Poll: To beer or not to beer?

[Hoxton]

Lots of people drink beer.
Personaly i don't like it at all, it's bitter and a heavy in general.
I prefer Wine with Honey or Sweet wines or cocktails.
So what the f*ck is up with all this beer drinking?

har har har

Well, mostly because those 'lots of people' you mentioned includes all of my friends, so it's something fun to do with them. Also it definitely brings a new element to video gaming.
Crash Team Racing + Alchohol= A whole lot of awesome.

It's spelt "Wine" by the way.

 

[Josdeb]

I'm with you Hoxton. I don't see the appeal in drinking at all.

If you drink, I'm fine with that, I'm not gonna change your mind, it's your choice. I just don't wanna risk it

 

[Hoxton]

Thnx ;P

Yeah i'm okay with alcohol, so why not crash team racing and tequilla?

 

[Amnestic]

Whine with Honey or Sweet whines or cocktails.

I take my wine with a side of misspellings! ;D

Edit: Ninja'd by an Iron Ninja. That's what I get for listening to my father blather on about glossy paper for 5 minutes.

Beer's tasty to a lot of people, or at least not bad enough to warrant not drinking, so I can only assume that what is "the fuck up with all the beer drinking" is that people enjoy it.

My point is not the drinking itself, it's just there are alot more tasty alcohol drinks out there..

 

[CrafterMan]

I drink beer. I love it. What is up with the beer drinking? I work 50 hour weeks and nothing beats a cold beer at the end of my day.. and of course conversing with fellow escapists.

 

[Typecast]

Tequila is the devil's liquid piss in a bottle, avoid it at all costs.

Perhaps, but it comes in many variety, is often cheap and readily available, and if you're a man you won't get your penis insulted if you order a beer. If you start the night by asking for mixers, the burly barman will start calling you "Precious" and asking you how fabulous you are.

Not that I'm insinuating that it's gay or feminine to drink mixers, it's just how a lot of people percieve it.

Whiskey then! or Vodka or Absynthe(lol) or Whiskey+Vodka+Absynthe

So you drink beer in clubs too?
Just not to get insulted or looked at the wrong way?

I don't go to clubs, the whole "HEY. HEY CAN YOU HEAR ANYTHING OVER THE MUSIC? NO? TOO BAD!" scene really doesn't rub well with me. No, I go to pubs. I sit at a table, cold glass of British countryside ale in my left hand, possibly some sort of snack or pub food within reach of my right, chatting with friends and generally socialising. Sure, clubs can be fun and they're probably a better way to pick up girls than pubs, but I love to just sit back and enjoy an evening chatting with friends and generally just laughing it up without having to exhaust myself dancing for no reason other than...to dance.

 

[DannyDamage]

I don't really drink, bit of whiskey at the odd bi-monthly party/gathering.

In moderation beer is fine. Just make sure you behave yourself and what you do doesn't effect anyone else. Too many people think drinking makes them cool and tough (not just the young ones that have just started), idiots.

To be fair, I never realised there was a commotion.

 

[Hoxton]

well think about it it's almost a cultural phenomenon, men watch football and drink beer, gather in pubs and drink beer, watch TV and drink beer, we are showed as hairy beasts that sit around all day and dring beer exessively.

Eh, it's just a stereotype. It's something to put in a character's hand when they're doing something to make them appear more "human" and flesh them out a bit. "What do you mean *x character* has no depth? He drinks beer!" As I said, it's a cheap, readily available alcholic drink which a lot of men quite enjoy. Anything beyond that is a stereotype because of that. Good or bad? Eh, who knows, but that's what it is. I've never really had an issue with it. Possibly because I do gather in pubs, watch TV and sit around all day. Admittedly I only do the first two with beer, but hey, 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

How old are you? as you might find your taste's change when you get older and you enjoy the more bitter taste of beer. When i was 16 i hated the taste of beer and loved the alcopops but now i find them far to sickly sweet and love a strong cold lager on a summers day. And Probably when i am older still i will enjoy bitters as well.

I prefer beer over most types of alcohol. With beer I know excactly when I have got enough so that I don't get too wasted and it is cheaper (although that is not my main reason). Besides that I prefer the taste of beer over some mixture where the alcohol cannot be tasted. If I drink alcohol other than beer it is most often in a non-mixed drink, e.g. Whisky, Rum. If mixed it is mostly a White Russian or cheap whisky and cola.

Corporate_Gamer: Lager = Fizzy pop, maybe your tastes will change when you get older
