I think you need to try more of the micro brews in the states before you judge the beer. There is alot of quality brew coming out of the pacific northwest. I mean if i judged all of Ireland's beer on the Guinness that's sent over here i would think that all they have is bland tasteless crap.

(I hear the longer you are an alcoholic the less it takes you to get wasted) another uncle died at the age of 24 from drunk driving. One of my friends in highschool had liver failure at the age of 19 from drinking so much. My grandfather used to beat my mother after he drank.
Hey man.. I'm very sorry to hear about your friend that passed. I know it's a touchy subject and what-not, however I have a question just for my own personal knowledge seeing as I am an avid drinker and 19 years old myself.. How often did your friend drink (I'm guessing daily) and how many drinks did he consume throughout the day?

Drunk is best at times. It's best for really orgiastic shit...when you don't care when you wake up or what you look like or what the girl looks like that's next to you when you wake up. I love being drunk. I don't like hangovers.
Then again, well, pot doesn't agree with me. Psychedelics, tho....:D

I enjoy a drink every now and then, but being at university, I'm pretty much surrounded by it - drinks are so cheap here its pretty hard to avoid it.
Two of my flatmates are out almost every night of the week and come back completely wasted. They must have pissed away at least ?200 in the past 2 weeks (around $400).

Alcohol effects people differently, as do all drugs.
I smoked cannabis daily for years but can't smoke it anymore due to severe negative effects (paranoia, lack of motivation, depression etc etc etc..)
I like the effect alcohol has on me. I become more relaxed and definitely more social.
I simply don't understand people that get obnoxious and violent from drinking the stuff.
That's why I don't smoke weed anymore as well. I had my fun with it during the first year after high school, but I just don't find it rewarding anymore at all. Not to say that I'll never smoke again.
As to alcohol - there's nothing like occasional beer or wine together with friends

I dont like alchohol either, I refer to it as a dirty high that has its share of negative affects. Nothing against wine tho, seems to produce a relaxing inhebriation and is relatively safe with your stomache lining. Otherwise the night im plastered, and the next morning im splattered .

I'd have to say as much as possible. Usually he would drink 12-24 beers a night, and it was not uncommon to see him chugging entire bottles of vodka on "party nights". He would drink a beer for breakfast too. He didn't die though.. at least I don't think so.. sorry I said liver failure.. doctor said his liver was functioning at like 15% capacity and if he didn't stop drinking he would die. Last I heard from him he stole 1k from my friend and moved to Hawaii to go live and work on a papaya farm, that was like 3 years ago.

I enjoy red wine occasionally. I drink on average 3-4 times a year. Probably will drink a lot of red wine this summer. I can't drink hard liquors except for some of the more expensive ones--so my poverty definetly limits my liquor intake. One of my best friends from high school has been downing a case a night every night since at least 4 years ago and my father was a bad off alcoholic, seen countless friends get in trouble because of being drunk when they would otherwise have a clean record--I've seen so many negative effects that they greatly outweigh any positive effect from over drinking or drinking daily. The buzz isn't that great anyway imo, feels toxic and a false sense of happiness...bleh

feels toxic... because it is toxic. wasn't alcohol latin for poison or something? Ya I do drink from time to time - maybe 4 or 5 times a year, and probably only a beer, or a glass of wine. My friends and I used to get plastered all the time in early high school.. get some 40s or some liquor and go get wasted in the woods every day after school. Man that got old fast..I got it out of my system before I turned 18. alcohol poisoning is no fun either.. puking up bile and stomach acid is no fun. dry heaves for hours.. no fun. At least you can't smoke too much pot and get weed poisoning.
Don't get me wrong.. I can still enjoy a quality beer now and then. Just the whole appeal of getting drunk is lost with me. I don't enjoy it. Maybe I enjoy the temporary effects of "not caring", and being "more social" and whatnot.. but that doesn't make me any more social when I'm sober. I can feel what it does to my body and my body doesn't like it. There once was a time when I loved to get drunk.. that time is gone.

A huge part of my life is going to shows at 3 specific venues in the city and a big partof going to shows is drinking so I've sort of toned down my dislike for alcohol...once you're drinking 15 nights a month or so you learn the perfect pace for yourself.
Plus, I've realized that gin and tonic is a great friend.

Only bad gin, like the bar's stock gin, tastes bad.
Have you ever had Bombay Sapphire? Which barely tastes alcoholic when mixed well? And also Tanqueray is delicious.
