendously inefficient NHS, a misplaced sense of entitlement and an arrogant complacency has seen Western wealth built up over hundreds of years disappear in a couple of generations by our grandfathers and fathers. In 20 years, the country will be over-run with nursing homes caring for these old ****s
Pfft drinking has went hand in hand with drug taking since I was about 14/15 (not including dope) I started drugs first before I really started drinking a lot <noupforhangingaboutparks>
I started smoking dope before I started bevying ... Once I got intae acid, I started bevying for the comedown! Then I started bevying big style once I got into speed, eccies then ching! All the eccies/MDMA and ching must have ****ed our brains up ... If I make it to 70 without ending up in a home, a dribbling incoherent mess wearing a nappy, I'll be happy! Next weekend is ching weekend - pay day!
I took my first eccie at 11 at the 1st year school disco I hadn't even tried smoking yet, and here was me the wide-o taking half and eccie and 2 jellies What a ****ing twat
Speaking of drinking in excess I need to go ****ing pay that fine today before the ****ing double it. ****ing dundonian ****ers.
I tend to fight every single **** wanting money off me. I just got off with a £14k bill that the OldCo had rung up with RBS, I sent her car back and got hit with a bill for £800 "excessive wear and tear" which I argued with and got off with, now I'm fighting Glesga City Cooncil for a parking fine I got for being parked 5mins after the ticket had expired. FIGHT THE CUNTS!!!
It went hand in hand with me when I was younger too. When I was a teenager, I liked drink more than (most) drugs. When I was about to reach my twenties and in my early twenties, drink was a crutch for other substances rather an end in itself - I reckon that if I had taken the "I'm no havin' that ****e, geez a lager and some shots" road, I would've ended up an utter fanny and I built most of my still current meaningful relationships with people during that time. The other thing that baby boomers have ****ed up for us all is, of course, house prices and the lack of affordable housing. People should not be living with their maws until they're in their late twenties. Young families shouldn't be cramped into small bidings with negative equity while people who don't need the space are sitting in houses with rooms to spare and waiting for the property prices to go back up so they can make £300,000 on a house they got for a £10,000 mortgage in 1980 when they walked into a job without qualifications guaranteed an income for the rest of their days. That said, it's not their individual fault but the abandoning of "society" in favour of "communities", people thinking they were entitled to loads for just turning up and every natural resource and natural space we have being privatised - the old left and the right are both at fault, the worst of both political wings was argued over and we're only now getting over the past mysogyny that allowed folk like Savile to exist (Savile hated drug takers, by the way - old school and seemed to suggest that wee girls taking purple hearts would be worse than wee girls getting beasted). In short, it's no my fault. But, if things haven't improved for young people by the time my eldest daughter leaves home, then I should shoulder some of the blame too. I hope my swinging jaw and mangled heid in my old age are cheaper to look after than a mangled liver and inability to function. This is a bit of a stream of consciousness post and probably makes zero sense. I'm getting back on with my work and fidgetting with my piles.
Is there any scientific evidence that doinglarge amounts of speed over a 2-3 year period does you any harm?
Dunno, but I was heavy into eccies and **** when I was a teen, then I met her,, she got preggers and I became a workaholic to save up for a house, and came away from the scene all my mates were in, and now most of them are cabbaged. EDGE WINS AGAIN
