What Alcohol Can Do To You

It's a sunny afternoon, and you're feeling like the concept of a few beers at the pub is a good one. A few turns into alot and before you know it, you're already half way there to being pissed out of your tree. The drink keeps flowing, and the drunkeness keeps on coming. The sober world which you are so accustomed to slowly disappears, and you enter the world of pissed-up-ness. You become less concerned about the things you might say, your voice becomes louder, and your personality more projected.

After the pub, it's time for town. There's an array of sights to be seen; from the girls who flaunt every inch of skin on their bods, to the men who are trying to chat those girls up. Quing up ready for the club, you try and act as sober as possible so that entry won't be refused. If you manage to get inside, it's straight to the bar, followed by the dance floor.

The dance floor is where it all happens: there is a serious projection of shape throwing here. You always find the one person who has had far too much to drink, and they think that they're the next Michael Jackson with their (not so good) dancing skills. You get those like me, trying to throw shapes like Miss B, and the shy ones in the corner who have clearly still not had enough to drink.

Alcohol makes you feel invincible, when you're most vunerable

It gives you the confidence to do things that you otherwise may not, such as call somebody a 'twat' for the laughs, or strike up a conversation with a hottie. I wouldn't say that alcohol makes us feel absolutely invincible. We're never going to be Superman, and even if we could be, the Kryptonite would eventually get the better of us. I'd say that alcohol rather, gives us the opportunity to liberate ourselves from the constraints of everyday life. I mean this of course, as drink in the enjoyable sense of it; I'm not dismissing that there are people who have problems with alcohol, or judging them for it. I'm looking at the use of alcohol simply in the social (pubs, bars, parties, clubs etc) regards.
