Poll: Do you drink alcohol?

[launchpadmcqwak]

I don't drink at all and think Alcohol is a plague on society.

But nobody will ever take that seriously. Take people's booze away and they riot.

So, I don't really care if you drink, I just want no part of it. I won't openly hate you for it or explain my views to people while they drink and enjoy themselves.

You are right, it is just a massive burden on nearly every society on earth...but goddang it is very fun

 

[Twilight_guy]

No. Too many alcoholics in the family, including a brother who almost died of alcohol poisoning in high school.

 

[Rednog]

No, I don't drink, don't get me wrong I have nothing against it. I just don't have friends so drinking alone seems kind of sad and most likely would be the ultimate bottom of the barrel for me.

 

[Vegosiux]

I do enjoy me some good beer. But I drink in moderation, and don't get hammered. I mean, it's just silly, if you drink to forget, nothing will change, if you drink to party, I don't see why you'd want to not remember anything in the morning.

 

[Lord Garnaat]

No, never have, never will. Personally see it as a weakness at best, a crippling vice and a plague on society at worst. Can't imagine the appeal behind, guess some people just enjoy killing themselves.

Simple poll. If so why, if not, why not?
Anyway, your thoughts?

Yup. I've never gotten properly drunk, as I see no reason to, but I enjoy fluffy drinks.

Like Baleys Irish Cream (or the generic equivalent) in milk or milk coffee (like those pre-made Starbucks vanilla drinks). Yummy.

Or Amaretto. I fucking love Amaretto.

 

[Wolves]

Yes. In fact, I have a dram of Talisker in front of me right now

I don't like getting pissed. But I really love the taste of a good single malt whisky.

I would never force a drink on anybody who does not want one. But I will also not abide anyone preaching to me about the evils of drinking.

i have a few swigs, but i dont go out of my way to buy it.

 

[Fijiman]

I choose other because I do not drink, but that's mostly because I legally can't drink.

 

[Thistlehart]

Yuppers. With enthusiasm, too!

Though I make an effort to curb my enthusiasm in the name of a good night's sleep and a morning sans hangover.

I used to drink heavily, but that was mainly because I was in the Navy (the phrase "drink to the foam" is in our fight song...it's REQUIRED!)
I don't blackout drink anymore, but I still get various degrees of buzzed. Sometimes with buds to have fun, sometimes at the end of the day to unwind.

I don't think I'll ever stop completely. But I don't have a problem with it, so I don't see any reason to.

 

[DanielBrown]

Yes. Started drinking regularly pretty damn early(at the age of 13 or 14) and have been at it ever since. These days I don't drink nearly as much, but I get out at least once every third week I reckon.

Probably started drinking because it was rebellious and cool, then it became part of my life style. Going out, drinking, meeting new people and having fun on the weekends is pretty great. If only it wasn't for hangovers and pubs upping the price by like 300%...

 

[Saulkar]

I tolerate it given that some tasty drinks are ruined after the alcohol has been distilled from it.

 

[trollnystan]

I voted "Other".

I don't drink anymore because I didn't like how it made me feel; sad, alone, headaches, etc. My father was an alcoholic too, so that factors in. I also had the precursor to a stomach ulser a few years back which will make a great excuse next time I'm in Ireland and my relatives want to buy me drink =) (a simple "no thank you" doesn't always suffice)

(ugh I hate posting on my phone!)

 

[Vanilla_Druid]

I've never had any. I don't drink because of

1) health
2) money
3) wanting to keep my wits about me
4) alcoholic family members

Not much of a social gathering person anyway (never gone out with friends or anything) so I don't mind it at all. Not to mention that I seem to be fairly immune to peer pressure, if high school was any indication

Pretty much sums up my experience with the stuff. Having an alcoholic parent is no fun.

 

[synobal]

In my life I've at most had a few sips of wine, each sip on different occasions mostly to try and understand why people insist wine can taste good and tastes like more than sour grapes. I don't drink, and mostly it's because I've got an addictive nature. I've seen drunk people, I grew up around a lot of drunks so I never saw the appeal.

That said, I've got booze in the house but only for cooking, and I do occasionally require help choosing a good wine to cook with, or some other liquor to use.

 

[Ashadowpie]

im against alcohol personally. it doesnt help that the vile brood makes you reek. drink more you turn into a loser. more drinks you become an asshole then full on retard once drunk. it then rightfully punishes you with the worst headache ever in your life afterwards. worst of all, it tastes awful.

and people drink this stuff?. interesting.


maybe its because my grandpa was a scary alcoholic. but all i know it im staying the hell away from that stuff
