In case I'm coming across as a sleep bore

Bloke I knew at uni swore by half a pint of gin topped up by half a pint of brown ale. Swore by it. Out like a light.

I’ll bet his liver wasn’t so keen on it. Sounds like someone destined for alcoholism.

PS I'm not sure of the terminology but they say drinking yourself to sleep isn't the kind of sleep that we usually require. Some people do resort to that, though.

I like that you say usually, like sometimes boozing ourselves unconscious is exactly the type of sleep we need.

My early going-out drinking experiences were just getting bored and pissed and sleeping in a pile of coats after dancing my legs off. At my first Halloween at uni I ended up at some house party in some neighboring halls and slept in the space they didn't have a dishwasher in their kitchen. People threw pick and mix at me, fun times.

Better than the following year where I practically ate some guys face kissing him I was so drunk, felt bad and tried to go on a couple of dates with him with no spark then proceeded to get pretty much stalked by him for a year. Not fun times.

I found in my final year at uni a nap between 3-6 really helped me slog a long night of studying/ kill my social anxiety forcing myself to socialise outside or watch a marathon of anime.

It was an unfortunate choice of wording, completely unintentional.

You can’t take it back now! I’m one bottle down and onto number two and I’m just getting going.

Last night. Down the bingo. The left arm of my Ralph Lauren specs just pops off before I play the National big money game. Pissed me off cos I'm pretty skint at t'mo and new specs is just gonna make the rest of me month a frugal, beerless one.

Anyway, after the line I've got eight on one card. I'm sensing instant karma.

House prize is £1900. Enough for TWO new pairs of specs, a big telly, more....

I'm waiting for one number for the house for like fifteen numbers, my heart is bulging out my chest.

Do I win? Do I ****.

My 20s end in 3 more days...

My 20s were just a drunken wasteland of debauchery. My 30s I've actually grown and become a more solid human. In my opinion, your best decade is to come.

Every time you think about it for a few years, just think 'I was in my twenties only 1/3/5 years ago.' It seems like a good strategy, I remember when we left school we thought we were getting old, haha the delusion.

Anyway I have an irk for this thread. I used to hate online shopping because I would know I'm too lazy to return unwanted items.

Lately, for broken items, the seller might message me, 'If we refund 2 pounds, and you keep the product, is that ok?'. Then the figure changes. I have to spell out to them the item is BROKEN, as in keeping it is of no use or value.

20s were definitely an experience but the tail end I think I've gotten over and through a lot. Feeling good about the future.
