I'm a student... of course I am

The only rule I live by is "never go out with a loaded gun"

 

[Peever]

Def have to pre drink here before going out....Drinking is expensive in Canada

It's obviously a generational difference in the name. I assume you're talking about pre-drinks.

An essential part of the evening for any student and occasionally the best part.

Indeed, as a student this was standard practice. Sometimes I would even reach the stage of the evening when I moved off beers and on to spirits well before going out.

These days my evening starts in the pub and usually finishes in the pub.

am now trying post loading.

 

[ryeseagull]

I live in the U.S. now, where I have never have had cause to "pre-load." Pub prices were a shock when I was home over Christmas.

Anyone under ~26 calls it pre-drinking BTW. Say 'pre loader' makes you sound like a forty year old priest and is probably used in the same sentence as "drunken yobs".

I thought preloading was something you did in MotorX

 

[Twinkle Toes]

No doubt they'll be following suit in the multitude of House Of Commons bars. Don't forget: we're all in this together...

 

[ryeseagull]

I think we called them free ones when I was a student. Beer at home never tastes the same.

Recently, Mrs Vegster seems to be permanantly loaded

I used to drink quite a bit but have never pre-loaded. The fun part for me was in the getting drunk, not being drunk when you get there. Nowadays i don't drink to get drunk at all, normally 3 or 4 pints and that's it. Pre-loading to me just seems a bit common.

If pre-loading ever involved getting into town and within 30 mins throwing up outside a town centre pub and being on the floor at 7pm on a Saturday evening-then count me in.

 

[Blackadder]

Nope don't do it.

If one of our gang does have a few beforehand, it shows as his speech gets slurred early in the pub. Best to all get tipsy at the same time.

Tonight, I ended up popping in to Cask in Middle Street, what was the old Spotted Dog. A vast array of pumps in there now dispensing a huge range of unknown beers. Brace yourself boys, very very pricey, lots if these Beers are £6 and upwards a pint/bottle, one was £12 ! .... preloading IS now the way to go.
