Eh, I'm not really into dranking. I have only tried very small amounts of beer, wine, and vodka, and they all tasted pretty bad to me.

I did drink some kinda mexican tequila/margarita or something from a bottle, and that actually tasted ok, but it was my parents' I didn't wanna drink to much, or I'd get caught. :-/

I love drinking. I don't like doing it too often, because it always takes a lot out of me when I do.

Why do I drink? I do it to enjoy life, enjoy the company of friends,, and maybe because I seek those golden moments in human history that are fleeting, and never to be experienced again. Things like, making a behind-the-back shot in beer pong, or tackling each of your friends in a raucous brawl (reportedly in the name of Satan). These sort of things never happen when people get together sober (or at least they don't with me).

What do I drink? Almost anything you'll put in front of me. I'm partial to good beers, and luckily living in Wisconsin has granted me the opportunity to try many great micro-brews. I like New Glarus and Lake Loui's quite a bit, but I'll resign myself to Old Style or PBR if the situation calls for it (usually involving many heated matches of beer pong). I'll drink liquor, but not often anymore. I prefer dark liquors, especially whiskey, but I'll drink vodka if it's there to be drank.

Do I think drinking is wrong? No. However, that is a loaded question. No, the act of drinking is not wrong, it's only natural. People drink, people smoke, people **. It's the natural order of the universe. However, I do believe that there is something wrong with the things that might happen when people drink. But that's not the alcohol's fault. It's the fault of the person and the decisions the he or she might make. You can't blame alcohol for those things, the alcohol never found a way to their lips on its own.

Drinking is awesome... if it doesn't hurt you or the ones close to you, and is done in good fun. If you drink so much that it starts causing health problems and/or problems with loved ones and family then it can be a pretty terrible thing.

As Finnish, I do drink. I used to drink very much, but when I got older and start to actually thinking I stopped it. I drink around ten times in a year if some parties or alike goin on.

If you drink a little, one vodka drink after meal. Its good. When you drink couple vodka bottles in one night say few times a week... well you will see then if you do.

Neat consept called "hangover" is actually toxicstate in your system. Your system start to reject and fight back on that toxic state that cause the thing. So when I ask for myself..."is it good that your system have an toxic state?" I think you know my answer.

Ofcourse being in drunk could be fun, Doh well, I can have fun without alcohol.

Cheers!

I drink cider and all sorts of spirits. Of course it isn't wrong, as long as you can maintain your morals when you are drunk. I don't get drunk very often though. I enjoy it because it gives me more confidence to talk to people, I'm quite a shy person really.

Being 13, not that much. Out at my Aunt's place she lets me have Dissarona with Ginger Ale, and its good, but it starts to burn after about fifteen minutes in. I've tried beer and hated it though. Wine, eh, its okay. I don't see how people enjoy it. It doesn't taste too good, nor do you get a buzz at all. Or maybe its just my tolerance for it, idk. The best thing I've had was a martini-ish thing. It was Blue Maui with Mountain Dew. Buzz - No. Hyper - Hell yes. lol.

If you're going to drink beer, don't drink the ***ty american piss (Bud, Miller, etc).

I enjoy drinking, but drinking to get drunk is sad.

Amen, Brother!!!

Who ever crowned Budweiser the king of beers should be dragged though the streets and burned at the stake. I's pure blasphemy saying that that watered down crap is beer let alone "the King" of beers.

I never liked beer until i started tasting some imported stuff. I loved it. I don't drink much, but when i do i tend to binge for a couple of weeks. I'm also more likely to drink when no ones around. I guess i don't want people to know i drink. I'm kinda' a freak like that.

I sure am getting thirsty for a good beer right about now.

Agreed, I'm sure there are some quality beer's that are brewed in the USA, but foreign-made beer is definitely the way to go.

I used to just drink vodka and rum, but then I got tired of being trashed all the time. Back then I used to think that beer sucked because it didn't get you drunk, but now I see that that's a virtue!

I drink, and when I do drink I'm an idiot, but a good laugh. The amount of rants I go off on, and depending on who I'm with I'll lie through my teeth until they get the hint to go away.

I ventured off to a number of stuff from Ales, to Beer, to Spirits, to Wine and all that other soft stuff like WKD. Some of them can be good as long as I've had so much to drink that I've lost all knowledge of flavour. I don't actually mind Whisky, I love Sambuca and Absinthe.

I got pretty bored of drinking to get drunk, plus it was just a waste of money, I'd rather be sober, remember what I've done and actually be my true self. But then I still drink for the sake of drinking, not to get drunk. If I do get drunk it just means I've had a little too much.

There were some good times though, plus heading home and trying to act sober was hilarious. Good times, good times.

im not a big drinker, but i do enjoy the occasional celebratory drink (or a random weekend of intoxication)

just take it slow and dont over do it. i tend to get carried away, and its never a good idea to drink as much as i tend to.

I just usually drink until I get to the point where I stand up and the room starts spinning. Then I know I've had enough. A decent feeling, but not over done. And I sure as hell don't drive when I'm drunk.

When I drink, I drink a lot. I'm like crater, I'll go six months and not touch a drop then go on a month long binge and drink every day. I drink 7 year Beam and that's it. I guess it effects people differently. When I drink I do it to get drunk, but I always remember everything the next day and I can still function just fine. For example, one night I started on a fifth of Jim beam. I was playing my guitar but about half way through the bottle I put up a new storm door (which required cutting the aluminum frame, drilling holes, and using a tape measure). By the time I was done my bottle was almost empty so I went back to playing the guitar and finished off my whisky. I was drunk but the door went up fine and my playing was just as good as when I'm sober.

Budweiser does taste pretty bad compared to Modelo, which is the best Brand of beer I've ever tasted.

As far a s Liquor I like Buchananns Scotch Wisky and Wild Turkey Wiskey. I also enjoy Tequila but it gives me a bad headache the next day (hangover)

I also like ale.

Light beer is the worst.

mmm.... the first time i got drunk i was 13... i broke my arm in a gig and asked one of my friends what 2 do. i had tequila and then whiskey for the pain... i ended up with a lighter held in my broken hand up in the air in knockin on heavens door song... didnt went to the hospital till next day

drinkin: yes i like, but aint easy cause if its not the id its my parents keepin me from drinkin... what im doin is im gettin a job, and with soome friends renting an apartament so we can gig, drink, or do anything, and well invent a fabulous character that is a very good person (in my parents terms) and supposedly lives in there... drinkin is fun, but if you start or become pissed off, then its dangerous.. its fun, cause im a quiet guy mostly, and it really connects people..

wrong??? never. its not wrong if you accept the consequences of drinkin, you might end in jail, but its not bad if that is somethin you dont care about. wrong is when your gf wakes up pregnant and you cant take care of a baby... but dont worry, its not that common, so give yourself a break and drink :)... but acceptin the consecuences is also: "omg i had the best time of my life, i laughed my lungs out for the most stupid reason, i said i love you to all my friends and the girl i like and to the bartender, i told the story of my life, now i feel lighter, i cried and my friends did it with me about our ex's and failed objectives, and i wouldnt have achieved all that without...(thats the word you choose to put in).."

Hmm, I don't see any problem at all with drinking, as long as you're not out of control. Being nearly 17, I like to have a drink with mates every so often and at parties, but never go too crazy that I can't remember anything and end up hugging the toilet the next day.

One of the finest things in life for me is to just sit back in a deck chair in my back garden on a hot summers day a drink an ice cold pint of Guinness. also another thing, is it me or does beer always taste better when drunk from a glass?

Any body got some interesting drunken talents? I found out my one a couple Friday nights ago was playing to spoons. At least I thought I was good at the time.

Also anybody gone hell bent on absinthe? I blame my brother for this. he went off to Greece one year for his holiday and came back with 3 bottles of absinthe, so we played drinking games with it. Big mistake! It's the most powerful stuff I've ever drunk and probably never will again, it just burns...
