-Living with my folks who think I'm an alcoholic and have banned liquor from the house. I'm pretty stealthy with it, but getting loaded is quickly becoming too much like hard work....

-Got a girlfriend who has decided that since we've now done the backpacking thing we need to settle down and get a house. Guys, I don't need to tell you what's wrong with this picture.

-Got a job. Ditto above.

Try moving out into a cheap house share. This should enable you to drink and enjoy life without hassle.

Ditch the girlfriend if you don't love her. If you do love her, then just rent a house together or something.

Having a job is better than no job. After all, you need money to buy booze and stuff...

You should probably just kill yourself.

Do What I Do:

Lots and Lots of Cocaine.





What was the question?

[John Barleycorn]

It sucks that your parents won't let you drink. I'd understand that if you had no job, but everyone deserves to drink after a day of work.

The obvious solution to #1 is to move in with #2. Then your only problem is a job.

How old are you, Wolfie? Because my answer rides on your reply.

Twenty-goddamn-four...

stay at someone else's house when you've been drinking

[Jiggers McCoy]

At 24 you should definitely not be living with your folks, but also not buying a house with someone you're not married/engaged to.

If you do see some kind of future with the girl, rent together for awhile. That way you split the rent money AND get to fuck all the time.

Wolf...since I don't know you personally, or all the minute particulars of your situation, consider any advice from me to be only suggestions that you might consider.

First, it's your parents house and it's their rules. So you need to get your own place regardless of what transpires with your girlfriend. And the only way to get and keep an apt or house is by having a job. If you don't like(?) the job you have, by all means search for another, but you gotta be employed. So, if you're considering leaving(?) your job, make sure you have something else lined up. As far as setting up house with your GF, does she drink? Because if she doesn't, it's very likely that you won't be able to live together for long before she's gonna get tired of living with a drunk.

My advice would be go slow. Keep the job you have, get yourself out of your folks' house and settled into your own apt. Then you and your GF should sit down and discuss your options as far as the future of your relationship and living together.

Best of luck, pal.

Thank you all for your honest opinions and helpful insight. However, I think I'm going to go for Mr Lahey's suggestion. :)

[Frankennietzsche]

Here's an alternative: stay at your parents' for a while longer and save up your money. Have the girlfriend get an apartment and stay over there when out drinking.

You are 24, you say. Too young to settle down, I say. Also, swath thy chunk in latex. Don't need to be forced to settle down. Be immature for as long as you can.

[μεθύστακας]

Yeah, I think Frankennietzsche is on the right track.

Just found apartments to rent in Thailand for £70 a month. I'm tempted not only because I could easily afford to live there for like a year, but also cuz I miss Lao Khao!!!

Good man!

If that doesn't work, go bang trannies in Thailand!
