Sweet Nectar Of The Gods...
 

Ok, due to all the boring topics, i'm gonna try and think of some interesting ones. Or interesting to me anyway...

Do you drink the ambrosia known as alcohol? Are you a frequent drinker and what's your favorite poison?

I'm a semi regular drinker, not really that heavy a drinker, though i go to the local park to get wasted every now and then. My favorite drink would be beer, and i have a strong hatred towards Alcopops and such, due to their pussiness.

Discuss. Now.

I drink but only socially. I despise beer but most RTD's make me sick, so I either stick to beer or made up punch containing orange juice, lemonade, and vodka.
I only go to parties like less that one a month though.
I don't mind though, because luckily I'm the type of person who doesn't actually need to drink to liven the place up, but it sure does help.

I am a social drinker myself, i try to abstain from drinking but its so boring at parties if you dont drink.

I drink fruity, homemade drinks like San Franscisco. And I love Bailey's. Mmmmmm... Bailey's!

I drink on occasion and sometimes in my peronal time. Mainly wine, my favorite alcohlic drink though is a White Russian. Scoth is good too.

Argh, can't stand hard alcohol. Can down a beer in seconds, though.

I drink, but never during daytime (as i find it common) or among family members (as i become less inhibited). I don't particularly like drinking a lot, though, as i like to remember the night i've had. There was a time when i used to see how ratted i could get before a certain time, but the novelty has worn off.

My favourite poison would have to be Vodka and Orange. Or a mixture of spirits that only my local club, Spiders, does. Or Vodka and Red Bull. Or Cocktails. Yes.

I loathe beer though.

I don't drink.

I've never drank alchohol, and I never will. My reasons are my own, but let's just say that alchoholism is a genetic disease and I don't want to end up like Daddy Dearest.

'Sides, Mountain Dew and Mellow Yellow are just as good.

Aw Dipstikk! *Hugz*

I don't drink, I'm put off because my dad drinks a hell of alot and he gets angry very quickly.

Also, beer tastes horrible and I don't want to be put in a position where I can't remember what I've done.

I don't drink. Like Dipstikk, I don't want to end up like my "father" either.

So yeah, no underage drinking for Ambi. In the future, I may have a drink on special occasions, but I'll never ever be a casual drinker, get drunk, or keep alcohol in my house.

Good for you. You should be proud that you can say that, because not a lot of people can.

I for one can't... although I rarely drink. Strongbow, Guinness or Budweiser is what I usually have.

If you'd actually tried drinking (But I'm not saying you have to) you would find that it is very easy to know the point between 'having a good time' and 'smashed'.
I've never forgotten something that's happened at a party in my life.

Unless you're on this forum

I tend not to get smashed, not because i dislike it or worry, because it's expensive for a person of my size, it takes over 8 or 9 strong beers to get me mildly drunk when i eat. Which is too much for a person with zero income.

'I don't want to be put in a position where I can't remember what I've done.'

Yeh, i've got so drunk one time i couldn't actually remember how i got home. Which offered weeks of amusement at the club i was at, at the time, as i tried to track my memory down by asking people if they took me home that night. I made many-a-new friends.

I've also had the misfortune of attempting to sit down on a table that wasn't there.

Now i make sure i don't take enough to get slaughtered with, though £5 at Spiders can get you wrecked (shots of Vodka are 50p). But usually when i get upto £5 i'm quite content not to drink anymore.

I did that. except replace table with moving skateboard. Oh dear.

I love pubs. Not just any old pubs either, I'm talking about cottagey little places with low cielings, dim lighting, and wood paneling. There really is nothing better, especially if they have a pool table and lots of events involving local traditions.

That and camping around a bonfire, another perfect venue for a bit of a drink.

Can't drink, not of age yet. America requires you to be 21 rather than 18. As far as I'm aware of that is the highest age of any country and its b.s. Anyhow, I work in a bar/supper club and have seen way too many drunken assholes to want to drink.

Please, I drink lightly anyway. All of my friends drink at have gotten drunk. I don't get drunk and I don't intend to, it kills a number of brain cells and can make you do really stupid things. I don't mean to sound like a high school assemble douche or a compensating drunkard, I' like to drink alcohol every now and then because it's a good drink and has a lovely taste (especially a White Russian!).

Weed > alcohol

but Irish cream is so good... even non-Bailey's. Southern Comfort is also decent.

Yeah I agree.

But you all knew that. :p

Leagalize it bitch!

Okay, who likes Zima on here? I've never had one and I here it's horrible.

Now i'm with you there, pubs are one of the finest points of Britain, though many in cities or towns are a bit crap with a 3:1 chav to normal human ratio.

I'm not technically of drinking age in my country either, being only 16. Though we can drink from 5 under parental supervision within private residences. And i can drink beer wine or cider with a meal. Which is all i would want to drink really, other than whisky. But breaking the law is no problem with me, my friends have fake IDs. And i look pretty tall and old anyway.

Wales, Cornwall, and Scotland have some very nice pubs, probably some of the nicest traditional pubs in England I'd say. The great thing being that none of them have anything to do with fox hunting, whereas pubs in the rest of Britain tend to have names like "the fox and hound" and all the posh toff clientele to go with it.

But moutain dew and mellow yellow dont make you do retarded but often hilarious things!

You of all people should know you don't have to be drunk to do such things. :rolleyes:

All depends on how much you drink. Sugar highs can make me exceedingly giggly.

OH MY!

One does make rather good cakes doesn't one. :D

On a side note...or related note...or whatever? Could someone post that "BEER!" song?

Too bad normal people don't get sugar highs...

Is this the one you mean? http://i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=11106

Second. But V is the true nectar of the Gods.

Third...ed? Does that sound right? Ah screw it, I agree aswell.

Really? Is that why you wouldn't even walk up to the store to buy a 25 pence pack of rizlas and 50 pence disposable lighter so that your brother could roll up a joint? Because you love weed so much?

Why're people going on about how great Weed is (i'm talking about the past few months when someone else mentioned the shtuffs, not just in this topic)? Weed isn't great, Weed shouldn't be legalised, now stop making a big thing about it and grow up.

I loathe people who bitch at the Government for not legalising it, well, personally, i'm glad. Weed is vile, horrid smelling substance that can cause paranoia. Euck.

I don't go on about how great it is. All I said was I agree that it's better than alcohol. To be honest, I really don't care if it gets legalised or not.

No, it was because I had no money (no, not even 75p) and he wouldn't give me any money to buy them. If he had given me the money, I still wouldn't have done it. Like I told him, he as plenty of friends that could have done it for him.

Oh, and if you'll look up at my post, you'll see I never said I love it. I just said that I agreed it is better than alcohol.

I'm a raging alcoholic. I'm notorious for going on week-long benders...Hence my infrequent visiting patterns.

Anyway, I love Olde English 800 Malt Liquor, Schlitz malt liquor, Jager, Jack daniels and Mickey's big mouths. My mixed drink of choice is the 'irish car bomb'.

I beg to differ.

One could argue that alcohol is much more vile, and definetly much more horrid-smelling. As for paranoia...... ?

Weed causes... nobody knows. Nobody actually knows what weed causes. There's no evidence to say that it causes anything, even though it's been found that it has the potential, it's never been found to actually do anything. Weed can smell like any number of things, and although the stuff you buy on the street smells like a cross between B/O, freshly cut lawn grass and coffee, the good stuff can smell like lemon, orange, citrus, and even bubblegum. The only reason I make any money at all from weed is because it's illegal, if it was legalised people would just grow their own and I wouldn't make a penny, niether would any other dealer. You don't even have to smoke the stuff, you get a high that's 3 times stronger if you eat it.

Now let's compare that to alcohol. Alcohol always makes people smell horrible, makes people behave like a total idiot, causes violence, road accidents, and carries some very serious health risks.

Still think Alcohol is better than weed?

Weed makes people behave like total idiots, and causes road accidents as well.

I've noticed it coming up in conversations here more and more as well Jacob, I think it's just people trying to show off.

So lets turn the topic back to alcohol, shall we?

Do some people hassle people in other places for drinking mixed drinks like vodka and raspberry etc. instead of beer? They do here, it's so lame.

Actually there's no evidence to show that it causes road accidents. In every road accident case where THC was present, alcohol was also present. Moreover, it has been shown in tests of people driving under the influence of marijuana, that while it does very slightly diminish driving ability, it makes people more cautious.

As for people bringing up the topic of cannabis with a view to showing off, I would like to point out that while that may have been the case elsewhere, it is evidently not the case here, and I have not found it to be the case elsewhere, so I personally highly doubt it.
