Poll: Do you drink Alcohol?

[Outright Villainy]

I drink about 4-5 beers per week on average I'd say.
I rarely even get drunk (maybe once every couple of months), but god damn I do love beer.

And the shop near us has an offer for 20 bottles of miller for 15 euro.
Ah, good times.

I'm under age and drink a lot, I guess it's more embedded into British culture than it is to the USA's

Everyone needs to lose control every once in a while. Whatever your chosen method of doing so is fine by me. (within reason)

 

[Electrogecko]

Lol so many people going "no cuz it tastes like shit." You take a few shots, you chase it down with some juice, then you get on with your night with a........a new perspective.

 

[Koganesaga]

I've tried wine, beer, and champagne, all of which were disgusting. I know it probably doesn't taste good to most people and they drink it for the buzz, but eh. I personally feel that if you need to alter your sense of reality in any way, you need to to some kind of help.

P.S. I don't buy that whole, "drinking is genetic" crap. There is nobody in my family that doesn't like the stuff (that includes aunts, uncles, grandparents, and even a few underage cousins), and I find it utterly repulsive. Hell the one time I actually drank a whole cup was at new years, and not only was it terrible, but the stupor it put me in was just unpleasant.

I'm english with scottish heritage, surprised i'm ever sober really.

I do drink but it always depends on how busy I am and only one or two. For example, during a semester, I don't drink as I am in lectures and labs from 9a.m until 5 or 6 p.m with usually only a 1 hour break for lunch. I do not want to have to go through that with a hangover or drunk. I will drink when I am on holiday, I have a few with my dad, and maybe a few friends, but I prefer to be sober. However, a drink with family and friends can be really nice if everyone is responsible

I do, but I'm a bit of a snob about it, when I was younger I could drink any old rut gut that got me drunk, now I'll take a can of coke or a glass of water over the $15 bottle of whiskey. So I rarely drink now, because it's too damn expensive to buy good scotch and vodka regularly.

 

[Gammaj4]

I haven't tried any, being underage, but I do know what Science says about Alcohol.
And Science tells me that getting drunk impairs every sense I've got, and makes a royal moron out of me.

So, no, I'm not going to drink the mind-altering, liver-damaging gook, that provides only temporary and meaningless escape from the trials of life.

 

[Kaptajn Emil Alfred Conan Swagga Benzon]

Nope.

I've had a sip of scotch and it was shite.

Not my thing. To each their own.

I drink regularily and absolutely can't stand the taste of scotch. Just sayin'.

Scotch is the shit, dudes.. It's like jazz, you gotta force yourself to like it, and when you do... Whooaaaahh

[AVATAR_RAGE]

On occation, I prefer to keep my mind focused and what not. But it doesn't mean I don't have a good time

When I do drink though I tend to go for vodka, seeing as I don't like the taste of anything else.

 

[zen5887]

I'm a pretty big fan of drinking. Although, being Australian I have no sense of moderation, so it can be expensive.

I'm pretty sure you also just described gaming. And sex. And pretty much every other joy in life, dude. It's the little things that make up life, and if you avoid these things, well... you have no life. No offense.

 

[Dr.Poisonfreak]

I did used to drink, i used to party with the best of them up till about a fortnight ago, i drank a bottle of whiskey and felt sick as a dog for it, so from then on i vowed to stop drinking, now i am smoke (finally! )and drink free i feel lot better i must admit

 

[JWAN]

Only when I play Mario Cart 64, so I can make up new swear words.

 

[anonymity88]

Of course. It's the cause of and solution to all of life's problems.

 

[Scub4]

I am German. That means yes.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

Nope. I don't really like the taste or smell of alcohol. I have had a drink before, but I've never been able to finish it because I get a killer headache.

When I do turn 21 though, I'm going to get drunk. That will be the first and only time I will do so. I just hope I don't do/say anything to make my gf too mad at me. XD

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

Of course ... I only drink cider, ale and wine because it makes it easier to believe I'm in 16th century continental Europe <.< Only the poorest of the poor drank filthy water.

Kinda funny how time changes things ... people will now spend 4-5 bucks on bottled tap water (yes that's all it is in Australia ... you're deluding yourself if you think it's anything more!) when not that long ago people only drank milk, or fermented drinks due to water contamination o.o

Drinking ale, wine or cider was safer due to the processes that went into it's creation n.n
