Drinks in the party, is it normal? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers3 months ago

Hello all. I had a chat with my sister lately and she told me that in the place where she lived, there is always wine in every party and she always has a glass of it.Well of course only for healthy purposes.Which is kind of different from where(home) we grew up.Living in a family with a very high religious belief, is kind of different from the real world. Of course we do not drink beer or wine.
I wonder if it is normal to have drinks(I mean wine or beer or something) in every party in your place.Do you care to drink one?Is it really necessary?

I think a lot of people provide drinks when they have a party at their house. This may not always be the case, but I'm sure that often it is. I don't really have parties here at my house, so for me it's hard to say. But when I go to friend's parties they tend to have beer and wine available for anyone that would like some!

Hello jenn,

Oh i see so it is what almost everyone does. Most parties that I have attended so far had drinks too but I do not drink at all. I guess others might say that I am so boring and so uninterested.
Thanks for the share.

Hi vbonjoc,

Drinks in Party..!
To me, Can't say it as normal,
It depends only on the person and his/her background...!

But Drinks in a party is pretty normal these days, I accept that..!
As you said you are from a very high religious family and from a different world...!
Many of my friends who are from similar to your family take Drinks, Non-veg etc., ...!
I don't care to take a drink, But if I wish to have, I'll have it...!
It is not really necessary...!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hello myname..Yeah i guess it totally depends on your value. Well I still have my minds open about drinking. I know some are using it for healthy purposes. I believe it also depends upon the motive why you drink.


myLot reputation of 70/100. mynameiscindere (314)   ranked 8,727 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Oh friend,

Sorry if I've mistaken you,
If any one takes drinks for health purposes, That will be regular...!
That doesn't need to be in Party...!

I'm not much aware of this, For what health issues do they take drinks...?


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

My sister told me that most people have drinks in the party not for getting drunk or something but as a part of healthy living.Wine has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers and slow the progression of neurological degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease.But only of course if you drink only for what is recommended for your body.


myLot reputation of 70/100. mynameiscindere (314)   ranked 8,727 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hmmm, Thats a very good piece of information to me,
But beware, There are 99% of people say reasons for their mistakes...!
Hope your sister is not like that...!
I'm afraid whether she can be in her control,
When ever people go to party they drink too much and go out their control..!
Too much of anything is not good for Nothing...!
Even for healthy issues it should be in limits I think...!
:-)


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Yeah of course.Sister is already a grown up.I believe she knows what she is doing.


myLot reputation of 70/100. mynameiscindere (314)   ranked 8,727 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Oh, That's good to hear,
You really trust your sister,
It's getting hard to trust on people nowadays...!

Your sister is so lucky...!
I would wish to be your sister but that's impossible,

Me too lucky, there are a few members in my family who trusts me completely,
I'll never loose their trust...!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Oh yes of course because she is my sister.And she is a great person for me.And we do trust each other in the family.

A lot of people do that. They can't party without having a drink or two. For them, party means drinking. But I'm different. I don't drink at all. I don't care what they say about me. Whatever they say won't change the way I think about myself. It would only change the way I think about them. I just wanted to stand up for what I believe in and do whatever I think is right.:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hello Crimson. I am absolutely thinking just the way as you do. I have been all the way with my friends and people I have meet form my past. When I was in college, my classmates would force me to drink. And I will not drink so that will make them hesitant about me thinking I was kind of different and I am a hard person to be with.
But growing up, I realize that it is normal only not to the point of getting drunk.I have meet people who use it for healthy living. So it totally depends upon the purpose of drinking.


myLot reputation of 70/100. mynameiscindere (314)   ranked 8,727 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hi CrimsonRain,

Oh what a great person,
If all that you said is true...!
Then Me too wanted to be like you,
Me too like you only, But when some of my best peoples compel, I give up...!

Hi dear!
You availability of drinks is a norm in the most of the parties. It is open to an individual whether s/he feels comfortable drinking at a part/public place and whether alcoholic drinks suit him/her or not. Your sister sipping wine in parties is absolutely her own choice and if she enjoys it and does not bother what others think about she drinking, then let her continue. If you feel uncomfortable taking drinks at a public place, then you can abstain from the same and go for some soft drinks. For that matter I abstain from consuming alcoholic drinks in the parties, as I do not relish such drinks and I know it very well that these sort of drinks make more harm to our bodies than good.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hello dear deepak. I don't feel any comfort in drinking whether in public or private places. Maybe because I grew up without any of this things around me.What I really thought is a little alcohol in the body is good for the health. But most people abuse it.Some of my friends(boy) are really happy when there is a party because for sure they will end up drinking lots and lots of beers again.


myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9124)   ranked 352 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

It is good that you do not feel like taking alcohol because of your upbringing. If your male friends/known to person feel like taking beer in parties, let them enjoy, because it their liveslol. You see you cannot tell them it is bad for them, because they won't understand it. rolleyes


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Yeah and the thought that they are happy doing it, you cannot really tell them to stop.You have to let them enjoy their happiness by drinking. lol


myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9124)   ranked 352 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

They (those who take hard drinks) belong to a separte category and they feel happy in each others' company. rolleyeswink

I have not been to a party without drinks, alcoholic or otherwise. Maybe because everyone are expected to have a good time, and the best way to have a good time is when you have no inhibitions which drinking a small amount of beer or wine is enough can help. But it's really up to the party goer to refrain himself from consuming too much. For me drinks are necessary in a party if you want to have a good time, but it has to be consumed in moderation of course. Cheers!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hello bong,
It's good to know you have self-discipline when it comes to drinking. Some men don't care at all as long as they are having fun with what they have been doing. Well as long as they do not cause anything harmful, it is fine.

Hello ybonjoc this is checkmail and do think that drinks in an adult party is a normal thing.Actually parties doesn't comes in our culture or religious traditions, but are of a different kind of amusement created for fun purpose.Well its not exactly necessary to have an drink in a party but if cheered than we have to show some respect towards the party memebers.Its up to us whether we adopt the lifestyle or not.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hello checkmail. Even in the past history about the bible, people used to have wines in festivals. But well, I guess those wines are really pure and no chemicals.
Some of my friends too say that a party without drinks is really boring. I wonder why because me I do not drink but still I do not find it boring. lol

Hi! I rarely drink something else then juice and even when I'm at a party I can drink a beer or a glass of wine, but not more. I think alcohol is something not necasery in our life and I can live wihtout it. I don't think that the alcohol must be something so important at the parties!!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hello nautilus.Yeah i believe too that it is not that important but maybe only for people like us who does not appreciate drinking a lot. I do not even drink wines in party. Only a glass of it is not bad.

Wine is a pretty good drink. I know a few people who just love it. At one time I used to make home made wine myself and it came out really good. The only thing was that I decided to have a glass every night so every single night I went to bed soused. I didn't like that. So I stopped drinking the wine. I might add, too, that home made wine is easy to make and really good depending on how you do it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hello bluepatch.I am interested about that homemade wine.What do you put in the wine?I have a friend who loved making homemade wine too.She adds pineapple and soft drink with the wine. I have tasted it, it's good but it tastes acrid for me.

Hi ybon. From where I grew-up and now in the place I am living now, I can say that drinks in a party is normal, in most that I can remember. Even without a party, drinks like beer, wine or rhum is the usual getting to know each others lives and sharing problems with relatives.
I drink, but most of the time, I drink less that I can handle. If I feel a little drunk and can say that I feel the need to sleep, I go and sleep, without getting permission or even letting the people in the party or the host know that I have to go. Sometimes, just telling them that you feel sleepy will not give an approval and drinking will continue and you will forget later on that you felt sleepy. Better leave than experience something that you will be regretful later on.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hello neil.Nice new avatar you have there.
Well, you got a pretty nice way of excusing yourself from drinking and leaving those who still enjoy drinking. I always wonder why most people need to take drinks before getting comfortable sharing with other people. Hubby told me that drinking makes the conversation even deeper and more interesting.
Well of course girls can always do that even without drinks. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 514 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

there are some points why i really stop drinking if i can stop. your hubby said that drinking makes the conversation even deeper and more interesting? yes, it's true, but there are conversations that end in heated arguments that will eventually ended in a fight, worse, is when someone gets hurt. i have a lot of experiences or i witnessed a lot of troubles which started in drinking sessions. if we can control drinking in the earliest possible time, we stop.

there were some times also in the past, that i got so drunk and on the next day, i never know what i did or i forgot almost everything.

one time, we went to a part in a disco house, with my in-laws. i was too drunk. i never remember doing this and that. i only believed them when i saw the video the took on me, what a shame.

one time, again, i drove home relatives who came to party with us. and on the next day, i asked my wife, "what time did we got home, and who sent cousins back to their home?" i was so scared when i knew from her, that i was the one who drove them home with the cab.

my brother-in-law is a bailed accused for stubbing his drinking buddy. they were drinking, chatting, and later on, my BIL gets the knife and hit his buddy 3 times in the body, almost killed him.

so, that's it. i am afraid to drink more of what i can handle, what my body and mind can take. i am afraid not only for myself, but also for my wife and the kids.


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 514 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

about my new avatar? it's my youngest son. he's the one who is always in my posts regarding sleep apnea and snoring. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  1 month ago

Hello neil, lol i had a laugh when I read about the video.Why what did you do in that video?Hopefully not a scandal huh?lol
You are so true that conversations like that can also end up in a heated argument or even fights. That is so scary of you to now remember what you did when you are drunk. I guess you don't drink much to avoid any accidents.Most car accidents nowadays are caused by drunk drivers. And the sad part is that they are not only taking out their lives but also the lives of the innocent people too.
So that is your son who had an apnea.I hope he will get better soon.

I think most people drink just for the reason of socializing with other people around. Some drink for the purpose of getting drunk but i think its really better to stay away from those who get drunk to avoid trouble. I don't also drink because i dont like that taste of alcohol and besides i am also allergic to alcoholic drinks so i'd better avoid those kind of drinks so that i wont turn red.hehe


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 168 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hello nrtan,
You are exactly like my bestfriends. One time she tried to drink alcohol for the sake of getting to know how it taste like, after having 2-3 glasses, she turned red and she has this rashes all over her neck and she keeps on talking and talking in English. lol
From that moment she does not bother herself from drinking again.


myLot reputation of 95/100. nrtan2000 (1027)   ranked 445 out of 19,522 in questions & answers  3 months ago

2-3 glasses?=P that's more than enough. lol. I only had a few sips and my heart started to palpitate.
