Do you drink?
| Drinking is a social act and many people on the internet don't tend to engage much in them. It doesn't matter whether they watch anime or not. I only drink alcohol when I go out with friends, so in these corona times my liver is healthier than ever. |

Not worth it with the awful awful hang over the next day Only drank twice this year, birthday with my mom in January and July 4th party.

You do know drinking a few drinks once a month isn't going to kill you right? You literally need to be an alcoholic. Jesus christ these forums are aids. You both sound like you have never even felt the joys it is like to be drunk. No wonder you say this shit. a few drinks isn't going to kill a person, but it will still inhibit there ability to make good decisions. |

I mean I get not wanting to be blackout drunk or throwing up but you honestly have to drink a lot to get to that stage. A single beer is barely gonna do anything to you. If you drank one you'd probably be like "wtf this is it?" And go drink another one. Two beers should do something but its still well under what will cause you to vomit or blackout. I mean I won't push anybody to do anything, but in my experience, being a drinker does help you get along with people. It helps at large social gatherings because you have less anxiety and its also just a fun topic of discussion to bring up sometimes. Lot of people like talking about funny drunk stories. But everybody has their own level of risk tolerance and if you are worried that you have an addictive personality or your family has a history of alcoholism then I understand. Ethanol is actually not that far behind heroin in terms of destructiveness, addiction, and dangers to society, so I find your comparison quite dangerous. I don't think you're doing it while knowing what you do, but it's a big problem with alcohol: people don't know what they're doing. Having lived with heroin addicts and alcoholics, they're pretty much the same for people around them, with the distinction that alcoholics NEVER stop. I've seen a few couples where the heroin addict stopped, and the alcoholic is still struggling with their addiction 10 or 20 years after. The legality of drugs has nothing to do with their dangerosity. LSD is one of the most harmless drug for the body and society, yet it's one of the most severely sanctionned drug on the market. Benzos, nicotine and ethanol are absolute trash wich ruins many lives, yet they're legal. |

| @Kayle_x_Morgana Getting drunk for "fun", yeah, I wouldn't trust you at all. And I've been around drunk people who did it for "fun". Being loud, obnoxious, and just flat out annoying sure is something I must be missing out on. |

It doesn't matter, nobody likes those types of people, even the cops find those types of people irritating. You should never call the cops on your neighbors having a party on a Friday or Saturday night even if it goes until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. Partying on a Wednesday night, fair enough, people got work the next day. But on Fridays/Saturdays you can afford to stay up a little later and sleep in a little. |

| I've had a few drinks of various kinds of alcohol, I can say that it tastes shit lol. Punch is the only good stuff but I can live on water and wouldn't complain one bit. The noise of my block mates when I'm trying to work or sleep has given me a breakdown already. I'd much rather drink something with more benefits to the body. It's incredibly expensive as well. I'd rather buy a years supply of milk than one bottle of alcohol. |
 |
| I rarely ever drink and if I do it's during a afterwork party, I don't really find any joy in it and it doesn't taste particularly good. |
| I don't think me being a teetotaler has anything to do with me being an anime fan, its simply a coincidence. |
| I only drank once in a party, vodka I almost vomitted.Tastes like shit, how do people enjoy these stuff? |
| خ |
| I dont drink because lots of reasons First off is the fact that people who drink are usually annoying and incoherent in thought. I find them annoying along with being disgusted by the idea of not being in full normal control of my usual actions and even maybe forgetting things I only just recently did because of lowered or altered brain functions Drinking is also for losers in most causes, Its a beverage of which one usually uses to help forget hardships instead of actually dealing with them like several of my family members have done along with countless numbers of their friends too Addiction runs in my family bloodline from both my mom and dad so its best I stay away from it as to not become addicted I dont have a car but Im just incredible disgusted by how many underserving people die from drunk driving and other alcohol related deaths because other people deciding to drink |

Noboru said: I don't mind alcohol in foodstuff like in chocolate, liqueur in ice cream or to be put on meat for flavour, but I don't want to drink alcohol for the sake of drinking alcohol or to get more loose. I have only tasted once accidentally wine because some stupid seller gave me negus/mulled wine instead of the non-alcoholic (children) punch. It tasted bad I'm also not a fan of non-alcoholic alcohol drinks. I've tried a bit of non-alcoholic sparkling wine on a party and it has made me not want to drink anything like this anymore forever and ever Yeah, me too, basically. I also do not mind alcohol in chocolate, but I really only drank alcohol, accidentally, twice in my entire life. The first time was when I was around five years old and drank a lot of alcohol from a bottle in one gulp believing it was water, which was very problematic, and the second time was when I was twelve and drank a bit of wine at a party believing it was grape juice. I do have some vices that I have to deal with, but alcoholic drinks have really never aroused my interest. |

| People in here are generally young so they don’t drink. Personlly, I am a student + I’m Danish = ... I’m very experienced in our beer culture. Drinking is not as bad as people make it out to be in here. Just drink with modesty, know your limits and don’t think you’re invincible after having a little alcohol in your blood. Fun fact, I met my best friend over a vodka shot duel back in high school. Pretty sure I won but I don’t remember. (Went against my own advise, I know). So it can diffently also function as a good way to meet new people. It’s not all instant death by liver cancer or kidney failures as some of you guys make it out to be. |

I started going to parties when I was about 15 and it’s just normal here. I think because it’s normalised it’s not really seen as crazy or bad to have a drink. By the time you get to my age (24) you’ve calmed down a lot. It’s crazy to me how you have to be 21 to buy a beer in America. |

This is a pretty weird way of thinking. It's not like the US (where I see you're from) just shuts down on Saturday and Sunday. Plenty of people work weekends and don't get to sleep in the next day. I work at a vet that is open on Saturdays, and I am so grateful that I have a kind old couple living upstairs. I formerly had some young people upstairs that partied on weekends, and it was hellish since due to my work schedule. OT: I don't drink because I'm allergic to alcohol. I USED to drink socially, and I really enjoyed it, but around when I turned 25 I started getting violently ill after a couple sips of beer and hard liquor. Wine gives me terrible headaches about halfway through a single glass. Weirdly I also became allergic to eggs at about the same time. Anyways, I'm definitely healthier without alcohol, but there are times I wish I could have a drink. Maybe a couple times a year I'll have a little bit of wine just for a slight buzz, but that's all I can tolerate. |

Yeah I looked it up and it seems that moderate drinkers actually live longer than non-drinkers do. I don't know why that's the case but I think it shows that alcohol is not like cigarettes, you can drink alcohol in moderation and it be completely harmless. I've never met anyone in my life who is as afraid of alcohol as some of the people in this thread are. It is illegal but most people here don't take it very seriously after they go to college. It might as well be legal for 19-20 year olds to drink given how common it is and how easy it is to get once you're in college. Personally though, I have been drinking since I was 15 years old. I was a bit of a wild child in high school and didn't like rules much. @MajesticOtaKing I know some people work on weekends but I feel like that's part of the risk you take on in working weekends. People gotta have some day for it and Fridays and Saturdays are generally the best day. |

You have a stick up your ass because you think drinking a few beers means "being irresponsible." I didn't berate anyone else, I am berating you specifically for the pretentious attitude you're showing. If anything is "annoying" and "obnoxious" its your attitude. @Murrin Utilitarian principals would indicate that the enjoyment of 50 or 60 people matters more than the ease of 1 or 2. There should be a day or two where people can be loud and have parties. Otherwise we become a boring and sterile society because we won't do anything if it even slightly inconveniences someone. |

| I have several different types of alcohol in my liquor cabinet. The bottom of my fridge also has a case of sun king and some wine coolers. In a typical week I might have one or two drinks? There are days when depression hits me hard or I'm just really stressed out from work and fill up my blender to make a vodka smoothie. I'm definitely not an alcoholic by any means, but if I'm invited to a party I'm gonna knock out a couple of bottles with friends. If I go to the bar for drinks after work, we're gonna work out a couple rounds. Alcohol helps to loosen up and forget your worries or weaken those barriers that you've been building up so nobody sees how sad and depressed you really are. Having a drink every once in a while is healthy for your mental and emotional state. The real problems with alcohol are from constant or over consumption and the use of alcohol with medication. On my days off I sometimes like to kick back with a fat cigar and a glass of whiskey and pretend that I'm some rich businessman who works three hours a day and not the poor middle class schmuck I really am. |
| I dont drink at all but I dont think it has anything to do with anime being my hobby. Drinking just takes too much of a toll on both my physical and mental health so I don't do it. The social aspect of abstaining gets a bit annoying sometimes though, people asking why you dont drink or actually trying to push you into drinking with them. I dont like that. |
| I don't drink, it tastes horrible. And I don't have ID. |
| I love drinking. But I have pretty good self-restraint for these kinds of things. I love wines, not so much with beers, but I tend to avoid drinking it casually. I wouldn't even say I have a routine for it. I like them, but I don't get involved that much. |
| . . . |
| I drink when i want to, that means sometimes everyday sometinmes not for 2 weeks or smth like this |
| Probably because drinking is a social thing and anime fans generally aren't known to be social. Side note, I've worked as a bartender. Making cocktails was always fun. They're my preferred drinks. I hate beer, though I've only drank the basic ones. |
 |
| I personally limit myself to 3 beer a week (16 oz cans usually, 5-8% alcohol). I consider it to be another hobby. I find it fun looking for cool new beers to try and will often make my way out to breweries. I do drink some hard liquor as well, generally as part of cocktails. I very rarely buy wine, but will drink it if it's offered to me. All my friends are also into anime and most of them also drink at least a bit. |

Go complain to your dorm's administration. It's not you who has to adjust to others, it's them who have to adjust to basic manners. They say that alcohol in small amounts is good for the heart, but then again, even small amounts of alcohol are harmful for the memory and linked to a higher risk of cancer As long as you can drink (cow) milk, go ahead! ^^ Mummykun said: Uff, sounds like you had some very bad experiences with alcohol :(Yeah, me too, basically.

| I really like drinking! I'm a bit anxious about it though so I don't drink often or a lot anymore I like to have wine on holidays, last Christmas I had a lil too much and got drunk as all hell, but I almost never do that! Normally I'll have one of those big ~700ml beers a month Just enough for a buzz and infrequent enough that it doesn't become too intense Pretty comfy with my current level of alcohol consumption An infrequent tall beer with a meal once a month is pretty comf |
| Pfffft who gives a damn? Soft drinks taste better anyway and don't damage your brain or liver. :/ |
  |
| coz we're SISSIES nah fr tho it just doesnt interest me. i'd prefer to be in control of my actions where possible. |
| I just don't like the taste of alcoholic beverages. So I don't drink. |
  |
| Not even legally allowed to drink. Even if I'm at the drinking age, I'll be either none, or about 1 or 2 bottles per month, (Unless I get hooked on, hopefully not) |
