Do you drink alcoholic beverages and why?

Many taste good. Also has quite the fun factor......

[QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"]yes, and for the breakthrough of the day: because its fun.conistant

1. I like the taste. Especially an ice-cold beer on a hot day, or a good scotch straight up on some ice.
2. It works well as a social lubricant (I am a 1-on-1 conversationalist, and get nervous and become a listener in large crowds when I'm sober).
3. It is fun to drink with friends and get inebriated (not drunk, I only feel really bad the next day after getting really drunk).

Ah another person like me. I've found that even one drink can make my more confident about speaking to complete strangers. Works well at parties when you dont know many people.

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="xhellcatx"] I dont really do much when i get that way. Just drink. And talk about whatever my friends are talking about, and state random facts that arent true. xhellcatx

I like the taste of some alcohols and everything seems quite funny to me when I'm drunk/ tipsy, so it is quite enjoyable for me. I also loosen up quite a bit and talk much more. I dont get drunk very often though, and I only would at a house party.

No, because I'm a ****ing loser.McJugga

Alcohol can exaggerate the mood you were in before you started to drink - so if you are depressed or anxious, alcohol can make these feelings worse.

Yes, I drink. Love it.

No, I do not drink. But not because I don't want to, but because it conflicts with medications I have to take. :(

I don't now but that is a personal choice.

I did in the past and I enjoy the taste of some alchoholic beverages.

I do not feel there is anything intrinsically wrong with some in moderation.

just as with anything else the keyword is moderation. It is too much drinking that makes people act silly or ridiculous.

I'm neither of legal age nor do I have any interest in drinking. I have to admit some beer tastes alright but it pales in comparison to water and ice cold Mountain Dew. I have obviously not drunk a wide array of beer (pretty much only sips I was allowed as a child), but I don't understand why I would opt for something inferior. It doesn't have many aesthetic qualities to it in my opinion and I don't believe in drinking socially so it really doesn't pique my interest at all.

Yes. I do it because its habitual at this point. The only time i enjoy it anymore is when im already in a good state of mind. I am the absolute opposite of a social drinker. When im out around other people its easier for me to enjoy myself if im sober. The only time i drink is when im at home by myself.

I do not drink.Its got to do with my religious beliefs and because my grandfather died from liver cancer.

conistant

Your grandfarther die from drinking? you can get liver cancer from something else too, you know....

Anyway, I drink sometimes bcuz I like it, taste good and it's good for you as long as not too much. it's better than soda, IMO.

I do but not as much as much as I used to. It's great having a beer after a hard day's work.

[QUOTE="sboyer2"][QUOTE="T_REX305"]

NO WHY? because im underage

flordeceres

enlighten me on the stupidity of his decision, i can't seem to pinpoint it.

i thought i was the smart thing to do. my friend was at a party with lots of beer and when the cops came they unleashed the dogs. my friend got tanked by the dog.

No i'm only 14 which is underage obviously. But I will drink on occasion when I get older

yep I do it for the feeling and because I tend to be a bit more outgoing.

also I do like milk. I even like milk with alcohol in it.

Hell YEAH. I love getting drunk and having a good time. Its great to just have some drinks and be around friends. Like many people it loosens me up and I and others can just have a good time.

I usually never get completed hammered where I have a hang-over the next day but I do drink to get tipsy, especially @ the club.

Yeah. I like matching different beverages to my food. Sometimes I like to get a buzz.

Everytime this issue comes up, there's always a few judgemental, presumptuous people, like this:

Underage and I also just find them pointless and stupid. If you need to be drunk to have a good time, you must really have a sucky life Darth-Caedus

Gee, if people have fun a different way than you, there must be something wrong with them. :roll:

Yeah I do, because it gets me drunk... and I feel great when I'm drunk.

As a tangent for the people who do drink, do you ever feel like smoking when drinking? I may be biased because I was smoker when I started college, then quit, but now whenever I get pretty tipsy (like after 5 or more drinks) I REALLY want a smoke. Anyone else? The buzz of the two combined is incredibly awesome.

*I'm referring to tobacco, not marijuana.

No, and have no desire to. Why would I want to mentally incapacitate myself? I can have a lot of fun without drinking.

Yes. I never smoke unless I'm drinking at a pub. I don't know why but it just fits well with the atmosphere.

Atheos-Arkhaios

Yeah I get that... only after like you said more than 5 drinks, they just taste awesome and give a real buzz coupled with the alcohol. And here in the UK the smoking ban pretty much guarantees everyone outside who is smoking is most likely drunk so there is a social buzz that comes with it too.

Oh, sorry to hear. yeah, just don't drink too much, and you will be fine.... my brother died of liver cancer too, and he never drank. I think he died from his work the job he had.

I drink these beverages, but only in a party. I drink these beverages for some fun, but I still will drink only a little.
