Alchohol

I wanna ask what kind of relationship people have towards it, and what the society you live in relate to it. I myself don't drink, and i am tired of people forcing me to drink. I have nothing against people having a good time with alchohol, but it just isn't for me

I like to drink socially. I sometimes have a beer with dinner or something. I really do love beer haha. But I don't drink all that much as I like to keep healthy. Anyway, alcohol is good.

I´m danish. My relationship to alcohol is by cultural predefinition hedonistic to say the least.

As a raging alchoholic, I love the stuff. Well they ask me why I am drunk all the time. It levels my head and eases my mind. I just walk along and stroll and sing. I see better days and do better things. Like catch dinosaurs. Ya know what I mean.

Wow, people are forcing you to drink? Isn't forcing people to do things against their will a crime in your country?

do any of you force anyone to drink?The_Last_Ride

No, i´m not that psychopathic.

I love beer. I make beer. Beer is a science and an art, just like cooking. Its one of the few things I hold dear in this world

I'm not 21 yet, so I haven't drank at all.

Even if I were 21, though, I don't see myself caring about beer that much. I might drink it at special occasions, like parties or whatever, but probably not on a daily basis.

here tc. sit down, have a scotch and tell me your problems. let's see if we can figure out why you don't like to drink when all your peers are doing it. here have another...no, no I insist it's on my tab so don't feel guilty. so you say that your just not that into drinking huh? well after you finish your second scotch we will look into your past and try to uncover why this may be. your father used to drink heavily...that's a shame. you lost a loved one to a dui accident. well i really feel bad for you. maybe you shouldn't be drinking then. how about one more before you hit the road. now i feel that we have a better understanding on why your against drinking, but next week we will need to figure out why your so susceptible to peer pressure:P

I drink occasionally, once every two months maybe. I don't really mind alcohol, but the drunks you see downtown can be a little annoying. The worst thing about my country is that we finance their drinking. :P

The U.S. is funny when it comes to alcohol. I was in Los Angeles last summer and we went to a restaurant. When I eat out I like to drink a beer or two. So I order a beer along with the food and the waitress wants to see my ID. I hand it to her and she says "Oh, sorry you can't have a beer". Then I remember that the age restriction is 21 years.

I make a remark to my sister's boyfriend who is American since we discuss the gun laws sometimes. "So I can own a shotgun, but I can't have a beer?"

He says: "Yeah, welcome to America" I laughed a little

The next day we go to a shooting range and shoot some guns. A lot of fun.

My point is that a lot of Americans frown upon alcohol and have a higher age restriction on that than on weapons, which I find a little funny. :D However, alcohol does impair your judgement and should be handled responsibly.

I'm not an alcoholic, I just love to get drunk. I drink about 3 or 4 times a month to get drunk, and very often I'll just have a beer (typically while watching football, hockey or UFC).

i use to not drink and never wanted too but then i turned 21 and decided i would try it to see what it was like. BAM its so fun wow. I drink it every weekend its really fun. If i had not started to drink i would not have made the new 12 friends ive made from parties or had near as many hook ups from parties aswell. good stuff drink up u wont regret it.

if u dnt wanna be hungover hears the secret : http://thewineguyblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-not-be-hung-over.html

i used to go out and get "wasted" every weekend drinking stupid amounts of Vodka(or if i was tight in money for the week,Beer) , after a few years of basically doing that i realised what a waste of time and money it has been. and haven't got drunk or felt like drinking in about 6 months. it just stopped one day :P

i wouldn't ever have said i had a problem, since i wasn't addicted and only ever drank on weekends, but there really wasn't anything else to do other than go to the pub with my mates... (where im from anyway, small city's ftl)

I seriously don't believe nobody caught my first post. Nobody must read my posts at all... I am sad:cry:

On topic, alchohol has been around for thousands of years, and people love to drink. I don't see anything wrong with it as long you can keep it under control.

read my post and i'll read yours;)

Well over here, wine is quite popular. But I dont like the taste of it at all. In fact I dont like the taste of many popular drinks: beer, vodka, whisky, wine etc

I prefer sweet drinks.

But even so, I rarely drink because I just dont "crave" to drink.

Your joking right? There is a big differnece between owning another human being and having a drink. That is completely ridiculous.

Clue: Its a reference to something awesome.

I don't care if people read my posts most of the time, but I thought that one was clever, and I thought someone might catch it... or at least noticed it rhymes.

Well when you put it that way... I don't know how you turned this around on me, but you did. I am pwned.

I generally have a beer or two a day. Love it. :)

I never understood this. Do you get drunk, or just like the taste. I really don't like the taste of alchohol, although I drink a lot.

Actually, I guess you are the smart one, not always drinking to get hammered.

I'm Irish, and I grew up with my dad making me taste test his home-brewed beer, and my mom urging to drink at least a glass of wine everyday. That began when I was in about 5th grade and continues into the present, so yeah...

I'm all about getting hammered with some good friends. I'm 27, and I doubt my drinking habits will ever change.

I love beer, but I've never been drunk, and don't intend to get drunk either.

Never drank it and I never plan to drink it in the future, let alone get drunk.

I have no respect for people who get drunk.

No, I wouldn't. I would never be friends with people, or want to be friends with people like that.
