Poll: Alcohol and your reasons...

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

I don't drink, for a number of reasons:
1. I'm only 16, and I personally want to wait until I can legally drink.
2. I'm diabetic. Alcohol is made up of (primarily) complex carbohydrates, which, when broken down, becomes sugar, which does nothing good for me.
3. I've been warned by my brother (he's 20) that drinking usually won't lead anywhere good. He's had stories ranging from friends vomiting in casino bins to falling asleep on the driveway.
I might start when I'm older, but nothing too 'powerful' (vodka, absinthe).

Makes fun more fun.

I try not to drink so much that I'm completely fucked. Still like to be right in the zone though.

 

[Aetera]

I'll sometimes have a drink with dinner, and I often drink with friends. I drink because I enjoy it. I'm 23, so there's no stupid "rebellious" lure to it, which I personally never understood or experienced. It's not a big deal to me one way or the other. It's just something enjoyable to indulge in when I feel like it.

Jack and Coke, though? So delicious. Also, mojitos are pretty much the best thing ever.

Haha, glad you like it.

Speaking of alcohol, I definitely didn't take that whole moderation thing into consideration last night, really paying for that now,

Oh god same ...... came home at 3 in the morning and my dad found me asleep downstairs when he was going out to work at 7 =D

On my third pint of water already and Ive only been up about half an hour.

 

[Loop Stricken]

No two ways about it, I drink to get drunk. I'm a happy drunk and a miserable sober.

 

[DonMartin]

I drink beer, and for the flavour.

I actually don't enjoy wine, mostly. Sometimes, with food, it can be delicious, but beer/lager/ale/stouts are still, and will be my favourite. Followed by whisky.

 

[AM City Watch]

I drink whiskey, vodka, and rum, because they are delicious and because being tipsy is fun.
Usually with friends, though. Drinking alone isn't worth the effort.

I'm Irish.
I conform to the stereotype.

 

[Vern5]

Drinking helps me loosen up and generally powers all of my ridiculous activities and life-choices. I've made a lot of great connections with powerful or interesting people through the medium of alcohol. Its liquid bravery/inspiration.

 

[Jasper Jeffs]

It tastes nice, it's fun and I don't give a fuck about anything when I'm drunk. I've had some insane times too when I'm drunk, stuff that just wouldn't happen if you were sober.

Give me some alcohol and it won't be long before me and my mates are dancing like homeboy here at 4:40, the elephant man move is where the pussy is at.

 

[X123Lewis123X]

Ah well, at least you made it home, more than I can say for myself. Powerade is the miracle cure, so I had a bottle of that and walloed in self-pity from my bed when I finally did make it home

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I only drink socially, and since I'm rarely ever sociable, I rarely drink.

 

[0p3rati0n]

I don't drink any alcohol except at church, but that barely counts. I have tried both wine and beer and I don't like it one bit. I don't understand how people get into it. Same goes for coffee.

Yeah, know that feeling. I once woke up in a uni quad wearing some girls clothes which were about 5 sizes too small, best bit is, I don't go to uni, so I was pretty lost, damn alcohol.

Hahahaha quality. No more drinking now till my exams are over... next Friday however shall be EPIC >

Take a look at this video actually Irish humour but I'd say most people will get a laugh out of it.

 

[ApeShapeDeity]

I thought of something today... drinking is like regression therapy. You have a few and your laughing at silly shit like you were 12 again, have a few more and you turn back into that physically and socially awkward 5 year old... but take it too far and you're crawiling on your hands and knees and crying cos you've pissed yourself.

Also, alcohol make boring people seem more interesting. (all be it temporarily)

 

[feeback06]

I drink because I like the flavor (I love a good, feisty kick-in-the mouth. Especially when GoldSchlager is involved) and I drink to make the night much more fun, but I only do that whenever other people are getting drunk with me. Contributing all those factors together, it's actually pretty rare that I get thrashed (about once every one to three months).

This is pretty much my answer word for word, but a lot of my friends who don't drink say I make their nights better too due to my insights and ramblings.

Yeah, that video sums up a few nights I've had, never great experiences. Yeah, I get payed on thursday, so I think I know what's happening on the weekend.
