Laws about sale and public drinking ≠ Private drinking and common attitudes and allowances commonly given to minors

The discussion point is about learning to be responsible with alcohol at younger ages rather than greatly restricted until you cross a magic line which also happens to be when you rule yourself as an individual.

Hey, hey, just pointing stuff out now, I'm not arguing. I agree that attitudes are different in every country. I just don't think a blanket "kids should start drinking when they're 15" is a responsible answer, that's all.

he probably would have stabbed you in the eye, exploding its gelatinous core.

My roommate was in our room with a girl, so I decided to just lay down on our really nice bathroom rug. Threw part of my tantrum in there. Toilet, tiles etc, I punched them. fuck I am dumb...

Your roommate was with a girl, so you threw a tantrum on the bathroom's rug ?

You should try the remote therapy :

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Is this University of North Dakota? Or NDSU?

 

[Jburton]

Why are you telling your iPad WTF and not just what the fuck?

Your hand is not broken is it.

I am not 100% sure but I smell the faint aroma of bullshit.

 

[WAR recon zero]

glad to hear you are ok op.

Now laid back the alcohol parties and get better friends

 

[Lord Phol]

All you guys yelling "anger issues", have you never punched a pillow or broken a keyboard in a fit of rage? Judging by your posts you all sound like some buddhist monks or something.
Also the Guy with the knife is the one with the real issues.

 

[Mascot]

I tried to prevent a shitty situation and ended up putting myself into a worse one.

Punching toilets is NOT the way to avoid shitty situations...

The only thing I've broken out of anger was Fifa Street for PS2 and that bitch was asking for it.

All hail Broseiden, Brogenitor of Brometheus, Whose Brolly Gift Inspire Edgar Allen Bro's Broetry. Bromide.

Get your anger issues checked out.

He said he broke his hand punching walls, toilets and doors. I'd say that's quite different than punching a pillow.

Also his reasons for doing so are hard to comprehend ....... because people where fighting?

The worst i've done is a crack on a piece of glass.
all the ones who finds that breaking a door crushing his hand because of rage can happen probably have anger issues.

 

[okdakor]

He was just trying to drive away a maniac who was screaming in every room, punching doors and ruining the party with his drunken bros. Imagine, if his pong team lost... girl punched, kitchen punched...

 

[rezuth]

I lost it

 

[marrec]

OP sounds like a nosy guy with serious rage issues. People are probably talking about how much of a jerk this guy at the party was who wrecked the house.

 

[Jburton]

Fucking lol.

 

[Metalmurphy]

I also nearly got killed yesterday too. I almost got ran over by a car... but then I used the cross walk.




Did you pay for the door?

 

[Chibits12]

Sounds like a place out of control but damn, good thing you're safe though.

 

[pompidu]

Ugh I want to leave this and sleep but I will answer this. My roommate was in our room with a girl, so I decided to just lay down on our really nice bathroom rug. Threw part of my tantrum in there. Toilet, tiles etc, I punched them. fuck I am dumb...

You have weird anger issues. Do you think about the poo matter on your hands after you punch toilet? You probably eat right after that without washing your hands. Barbarian

 

[POWERSPHERE]

You called your car your 'ride'. I stopped caring then.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

This is some great douchebro RP but I feel like it got too eloquent in parts.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

You should have punched the volleyball girl in the vagina with your penis until you both reached orgasm, bro.

 

[Indrid Cold1]

Fuck... when you look at it like this the knife guy was the hero of this sorry tale.

 

[Nevasleep]

Much better than fisting some guy's back door, and nearly getting stabbed with his 8 inch "blade".

 

[Brazil]

Seriously, hahaha. OP needs to get some perspective.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

You and your teammates sound like insane juicer meatheads. What's that, you play baseball? J/k

Get some therapy, not every problem can be solved by smashing it to bits. And never fuck with someone else's crib when you're a guest, that is some grimy shit. Punching through his wall? You're lucky he didn't take a bat to your head.

 

[Wazzim]

Alcohol, nectar of the gods, humans just don't know how to savour it, they rather just abuse it and start acting like morons. It has always been like that and it'll always stay like that.

That or it's poison.

 

[Ein Bear]

Seriously, hahaha. OP needs to get some perspective.

But his Bros were fighting!

His Bros.

 

[sohois]

Nope.

ok

The knife appeared AFTER the poster punched the door.

He was not "almost stabbed" by that point.

To witnesses who did not know the OP's state of mind, it means they saw a stranger randomly break a door.

Your argument has the events out of order.

You are indeed correct, I did make such a mistake. That being said, I don't think it changes much, the stressful situation of the fight coupled with the alcohol still seems enough to get someone pretty riled up.

longer post

I must disagree with this post, since I do not see what the OP did as a 'violent outburst'. That term implies to me that he attacked people or otherwise tried to hurt someone. That is violence. Hitting a door, trashing a poster is nothing, many a person would react similarly just from stubbing a toe or something, when you add in the alcohol it becomes less shocking for me.

Of course, I am, and everyone is, going off of the OPs description, it may be that things were considerably worse than what is described, but we simply cannot know that. And, if the OP has a history of reactions like this then we would be more able to make a judgment, but we simply lack that information.

 

[qcf x2]

Baseball? Rage issues all around? Steroids.

 

[CrankyJay]

Sounds like you and your teammates should back off the sauce for awhile. Also, we're you showing off in front of the girl punching walls and doors and screaming?

i think there was some showing off of alpha dog status here, either intentional or not.

 

[agrajag]

I'm not saying he should've stabbed you, but the owner of the house was justifiably pissed at you and your shitty friend ruining his party and his house.

 

[Live Free or Die]

I was almost stabbed last night.

almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, so no you weren't almost stabbed.

Okay, if you're going to use such a strict definition of "violent" then simply replace it with "destructive" but it is still an objectively worse response than many other possible ways of responding. Looking back it is clearly not what the OP would have wished to do, yet it is what he did anyway, so there you have him acting in ways he didn't want to because he lost control. His lack of management is what led to this, so if he doesn't gain those skills, there is no reason one should assume a situation couldn't arise where he'd lose his cool again.

Recommending that a person look into learning important life skills of self-management is not an accusation of a chronic issue or lifestyle pattern, which is what I think you are assuming from our recommendations. Nobody is accusing him of that, especially since he seems to be very surprised by these events. However, the surprise does signal a lack of understanding, awareness, and control over himself, and that is something that can be learned. There are very few circumstances that would almost universally lead people to a destructive response. It's faulty reasoning to simply blame the circumstance and pretend there is no opportunity for self improvement revealed by these events.

 

[Derrick01]

There's some extreme bro culture going on here that I don't understand. You got insanely angry just because 2 people you knew were fighting? So angry that you punched a wall? Couldn't you guys just settle it by playing call of duty and calling each other homosexuals?

 

[soxinthebox]

lmao

 

[Raiden]

You really have to visualise the whole thing its pretty funny. I just imagine him as Tracy Morgan shouting to his bros, punching a door, some crying and then being really upset about what happened.

 

[Liberty4all]

Why would you wreck someone's house? The guy wasn't even involved in whatever silly drama you and your bros had going on, no wonder he was pissed.

So much this. Drama likely loads of alcohol AND you punched a hole in his wall. Lots of home owners would be feeling stabby at this point.

 

[Escape Goat]

Brothers dont FIGHT! Brothers gotta HUG!

You can't normalize this behavior - trashing rooms, getting into fights, and nearly injuring yourself is not something normal people do every time they get drunk.

It's self-destructive behavior that will only end badly when he ends up hurting a girl, putting some guy through a window, punching a fire extinguisher so hard he can't play baseball for a while, or fighting the wrong guy and ending up getting shot.

We all have our wild and crazy drunken days. OP is far, far past that line for most people.

 

[krypt0nian]

Lotta pent up latent homosexual tension in this little story. Just sayin.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Put yourself in his shoes. You would be blaming the toilet for being there! D:

OK, this is a fair point, though I must stress again that the effects of alcohol would be a natural contributor to a loss of control. But again, we are not aware of how drunk the OP is, and the lucidity of his post perhaps suggests someone still quite in control of his faculties. So I guess I agree enough with you.

You can't normalize this behavior - trashing rooms, getting into fights, and nearly injuring yourself is not something normal people do every time they get drunk.

You say every time, and if this were the case I would agree with you, but we just this one incident to go off of. Extreme situations can happen to anyone and not at all be indicative of the normal.

 

[shadyspace]

sports players are a menace

 

[Escape Goat]

if anything its a display of bravado for the girls benefit. or emotional overreaction due to alcohol. probably both.

 

[Shig]

You guys are kind of being dicks. Someone angry at him grabbed a knife and was coming towards him. The leap to "I may have been stabbed" is justifiable.

But I agree with most that you should definitely look into quelling your punch-lust, OP. Your reaction at getting upset should not be "HIT SOMETHING REALLY HARD," that's only going to create more and more bad situations if you let it continue.

 

[IceCold]

All you guys yelling "anger issues", have you never punched a pillow or broken a keyboard in a fit of rage? Judging by your posts you all sound like some buddhist monks or something.
Also the Guy with the knife is the one with the real issues.

It's because they don't go out or have no friends. Kinda hard to get really angry if the only people you know have avatars instead of faces.

 

[krypt0nian]

Nah most bro activity is the gay trying to get out. That's just science.
