alcohol just makes me tired, unresponsive and uneasy.
Last time I had beer was when I was in Berlin over a year ago and even then I didn't have much.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;45144545]I can't stand the taste of beer. I've tried a bunch, they all taste like either mud or piss. Or both.
My boozes of choice are either hard ciders, whiskey, or rum.[/QUOTE]
I like ciders too, and Whiskey and Vodka are my hard liquors of choice for mixed drinks. It's the perfect season for lemonade right now, so a hard lemonade with Jack or some UV Blue is amazing.
I don't like the idea of getting drunk :(
Maybe I'm turned off by it because my parents go overboard with the booze a lot and can't really control themself.

For me its because I own equipment I wouldn't want drunk me to damage or impair because a replacement wouldn't happen anytime soon.
Anyway, I made good progress on me getting better internet connection today. Worked out what we paid per month and figured to get a 10 times or 12 times increase in speed would only cost us £10 more than we currently pay. Seems good to me but its my Dad who I've got to convince.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;45144418]I'm the guy who drinks coffee black, though, and my beer hobby started with stouts, so things that most people probably think tastes like shit are kinda my thing.[/QUOTE]
I like my coffee with no sugar and almost no creme, dark beers, and ipa's that done taste like grass clippings and pine needles, but I choke on PBR

Actually Mud is pretty good.
I used to be all about whiskey, but I've discovered a taste for tequila.

Ive got two big bottles of cider coming in the mail next month, only 60 cases in existence apparently.

Someone make an Alcoholics discussion thread
What do you Americans call this?

In the UK it's called Honeycomb, but apparently in America it's Sponge Toffee.
I have never heard of sponge toffee

My Dad [I]always[/I] gets drunk on Fridays and Saturdays, it's really awful.. I like getting drunk but I don't make a habit of it.
So I just get drunk when I'm out with friends (I never drink alone).
Trying to digitize VHS has proven to be an extremely cumbersome and difficult process. I have still yet to find a way that doesn't put the audio/video out of sync.

plug a VHS player into a giant flatscreen and pretend to camrip your own VHSes

I only drink with friends, which is pretty rare for me (I usually never drink).
I can't stand the taste of beer. It feels like drinking piss. I also don't like wine, It's just not my taste. The only alcoholic drink I tasted and liked was whiskey.
I'm pretty scared of drinking to the point where I cannot think straight and control my actions.

This takes a lot more alcohol than you'd think. When it happened to me, I had done 16 shots in an hour and the extent of my uncontrollable actions was passing out on the couch, falling off said couch, waking up an hour later and ranting about high school, then puking on said couch.
Funnily enough, the girl whose couch I puked on is now my girlfriend. It's a running gag, like, "hey, you never thought the guy you barely knew who puked on your couch would end up your boyfriend, right?"

I know, but seeing how much people change when they drink, doesen't really help.

Eh. I'd just say if you want to push yourself to the limit, do it with a small amount of friends at a safe place. Knowing your boundaries is a good thing. Mine happens to be 16 shots (but oh god probably less v:v:v)
I don't know why I would do that. :v:
I don't really see the benefits in it.

I was only born once though
I just was curious what it was like. I didn't do anything stupid, I just got louder and more chatty and then passed out. It really isn't that great, no, you're right, and you probably aren't missing out on anything.
Drunk people just plain scare me.
I would like to experience atleast once being drunk. But as of yet I drank a bottle of sparkling wine by myself and all it did was make my eyes focus worse than they do and make me a bit tired.
My issue is Alcohol tastes horrible to me.
Getting drunk is only worth it if you're with friends, I don't understand people who drink and get drunk on their own as it sounds quite depressing. I have no problem going to bars with friends and getting drunk though.
Eh, I'll be honest. I drink. Quite a bit. Often alone, too
[QUOTE=wingless;45143724]PBR tastes like literal alcoholic piss, no hyperbole, how do you drink that trash.[/QUOTE]
Because it was my first beer. I had it while drinking one with my grandfather before he passed away. Thanks.
I said the most hipster thing to my sister.
[QUOTE]Oh, I used [Zedge] at one point but then I stopped and became original.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;45141253]I just want to thank all the people who share stories like this for continuing to ensure that I won't drink.[/QUOTE]
There's nothing wrong with drinking with friends - if your friends are decent, there won't even be much to clean up.
Also, got a job as an author on a guide on "How to use the Xbone", which means I'll get a free Xbone and basically get paid to use it. Other jobs will hopefully follow, probably something with WP8 or W8.

Then you're only really half-way drunk. For some people, alcohol is an acquired taste.
Just out of curiousity, anyone else in this thread vape/have an e-cig?
