Lelek 178 October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 "Once you go black, you never go back" - Anonymous Its a saying that may as well apply in alcohol drinking. Once you're addicted well you can be unaddicted again, but I heard its very hard to get rid of the addiction. Very hard. (I really am sorry if I'm offending anypony. It's just a saying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Duck-Quack__ 151 October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 I hate all kinds of alcohol. Though I do find that bottles of wine make a good decoration around the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomk 20,663 October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 (edited) Beer is gross. I can't figure out why people drink beer. Because beer is cheap? I don't know. I do, however, like to drink every now and then. My preferred drink is a glass of whiskey neat. Don't water it down with ice or other things. It doesn't taste good and for a while I had to chase it down with something because the burn was pretty intense. Eventually I got to a point where I could tough out the burn. Anyway, I drink every so often. Maybe once every week or two, but I only have one at a time because that's where I draw the line. I don't want to get drunk and if I need to I want to still be able to drive my car. (It's not illegal to drink and then drive so long as you're not intoxicated. It's not usual for me to have more than two drinks within a single hour, but I don't ever drink so much that I can't walk in a straight line. If, however, I do have a third, I'll wait a while. I'd hate to see someone hurt because of me) The reason I like whiskey so much isn't about taste. It's about feel. It goes down and melts inside, sending a slow wave of warmth fro head to toe. It's awesome to have a shot or two on a cold winter evening. But only one or two. I never have more than that. Always gotta exercise caution with spirits because a little is still a lot. But anyway if you offer to grab a couple shot of whiskey with me, you're speaking my language! Edited October 12, 2014 by Space Woona I refuse to let go until you're impressed.

Christmasy Britty 2,553 October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 considering I've only had sips I don't think I would really like but technically never had a glass I guess once in a while I'd have to have a sweet one perhaps a honey mead but other than that no I don't drink signature by Pucksterv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning-spark 34 October 13, 2014 Share October 13, 2014 ok so this is me as a student, i love the alcohol, especially whiskey (thank you blackjack). but here is what i dont do. even though i love the flavor so much and the feeling (i never get hung over or sick) i will only drink with friends because i dont see the point of drinking on your own unless you are really upset, in which case pass me a case lol.

Not_active 732 October 18, 2014 Share October 18, 2014 I wish the government would stop separating alcohol/tobacco from other drugs, because they are drugs, they go into your head and fuck with it. Society uses the word "drugs" to demonize other substances to support their prohibition, while alcohol and tobacco are just bad for you, but they're "not drugs" so it's okay and normal, everyone does it anyway.

Exactly, that is my point. It's just what we call it, "drug" is just a word we made up. It doesn't make it any better just because we don't call it a drug, when it in fact is.

Yes, and where do you think this negative connotation comes from? Almost every human on earth are drug users, even a lot of animals. But of course, this is not the way we think. A drug user is someone who takes heroin injections, sniffs cocaine and shit.

NotoriousSMALL 1,984 October 18, 2014 Share October 18, 2014 I've only done it once, and even then I drank about two sips. My friends try to get me to do it every now and then (extremely rarely). I just don't like it, and I don't find getting drunk appealing. Like there's much more to do than getting to the point were you can't think straight and your stumbling around like a damn idiot.

No, it comes from the government calling every substance they've made illegal, drugs. People always say; Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs...like they're so different. That way they demonize them and make them a taboo, it's the work of a genious, actually. It's a good way to scare people and keep them from breaking the law.

Not_active 732 October 18, 2014 Share October 18, 2014 The government doesn't call everything illegal a drug. I didn't say they did... It calls drugs drugs, whether they're legal or not. It might be more like this in my country than yours though, my country has something called "the narkotika list", and that basicly means every illegal substance in my country. Narkotika is the norwegian word for drug, and it's heavily demonized because of this, but most people don't even know the definition of it very well. Absolutely nobody here could think of regarding alcohol, tobacco (or caffeine for that matter) as drugs. And how is not breaking the law a bad thing? I don't think breaking the law is a positive thing, I'm actually neutral about it. I don't look at whether a person breaks the law or not, I look at what the person is actually doing. For example, if he smokes a joint for himself in his own home, he breaks the law, but I couldn't give a shit less, because he's not affecting anyone but himself. If he steals from someone, he is also breaking the law, but then I have a problem with it. Because then he causes the suffering of someone else. So basicly, I only respect laws that restrict freedoms in order to protect all citizens. Laws against things like gay marriage and personal drug use...what the hell are they for? One thing, needlessly restricting freedom. A wonderful quote describing what I'm talking about, is: "My right to throw punches ends at your face."

Rainblow H. Ash 5,091 October 18, 2014 Share October 18, 2014 Most people who drink do not cause problems. Most people who smoke weed do cause problems either. While we're at it, it is a known fact that most politicians and businesspeople have done extremely hard drugs yet I don't see people calling that they all go to jail for it. Fact is more violent fights and car accidents have happened with alcohol than other drugs so I find it interesting that there remains such a stigma against other substances like sativa or indica when alcohol impairs driving and causes fights and tobacco slowly kills you. And don't even get me started on the world's most addictive drug, caffeine. 1 #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I most certainly have and you are exaggerating the problem. Truth is, it's all about irresponsible people and not irresponsible drugs. Drugs can't make you do anything you don't want them to do. Well, except make you sick as balls but that comes with the territory since they're illegal and not quality tested most of the time. I just wonder where some of the people who claim that all illegal drugs are worse than alcohol and tobacco have been hanging out where people take a puff on a joint and suddenly go crazy. #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
