Drinking

[Fusion X. Denver]

Last night, my family partied for a while until 3 in the morning and by the end of it, our entire sink was filled with empty beer bottles.
My cousin was able to knock back 8 alone and I was just amazed how they can all do that. Though that's mostly because I don't like beer too much; I'm more of a red wine guy.

Does anybody here drink alcohol? And do you have any sort of stance on underage drinking, or not so much?

[b][color=#daa520][font=georgia, serif]I don't drink alcohol and will never drink simply because of the influence my brother and father have made on me from their drinking. They act like complete idiots and it really embarrasses me when I'm around them once they've drunk too much. I'm also worried that I'll become addicted to it if I have just one drink.[/font][/color][/b]

[b]Beer [/b]= I love the taste of cold piss.
[b]Vodka + Fizzy beverage[/b] = I just want to get drunk.
[b]Red Wine[/b] = I [i]swear[/i] I'm classy.

[BehindTheMask]

its ok.

Been a while since I've done it. but I usually drink Vodka.

Under-age drinking - for it. putting a taboo on it only makes it more appealing.

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

I can drink legally, and so I have gone to the bar occasionally. However, to say I drink regularly is laughable. I might drink 3 times in a year total, and never to excess.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with calm social drinking, whether that is beer or rum or vodka or something stronger. However, doing stupid stuff while inebriated is just that, stupid.

As for what I drink, I hate most beer and I like rum and orange juice and the occasional shot of whiskey.

I'd say to stay away from alcohol when you're young due to health reasons.

I'm planning on waiting until I'm 21, mainly because I'm terrified of any remote possibility of getting caught doing anything illegal, and even then I'm going to try to be very careful.

Whenever we "randomly" decide to go gambling(its just for fun, really), I always get a mamosa(w/e).
Though, as far as actual [i]drinks[/i] go~ I'm more of a champagne person, really...

[Yang Xiao-Long]

I'm 19, so I'm technically underage.
Even so, when I turn 21, I won't drink any alchohol. The smell from the bottle is enough to deter me from drinking any to begin with.

£1 a can. Yay for random Polish beers. I shall be enjoying a fair few of these on new year's eve, oh yes~

[Miror B]

I might have some wine during those holiday times or for religious purposes. Otherwise no purely because my dad gave me some at a young age and I hated the taste.

[Shradow]

I'm only 18, so I just watch other drunk people, and it's hilarious.

There was this one time when I was 3, there was some sort of drink in a glass on the counter. I thought it was apple juice so I took a swig, but it obviously wasn't apple juice so I immediately made a spit take.

[Great Unclean One: VK]

To be honest, it's a family tradition to drink. Namely beer.

Been 2 years since I had a beer. Back when I wasn't this much of a dick/troll/tryhard on YCM.

[The Amazing Avian]

I've only ever drank wine and Tequila. Tequila gives a hell of a hangover.

[DARKPLANT RISING]

I don't think I can drink beer because I can't drink soda. Pepsi, coke, those sorta things are revolting to me. Yeah, I know the way they pop and jump in your mouth feels good for some people, but I've hated the feeling since the first time I've drank it.

I haven't drank beer yet, and since they say it has the same popping-in-your-mouth, I'll probably never.

[D.A._Sakuyamon]

I'v had a few forms of alcohol throughout the 22 1/2 years of my life. They'v all just been okay. Much like cigs, I'll take them when offered but I wont actively seek them.

I am the exact same way, I can't stand carbonation. Root beer would be my favorite drink if it didn't sizzle all the damn time.

And Night's right, beer's basically carbonated piss, most drinkers need to get used to the taste of beer to properly enjoy it.

... I never thought this was possible...
What is this world coming to?
But, on topic, I have yet to drink. The Army stole my 21 Birthday from me, and the most of the money I made the last several months has gone toward getting my Cadillac repaired. Once that happened, it was time to take my little trip across the ocean. But, I have no problems with people drinking. I personally don't wanna go out and get drunk, just because I've seen the health of my family members who do it. Not good.
And as for underage drinking... I'd say that as long as there's a responsible person there watching them to make sure they don't do anything stupid, I don't see the problem.

Try real ale - it's usually still or only lightly carbonated, far less so than lager and soda.

[Umbra]

I'm more of a social drinker than anything else. Family gatherings or if we go out with friends, sure, I'll have something to drink. Other than that, nah. There are better-tasting things in this world.

Dunno, might try it when I can. Thanks.

[Sander]

Rarely, sometimes a can of gin for the hell of it, but usually, I only drink when I'm out in some social thing.

Am I the only Straight Edge person in this thread? I literally only actually follow the most important rules though: refraining from using alcohol, tobacco, and other recreational drugs.

[Wizarus]

I don't drink, I've seen what drunk people look like first-hand and it isn't pretty. Eyes turn red, their breath starts to stink, they start talking about random s***, and keep on saying the same thing they said like 2 minutes ago. Even the smell in the room was enough for me to be repulsed.

How is not killing people less important than not using alcohol?

Also, drinking is not the same as getting plastered. Learn self control, its not that hard.

I swear I'm classy.
