Big Man Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 There was an interesting question posed in todays sunday paper. It went something along the lines of: ''Why do intelligent young woman who are nurses, teachers and mothers drink themselves to oblivion every nicht across Britain?'' Ignoring the obvious paradox(s) contained within the question, how would you answer this? Here are some pictures to help get the old grey matter fired up: I'll post my thoughts when were off and running... Link to comment
The Boofon Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 There isn't a female there that I'd refuse to smash in their back door. Oh and The Daily Mail isn't a Sunday Paper. It isn't even a paper if truth be told. Link to comment

muttondressedaslamb Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Why the pictures?These just look like young student types to me. Not professionals out in the piss every night with work the next day. Such middle class people are staying in and embracing wine o'clock. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Folk go out drinking at weekends. They always have and always will. No big deal. Link to comment

Thats what happens when men turn metrosexual.......women take the piss. Men, I urge you all to rise up and batter your birds! Link to comment

Rubbish I don't believe it is. I think it's a bunch of girls out on a Saturday night. They look far too young to be nurses and teachers. Link to comment

muttondressedaslamb Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Can you nae be a nurse or teacher at 21? Some of those munters look older than that to me. I think so. But what I'm saying is I bet these people in the pics are not teachers and nurses out on the piss when they have work the next day. They'll be students or just your typical youngsters out on a Sat night. And imo none of them look older than 21. Link to comment
Dandie1992 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 F**king pisses me off when I meet some of these holier-than-thou opinionated women when they're the first ones you see having a nice wee squat-pish on the Grassmarket at 3am on a Friday night after too much Lambrini when I'm walking back from the station.

None of them look as old as myself or my 30 year old friends (cue aye but you look about 40 jokes) I'm thinking a few of you have been caught out shagging under 16s as your judgements with regards to age are well off.

Anyway my main point is that they will not be out every night of the week, getting wrecked like this and having work the next day. I bet this is a photo from High Street, Anytown on a Saturday night.

What are you getting bogged down in semantic arguements for. The pictures are irelevevant - they are just the pictures that were printed with the article... Turning to your main point - you're right. We're talking about extreme binge drinking. Teachers, nurses and mothers who are sober as judges all week and then feel the need to let loose to the extreme on at a weekend... Link to comment
dervish Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Back to the main point, I think there are three groups of women who do this. 1) Students (or at least that age), just ripping it up. 2) Older women, who hardly go out but when they do with "the girls" like to pretend they aren't old and can still have "fun". 3) Scum, who act as scum do. I'm meaning the ones who get wreaked, not just few drams, but sitting down crying and all that. Link to comment

(except the sitting down crying.. i've only seen women do that) and drink to excess as often? Link to comment
minijc Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Love a bit of binge drinking, don't see a problem with it at all. Link to comment

looksgoodinred Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yes they do, but we are talking exclusively about woman here - and there motivations for doing it... it's my experience, the ones who end up crying in a heep were generally in a foul mood when the evening started. thinking an enormous amount of liquor would somehow make things better. and end up as you see them here. or with someone holding their hair back as they vomit.

dervish Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 don't men fall pretty much into the same three categories? (except the sitting down crying.. i've only seen women do that) and drink to excess as often? I'll discuss the majority group, group two (the others are fairly similar across the sexes and maybe even logical). To be entirely honest I don't know many guys mid 20s plus who drink so much that they are sick on nights out, but I know some fairly sensible women who don't go out that much but when they do get mangled. I don't know why really. Women to me seem to be a bit more manic (in the words of Mr Sheen "only one gear, go!") especially in a crowd. Obviously guys are "pack animals" but a big group of girls on a night out... it's something to behold! I dunno girls just tend to make a bigger deal about things like going out they plan it and stuff: Guys "watch the game tuesday?"Older 'girls' "maybe we can go out for band x/birthday x in 3 months?" cue massive snowball of other elements to 'the plan' Then the night itself comes and none of you have done anything different since the afternoon when you last talked. Guys "did you watch the game?" or "want to put a quid each in the sh-it box" (ken the who wants to be a millionaire game things)Girls....? No idea what they talk about but I'm damn sure it starts off an anti-climax (compared to their massive plan) and so they drink to make it fun, then opps drank a bit too much (maybe because they dinna drink that often I'll concede).

Foster14 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yes they do, but we are talking exclusively about woman here - and there motivations for doing it... Their motivations: - Peer pressure- Mundane people trying create an aura of interestingness...- Addiction- Idea of cutting loose- So they have something to blame for what they wake up with the next morning Link to comment
