Do you drink C2h5oh?

What percent of basil drinks? Personally, I drink whenever I go out with my friends. I've noticed that it doesn't really affect my grades and other aspects of my life so I have no problem with it. If you don't drink, why not?

I'm a major fan of margaritas and Malibu Bay Breezes.

I don't drink, but that's because I have absolutely no access to alcohol.
If I did have access to it, I'd drink casually but not to the point where I'd get drunk. I got drunk once in Europe and figured out why no one in my family drinks. ._.

Weed is my drug of choice.

[quote=SonsOfAnarchy]Eh, a 2-4 in Canada is about $40.

People say cigarettes are expensive.. I smoke and drink and I spend way more on alcohol than on cigs.

@ClementZ So you only do stuff if there's health benefits? Why would you go on a roller coaster or to the zoo then?[/quote]

No. My point was, alcohol does absolutely nothing for me.
Why the hell would I consume it?

Yes, in moderation. However, you seem to be promoting drinking for the sole purpose of getting drunk.

That is NOT beneficial.

Roller Coasters are an adrenaline rush, helpful to your heart.
Going to the zoo usually means walking around a lot/cardio. Also, learning about animals sometimes.

Both of those are beneficial, alcohol is not.

When I go to clubs, my older friends buy the shots for me.

Every time I'm swamped with a ton of homework, I'll usually grab some alcoholic drinks from the fridge and go. I like to drink my homework away.
The hw gets done 100% of the time.

I don't drink because my peers have never offered me any.
Tried some in China and it was gross. I'll stick to my water and juice.

[quote=SonsOfAnarchy]Dude um, most people, especially young people, don't drink alcohol for the taste lol.

@Nashi So in other words you are extremely biased and are generalizing billions of people based on your dad. Okay.

@Clementz It tastes bad to anyone who hasn't acquired the taste for it.

@Grimmy24 Then you didn't drink enough.[/quote]

I'm well aware of that.
But, as if it provides no health benefit, and tastes putrid, I have no reason to continue drinking it to "acquire the taste."

@Lancaster: $20 for a case of beer? In Canada?
LOL.

I've had drinks before, on multiple occasions. I even found a preference in drinks.
But, I never go out with the intention of drinking. It's just something that happens to be there when I arrive.

Stimulants and Depressants don't have much of an effect on me, so I've never really had a buzz of any kind.

Also, I don't like the taste of alcohol.

I drink when I'm out on a special occasion with friends. I don't like the taste of alcohol at all and also am a lightweight.

My uncle has recently gotten a liver transplant because of liver damage caused by alcohol. Now he has to take immunosuppressants for the rest of his life. He is also now at higher risk to catch infections or diseases, so yea drink in moderation but don't go overboard.

[quote=yumtoast154]Alcohol is expensive.
People do crazy crap when they're drunk.
Idiots (which is practically everyone) don't know how to drink responsibly.
Underage drinking is illegal and is proven to inhibit your development.
Drinking does not make you cool.[/quote]
also gotta add that in the long run alcohol can change (deteriorate) one's personality.
And they don't know how to have fun clean so they can't enjoy life at its fullest and at full consciousness at least that's how I see it.
It's stupid and immature to drink problems "away" instead of facing them, learning to solve them and improve their life quality by learning how to overcome obstacles more easily.

Oh gawd.. I just said I was repeating what YOU said (you referred to it as ear-piercings and with that in my "ear" still I wrote the response so I automatically wrote ear piercing without thinking (again, English is not my native language. Also, it's 2:50am for me, I'm far too lazy to write everything gramatically correct and watch over logic.)
Again, and I quote myself:

what do you want me to call it? "ear holes" (translated from my language)?
And you should be able to understand what I was trying to say in the first place.

@HDTVmerch: ear piercings ain't piercings to me actually, I have those myself. *shrug* I've had it since I was a lil child basically so I never wasted a thought.

and hello? Sex out of love, of course. Gawd people are so ignorant of emotions/deep relationships nowadays

It's okay in moderation and as long as you don't get hooked on it. I remember in high school, we had to do an intervention on one of our friends in our sophomore year because he was somewhat depressed (not clinically) and drank often even when we weren't partying. That event always reminds me to not get poopfaced.

@RugbyBall: o.O druggies, people that have sex for "fun" or screw around with many people (and especially those that don't care about others emotions about it), criminals, emos (the kind that makes it obvious), foreigners that only go to a country to get free money (basically live off the government), people with tattoos/piercings (blame my dad/childhood ), really really really really dumb/ignorant people (e.g. it's freaking irritating when at work we're already under pressure cause we have to work fast and then the person just stands there or messes things up and I don't only gotta do TWICE the work but also repeat things repeatedly, then yell it to them and still live with no effect and still have them mess up. GARGH. SHOOT THEM. IN NATURE THEY WOULDN'T SURVIVE EITHER!)

Dunno can't think of more but I'm a hater I guess lol. (and I gotta say I don't even have control over the "emotional" reaction to people I disrespect even when I logically know I'm going too far with it lol. It's like the reaction people have when they see something that disgusts them (spiders for example ).
I'm not scared but i'm "disgusted" if you wanna say so lol

I feel like it's a lot easier to not drink in high school, but in college, when everyone is doing it, you kind of do it too... Like on St.Patty's day, who in their right mind stays in for the night? All the dorms are empty because everyone goes downtown. Same thing on weekends after huge exams and thirsty thursdays...

I don't drink and have no respect for those that excessively do.
If anyone feels offended tough luck, it's my honest opinion and I ain't gonna hold back lol

My "dad" (who I've only met less than 10 times in my life and who moved out of the country so he wouldn't have to pay child support) drinks, does drugs, smokes and has tattoos and all that. So all of those things are, to me, what losers do lol.

no I don't drink. but it bothers me when the people in my school flagrantly exclaim how they're going to go get f'd up. it doesn't bother me as long as you're smart about it, unlike the guys that drank hand sanitizer.
