Just because you can't ______. doesn't mean you shouldn't _____. - Alcohol

[–]ayaPapaya 60 points61 points ago

1) pick up that hottie at the bar

2) try

[–]llcbdavis 32 points33 points ago

why not try? as willie nelson said, "better to shoot at a star and hit a stump than shoot at a stump and miss."

There's a big difference between trying to score out of your league and being like "Shay, you know what wud look good on yous? Thish guy."

[–]llcbdavis 1 point2 points ago

that was funny. you're so right. i guess i'm thinking more outside the bar scene.

1) Rail a gram of coke in 1 line

2) Do it because this stripper is smoking hot and you will look like a pussy if you don't

Just because you can't swim. doesn't mean you shouldn't try. - Alcohol

Not sure it works in every situation.

Just because. - Alcohol

[–]reverbs 0 points1 point ago

Wait, I shouldn't be listening to myself... I'm drunk...

[–]StreakyChimp 0 points1 point ago

Switch the 'can't' and the 'shouldn't' and insert 'take another shot' into the blanks and you have a pretty good outline of my thought process when I go out.

For panzerdriver: Just because I shouldn't take another shot, doesn't mean I can't take another shot. - Alcohol

[–]panzerdriver 0 points1 point ago

write it out !

[–]FishBonePendant -1 points0 points ago

1) afford a real vagina

2) try shoving one up your dick

[–]i_spit_hot_fire 16 points17 points ago

This is exactly how it works for me, but I always end up looking like a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. Who also jumps... in rhythm...ish.

But hey, I have fun doing it!

Yeah when it starts to get crowded in the bars that's pretty accurate.

[–]chaos386 -1 points0 points ago

Most alcohol drunk today is a solution of ethanol, water, sugar, flavors and colors.

[–]mtux96 116 points117 points ago

We can dance if we want to. we can leave your friends behind. 'cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance Well they're no friends of mine. I say, we can go where we want to A place where they will never find. And we can act like we come from out of this world leave the real one far behind. And we can dance.

[–]Karl_Marx_ 112 points113 points ago

Next time just post line of the lyrics, so we can all ride the karma train. Thanks.

It was like a deer stepped in front of my karma train.

I had my line all ready too. I figured it would be "cause your friends don't dance." Now I'm sad.

[–]gmick 0 points1 point ago

Wait, let me get this straight. Are you implying that Carlton can't dance?

[–]Squalor- 6 points7 points ago

DON'T TELL ME WHAT I SHOULDN'T DO, ALCOHOL!

I'm going to dance anyway, dammit!

Wait...

[–]AEIOU_occasionallyY 7 points8 points ago

Just because you spent all your money tonight doesn't mean you should buy everyone a round of shots on your credit card.

Just because you can't handle another drink without puking doesn't mean you shouldn't do it anyway.

Just because you can't remember where your car is doesn't mean you shouldn't drive it.

Yours truly, Alcohol

[–]Shefalump 1 point2 points ago

Worst decision I ever made while drunk - Bought $30 worth of pizza.... On 4th of July.

Pretty fuckin exciting, huh?

[–]papasweets 30 points31 points ago

*-MDMA

[–]souperninja 17 points18 points ago

Yes, but its more like "I'll make this music sound SO amazing that you're going to dance whether you want to or not". In my experience anyway - I used to hate dancing and people that did (partly because I sucked), but after doing it a few times, I love to dance even though I still suck. Wonder if that's from a positive learning experience or minor brain damage :P

[–]jlamamama 21 points22 points ago

MDMA is classified as an empathogen. You empathized the fact that nobody cares about the way anybody dances because the most important thing is to have fun!!! Yay MDMA!

[–]woofers02 21 points22 points ago

It also eliminates the ego, therefore you could give two shits what you look like and what other people think about you. As long as you're happy doing what you're doing, that's all that matters in life, like you said.

Until the comedown, then your ego and reality are all like, "Was that fun? You thought you could get rid of us huh? Well here's some depression motherfucker."

[–]JamMasterFelch 4 points5 points ago

I tend to get this thing with Ecstasy where I make best friends with a group of people and love them for about 4-5 hours and then when the come down kicks in I think all of them hate me. It's fun.

[–]woofers02 0 points1 point ago

Welcome to instant gratification! :)

[–]papasweets 3 points4 points ago

Whoa next level philosophizing there.

[–]KrazyEyezKilla 2 points3 points ago

Dance clubs are filled with some of the nicest most open minded people on the club scene.

Everybody is too busy with their 3rd degree gurns to care about anything else.

I still love watching this, nothing ever really changes.

[–]souperninja 1 point2 points ago

Holy schneikes, you translated that feeling into words, which totally blew my mind. As a recent convert to the dancing fan club, its easy to forget that and get caught up in worrying about what others think.

[–]AtomicRevGib 6 points7 points ago

Yep. MDMA gives a different way of enjoying music. As souperninja said, it makes it sound amazing. But....you start to feel the music, almost become a part of it and your movements will become synchronised with it and more rhythmic. The right music will take you with it and you will have no choice but to dance. Then you just do what the music tells you and feel good doing it. People around you won't care, you won't care. Win/win.

[–]ATownStomp 4 points5 points ago

I am seriously convinced that I was a much better dancer back when I used to do the whole "take MDMA and rave" thing.

Of course, you have to assume that you just thought that you were a better dancer but... naw. No, I know I was awesome. I wish I had footage to compare, even though that would be absolutely too embarrassing to watch.

Being able to get into the music, and having the confidence to not let other people's judgement create intrusive negative thoughts which can distract you do make me feel much more creative, in sync, and coordinated on the dance floor.

[–]facecube 20 points21 points ago

Nobody cares if you can't dance. If you enjoy dancing, dance! (PS you should enjoy it, it's fun)

[–]goshfyde 3 points4 points ago

Tell that to everyone who crushed my ability to ever dance again with their insults.

[–]ObviouslyNotTrolling 1 point2 points ago

You should watch this video and not give a fuck like these guys..

[–]goshfyde 1 point2 points ago

If I could dance half as well as those guys it wouldn't be a problem.

If only people who were good at dancing ever danced, nobody would ever dance.

[–]phw20 3 points4 points ago

Curiously, many humans have also said this to me.

[–]zxc12334 12 points13 points ago

Those humans are actually alcohol.

[–]phw20 3 points4 points ago

I KNEW it!

[–]blackasssnake 2 points3 points ago

i can dance pretty well - but when im all liquored up, i insist on physically slapping the floor open handed like it's my bitch

[–]Brutuss 2 points3 points ago

I kinda just start doing that hip shake thing you did when you were the 7 year old at a wedding, mostly because my feet get drunken sleepy and don't like to leave the ground.

[–]Agent_Zippy 3 points4 points ago

"Just because she looks like a fat version of Rosie, doesn't mean you shouldn't put it in her"--- another good alcohol quote.

[–]accostedbyhippies 6 points7 points ago

Wait, which Rosie? Cause if it's Rosie the Riveter I'd hit that. Hell if its the Jetson's maid, Rosie I'd hit it to. If its Rosie O'Donnell...well, who am I kidding. I'd hit it anyway.

[–]llcbdavis 2 points3 points ago

everybody should dance, and sing if they feel like it. and never be judged even if they are not great.

[–]I_DOXX_CATS 0 points1 point ago

I'm a shitty dancer, the only person judging me is myself.

[–]llcbdavis 1 point2 points ago

i am too but i wish i'd grown up in a culture where people could sing and dance poorly and not be laughed at.

[–]beanicole 1 point2 points ago

Story of my fucking life.

[–]Canopaint 1 point2 points ago

I don't know much about dancing. One of my legs is shorter than the other and both my feet's too long. 'Course now right along with 'em, I got no natural rhythm, but I go dancin' every night, hopin' one day I might get it right.

[–]Nomikos 0 points1 point ago

Problem is it takes enough alcohol to seriously harm me (2-3 day hangover) before it'll make me dance.. maybe one day..

[–]SirDerpingtonThe3rd 1 point2 points ago

You can dance if you want to.

You can leave your friends behind.

Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well, they'll be no friends of mine.

[–]TheMaxican93 1 point2 points ago

Even if you can't dance, you should dance (not because of alcohol but because you are a honey badger)

[–]NoIamnotdrunk 0 points1 point ago

I shouldn't dance.

[–]kyledouglas521 1 point2 points ago

I live by this rule alcohol or no.

[–]thefil 0 points1 point ago

I can't and shouldn't dance but alcohol does wonders. Couple weeks ago I was at Surrender in Vegas at a VIP table. My buddy said by the end of the night I was dancing so poorly and off rhythm that everyone else in the club sort of formed a circle so I could dance by myself. Forever alone.

I live in north Florida where there is an abundance of rednecks. Two things are ALWAYS present at a redneck party. Booz, and Karaoke. Good times are had.

[–]I_DOXX_CATS 0 points1 point ago

I use karaoke as a weapon against my wife. I did it on our honeymoon cruise where I sang the song we danced to right to her after a lengthy shoutout explaining the scenario

[–]Jacosion 0 points1 point ago

I dedicated fat bottomed girls to mine. It's my song for her. And rightly so.

[–]teamatreides 0 points1 point ago

Seriously, though, you should dance if you want to have fun. I understand dancing occurs at social venues, but it can be a really personal experience. It's so awesome that you just don't give a fuck. A small push is all you need, it's just that with alcohol people may take a bit too much. The thing is you can always dance because it's you who defines the dance, anyone who tells you differently doesn't care about you having a good time, and they don't know shit about dancing well.

Just because alcohol says its right doesn't mean it is

In my case, it does. I ended up shattering my knee last time I danced... I told people I can't dance, but noooo...

[–]sophacles 1 point2 points ago

Unless its some sort of competition, the only judging on the dance floor is: "man that person isn't dancing, they are really fucking up the party".

Just because you can't dance, does mean you are no friend of mine. Cause your friends dont dance and if they dont dance Well theyre are no friends of mine

[–]Ghash 0 points1 point ago

I just got out of a divorce after 8 year relationship. She was a professional dancer before we met and never, EVER, wanted to dance with me or even see me dancing when we went out. Because "I couldn't dance".

Now I am going out every night and dancing and I don't need alcohol to do it. Best time of my life.

[–]ObviouslyNotTrolling 0 points1 point ago

I met my GF at a club, she never wants to go to clubs anymore, and I'm like but I met you at one..

[–]lprekon 1 point2 points ago

How I live my life bro. I could be wearing a full morphsuit and go dancing, and people would be like "look at that uber-white guy in the morphsuit"

Fun Fact: No woman cares whether you are a good dancer or not, they just want someone that is willing to dance with them, because they want to dance/show off what a good dancer they are.

[–]SirArseToucher 0 points1 point ago

The best way to dance when you're drunk is to just make the silliest movements possible and then some how vary it in rhythm with the beat. It's like the Monty Python sketch "Silly Walks" club edition©.
