Poll: Isn't being a "lightweight" a good thing?

[Mauso88]

I'm a bit of a lightweight, but I don't care; I don't drink to please others.
Besides, I can grow a decent beard.

i'm not really a lightweight, but i would hate to be one. i know its cheaper, but i prefer to have a few, be more relaxed and have a laugh, but being paraletic makes me feel like i need to drink more, then i need to be carried home, spend the next few hours throwing up and then black out. if i was a lightweight, that would happen so much more often

 

[s0p0g]

neither.
i drink the eff as much i want to, when the eff i want to, and they are going to effing like it!

but "good" or "bad" has about nothing to do with it.
if he likes spending a shitload of money to get drunk, let him be your guest. but a quiet guest (aka shut the fuck up) ^^

It may be practical, but manlyness isn't always about practicality.
Were beards ever practical? No.

You ever grow a beard during the winter time? It's like a coat for your face. When it's -30 degrees Celsius outside, I say a beard is pretty damn practical.

for alcohol, being a lightweight will almost inevitably cause problems as you will be the one for get drunk and do something monumentally stupid or disgusting
there is nothing wrong with getting tipsy easily as long as you can drink loads before you shut down


weed, on the otherhand, lightweightness is a good thing, and a moneysaver

Anyone ever accuses me of being a lightweight, I challenge them to inject 1/2 a gram of heroin. That shuts them up...in fact they rarely talk to me ever again.

Nah, I'd just say. "Down that bottle of absinthe then.... ard man."

Anyone can shoot up, it takes a real moron to think they're man enough to down a litre bottle of absinthe.

The difference is that I can do the former without blinking, the latter would get me killed too.

Nothing is really good or bad cause we're all just dust in the wind.

Kinda bums me out, really.

It's quicker and cheaper, where are the disadvantages?

About 3 hours ago, my brother said to me "you're a lightweight!" after I'd ingested about 5 units of alcohol and wanted to stop, and made it out to be a bad thing, which pissed me off, so I came here and seeked the opinions of internet peoples.

This of course means I'm still a bit drunk when I write this. Nonetheless, I want a super serious discussion.

It's only ad if you try to drink like your not and make an arse of yourself, no one like someone who is exceptionally more drunk than they are.

Just slow down your drinks and save some money.

If you're drinking with the intention of getting drunk then being a lightweight is a good thing, because you get drunk faster and cheaper. But why on earth would you do that?

If you're drinking because you enjoy alcoholic drinks then being a lightweight is a bad thing, because you can have less of what you enjoy.

I'm in it for the flavour of delicious single malt whisky, and fortunately I have a tolerance to match. Even so I make an effort to avoid getting drunk, so tend to have a lot of water in parallel with any alcohol.

 

[Sethzard]

It's neither particularly. It depends on whether you're in it to get drunk, or drink people under the table.

 

[lacktheknack]

It's better not to drink at all.

I win.

What this guy said.

And if anyone insults you for being a lightweight, challenge him to take a shot of meth and say it again.

 

[Woodsey]

The Speedos I'm wearing right now aren't comfortable, but I'm wearing them because that's what men fucking well do. Now go back to your brother and drink until you're shitting whole bottles of beer.

 

[cavemano727]

Well I've never called someone a lightweight because of drinking. I call people lightweights when they get stomach aches from one ibuprofen, because that's straight up embarrassing. So I'd say it's only bad if you're really really a lightweight.

 

[Thespian]

Attractive to gay men.

Where are you getting that, out of interest? I've never looked at someone making an idiot of themselves after two drinks to be attractive..

OT: it depends on your lifestyle and viewpoint. i.e Do you care if certain people consider you unmanly for that metabolism and is it important that you get drunk fast and cheaply?

I don't really care for getting drunk as quickly as possible so being a light weight wouldn't help me. Luckily I'm pretty okay with drink.
