Alcohol: your view on it?

[Reality Check 631]

Please keep that stuff away from me

Is that enough to tell you how I feel about it?

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,452]

I find no purpose to it. Anything beyond a wine cooler tastes terrible to me and I can't drink anything like that now with my medications. The entirety of getting drunk always seems like a bad deal and makes you feel horrible afterwards. It is quite irritating that alcohol is perfectly legal in all states but marijuana is still seen as this "oh so evil" thing in most of them.

[Dark Bun 681]

Anything above 4% alcohol content is something I pass on. I've seen what alcohol can do to a person, it can put you on the street just as fast as other substances. Maybe at a party once in a while I'd drink a bit heavier, but generally I stay away from it.

[dead account 2,710]

I don't see a point in it. I tried it in the past, but it's not good for the health and it even tastes very awful. It makes feel dizzy and everything becomes less exciting, so drinking it on a party (or anywhere) would be the last thing I wanna do.

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

I don't want to risk it. I've tried out a few but never liked the taste. I know from personal experience that it can affect and change a person in a negative way. I don't want to take that risk. 

[Midnight Danny 9,025]

l drink alcohol. Jack, Absolut, Alexandrion, Stalinskaya (Stalinskaya is a bit too strong), beers such as Silva Dark, Heineken, Bucegi, Golden Brau, Ursus etc.

l drink just to suffer (since my gf left me or when l'm feeling sad and/or depressed) or just occassionally.

Spoiler

Do not worry about drinking and driving, l won't ever drink any alcohol when l'm driving. l won't take that very dangerous risk. l might want to die, but not like that

It seems very overrated. It doesn’t smell good at all so I don’t know how people stand to drink it.

[Twilight Sparkle97 402]

I view it as nasty drink. I believe I've smelled it before and it looks disgusting. I've already lost a family member a few years ago due to overdoing it. I won't ever drink any achohal. 

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

Alcohol is a terrible substance in my opinion. It tears families apart, kills people, causes health issues, and has no positive impact on the consumer whatsoever. Some of my family members in Massachusetts drink it all the time and they are suffering from it. It killed one of my dad's uncles. Society would be better off without it.

[Northern Star 1,024]

Fun to make, but after seeing an alcoholic relative growing up, I have 0 interest in drinking it.

I mean it's not bad tasting, just I have no interest in it.

I dunno if I'll ever actively drink alcohol. I don't HATE the taste, but if there's an unhealthy type of drink I prefer, that's gotta be caffeine

As the great Johnny Depp once said, "Isn't every hour is Happy Hour?"

[Twilight Dirac 721]

It's fine as long as you drink it in moderation.  And bartenders can do amazing things with cocktails. 

 

I am drinking a whiskey sour as I write this.

[Orgazoid 53]

if you drink it in moderation it actually has health benefits

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

It’s highly overrated.

[DubWolf 17,263]

I’m not much of a drinker. If I do it’s because I don’t want all that sugar from soda at a party. I’ve had my episodes in the past but they’re only a handful.

I haven’t even purchased my first alcoholic drink yet  . I’ve never had to…

haha fermented agave juice make me feel funny

[Splashee 28,563]

I don't see the appeal with alcohol. Social activity when people are intoxicated is remembered as? Is it even remembered?

 

[Yakamaru 3,127]

I drink a little on a rare occasion. A glass or two of Bailey's or a Long Beach Ice Tea is very soothing on the nerves after a hard week of work.

[Pony Flutters 535]

I don't really like it, and I can't have it anyways. I don't know why menus have such lengthy combinations of drinks with silly names, since none of it tastes that good to me.

[Cash In 22,300]

I think it's fine as long as you're responsible enough. I enjoy alcohol sometimes, but I don't immediately hop in my car after drinking and go on a joy ride. Obviously, alcohol can mess with you and causes you to do stuff you won't do normally, but there is still a part of you that has self-control.

[Vefka 1,499]

I've tried a few kinds of alcohol after I turned 18 and didn't like it. Too bitter.

[AppleButt 8,675]

As someone who drank more than he should at one point in time, I'll say society would be much much better off if it never existed. 

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

I find it highly overrated and I have no incentive to drink anyhow, since none of my friends do it even if they are of age. One friend did and we're not friends anymore. That's not the only reason we stopped being friends but it was one of them since as soon as he was allowed to, he wanted to drink every chance he got. Got quite annoying real quick.

[ponyuiqfh1i9f8jj298fuj2 38]

i don't rly get it, i'd rather just drink non-alcoholic stuff
