Reading about (and knowing!) how nervous people can be going for a meet, what are people's views on drinking and swinging?
I know a lot of people will have a drink or two to relax and/or get warmed up, others like to know alcohol played no part in the decision to swing... any thoughts?
First time i met anyone we had a bottle of wine between ys and it helped.
Since then i have learnt that anymore than say a glass and a half and all i want to do is sleep!!
The more i get to know aperson before i meet them then the less i need alchohol. Last time i met anyone i didnt have a drink at all and it was brilliant!!
the first time we swung was at a club and we both got pissed not a good idea because we couldnt remember it all the next day
Yep! you learn from past experiences alright,i'm not a big drinker myself but my partner is and the first time we went to a club she drank too much(she was very nervous bless her) and couldn't stand too well,because of this it wasn't best to play with anyone now she sticks to Breezers instead of Wine...which does really go to her head!
This is a good topic and from experience I can say that too much alcohol makes the evening a blur (if you don't pass out first) and hence a waste of time.
A little bit of wine or a brandy or two will relax nervous people but you have to remember why you're there in the first place and get on with it. The second time I was in a club I wasn't nervous at all but then the people there made me feel very welcome.
it is a good topic......
me personally.... if i am swinging in a club then i won't drink alcohol,, i have seen other people hammered in clubs (both male and female) and i just find it so unsexy to be in that position.... yes losing inhibitions is one thing but losing your dignity is something else...
i don't think i would ever want to be in a situation where i didn't remember what i did... anything could have happened and that is very dangerous......

A drink within your limits is usually okay. Anymore and you're out of it.
I have had a few unfortunate experiences with drugs. They tend to lay me out useless. I don't do them now.
Its all about knowing when to stop. Getting rat arsed is deffinately not a good idea, but there is a fine line between being a little tipsey and being fully pissed. I know what an obnoxious sob I am when I'm off me face, but if I just have two or three pints, or one bottle of wine, I can be the life and soul!
Then there is another thing to consider, brewers droop! :shock:
We never drink when we swing, it makes you feel sick and you spill it.
lets face it theres nothing worse than some drunken arse that cant stand up or talk. no matter where you are.
i myself would rather have some dutch courage. but surley any decent person would have the manners not to get arseholed.
even for those who can genuinly 'hold there ale' you've gotta be able to appreciate that you dont smell to hot to those who havent. :shock:
first time at a b n b swing club was drunk ,first time anywhere so was very nervous the mrs a bit tight (always a first time lol) now just have a drink to kill the nerves still always get them ,mind you mrs n/e can take it or leave it ,when she takes it its taxi time lol but still never get so drunk where we are in a situation where a helping hand is needed, mind we have seen a situation where drink and swinging dont were in a club one night when we were talking to a couple who brought a single female (her lad did drop out at the last minute) any way she was really pissed the couple who she came with went to play and she ended upstairs and well there was a very big que ,afterwards we were sitting down stairs and we heard her crying ,i asked what was up her very words were " i am not a swinger i feel like i have been " can you imagine if the police were involved and you had to be interveiwed ,any the owner of the club got her calmed down filled with coffee and even payed for a taxi home ,so drink and swinging welll got its plus and minuses ,take enough to make yourself feel good
Well we dont drink much atall, and i wouldnt be very happy if the people we were with were totally wrecked.
I can understand nerves being a problem though, we are meeting our first couple next week and i will be a bit nervous :P
For me, the right amount of alcohol is……Enough to lose the edge on my inhibitions, but not enough to lose them completely.
The idea of waking up hung-over and wondering what I have done sexually is abhorrent to me.
The idea that I might have played with someone who I don’t fancy is more than enough to make me want to stick to O.J.
I would never play with anyone who was not in a position to consent, partly due to the reasons blue gave, but also don’t like the idea of someone regretting playing with me the next morning.
