Poll: Do you Drink?

[Da Joz]

I do drink but not as much as I used to. The zenith of my drinking would have to be senior week of college. Good thing people took pictures or I would have no idea what happened that week.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I'm 21 but I don't drink. Didn't when I was younger and more rebellious. I don't plan to later on either. I've drunk at the one new years party I attended but I hate feeling dizzy.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

Being a Big Lebowski fan, I really only drink White Russians, and only on rare occaisions. I've never been able to mix a good one myself... I will also note that when my friends and I have a party, we all have a Blacktooth Grin (Crown Royal and Coke in a shotglass) in honor of Dimebag Darrell. I have a lot of Pantera fans as friends...

I disliked alcohol, I was told it would grow on me after a while, but it is actually a form of poison. So I don't think I need it.

Drinking is not about getting shitfaced.
Even so, if you blackout you have had way too much, that is approaching death via ethanol, the most embarrassing death there is.

It is here (Well, if you're under 18, at least). You either get so absolutely shitfaced that you get raped by nasty old men -regardless of your gender, which DOES happen on a VERY regular basis, by the way- after you pass out and have absolutely no recollection of the previous night, or you don't drink at all. There is NO middle-ground here.

The people who drink solely to get drunk are alcoholics, and should probably get help.

...I'm sorry, I can't think of response for that which doesn't just amount to; "No shit, Captain Obvious", and make me sound like a total ass.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you entirely, I'm just not in the best of moods right now and can't think of a non-assholey response to that at the moment.

 

[Canadaftw]

Im a minor so no.

 

[Gmano]

I'm under the legal age... so yes.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Once every weekend, a bottle or two of pear cider.

I suppose you could say I'm a mild drinker, really, for someone called Booze Zombie

 

[Joethelama]

no because i'm aloney 16 but i might when its legal for me to.

No.

The people who are addicted to drinking are alcoholics and should get help.

 

[300lb. Samoan]

certainly. if it's got alcohol in it, i'll certainly give it a try.
you know, i just remembered, there was a beer tasting festival in the union last night that I paid ten dollars to register for and I forgot all about it. DAMMIT

 

[TailsRodrigez]

purely for the social aspect

 

[Cakes]

Something about poisoning myself doesn't quite appeal to me, but some polite glasses of wine at a wedding aren't going to kill me.

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

A Guiness a day keeps the doctor away! (Well at every family event for me)

6 more days until leagal drinking age.....

 

[Nmil-ek]

Probably abit too much at the moment, hell alot too much on my third bottle of vodka tonight and went through even more yesterday, but hell what else does an unemployed guy have to do on the weekend.

Word to those not yet fallen it's a horrid habit if you get too into it or depend on it but there is nothing wrong with adult casual drinking just be smart about it you dont need to get smashed, though I'm the last guy who should give out advice >_>

 

[smithy1234]

I'm a 17 year old college student living in a rural area of Quebec, of course I drink.

 

[SimuLord]

Sober since August 14, 1996. The only difference between "the assault charges were dropped" and "manslaughter" is whether the victim lived, and the guy (a friend, yet!) I beat within an inch of his life over a girl when I was drunk and high thankfully got through that night. Once the fog cleared on that one, I was like "enough. This has to change." I went cold turkey and the memory of that night keeps me on the straight and narrow.

 

[dalek sec]

Well I kinda have to, keeps my power cells fully charged.

 

[Jaranja]

Everyday I have a glass of red wine, helps blood pressure.

Yeah, but so does grape juice. Hey, don't think I'm knockin' it (I'm Italian BTW), but you don't have to use that as an "excuse". Oh, yeah, drinking, fun.

I was always told Red Wine (of course, I didn't always drink it, that'd be silly) so I've stuck with that. I have the occasional beer with my brother as well.

 

[minignu]

On my third beer so far tonight.

Although I'm not gonna say that everyone should drink and drinking is awesome blah blah blah, I think those amongst you who never touch the stuff should at least try going for a few social drinks before you decide. Just know your limit is all. Also, although beer/wine/whatever may taste horrible for the first time, you start to appreciate it as you drink more of it. A lot of people I know quite often drink just because they like the taste as opposed to always drinking to get drunk.
