The Bender Defined

who the fuck cares what others think about how much you drink, why you drink, when you drink, who you drink with, and what you drink (save for offensive brown-forman products) WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU DRINK.
now shut up, rise up, and BOOZE UP.

Thank God for you. We're gonna party like it's 1499 when you get over here.

While I'm sure most who read this thread are familiar with this, I still think there should be a link.

I just blacked out my blues away
my underwear are soggy and my socks are crisp
knees all cut up, bruises on my fist"

i don't know how long one should last, but i know once the booze ceases to have any effect it's time to shut 'er down.

Yeah, this just in. At no point does booze stop working. If an elephant can get drunk so can you Stiggs. Stop beinf a wussy.

One time, I was in Los Angeles for 2 weeks. I was completely annihilated the entire time. Even when I came back to MN., I was still partying straight through for another four or five days.(I believe this is when I ran out of vacation money.) Blacked out every day, at least at some point, was 86'd from at least 5 or 6 bars in the LA area, and came home with bruises, scrapes, and a twisted ankle. It was all in good fun. Would you constitute this as a "bender"?

P.S. The lack of funds was probably the only thing that put my good times to an end.

As a public school teacher I define a bender as: "June, July, and August"

I know many a teacher who will attest to this.
Welcome aboard! Tradition has it that the newb buys a round for the house. I'll take a martini or three. Better yet, just mix up a pitcher and have one yourself while you're at it.
cheers!

Another night another bender
No return and no surrender
Wake up trying to remember
All my wrongs
I'm not looking for forgivness
Fucking up is how I live this life
Cause otherwise it takes to fucking long

I've never been on a bender, it was just life. While living in the glorious kingdom of liqour known then as Louisiana, hard-core drinking just was a way of life. Surely just a phenomenon of my own peculiar physiology, but for some reason after a few days of non-stppage, I just don't seem to be able to get hearthe "click"...hence my notion of ceasing the bender when the liver ceases to deliver. Not to denigrate anyone elses's binge. To me., it just seemed a damed waste to continue throwing hooch down the hatch to no purpose...but I'll defer to Oggar.

Just got back from a 5 day bender in Western Mass. Didn't shower, brushed my teeth once. Was drunk the entire time. Very tired right now.

If you mean that after a certain period of time you lose the ability to feel drunk, then I'm with you. It's happened. And it pisses me off!
