Poll: Do you drink Alcohol?

[insertclevernamehere]

No not at all.

I dont drink too often. When I do I mostly drink Guinness(though I have tried many different types of drinks). I love the flavor and its an enjoyable way to relax.

I'm the guy who checks "Socially" on the questionnaires. Sometimes it's moderate and sometimes to excess. I'm not the biggest fan of the sauce, but a couple pints of Guinness do make me strong. (P(o)ints and a cookie for the reference in the end there.

EDIT: Just realised the irony of posting that with a Minor Threat avatar.

Guinness is the most amazing drink in the world. Pints of Guinness make you strong by Against Me is an amazing song.

I rarely drink, and I've only been drunk once, maybe twice. Neither time was fun.

Beer is piss, though, if you're gonna drink, it has to be vodka or some other hard drink. Apparently I was an alcoholic in my other life, because when I drink, it's usually straight out of a bottle of Vodka.

I don't bother to read because you are only nagging about "Moderation!".
And with that logic, anything is fine if it is, in moderation.

Am I wrong?
Are you right?
Do I care?
Why do you care?

I don't accept it, I don't respect it, and I stay away from it.

A lot of drugs are not good even in moderation because they are physically addictive. Alcohol is not physically addictive at all. You can get addicted to it, but it's a mental addiction in the same way you can get addicted to shopping. I don't really mind if you stay away from it or that you don't accept it, but after complaining that people nag you about being alone, it seems hypocritically for you to turn around and nag others about their lifestyles by not respecting it. And no, alcohol in moderation is not damaging for your liver. In excess, it definitely is.

That being said. Marker's Mark and ginger ale please.

I drink rarely.

It is a pleasant feeling and there is nothing wrong with it. I made myself a vow that I'd only drink when happy, thus I'm always a happy drunk.

I'd never drink out of depression or to ease stress, otherwise I'd end up one of those guys in a bar who feels like life is pointless... gah x.x

 

[The_Echo]

Nope. Firstly, I'm underage. Secondly, it doesn't appeal to me at all. Smells nasty, don't fancy the idea of being drunk... I prefer being in complete control of myself.

I'll just stick to water, Hawaiian Punch, and Pepsi MAX. That's all I need.

 

[uchi mata]

Pretty much every time I'm out with friends

 

[Mrselfdestruct]

Yep....kinda drank too much last night though. Much sickness was with me, but before I was sick I felt so...happy! It was almost worth it.

I'm only a few months off 18 but I drink though rarely, about 5 times a year though that'll probably go up once I'm of age and legally can go to pubs. When I drink I mostly only get tipsy and on occasion drunk. I don't find getting smashed appealing, I'd rather remember the fun I had and not have regrets in the morning.

I'm underage, but I've done my fair share of drinking. I voted no since after my last night with the drinks turned out not so good I gave it up. but honestly I think everyone should get completely drunk at least once, just don't do like I did and have someone to watch out for you and keep you from doing something completely stupid.

Well do you? For me I am underage but I have never thought of the idea of drinking a pleasent one. So I sort of made a early vow to never drink any Alcohol and just stick to Soda. I just like to keep sober as being drunk doesn't seem to be good physicaly or mentally.

Personally I do drink, but mainly at parties, and then only mix drinks (can't stand the taste of beer). While alcohol does have effects physically/mentally, that usually only occurs when one has ingested serious amounts (ie enough to cause you to throw up). I only drink until I start getting tipsy and then stop because that is my safe limit, the point where I'm still in control of my senses and will not suffer any ill effects (hangovers and such), but get that feeling of warmth and relaxation that comes to me.

I say try it a few times (once you're of age) before you say no to the stuff. You may find you'll like it. I didn't enjoy the stuff much either until I found a kind I liked. Just remember, don't try it on an empty stomach. You will regret it.

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

I'm the legal age, but I'm not a big drinker.

I was like you once. I too vowed never to ingest alcohol, thinking that I would be a better person if I kept to it. Then, one day, after I was legal, I drank. I then realized that I enjoyed it much more that I expected. Since then, I drink socially or after a long week. I enjoy the taste of (some) beer, and I like the relaxed, almost warm feeling I get from drinking a couple of beers (Dos Equis for me). I get black out drunk only a couple of times year, and I only do on very special occasions (birthday, Halloween) with very close friends.

Point is, OP, try to not keep this thought that drinking beer will automatically lead to your moral downfall. My opinion, if you never tried some, you should (just to get a taste), because then you can truly see if you would actually like drinking or not. I had that mentality, and I realized that I was intentionally keeping myself closed off for the sole reason of not looking bad in front of anyone. If you're never gonna drink, don't do for that reason or reasons similar.

 

[HT_Black]

No. No no no no no no NO. Not at all. Ever. For any reason.

 

[Skobvs]

Never have, never will. I'm not one to experiment with things I've seen go horribly wrong in the past.

I was the same way. Until I found a drink that I enjoy the taste of.

 

[Googooguru]

I used to drink heavily but now i dont drink anymore,much prefer being sober.. im much funnier sober and contrary to popular belief alot more outgoing without a bloody beer in my hand

 

[Stryc9]

Yes, but not very often and generally only with friends, which doesn't happen very often anymore since I'm down to one friend to drink with and I don't see her often enough.
