Why do people always brag/over exaggerate how much they had to drink the night before?!


Question: Why do people always brag/over exaggerate how much they had to drink the night before!?
I mean, it's one thing to be like "oh yeah I was pretty smashed last night, I don't remember much at all" and another thing to be like "oh **** I drunk like 20 beers, 1/2 bottle of vodka etc etc!.!. "

Is this ment to be 'cool' !?!?!?

Lol!. Its amazes me how intoxicated the person may be, yet they are still able to count how much they have drunk, sometimes even to an exact number!.!. like 24!.

Am I making any sense!? Or am I the only one who feels this way!.!.!? :PWww@FoodAQ@Com

It's not just you!. I manage a small bakery and about 4 days a week, the afternoon girl comes in and brags about how much she drank the night before-like its so cool to admit that you are hung-over at work!. It pisses me off, but she does her job (most of the time)!. I just don't know why she thinks we want to hear how she is tearing up her body and putting her life in danger (every time she gets behind the wheel)!. I'll bet they are exaggerating most of the time too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

People who brag does it because they lack of self-confidence!. They try to attract the attention of other people, so that they can feel better themselves!.!.!. Remember that drinking is a social activity, almost everybody drinks, but the thing is that for some people this is a way to show off terribly in front of others!. I don't think that people who get drunk can remember exactly how many how many bottles they drank!. This kind of behaviour is an expression of how sick our society is on the way of carrying out social relationships!.!.!.This is how most of people behave, but not well educated people, isn't it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

it prob cas they look in the wallet the next day and c they have no money left and just say i drank £100 last nite i was so drunk it was so cool!. but the truth most of the money prob fell on the floor and they looked really stupid cas they were so drunk on nothingWww@FoodAQ@Com

Meh, in all honesty I may not always remember what I did when I've been drinking, but I can average up how much I drank before I blacked out!. I'm not saying I'm always exact, but I can average it up a bit!. Mostly from receipts that is!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Same reason people brag about only getting 2 hours of sleep the night before!. You are more extreme or hard core if you have had the most to drink or have had the less sleep!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

generally because they're idiots!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
