Alcohol... the cause and solution to all our problems.

[Aesop Rocks]

I really do want a drink now. Not to get wasted, but damn, you know? A nice cold brew sounds damned wonderful.

 

[Prison Mike]

beer does a body good

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Anything that's not Coors, Budlight, Budweiser, Natty Light, Keystone Light, or just bad-tasting water, I'll be down for it.

 

[Prison Mike]

Budweiser isn't bad...if you're on a budget.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Budweiser is ALWAYS bad.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

If I have no/little money, I'd rather just not drink

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

If my friends have to choose between beer and decent food, they'll always choose beer and live off ramen noodles and poptarts for a week. I can't do that. Good grub will always be a higher priority for me.

Budweiser isn't bad...if you're on a budget.

When I was on a budget, my drink was 40oz. Steele Reserve. They're like $3 each. Nasty, but gets the job done

Budweiser is ALWAYS bad.

Bud was my first drink when I was a wee lad. My dad let me taste his beer.

Drink your cares away.

My 40oz of choice in college was Mickey's

Once we had a "painting party" to repaint my Mom's kitchen. I brought a bottle of Kirsberry along. I managed to finish it off, splitting it with one of my sisters, but by the time it was gone I was painting my brother-in-law's backside.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I go back and forth on the drink. Sometimes I can taste the alcohol so strongly and I hate it, and just kind of sip it till its gone, but sometimes I can't taste it at all, and can put back a good number before anything really starts to hit me.

 

[steintym]

Miller Lite or Captain for me ... Nothing but the best

 

[tzarinna]

True story: Me and a few friends were down in Cancun at the local Carlos and Charlies where they decided to have a drinking contest. Instantly my friends and I were pumped, until we read the last line of the rules: No one from Wisconsin was allowed in their drinking games. So we stood behind the contestants and made fools out of every last one.
Any home brewers here? I'm an amateur, working on an Irish Stout right now.

Not beer, but wine. I have all the fixin's. I was suppose to make it for Christmas and give it out but my timing was off and I never got around to it. I still haven't decided on a name to print on the labels.

 

[Marvolo]

Yuengling on draft is my go to beer. At home, its Red Stripe when it is available. When it isn't I go for Heinekin, Heinekin Light, Coors Light, Miller Light, or Bud Light.

I'm not picky, though. I'll try new beers, and there are very few beers I will not drink.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

Y'know, there are still a couple of folk on here starting to make out that I am some kind of out of control drunken alcoholic, or at least will go back to being that way.
All they are doing is revealing themselves to be getting desperate with the character assassinations, and are actually scared of me now, haha.

anyway, maybe it's about time i spoke about this.

Now, I had a serious psychological problems with body dysmorphia, sometimes when I had to leave the house I found it impossible due to mindpain, and I would go get a drink to sort that out, I also suffered from depression cause of that, couldn't bear the mindpain and drank to drown that out too.

It was never my 'drug of choice', if i had enough money for marajuana, I'd spend it on that over booze every time, it's just that mj is more difficult to get ahold of.
And of course, booze kills mind pain, so I'd sometimes combine the two, but for the main, I always wanted to get off it, and would stick to smoking as much as i could.

Now, when I got off the booze, I chose to do it, why? Because I got over the body dysmorphia, once that was out of my mind, I did not feel the need to drink in public or in private because the mind pain had gone.
You get that bozos? I *chose* to quit drinking, that was *before* I started my job which I have nowadays, that dictates that I can't drink at all.

I have only slipped twice in the last three and a half years, the first time i don't count cause i had an asthma type attack, could not breathe, and the booze sorted that out, that was a real bad one. I wouldn't do that agaian though, i'd try and wait it out, was maybe too hasty that time.

Second time, extreme mind pain, breaking point, i snapped, being pushed too far for too long, metally and physically.

I am actually a very strong person, it's just, well, I have a lot of enemies who like to try and make out that i am weak, they either have no idea what I'm going through, or don't care, bit of both in most cases.

anyway, I am looking forward to a life without hangovers in the future.

When my job is over I'm gonna stick to a bit of a nighttime smoke of mj without overdoing it, ie not every night, not all the time, and will drink when i'm at parties or social occasions. The reason? Cause I like myself, and I like being sober, i don't want to lose touch with myself ever again. The thought of going to the pub a couple of times a week disgusts me now, and i wouldn't want to be smoking as much as I used to either.

the last time I got drunk hammered home how crap a drug it is, the high doesn't last long really, you have to keep drinking, you do yourself in physically, can more easily make a fool of yourself, killer hangover in the morning...forget about it.

also, in case anyone else is gonna start defaming my name in other ways, trying to say i get into fights..eh, I have never started a fight in my life, mayeb one time when I was a child at school, but it was not anything serious, just kid's stuff.
I don't get into all that physical carrying on fight crap even when drunk, a couple of my friends were like that and i didn't like it, that was always boring to me, I am more into talking with people when high and socialising.
the only reason i get into arguments on the net is because I have *so many* people gunning for me, so it's gonna happen sometimes when i defend myslef from a partiularly bad attack on my character.

anyway, these folk know who i am talking about, and i laugh and scoff at your weak and feeble attempts to wind me up or defame my name.

i'm feelin real good right now, sorry to disapoint you all, I'm not miserable, I know what I'm gonna do, what i have to do, getting myself more in focus, building up my stamina, getting ready.

everything is going to be a walk in the park after the health problems i have been suffering from the last two years. My enemies feel like ghosts i can easily walk right through now.

tl;dr

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Once again

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I tried brandy for the first time yesterday. It felt like a strange combination of wine and whiskey.

 

[Lasirius]

If my friends have to choose between beer and decent food, they'll always choose beer and live off ramen noodles and poptarts for a week. I can't do that. Good grub will always be a higher priority for me.

There's no need in having beer if there's no good food around to keep it company.

 

[Duke]

I don't drink too much, usually on special occasions & festive days. I will drink while out with friends though.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I've never drank alcohol (of any sort) but I'm debating on trying wine. I have an irrational hatred of alcohol due to being raised by an alcoholic and seeing it destroy my family. I've vowed to never touch the stuff and joining a penticostal church in my mid-teens furthered that vow. I go to a differant sort of church now that doesn't condemn alcohol (as long as it isn't used to get drunk... which is a Biblical stance) and I've been thinking about how much my hatred of my former stepfather's lifestyle has hindered me... and I'm not talking about some stupid partying thing, I mean the judgemental way I perceived people who do drink.

I'll never drink beer... I just have no desire to. I have no desire to get drunk or to even get buzzed. I can't stand seeing other people like that and (not to sound superior) but I'm better than that. But I've been curious about trying some wine and my wife agrees (who also has never drank alcohol in her life). I don't know when we'll do it but we've been talking about it lately... maybe we'll try a bottle with our next paycheck.

Any suggestions of a type of wine that won't get me drunk with a glass? I know nothing about anything alcoholic and have no idea what to even try.

 

[Anubis]

Red Wine.

It's good for your heart, and when you vomit it up it looks like blood.....which is cool.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

yeah, it would take a really intense wine to get you drunk after one glass. But I think in general white wine has a lower alcohol content than red. Like 'Nubs said, though, red is really good for your heart in moderation. You can get some really cheap cabernets and merlots at any grocery store.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Less alcohol would likely be good for us for now so white wine is promising. What's cabernets and merlots like? I've never heard of them.
