Do you drink alcoholic beverages and why?

[QUOTE="Atheos-Arkhaios"]

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.

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

If your grandfather had died in a car accident, would still drive/ride in cars?

I laughed at this for some reason, I have a weird sense of humour I suppose.

On topic.. I don't drink, I've tried it before (many times and many brands) but I never really liked.. plus it costs more than a coke.

I'll have a bottle of beer every now and then...

Maybe once or twicea week. Nothing too crazy.

It tastes yummy :)

It's alcohol, not beverage.

I would still drive cars but cars don't mess up your liver.I had to watch my grandfather suffer alot before he died so I decided I would never drink alcohol.

Life is supposed to be enjoyed. Leisure drugs are fine as long as they don't disrupt your perceived "quality of life". I am a functional alcoholic. The only time I am dysfunctional is when I am on GS, which is devoid of real-world consequences, so it is ideal.

There are many legal psychoactive drugs out there; caffeine, ethanol, nicotine, theobromine, and theophylline being the most common. The term "legal" simply implies that said drug is socially acceptable in the society in which you preside. It does not imply that taking any drug for leisure purposes is morally right or wrong, it simply implies that such a drug is tolerated in your society.

Those drugs that are illegal in your geographical locale may be legal elsewhere. Oftentimes when a drug is illegal, it is due to historical religious or political reasons, not because it should practically be outlawed. Take cannabis for instance. Enjoy it in some parts, have your life destroyed and be locked up for years in others for selling it. There is no justice, only regional popular opinion, the capitalist engine, and bogus religion-induced morality that determines your fate. Black market goods are outlawed because they are not controlled by the regional capitalist economy, not because they are necessarily or inherently harmful to the consumer.

i think what he meant was this. you were doing it wrong. binge drinking and getting wasted are always gonna turn up bad results. responsible drinking and drinking in moderation can achieve a pleasent feeling without hangovers, nausea, alcohol poisoning etc.

the following isnt directed at you. to many kids dont get that drinking till you puke, feel sick or pass out isnt what its about.

I drink alcohol to unwind and usually when hanging out with friends. Moderation is the key because low amounts of certain alcohol has been found to have a benefit to health long term.

I drink it to be sociable and because it tastes gooood
