Of course not, but when you go out to have a good time with friends why not? To each their own. It seems to lighten people up as well as work as a sort of confidence booster, to us it's a known as "liquid courage". >.>

Though, I am not for getting wasted. Ain't no time for dat.


Getting tipsy generally makes any social event more fun. It helps you get more loose.

Being wasted is for morons.

I stopped drinking a few months ago and have zero plans to ever get back into it. Hangovers are awful, and relying on drugs to have fun is beyond stupid in my eyes. Most of the time you just blurt out stupid crap and make a fool of yourself, anyway. I'm done with it.

Smoking is the literal definition of do it to fit in.

Alcohol and drugs makes you feel good.

Every unhealthy thing you try is because you were pressured into it. Not because you wanted to do it.

The slang expression doesn't count. It's not the scientific definition.

Everything causes harm in large quantities. If alcohol is poison, what's the the harm in drinking one cup of beer for example?

What's wrong with blurting stupid shit? It makes for a good laugh. Getting tipsy (=one or two cups of beer, 330 Ml.) will make it easier for you to come up with such stuff. It doesn't spin you out of control - that's a scare tactic.

I wasn't talking about the slang, silly you.

Alcohol is poison, drinking it poisons you. One cup of beer poisons you less than 100. It is still poison.
It clouds your mind, makes you do stupid things you otherwise wouldn't and is detrimental to your health.

Yes, I do. Alcoholic beverages taste good.
Being tipsy makes things more fun. Being drunk is fun. Waking up the next morning is not fun.

People who don't drink saying drinking is stupid are stupid. Though, I understand that looking down on other people while feeling superior is fun. Just not as fun as drinking.

There's a difference between drinking to get drunk, and drinking because it tastes good. I started drinking because I liked the taste of alcoholic beverages. I hardly drink enough to get drunk, well I've always had a high tolerance so it fits well.

sanemurzu said:

I guess the same is true for most European countries, we tend to have a strong connection to alcohol, historically seen due to alcoholic beverages being "cleaner" than water in the Middle Ages. It's been ingrained since then. Though I guess for northern countries it's due to alcohol's low freezing point.

I don't hate people who don't drink. I dislike people who don't drink and call people who drink stupid. Getting all high and mighty for not drinking and insulting other people is disgusting. Simply disgusting.

A little amount of alchohol (one glass a day) lessens the odds of getting getting heart attacks, ischemic stroke, eripheral vascular disease, death from all cardiovascular causes or sudden cardiac death. So no it doesn't kill you unless you drink TOO much in a period of time.

I drink a glass of wine here and there, I prefer them strawberry flavored.

I drank plenty of times a single cup of beer. I didn't lose control. My mind wasn't clouded. At worst, I got a little tipsy and felt freer saying stupid things. That was a lot of fun. How is a single cup detrimental to your health?

the thing about alcohol is that it doesn't make you do things you'd "never do" per se. it only lowers you inhibitions. anything you do or say drunk, you've probably already thought about while sober. this is why it's total bullshit when people use drunkeness as an excuse for bad choices.

so if you are comfortable with your inner thoughts and compulsions, there's really nothing to fear. i've said embarassing shit plenty of times while drunk, but i also never have an inclination to say offensive or malicious shit because i don't have have those kinds of opinions in the first place. so no one cares about anything i've ever said drunk.


This is a better description. Stuff you do when drunk is stuff you want to do anyway. Alcohol just lowers your restraints.

Which is good moderately.
