discussion What's your take on alcohol?

[Deleted member 268286]

What do you guys think about alcohol? Do you drink? Are you against it?

Personally, I only drink when I go out with friends and stuff like that. I’ve never drunk alone, but it’s not something I’d rule out.

Alcohol has to be one of the most common things nowadays and since forever. I think it’s because it has been with us for a very long time throughout history.

Drank alot when I was young, got drunk when I was 10 from that Jewish Manischewitz grape wine they gave us at Synagogue.
My parents had a wet bar in our home my entire life and allowed me to drink so long as it was at home and they were aware. They knew as a teen I'd find a way to do it and they preferred I do it in safety and not ever drink and drive (They were right)
I think I consumed a lifetime of Liquor before I was 25, after that Beer and dark Liquors started to make me sick (within 20 min of drinking went straight to hangover/sick and skipped all the fun parts)
Few years later all alcohol was doing it so I stopped Drinking entirely. Sadly I tried to do it again as I hit my 50's but with my medical conditions I cannot drink at all.
Tried weed again and alas Im alergic to that now so generally No alcohol no weed for me ever again. Only way I get any escape is through fantasy, food or sex.
Lucky for me I found a young woman who loves intamacy and that I am not allergic too
When my junk stops working I'll be ready to die

Just like most things in life, it's okay in moderation. Or as a hobby... collecting and trying out aged whiskey for example.
Not as cool or as okay if it's an addiction.

 

[SilentHunter]

In general, I have a positive attitude, but I don't like strong drinks (vodka, whiskey, etc.). I like dry red wines for meat dishes and beer for all occasions.

I really like drinking with other people, never alone. But I get really wasted every time I try.

Getting drunk at 10 is crazy hahaha. But yeah, they were right, though. As a teen, you always found a way to get drinks with your friends.

Manischewitz is a sweet, kosher fruit wine with an alcohol content of 11% ABV (alcohol by volume) for standard varieties like Concord Grape. That shit was sweet and addictive I had zero idea it was that potent, what kid dont like cold grape juice heheh

 

[ChibbenFards]

Love a good stout. Used to get white girl wasted, but I'm over all that now, but still enjoy a dark beer from time to time.

 

[kjq]

Love it.
First drink at 10/11 and first time really fucked up at 14. I drunk almost every weekend until 17-18. Now its only beer after good working day and wine with meat.
Last time i was fucked up i forgot im old now.. the next morning was hell.

 

[Gashly]

It makes you head hurts.

 

[SiimonBaz]

It's been over-demonized by younger generations who are extremely afraid of being caught looking ridiculous on camera.

I use it for the purpose it's always served... as a social lubricant .
which helps make situations tolerable that would otherwise leave you socially isolated.

 

[cbarnes1551]

I haven't been drunk in years and my last drink was new years. I would be more into it but my favorite brewery stopped their growler special.

I used to get a 32oz growler, handful of weed, and play overwatch 1 all night. Good times.

I drink occasionally, mostly in small portions. A hangover usually isn't worth it.

 

[log26]

Depends on the kind. I prefer the wines and fruity mixes as opposed to beers and whiskeys. As for frequency, I keep my drinks to roughly once a month, just to protect the liver.

 

[idunnomydude]

Used to drink a ton, just gave it up. More trouble than what it's worth.

 

[Nikx]

I wish we'd treat it as we treat other drugs, abusing it has horrible effects not only for the user - and there's no safe level of consumption - but for society as a whole.

Maybe in moderation? Sure, but that could also apply to many other non-addictive drugs, many that take a much smaller toll on our bodies.

 

[numiam]

I don't mind alcohol and I'll drink most things aside from beer (I just don't like the taste). I've drank alone but I usually only drink with others/friends

 

[samumal82]

I am fine with alcohol, I usually just drink on Friday or Saturday tough. I don't wake up well if I drink alcohol the day before; it makes my week day less productive, so I usually avoid it.
