No, and as for my future I intend that to be rarely.
I probably haven't had enough non-medicinal alcohol in my entire life to get drunk.

I drink every day, mostly with my dinner but I often go to the pub after uni too. Still, it is only a couple of pints a day, I don't get drunk.
I'm a reasonable connaisseur when it comes to Belgian beers, and I do enjoy a good drink regardless of what day of the week it is. Having said that I never get too drunk to get home safely or lose control over myself. I do admit this has at times been a road of trial and some error, but I prefer knowing my limits rather than stearing clear or them just to be safe.
I'm a great fan of bizarre and strong flavours, as well as being very driven to know anything there is to know when I like something. It's just something I enjoy and that causes neither me nor anyone around me trouble, so I see no problem in it.
Now I'm off to get a glass of 10 year old Talisker whiskey, one of the most distinctive flavours you'll ever encounter. Love it!

I drink but only socially, never at home or alone. Once a week I'll head into this awesome metal bar in town and hang out with the friends I can't normally see because they live so far away. Great place too, good music, cheap drinks and amazingly nice people. I've been going there for 2 or 3 years now and there's never been a single fight in that place, not something I can say about almost all the other places I've been.
Now while I drink, I understand that some people don't go near alcohol for various reasons. Now for this I don't repect them, I don't disrespect them. I say "Ah, I see" and continue on with my life although I will acknowledge that every experience should be tried once, including being drunk. What's annoying me though, is that while I've been reading through some of posts in this thread, I couldn't help but notice that SOME[/b(not all)of the posters who don't drink seem to take a fabricated, superior moral high-ground against those that do. Does anyone agree with me or do you think I'm just being a tad paranoid?

Uhm... No. Evidently you're not a drinker, and you don't really 'get' it. Whilst I'm not saying that not understanding the appeal of drinking is wrong, you don't understand what you're talking about and are saying things which are completely wrong.Zeithri said:
OT:
I enjoy drinking both for fun on a night out, and for enjoying the drink itself. Enjoying a fine scotch is one of the best (but horribly expensive for a student) pleasures in life.
If you haven´t, try famous grouse white a Whisky you drink ice cold! Its like silk when it pours down your throat. And taste good.lithium.jelly said:
My self control and sense of self are very important parts of who I am, and I don't want to give them away, for even a moment or in part, to a mind altering substance. Also, after you have to carry your own half passed out drunk mother to the car after a football game which you had to cut her off from to keep it from getting worse, it kind of ruins any of the appeal. I was 12, by the way.
Well, living about an hour away from the Belgian border I think that'd be a lot harder to get than the actual Belgian beers, haha!Arachon said:
There's this guy right around the corner from where I live, who imports dozens of different Belgian quality beers directly from the abbeys and sells them in his little living room sized store. If you ever, EVER manage to get your hands on a Straffe Hendrik, a Pa Gijs or a Reinaerts Grand Cru, go for it!
I don't drink alcohol at all and earlier this year I took the next step and joined the IOGT-NTO. The rest of my family members are also teetotalers, as are several of my close relatives, but not for any religious reasons. Like a lot of other people, I like being in control.
Most of my friends drink, though, and I don't hold that against them. After all, being a condescending jerk who sneeres at everyone who doesn't share my lifestyle is not a good way to make friends. I do believe that alcohol causes a lot of problems in society and I would very much like to see a massive decrease in alcohol consumption.

nope maybe one or two glasses of read wine a year I dont realy have reason or will to drink alcohol
as the Fench so rightly say;
Everything in moderation especially moderation
So I don't think there is anything wrong with occationally having a drink!

No, but that's because the stuff tastes awful. No matter how little alcohol you put in an ordinary drink, yes, I can detect it. Otherwise, I suspect I might drink it once in a while on a social basis. Getting drunk for the sake of getting drunk seems kinda stupid, TBH.
I do drink occasionally, but never anything more than a glass of beer at dinner at the weekends. I never get drunk - I have done so occasionally (although one of the times, I didn't know it was alcoholic, and I was about 10, and it was half-fermented wine, and so I was drunk before I knew it), but have never done it purposefully. I hated the feeling in the morning, and I don't like the feeling that you can't really control yourself when you are drunk.
When I'm 18 (I'm 16 now), I might celebrate by going to the pub and having one pint to celebrate my new freedom, however I won't abuse my newfound freedom.
Oh, and I hate the thought that when I'm drunk, my beloved brain cells are being killed off.

Occasionally, I drink like 1 can a day when we have it in the house, but that is also like once every 2-3 months.
I drink primarily with meals- usually wine or something like that.
I've been shit-faced drunk once (when it was my intention) and that ended badly, so I don't plan on trying that again.
I do enjoy the sensation of two servings of alcohol though, so I'll probably just hover around that amount. Alcohol is a depressant, but acts like a stimulant at first because it lowers your inhibition: however, it can quickly go from a "stimulant" to a depressant, so I plan on moderating myself in the future. I did some reaaaaaaally stupid shit that night, but at least I know better now. xD
Oh yes, and I'm currently 18. My parents let me drink with meals, and the other incident was far way from them.
