Alcohol

[Vaultin]

Do you drink? And what are your thoughts on alcohol use?

Socially? Addicted? Occasionally?


I choose not to drink because of my personal experience with my father's alcoholism, and my already poor ability to control my temper when sober. I fear that with lmited inhibitions, I might do or say something to someone I love that I can't take back and will regret forever.

I don't drink, I've only had alcohol once in my life and spit it out all over the table it tasted so bad =/, plus I don't like the idea of not being in control of myself.

Like smoking I find it skips generations. Children of heavy drinkers avoid alcohol and tea totalers kids drink heavily.

I might wish I came from moderate parents but mine didn’t drink so... I'll have another!

Well I have drank before. So i guess a little less than occasionally. I believe that in modertaion alcohol(just like other things) can be controlled and not allowed to get out of hand.

That being said i have been drunk enough were i have done some stuff i have regretted ounce. I told my older sister some stuff about me that i would have rather her not known and in a sober state of mind would have kept to myself.

Nam not always true.

My grandpa used to be an alcoholic when my dad was like from 4-14, and my dad still drinks =P.

Although it may be true in my case, if I ever adopt a child he may drink or not, but I sure as heck am not going to drink, or smoke, my dad smoked till I was like 4.

Well, beer(any kind) tastes absolutely horrid, but make me a cocktail and I'll down a few.

*shrugs* yeah ocasionally if its for events or while im in mexico visiting family =D
other than that no

 

[Pojo]

I've only had wine (Thanksgiving)...And a little bit of a wine cooler...

 

[Nam Repaid]

Nam not always true.

Agreed! With humans no behavior is truly predictable. I have seen the opposite extremes thing often enough to expect it but have seen traits go through several generations occasionally.

I used to have a problem where I barely would ever drink. Howerver, when I did drink, I drank beer endlessly to where I'd be chatty, vulgar, and flirty. I have been hit or miss with wine.

Anyone over 14 in my family has a [small] glass of champagne at weddings/christenings/communions, etc. I've been to quite a few.

At my cousin's sweet 16, though (2/08) I got pretty... tanked. Luckily that my aunt doesn't drink, and she lives a few blocks away, so I was alright xP

Any alcohol I'll generally drink except vodka or white wine. I'll only have a sniff or two of red wine.

I definitely don't drink to excess. I see it as a huge waste of money. You pay large sums of money to make yourself feel like shit. No thanks. In moderation though, you get that buzzing feeling and that's usually fun. Then again, I don't go out too much, so I really don't drink.

Occasionally I guess. I really need to watch myself around it - I only drink the hard stuff, and while I might go for weeks between a drink, a lot of times I find myself thinking about nothing else other than sitting back and having a few shots. I could definitely become a horrid alcoholic if I had the money for it, and if my parents weren't so vehemently against having alcohol in the house (even if they are semi-ok with me drinking it).

Funny story, first time I ever did go out to "have a drink" I ordered some vodka. I sat around for awhile, obviously not knowing yet how long it takes hard liquor to do anything to you, so I ordered a cuba libre (rum and coke). Waited awhile longer, not even feeling a buzz. Ordered another cuba libre. Nothing yet.

BAM. Hits me all at once .

I didn't get more than a bit tipsy but it was quite surprising how it all came in at me.

Later times though I did end up getting QUITE drink because I figured I could hold my liquor quite well since after waiting 40 minutes I wasn't feeling more than a tiny bit buzzed.

So yeah, watch yourself all you fellow drinkers out there .

Doesn't someone who has a problem not realize it? I bet that stays at 0. >.>

Erm.. I drink socially. It's not my favorite thing, I tend to get a bit, um, agressive, when I get drunk. Last time some guy wanted to sleep with me so I kicked him where the sun don't shine.

I don't mind a cooler here or there, but I don't like beer or wine.

 

[Allanon]

Actually I tend to siphon off the personality of whoever is drunk with me. If they are a really funny person, I laugh more and make more stupid jokes. If they are introspective and thoughtful, I get more introspective and thoughtful. If they are aggressive, I act like a chauvinistic asshole.

Maybe I'm some sort of emotional vampire =/.

rly? i dunno but im told i just laugh at everything and i seem to have better dance skills when im drunk other than that i will eat and pass out shortly after

 

[Unfused]

I do, whenever possible. Which isn't very often sadly...

 

[WildThing121675]

I LOVE an ice-cold Miller Lite at the bar and I love a High Life at home. But I have had to be careful with it. I am way too proud of what I've worked on in the past four years. Plus I do not want trouble with the local cops.

I am a drinker, yeah. I do like my beer. But I know when to say when.

Nope

 

[mizzycub]

I don't drink. I don't care if ethanol is meant to be tasteless, I am sure I can taste it. Whenever I have tried alcoholic drinks they have been disgusting, and I never want to do it again.
