I have been drunk earlier, it didn't help and made me feel bad later on in some cases. I've had fun too since it really is easier to let go, but I found out no matter how much I drink I'm still ruled by my conscience and I don't really change in how I act except I laugh more. It's just not for me, I have some very bad experiences concerning alcohol and leaving it at that since I don't really want to discuss it on a public message board. The last times I drank it was because the guys from work had a party and you can only say no a certain amount of times before you become a total social reject. And being at a party as the only one 100% sober isn't all that fun. Now I went back to studying so it's been close to a year now I guess. I don't think anyone drinking is bad, alcohol can bring out the worst in some people but then they are that way already so it's not the alcohol that's at fault, it's the person. Party on and have fun, don't mind me. I'm 25 btw if anyone is wondering.
What's the thing about the big screen TV btw? I've seen it a few times but have missed the original thread about it. I have a kinda big TV, 36" and weighs about 200lbs, does that count? Or must it be some 5 yard projector thingy?

Quote: To illustrate how I personally feel about it I think the world would be better without it and I would say no to a million dollars if an alcohol company wanted me in a big commercial.
No, a world without alcohool would make life impossible. The perfect example: at a certain point in russian history, they tried to bann vodka, because of the high number of the drunk people. The result, ignoring the mass production of moonshine vodka, was that the number of suicides greatly increased. As vodka was re-legallised again, people were happier with their lives again.
But really, me personally, if I wouldn't have alcohool I would probably kill myself. I just can't imagine a life without alcohool. And music. I could't live without that either.

What can you expect from a world where everybody lives because they're too afraid to commit suicide?

Yeah, the world is a f***ed-up place where people stab each other from behind and alcohol is something you really need to feel relaxed and get your worries away.
But the best thing is that if you´re already happy for some odd reason, you can still drink to celebrate your happiness.

My current appreciation of alcohol.
Of all the things that I have done with my neighbours, since moving into my new house 6 months ago, getting loaded with them on the weekend has been the most enjoyable & therefore, my favorite. When we drink together, we have fun, we share embarassing stories about our past, we sing songs, and we get to know each other better.
We had spent time talking on different occasions, without alcohol being involved, but we always seemed to "keep our guard up" and we were basically "feeling each other out" while "keeping up appearances". So, we were not bonding in any significant way.
Well, since we have started hanging around and boozing it up every once-&-a-while, we are starting to become true friends. This might not seem as hard as you might think, but when you consider that we are very different people, it is amazing to believe that we get along so well. For example, my neighbours have a 10 year old child (my wife & I have none), they are at least 5 - 6 years older than us, and they have very different jobs from us as well.
On the other hand, my other neighbours (who I have rarely even spoken to) are the same age as us, work in the same fields as us, and like the same sports as us. The only problem is...they don't drink! We have never had an opportunity to "break the ice" with a glass of red wine or a bottle of beer. So, every time we see or speak to them, we have a brief casual conversation that never leads to anything meaningful.
It's kind of sad really, but maybe when the summer rolls around again next year, we'll get together with these other neighbours around the BBQ and fire up some steaks, pork chops, & hamburgers. I just hope they aren't Vegetarians too...
P.S. If you only remember one thing I say to you, let it be that alcohol makes you funnier, sexier, stronger, and a better singer (Just like William Hung)

Hmm, just stepped by to tell you I'm proud I am Bulgarian
Two weeks ago there was a car accident where a completely sober man hit another one who had 0.914 % alcohol in his blood !!! Yes, that's right 0.914 % and even after the crash (it was not his fault, he had been driving very cautiously) his mind was clear! And he said that he didn't drink that much .
Btw this is equal to 50mg vodka injected directly in you veins!
EDIT: Oops, I forgot to tell you about me and alcohol. Well, we are old friends with this buddy. Now i am 17 and i started drinking when I was 8. Don't look at me like that, I'm just kidding , at that age I only drunk something like a glass of apple or briar wine. But then I went to school(I mean high school) and all of a sudden I was surrounded by people drinking. Sometimes we were going to parties every day and night. And of course you have to drink when someone gives a toast. And this happens all the time . Sometimes I counted drinking 15-20 small glasses of vodka. Once there was this botte of rum on the table and somehow my glass was allways full and suddenly the bottle was empty . I got drunk to the point where I can't control myself only two times. But it was very funny in the morning. I didn't remember anything after 2:00AM and my friends had to tell me what have I done. And they said they had a very good time laughiing at me It was real fun but after this I had a bunch of girls to apologise to . And I have to tell you that drinking does NOT injure the brain! It's all about the quantity and quality of the drinks you drink and the frequency. I participate in all the competitions in maths, computer science, chemistry and biologgy and usually I am in top 3 . So drinking doesn't conflict with studying and mind activity.
Here I should put some kind of conclusion but I'm not very good at literature and i will only say this : go to parties, get drunk a few times and if you still don't like it don't drink but have in mind that one glass of vodka or gin or tequila or rum(be extra careful with this) won't hurt you at all. Noone forces you to drink, noone wil laugh at you if you don't want to but you will be better company. The real problem is when you start to drink just for the taste of it, when you become obsessed with the thought "When shall we drink?", and when you hit someone with your car because you can't understand how drunk you are and that you shouldn't drink.
P.S. I don't like beer. Hang me!
P.S.S. And I never had headache in the morning. I wake up in perfect condition.

-Alcohol smells awful, so there's no point in me even trying to taste it.
-Developing an addiction could ruin my life.
-Learned in school about the bad effects of alcohol.
-Learned on The Simpsons about the bad effects of alcohol.
-Drinking too much will make your mind all weird.
-Drinking too much makes you relieve yourself in public against your will.
-Drinking too much can make you vomit; I've a weak stomach and I hate vomiting!
-You're not supposed to drive after you drink.
-MOST IMPORTANTLY: My girlfriend-to-be would not approve of any drinking/smoking/etc.
Moral...ANYTHING to keep her happy!

I know some of it smells awful, but you don't want to die never trying alcohol... it can be really great sometimes... and how come you're letting your girlfriend-to-be influence the things you do?

Subject Digression: Girlfriend
Quote: and how come you're letting your girlfriend-to-be influence the things you do?
She means everything to me. She's the only girl who has ever given me a chance throughout high school. Coming from a conservative family, she wasn't brought up wild and adventurous like the rest of her peers, and shuns drinking, smoking, sex, cussing, etc. I want to be the best person for her; I hardly get to see her more than once a week. She is very shy, but she is also very pretty and very intelligent. Furthermore, she's going to leave our state for college later this year; I hope I left something positive for her while she's away. She's a major influence, continuing to occupy my thoughts each day. That's my reason.

Of course, you do what you want...
It doesn't seem you have much motive to try alcohol anyways, but just don't get caught in a life of trying to make others happy... living like that, you'll often neglect your own needs...
Remember, it is fun to try new things... don't hold back. A little bit's not going to kill ya...

Well it's either 0.914 (which is amazing and Unbelievable) or 0.0914 (Which is weak).
0.914 is an incredible amount. That would be like 35 shots of vodka?
