Hey guys,
If you haven't heard of Necknomination it's a drinking game where you get nominated and have to down a pint of something then nominate two other people (the majority of video's I've seen, people have mixed various amounts of spirits with energy drinks). That's dangerous enough, but now people are starting to mix other things with alcohol. As an example, a guy here mixed cleaner fluid in with his.
I hate the Necknomination game. It's overly dangerous and it's getting way out of hand now. People are taking it too far because they want to look great, and they want to one up their friends, but I just think it's stupid!
Here's a link to a video about it- courtesy of helen!
I personally would break the chain. If friends are your true friends then they shouldn't care whether you do it or not, and it's entirely your choice.
What are your views on all of this, guys?

absolute idiots.
I have seen some videos on Facebook too, I agree with what you say about friends being true friends if they are real friends then surely they should understand. I don't get why people people are taking part.
" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

We were wondering if the issue is that it's gone beyond drinking and is more about dangerous dares? The boy who died ended up in cold river and that seemed to be more of an issue than the alcohol. It's a toughie...
I think part of the problem is that before 'the days of the internet' someone would do something stupid, and the only people that would be likely to see it would be their friends that were there at the time. (Who probably due to being friends and all, may be just as likely to do stupid things). But does sharing on social networks with the added pressure of being 'nominated' lead to people doing things they wouldn't normally? Hmm.
One involved a guy mixing in cleaner fluid, another guy mixed in WD40, another guy walked in to the local supermarket in just a thong and downed alcohol off the shelf. I know of two people (not including the guy in ireland) that have died.
I understand there's an issue with peer pressure so if guys got dared to do these things then I definitely think it's stupid but I'd be less shocked than I would be to learn guys are just choosing to do these things of their own mind. Either way, silly people.
I'm just struggling to understand why people feel the need to 'not let their guys down', are they really unable to make the right decision and choose for themselves?
I think it's pathetic.
All neknomination is, is turning into another avenue of peer pressure and potential bullying. I have taken part in a number of drinking games in the past, I wouldnt say it was wise or clever of me to have done so in anyway, however, all involved more than a single drink. People should always drink responsibly, if you choose not to then I would argue that neknomination is no different than any other form of peer pressure.
She couldn't understand why I was laughing in her face.
:yes:
Haha.
It might be bloody hilarious but I used to work with this guy, he was lovely and now he's gone because of stupid lads trying to out-do each other.
Im not one to judge, ive been involved in drinking games before and things have gotten messy but people really need to think before they dare their mates to do something
It's all about making a choice and not just blindly following your mates, if they dare you to do something stupid it's your decision, not theirs, whether you do it or not. People need to remember that.
