To think you reach an age where getting totally pissed is a bit pathetic?

Maybe I'm missing something?

I enjoy a drink but I'm the sort of person who can have a glass of wine and not need to finish the bottle.

Middle aged DH went out and came home unable to string a sentence together, and couldn't understand why I was irritated. I have no objections at all to him going out, but I just feel when you get past the going out clubbing stage, you should know when you've had enough?

Ah good old PuritanNet. Never disappoints.

Do you know what's pathetic? It's people who can't understand that not everyone is the same. It's people who then toss around words like pathetic to describe those of us who enjoy different things to you. So I'll carry on going out and enjoying myself and you carry on posting snippy little threads on the internet.

I’m mid 40’s, some of my old school friends still go out and get bladdered every weekend. Their life revolves around drink. Every post on FB says ‘on it’ with a laughing emoji. I do find it quite sad. Yes enjoy a few drinks, but to get blind drunk at that age is silly

Maybe they think you're the silly one with your pursed lips and judgey little comments?
