      I usually eat a lot of meat after getting hammered, not prior.

      Too much? Ok, I'll go back in my corner.

      How YOU doin'?

      Never too much. Besides, nothing wrong with having a lot of meat before and even more after. Just sayin...

      "How to go to a bar and not get hammered"

      Go to a fruit bar?
      Go to a Coffee bar?
      haha jk



      Considering that bars are designed to be a social meeting place centered around alcohol consumption, I think the best thing to do is build a well stocked bar at your place and invite friends over.

      Sorry I'm not more help, I like drinking haha

      start a new rule for each alcoholic drink you have drink a glass of water.

      soon enough you'll be running to the bathroom too much to drink a lot.

      what also helps is bar hopping. staying at the same bar the entire time you're out is a GOOD way to get all kinds of drinks you never ordered or on the house. going from location to location means that eventually you'll get someplace where you'll have to stand in line with the rest of the people

      ^This.

      I can't get arrested for eating in public, I can't get arrested for eating and driving, my judgement isn't impaired, the likelihood of me getting in a car crash because I went on a food binge then decided to drive is slim to none...I mean, I can go on and on.


      Dear lord. Not even close to the same thing.

      I'm pretty sure she did not mean that food had the same effect or consequences as alcohol would, but the foundation on the BINGING alone is the same.

      A lot of people on here complain about self-control issues, and why should those issues only extend to food? Food, like alcohol, can be something we have a hard time saying no to, because we enjoy it. We don't desperately need it, we just enjoy it, so we want it.

      That premis is the same.
      People beratting her for not having self control should take a look at a lot of forum members who complain about the same issues daily, perhaps the product of the complaint isn't the same - and if abused the consequences are not the same - but the reason behind the complain is.

      Lack of self control is lack of self control. Be it food or alcohol. The foundation for this lack of self-control is another issue and does not automatically mean she is an alcoholic.

      My thoughts exactly

      I believe the obvious and best solutions have already been stated..
      1) stop drinking/going to bars in general
      2) don't drink at the bar at all
      3) drink water between beers
      4) only take enough money for cover and two beers
      - this I have found to be the best solution for myself, although it doesn't account for free drinks.
      If you're one of those people that wonderful drunken people buy drinks for, you'll just have to find a way to turn it down or just don't take any money in at all. If you're meant to drink people will buy them, if not then you'll still have a good time hanging out and listening to the music.
