After talking to a lot of people over times here, it seems most like to have an alcohol drink when they play. It is almost like the two go hand in hand.
I have never had a drink before or during a meet, I dont need to drink when having sex with my hubby, so I don't feel the need to have a drink when I am playing with others.
Do the two generally go hand in hand?
i do enjoy a drink or 2 but as anyone who knows me will tell you i would never ever swing drunk i don't see the point it dulls the senses and i wish to enjoy the experience to its fullest
i do drink when i go to chams but never ever to even a tipsy point and would gladly go into it with nothing more than a good cup of char in my hands rather than my wine and actually often have
we completly avoid swinging with anyone that has drunk to wat we see as an excess which believe me is way less than most would judge to be excess as we do not wish to be any part of someones next day regrets
Good topic and I agree, I've been to a lot of socials off here and a lot of people do like their drink it would seem. My dad was a drinker for years so drink and being stupid or just someone you're not when you're sober never goes down well with me.
I rarely drink when I play, I like to keep my wits about me and remember what I've done afterwards as it's usually damn good fun :P

When you say having a drink, do you mean socially having a drink together before playing or getting out and out pissed?
I like to drink and I like to play - but I never get drunk when I'm on a meet. I need to be in control of my senses to actually enjoy myself, not to mention safety issues.
Myself and BMW dont drink, so for us its a no.
A few people in my life had issues with alcohol, my ex hub being one of them so i dont like people getting drunk too much around me i`m afraid.
I notice in the gallery there are lots of pics where you can see bottles or glasses, one or two to break the ice is ok, but if you have to get pished, then thats a whole other story.
i dont get pissed when im swinging , i dont go near ciggies ,i dont eat garlic when im swinging, i dont do curry when im swinging , i dont eat onions or other strong tasting food when im swinging, or the day before for that matter ..
a social drink is fine but really dont like playing with people that are pissed .. to be honest i dont think i have or would , rose being the exception, as anyone that knows her will tell you she gets pissed even if you just open a can of cider two streets away.. and i know her well enough and she trusts my judgment to look after her if she cant look after herself.. i dont want that responsibility laden at my door of some girl we have just met in a club ..
staggy ..odd ball aint i?
there are times I wish I had been pissed
I enjoy a social dwinkie at a party or camping etc but I dont need to drink to 'swing'.
I'm daft without a drink never mind half cut
We will sometimes have one or two but it isnt a necessity. We like to be able to enjoy what we're doing and generally one of us is driving.
Also Mrs F's tendancy to vomit when drunk is far from an attractive feature!!!
I have recently had to give up drinking alcahol altogether, doctors orders. I have however good reason to believe that drinking is a bad idea for any close social gathering. I can provide examples. At one SH social a local couple thought I was drunk and being aggressive towards the other men. I have it on good authority that nobody else fealt this way, but it was my first swinging social and I remember knocking em back quick to calm my nerves, perhaps I was a little boisterous and loud and maybe my jokes were not to everyones taste! Lol
I also recal a time when I was at a camp and had been drinking all day and all night, someone I really like was there and we were really hitting it off. Suffice to say when the end of the party arrived I was to make my excuses and slump off back to my tent, worried about the old brewers droop.
Everything is fine in moderation I guess, but for those of us who don't do moderate, I think drinking should be kept very seperate from swinging.
I suppose it's all to do with need. If you need to drink to swing, then you shouldn't - either of them.
I enjoy myself far more if I am sober - I can enjoy all the nuances of the occasion. But a social drink with people is fine.
I imagine being faced with a woman off her head with drink before she will shag you has got to be a huge insult to anyone. And (to be honest) deeply unattractive - as it is in a man.
I don't drink so not an issue. Would I be put off by someone pretty far gone, yep.
We have met a couple of couples, where the woman was pissed or half pissed when they turned up.
Their excuse was she was nervous which is fair enough, but surely not so nervous you are pissed.
Then after one set of guests left, found she had been sick in our bathroom. A nice thing to find and be left to clear up at 3 in the morning.
Hence they were never invited again.
theres nothing less attractive than a drunk
A drink? Perhaps, but never drunk!
There is a difference between having a drink and getting hammered though isn't there?
Or is that the problem with the nation as a whole? Not knowing the difference.
We both enjoy a relaxing drink as a prelude to our sexy encounters.
I don't drink at all when I am in a club, and I think it is almost a running joke at social/munches that I'll only drink shandy or if I am really good a pint...
mind you I think I have seen so many drunk people in clubs that I have been put off drinking for good.... In fact I have seen one person so hammered that they actually fell down a huge flight of stairs...
Are any of the people I witness rat arsed at meets munches socials and on cam gonna contribute to this thread or do we have another groupthinkthread on the go?
I dont think the two should go hand in hand. I dont drink much myself and sometimes stick to soft drinks all night. That is my choice however and I dont object people drinking in general.
I agree with others if you are on a meet one or two to brake the ice is fine but if you need to get pissed to swing then there is something seriously wrong and perhaps you shouldnt.
I was at a munch few years ago were there was a female who was so drunk she could hardly stand up. Another one a bit more rencently there was another female who was the same also she was feeling up every male there and they were one of the organisers! :shock: I think this a bad example to newbies on how to behave at a munch/social but this is only my personal opinion.
