What are your views on alcohol

not really high on my list, I usually only drink for the taste of high quality beverages, and not the intoxicant effect. (stop drinking before getting drunk) as some wines, beers and liquors are very enjoyable to consume in terms of flavor. But as a drug, its shit.

Yeah, I don't really get drink to get drunk anymore either. But a nice Trappist beer, glass of pinot noir, or anejo tequila is very hard to resist.
 
Alcohol is the drug of convenience. If I had to wait for three hours at midnight in a Denny's parking lot for a six pack I'd stop drinking. Now, if I could buy LSD, methamphetamine, and marijuana legally I'd be at the corner store right now.
 
alcohol...what to say...its a drug, makes for a good time, personally i can think of a million t hings i'd rather have over it(or a million things with it haha), but thats just my personality type. I'm not a big partier, but can't pass up/beat a drink every now and t hen . I definately won't hate on it because it's legal,,.... thats a good thing for me
 
alcohol should only be an occasional drug, however, since its legal, it tends to be close to an everyday one.
 
worst "drug" but...

I love good imported sake, top self tequila for sipping, and quality beer (yes the quality theme is redundant but I don't want to rewrite at the moment). Magic Hat has some good beer but I miss fresh German beer. Most good beer in made in the USA is way too hoppy for me (usually) I like more malt.

I switch from a very light to an occasional drinker
 
a point in the other >

Moderiate daily use is acually healthy, ex. a beer or 2 a day. That is why alcoholism (if you think Darwin had a good point with evolution).

For one thing it is good for one's cardiovascular system.

Actually there are both positives and negatives associated with even moderate drinking, so it really depends on one's own goals to determine whether or not it's an overall "healthy" habit.
 
still..

Well lifestyle, congental issues, and genetics factor in heavly. Many people in the USA have/will develope diseases or syndromes that are cardiovascular related.
 
+ Alcohol

: I like the buzz in social situations
: I like being drunk in social situations
: Easy and legal

- Alcohol

: terrible drug, health-wise, imo
: tastes awful. smoking pot is so much easier and faster...
: addiction to alcohol can be one of the worst addictions, physically.
: overpriced, imo
: vomiting and hangover suck a lot.


... I don't really have a taste for alcohol though; I don't understand how you can sip tequilla, or enjoy a beer. Maybe I haven't had the right stuff, I don't drink a lot, so that's really possible.
 
The definition of a love/hate relationship.

Recently, more of a hate relationship. I start to see sides of people that I never want to see when they're drunk. Normally reasonable, open-minded friends turning into complete dickbags and assholes. It makes anything seem like a good idea, when usually it's not. Too much and you get sick. It's pretty easy to overdo it and either feel like shit when drunk or feel like shit the next morning.

I love being drunk, but the cons are starting to outweigh the pros for me. In a major way too. Beyond that, it frustrates me that this drug is legal and so many others aren't. Its a single-sided, liver-damaging, addicting monster that isn't viewed as such.

:(:(:(

But it's really great on occasion. =D
 
^ I should have added that, too. Some people are total assholes when they're drunk... and to a varying degree, myself as well.
 
personally, i HATE alcohol, my uncle died of serosis because he was an alcoholic and if my mom doesnt stop drinking i feel the same thing is going to happen to her and it scares me. she always has to have a drink and it always causes issues in my family :\
i try not to drink either because i am like my mom and once i open a bottle, i dont stop, so i try to stay away
 
the only time i truly enjoy alcohol is either:

1) on a hot summer midday on a patio, drinking a cold one (beer)

2) at a party drinking a cold one (beer) along with blow

other than that it's overrated imo

never was a fan of hard liquor

also, when i do drink, i tend to smoke a lot
 
Well lets see. i went to texas tech over labor day weekend, got super trashed and high 3 days in a row and got laid. so i think alcohol does wonderful things. lmao.
