Until about a month or 2 ago, yeah I was a drinker. I stopped since I didn't like how I got after drinking. I used to always end up a mess, but just shrugged it off and just did the same again next time I went out, but that last time just made me want to kick it completely.
Also, decided I was sick of being fat and lazy, so been on a bit of a health kick recently, and knocking back pint after pint really doesn't help with that.

Yes, yes I do. Mostly Malibu rum, either mixed with soda (any soda) or just straight if I'm feeling lazy. I love rum. Generally I pick up a mickey and split it with my boyfriend and we spend the night gaming while drunk.
I always found alcohol to be too bitter for my taste, and I've been raised in a household where one of my parents was a really bad alcoholic, so with those two combined I couldn't ever get into that stuff. As long as you're doing it in moderation you're okay, but if you are getting so drunk that your fat ass is blocking the halls because you've gone on all fours and are taking an hour to get to bed, I can't say that I'm going to like you very much.
Very rarely, and usually only socially. By which I mean: someone wants to celebrate a special occasion with a glass of wine, I take a glass. I'm on vacation at the beach with my family, I buy myself a ridiculous fruity drink with a little paper umbrella in it (yeah, I'll admit it: strawberry daiquiris are delicious). Never more than a glass of something, though. Alcoholism and addictive personalities run in my family; I'm not planning on testing my restraint when I don't have to.
And, having witnessed many friends completely embarrass themselves while drunk, I have no desire to do the same.

The fact they want to do stupid stuff in the first place is an indicator that they are bad people to begin with. No amount of self-restraint changes that, they just don't end up in a court room.zehydra said:
I don't become an asshole, or mean, or aggressive or things that could get me into a court room when I am drunk, so not everyone falls into your category of children when stripped of restraint.
How would you know? Your own perception of yourself is screwed up too.Boris Goodenough said:
The only way you would know that you're not an asshole when you're drunk is if the people you're with say you aren't. Maybe that's what you're riding on already.
But I'm not just talking about meanness either, people do really stupid things they wouldn't otherwise do as well. Like urinate in the hallway.
Don't tell me that somebody urinates in the hallway because deep down, they're the kind of guy that urinates in hallways anyway.
Because I am fully aware of the stuff I do when I am drunk and remember 98%? And I haven't had any comments of doing stupid stuff while I have blacked out, all the stuff I have done when I am drunk is stuff I would otherwise have done anyway.zehydra said:
Why can't I tell you that? It goes perfectly with they are assholes with restraint but assholes none the less.zehydra said:
No, your honor... >_>
In all seriousness: Yes. I'm norwegian, what do you want from me?
As our culture dictates i go alcohol binging every now and then on the weekends so long as there's nothing important going on in class the following week.
It's a great socializer and i try to keep myself at a light and easy stage until everyone else gets smashed then follow. I like to keep up with the mental state of those around me. I think over time it might pan out to an average amount, but as with food i don't suppose having none for a while and then binging would be healthy so i ticked "probably too much" if only because that's probably how my liver feels when it's processing.
Never got blackout drunk though, only partial amnesia the following day. Dunno if that counts for anything.

Nope - never have and never will.
Don't see any compelling reason to, and plenty of reasons not to - especially that life presents us with enough potential vices as is, and I try to minimize my own.
It seems to me that people who to drink do so merely out of established habit or because the want to use it to drown their worries; I never established the first and detest the second reason.

i like my scotch.
but more than my whiskey.
and more than my tequila.
and more than my rum.
and more than my gin.
and more than my vodka.
but i do enjoy a nice sugared absinthe with some pepsi or sprite. i've yet to try with vermouth, which ive heard is quite alright.

Sure, but not too often. I've only been what could be described as "drunk" three or four times in my life. But I usually go to a bar every week or so. Not that I very much. Getting drunk is expensive.
After seven years of student's life, preceded by two years of being legally allowed to drink in secondary school, again preceded by the occasional sip of beer when it was ilegal, I can state that I have conquered the absolute hangover.
According to the definition of 'heavy drinker' of the Central Bureau of Statistics, I'm a heavy drinker. But I'm a student.
Do I drink too much? Nah. I don't think so.
-EDIT-
I wonder how many of you people are fun at parties, if you get invited at all...

ah, yes, kidna like how i make Kvass, buy some stuff premade already sicne going from the grain is enormous inefficient work.DoctorImpossible said:
bonus points if you know what Kvass is.
you drink too much if you drink at all in my opinion. sadly the law does not agree.Spinozaad said:
I rarely go to parties because i dont like massive conglomerate of drunk people doing stupid things acting like they are enjoying themselves. However when i do go, usually to a party where i actually do know the people involved, i do am fun enough, and i dont need alcohol for that.
Why do you think that? From a health point of view, you live longest when you drink 24-36 g of ethanol a day (2-3 33cl 4.6% beers), beer also keep your teeth in better condition.Strazdas said:
