[editline]08:58PM[/editline] [QUOTE=SoaringScout;24826056]That doesn't make sense, I'm sure that people like the buzz when you drink an okay amount, but if you get drunk, won't you feel sick and lightheaded?[/QUOTE] Find a drink that suits your tastes. Then find out for yourself, dont guess how people feel.

[QUOTE=sp00ks;24807265]You're a depressant. Alcohol makes you feel real good. You also get better at everything when you're drunk (including singing and dancing).[/QUOTE] Actually it makes you so depressed you're too depressed to really give a damn. That's why people do some really stupid shit while drinking. Its not because you're happy, its because of the contradiction created by alcohol's effect on you.

[QUOTE=Akayz;24824180]And how does that not make you feel merry?[/QUOTE] It does, I'm actually a really happy drunk, but then I get carried away and regret it later. It's totally not worth it the next day. :(

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;24805004]Cider is the beer alternative that doesn't make you look like a pussy.[/QUOTE] You're still pussy for not drinking beer. I can't drink cider, I had a bad experience with it :v: [editline]09:08AM[/editline] I used to drink more when I was 17, when I turned 18 the fun of trying to get into clubs went away. [editline]09:11AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Extinct;24805542]Since the limit here is 18, I don't drink. (Respect to da police)But i don't look down on others who drink, but i usually own them by brining my guitar and playing something rather weird (something that works and is almost awful). If they tell me to shut up I ask "why should i?" They have ALWAYS said "It's annoying". I ALWAYS answer "I am annoyed that you're drinking" and yes, i do that just to annoy people.[/QUOTE] So you don't look down on those who drink, you just annoy them. I bet you go to [i]all[/i] the parties.

I drink it more than just to feel good. I do it to have a great party with my friends. [IMG]http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/9693/05251012475b005d.jpg[/IMG] Than get money back for all the beer we drank. Repeat.

[QUOTE=Akayz;24804047]Alcohol makes you feel good. Disagree? I feel good when I drink, dont know about you.[/QUOTE] Have you ever tried 10 shots in 10 minutes? That doesn't make you feel good.

I rarely drink... It's too much like work for me to keep a buzz going and I come from an alcoholic family and I refuse to become an alcoholic.

[QUOTE=Onyx3173;24837821]I rarely drink... It's too much like work for me to keep a buzz going and I come from an alcoholic family and I refuse to become an alcoholic.[/QUOTE] It's to much effort to drink at least one drink an hour?

No. It's a huge effort for me to keep a buzz. Once I get the buzz, it's nearly impossible for me to stay buzzed without getting completely hammered.

[QUOTE=Onyx3173;24837848]No. It's a huge effort for me to keep a buzz. Once I get the buzz, it's nearly impossible for me to stay buzzed without getting completely hammered.[/QUOTE] When you say buzz you mean getting drunk?

Yeah, that'd be a buzz.

[QUOTE=Onyx3173;24837954]Yeah, that'd be a buzz.[/QUOTE] You struggle to stay drunk?

Yes.

I drink for two reasons. One, it generally gives me a good feeling and is generally harmless (in sensible doses) and two, there's some good-tasting drinks out there, if they're alcoholic, so be it.

Alcohol is poison, why do you think it damages your liver?

I drink alcohol (jack daniels) when i goto pubs and eat chicken snitchel. Rest of the time im never in the mood.

I hate my country

[QUOTE=QueenElizebeth;24838551]I hate my country[/QUOTE] Warm beer :barf:

36% of men drank over the reccommended limit last month Which is an amazing 5 standard drinks...

Alcohol can make you feel amazing. it can also make you feel terrible. it's really a toss up. Some people can drink, and some can't.

[QUOTE=sp00ks;24836671]So depressed I feel happy? Can't you see how stupid you sound?[/QUOTE] I know I sound stupid because thats how stupid drinking alcohol is. That was the point I was trying to make and it flew by your head.

[QUOTE=Swilly;24839419]I know I sound stupid because thats how stupid drinking alcohol is. That was the point I was trying to make and it flew by your head.[/QUOTE] There's nothing wrong with drinking alcohol once in a while, if you can control your damn self. My brother's girlfriend has "make up" nights if she doesn't drink on a Friday or something. She'll also drink on a Sunday night when she has work at 7AM. That's stupid.

If you've ever been in Australia for more than a week (over 18 years of age too, of course), you would already know this information. Seriously, we're born drinkers and it's become part of our culture.

[QUOTE=poopsicle;24837787]Have you ever tried 10 shots in 10 minutes? That doesn't make you feel good.[/QUOTE] Dont drink 10 shots? Make a drink last, enjoy it for what it is. Not unless you want to be really well and truly smashed.

[QUOTE=Swilly;24839419]I know I sound stupid because thats how stupid drinking alcohol is. That was the point I was trying to make and it flew by your head.[/QUOTE] Please back that shit up with some sources. Wouldn't this mean that people with real depressions would be happy too?

[QUOTE=sp00ks;24841048]Please back that shit up with some sources. Wouldn't this mean that people with real depressions would be happy too?[/QUOTE] I see what he's trying to say, but he's still wrong. Alcohol is not an emotional depressant, whoever thought that was an idiot. It's a neuro-depressant and slows down everything in your body, that doesn't mean you get sad though.

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;24804891]Alcohol is a depressant.[/QUOTE] It decreases activity in your brain, it doesn't make you feel depressed, there is a difference.
