Thread: Tell me what it is you like about alcohol

Hey! I'm not a mean drunk. I just don't like having to deal with people I don't like :p But I could see drinking with you, you seem like a good drinking partner. But that might just be because I get a Russian vibe off you, and everyone knows that Russians make awesome drinking partners. (grats on the blue, btw)

Hahaha well, I definitely can't hold my alcohol like a Russian, or a Norwegian either!! But yeah, most people tend to like me when I'm drinking.

I should say to a point. Once I get a few too many in me I get all sloppy and don't know what I'm saying.

Things that make me chuckle sober, make me laugh my ass off when wasted.

It takes care of shyness.

i like nothing about alcohol

Based solely on your answer I would say that you are a phaggot.

technically im only half of one

I've only been drunk once before, I didn't find it too enjoyable. Even the really cheap, stomped on, dirty, bullshit weed you get from highschool kids when you're too poor to afford anything decent is better imo. The first little while, the buzz, was fine I guess but then I just felt sloppy - like when you're burnt out but not as pleasant. Maybe I was doing it wrong (lol) but I don't get the whole allure when it comes to alcohol. It just seems like a waste of money and time to me. =/

One time I got fairly buzzed (I think) at a big family Thanksgiving party (before I was legal) and my dad made a joke about me drinking that I don't remember, it was probably a light hearted jab at best, but I started feeling really angry and put off, and went to sit on an empty couch away from everybody else, fuming and being misanthropic. I think I was about 18/19, and this side of the family was very liberal, so they weren't too strict when I went for the booze. Now I'm 21, and it's still hard to realize that I CAN drink whatever I want, wherever the hell I want, whenever the hell I want. It just doesn't sink in yet. I oughta get legitimately drunk one of these days... hopefully I'm not an angry drunk, it's not fun feeling like that. I felt pretty fun on some shots of champagne on New Years.

Also, I'm pretty wild and sociable around my mom's boyfriend when we're all hanging out together, high on nothing, so I doubt I need to depend on alcohol that much for social situations.

I know people who drink and they become a bit more likely to find amusement in things. But is that truly a valid, truthful way to meet someone (or simply talk to) someone? I'd want to know the real person, not the person they are when they've been drinking.

Drunk people certainly act different compared to when they are sober, but I am not so convinced that drunk people are not "themselves" (whatever that even means).

I also disagree with Puffin. When people are drunk, the masks they use to cover who they really are fall away.

But that might only be for some people, maybe antisocial people.

I keep forgetting the legal limit for drinking is 21 in the US. It seems so bizarre... At any rate, yeah, getting drunk on family occasions can be a bit embarrassing at times. It's best avoided

What people think and feel is important, yes, but aren't their actions most important of them all?

The sex can be really fun. Other then that I don't like drinking that much.

Been drunk at least 10 times, blackout drunk like once, completely wasted a couple times. I don't particularly like it, probably won't drink so much in the future- doesn't really change my personality. Makes it more difficult to process whats going on and relieves a little stress I guess, but I'm a really laid back guy so it doesn't really do much; the only practical use I could see is that you can supposedly perform better sexually- go for longer (maybe you just think that), don't know as i've never had drunk sex . Imo the drawbacks of feeling like utter shit for a day don't equate to a night of dizziness. Thats just me though, it affects everyone differently.

DRUNK sex does not feel as good as sober sex. However this depends on how drunk one is. Alcohol is a depresent and affects all sensory information. You last longer but it doesn't feel as good.

Except when drunkenness leads to sex when soberness wouldn't .

It can be hard to get it up after too much booze though...

Right. And then depending on who you found yourself with, the final outcome might turn out to be an embarrassing attempt at crappy sex and long-term awkwardness in your relationship...

But sometimes it all works out fine.

The feeling of intoxication is great. You do crazy ass shit, even more crazier than your normally would, and everything is hilarious. The feeling of your head floating is fun. The feeling of not giving a fuck about anything is fun. Getting wasted is great fun, just do it with the right people. I personally don't get any hangovers, just slight stomachaches. The key is staying hydrated obviously, drink A LOT of water/juice before going to bed.

PS: Gatorade is a GREAT chaser. You don't taste anything. Don't breathe through your nose when taking a shot.

What I like about alcohol?

That it helps heal wounds, and that no one's forcing me to drink it.
