The Alcohol thread...

spacejunk said:
the active ingredient is hydroxyethane any which way you take it. it's a bit like saying the effects of sniffing methamphetamine are different to injecting it intravenously - true enough, but it's still the same chemical.
there might be some differences in the way various drinks are consumed, and slight differences in how the alcohol effects your consciousness, but that arguably has a lot to do with how you diluted it is, how quickly you drink it and the presumptions you have in consuming it.

I agree.

Has anyone tried the Aldi beers? They always looks so incredibly bad, and I've heard they're terrible, so I've never tried them. All the alcohol at Aldi I've tried is crappy actually, with the exception maybe of the peach, melon or butterscotch schnapps if you're making shots/cocktails.

I too have only heard of how terrible they are, I wouldn't buy one, but I'd try someone else's.
 
the USA (among other countries) has long had really cheap beer, very unpleasant apparently, and i think even cheaper than this.

according to this link (http://addiction-dirkh.blogspot.com/2011/08/7-myths-alcohol-industry-wants-you-to.html) 5% of drinkers account for 45% of alcohol sales. this strikes me as a pretty huge proportion of alcohol being consumed by problem drinkers. obviously the australian market has been lacking an extremely cheap beer for this demographic - but it looks like that is about to change, eh?
 
There is really no need to call it anything other than ethanol, given that ethanol is the IUPAC name and is shorter than hydroxyethane.
 
^ But using other words is fun, just like saying bogus is more fun than saying bad and hooroo better than saying bye ;)

I don't know how much price affects problem drinkers anyway. It's not like it's hard to get drunk, and anyone can have super cheap alcohol with a homebrew kit, or methylated spirits, whatever!

.... I just dispise the taste of alochol, nothing can cover that taste up, not even the cruisers can cover it up enough....... I've heard people say, the more you drink it the better it gets, like an aquired taste, but going through all of that gross tasting liquid is just *puke*

I haven't tried them but my friend reckons they have no taste and don't give you a hangover because they conform to the German purity laws (being European beers) meaning there's less crap in them.
 
Question time*

OK, need BLer's opinions on this.. well I don't need but I'm curious...

what amount of consumption would you guys considering to be a 'alcoholic' level?
 
I reckon it's more a mindstate or set of behaviours rather than how much you actually drink. Having a drink before 12pm doesn't magically turn you into an alcho, haha, but at the same time if you find yourself having a drink when you wake up, drinking everyday, drinking more than you planned etc, they could be signs of some level of dependence.
 
Does any one else passionately love a beer or even any other type of alcohol that most people hate?

Every one is SA are pretty biased against West End but fuck it's amazing. I would choose it over any other beer even with unlimited money.

Never really see anyone constantly drinking Melbourne Bitter which has been my favourite for a few years now.
 
^ Melbourne Bitter is the only beer that one of my closest friends dads will buy, I reckon its fucking shite but I don't like beer so am probably not the best critic.

I don't think theres a set amount of alcohol to draw the line where if you cross it your an alco and if not your fine, it really comes down to how much you are relying on alcohol to relax/get through the day/socialise/etc. Honestly if you have to ask yourself if you are an alcoholic then at the very least you are probably headed that way.
 
I just read Amy Winehouse's death was attributed to alcohol poisoning. Her blood alcohol was .4168( She was found with two large and one small empty bottles of vodka beside her bed.
Makes my one and a half bottles of wine blackout embarrassment last night seem a little less horrendous but a timely warning!

I feel sad about her death. I didn't particularly like her or her music but I guess I could relate to some of her problems. It's sad that she's gone.
 
it's sad that she's another human life snuffed out by the relentless hounding of the media celebrity fetish.
the whole tawdry "drugs will kill you" subtext to all of these stories is the message, as well as the fact that a dead pop star sells a shitload of papers and trash magazines. profits and propaganda.
they went on and on about her lifestyle for years before she died, and it seems fair to say that her prospects of recovering from her addictions look pretty slim when she never got any respite.
the scummy paparazzi (and mainstream press in general) love harassing people to death - when they smell blood, they just don't give up. "if it bleeds, it leads" - and if it involves CELEBRITY and tragedy, it sells. that's their dirty bread and butter - you could name hundreds of examples.

i guess the irony in this case is that it wasn't her fondness for (moral-panic demon substances) smack or crack that killed her, but good ol' liquor. everyone's favourite legal poison.
the only intoxicant joe public is allowed to consume that doesn't involve convincing a doctor to script it, or sniffing glue.

fucking hypocritical bullshit western culture. thank god the corporate media is dissolving into irrelevance more and more every day. good riddance. let's just hope that the next slimy fuck to drop off the perch is rupert murdoch.
 
^ great post i couldn't agree more, he deserves to get what has been coming to him for along time :)
