it's still weird to me to see this polarity between absitence and drinking enough to get drunk, however lightly. it's like there's no realization at all of the concept of just a single pint, to taste, to savour, to enjoy, to refresh, with drunkenness being nowhere in the equation. Cos I do that a lot, probably almost every day.

The taste is why I enjoy american thanksgiving and christmas. *lusts over mead.* I hate being even slightly entoxicated. Merry is one thing, but going into drunkvision is another. The family took a vacation to Italy when I was 13. I liked the wine, but was careful to make sure that I didn't take too much.

Ethanol is the product of millions of yeast pissing themselves and dying in their own excrement. That said, it makes sense how people behave while under the influence.

I personally enjoy other psychoactives, but will occasionally imbibe if the mood is right.

I used to drink beer more often as a social lubricant, now I occasionally drink red wine. Alcohol isn't that great of a drug, as far as recreational drugs go.

I like alcohol. It can numb down my thinking when I'm overanalysing. Put me to rest when I'm restless. Lift me up when I'm down.

However, drinking too much is making me overanalyse even more, makes the entire world go round me and depresses me. Therefore I am careful not to drink too much.

Not a huge fan of Alcohol myself. I enjoy getting smashed every once in awhile, but my preferences are geared towards other substances.

Women are the greatest mind altering entities known to men.

NT's what is your opinion on alcohol?

Never touched it - quite likely never will. Just not something that appeals to me even a little bit. It doesn't bother me if others drink (basically *all* of my friends do) as long as it's in moderation and nobody's getting drunk. In that case, I'll usually start looking for an excuse to go home, or at least restricting my socializing to others who aren't noticeably drunk. One thing that's quite nice about getting older is that people tend to do that sort of thing less :yes:.

I imagine that it would serve as an effective social lubricant for me (basic physiology) - which might at times even be worthwhile - but I can't stand the idea of doing (even minor) things that I would regret, especially in social situations - and let's face it, I'm not exactly at my best there anyway.

Last night was the first time I've drank for over a month. I was dragged to a birthday party and we ended up at a loud karaoke bar. Drinking was the only thing that kept me from panicking.

No offense, but I could never not try something at least once (obviously aside from extremely dangerous/stupid things).
