Fair enough I take back my dig, but...

You do know you don't have to get completely hammered right? I've had alcoholic beverages since I was 14, there's been ups and downs but since 2015 I've decided to no longer have hang overs but just stopping by 1am and switching to water.

The main problem is people see drinking as an either don't at all or over do. Where as if you have in moderation and don't get completely shitfaced you usually end up having a good night that you can recall.

This coming from someone who more or less admits he's been a problem drinker.

But I haven't more or less admitted nor am I a problem drinker :confused::confused:. If I have I'm not sure how it would have been possible...

Enjoying some Jack Daniels whilst chilling at my ma's is fun though

One of the coolest things in life is enjoying alcohol with chill old ladies.

Old ladies have, to a one, all seen some poo poo and generally welcome any excuse to laugh and blow smoke.

People know what they do; frequently they know why they do what they do; but what they don't know is what what they do does.
I like how this thread devolved into people giving actual reasons defensively, as if any drinker is actually berating people with liver problems lol. The people who are annoying are the ones who don't drink by choice but have no discernable reason and are condescending assholes about it. Literally no one is making fun of the guy whose drunk uncle beat him and so he doesn't drink lol.

E: at least I hope no one is. :ohdear:

PS: I drink a lot.

Nothing defensive going on here nossir

I have a coworker who has been sober for a number of years. He's a really sharp guy and also kind of an rear end in a top hat.

If you have experience with any other mind altering chemicals you'll know how retarded alcohol is

If you have any knowledge of how mind altering chemicals work and their side effects you know that only alcohol and benzos will actually kill you from withdrawals alone

Its just the worst, dirtiest drug (except like robotripping or some poo poo I guess). It's really fun in middle school and high school but if you're a grown up you should try to maybe branch out a bit from baby's first intoxicant

"Tiny Trains"

What I don't get are people who seem offended if you don't drink and make a huge deal out of it, like it's some cult or fight club or what ever. I've known a wide variety of people and never was anyone made to feel uncomfortable for not drinking. If you're a weird awkward nerd or rear end in a top hat people will give you poo poo about that, sober or not. If someone has a good time at a party or what ever and doesn't drink no one even notices. If you're a super awkward straight edge dude terrified about "losing focus" and sit in the corner judging everyone and rolling your eyes at drunken fun, everyone's going to notice that and think you're a weirdo. Not because you don't drink but because you're a weirdo. Just like the one lady who takes a bunch of pills, drink way too much and cycles between crying and violence will absolutely be looked down on for being a damaged gently caress up.

At least the drunk gently caress up generates funny stories. No one talks about the hilarious time the dude in the baggy black dress shirt scoffed from the sofa at those poor weak fools who need intoxication to have a good time.

Wouldn't know mine died from alcohol which I only told you cuz you pryed and that compounded with my other reasons is still not reason enough for sobriety for you.

I just hate people that treat anyone for not drinking alcohol as weird as evidenced by this guy.

City of Tampa posted:

people that don't drink are weird and creepy. When someone says that they don't drink I wonder to myself "how many people did you kill in your DUI, creepo?" or "please don't try to scam me into coming to your church"

That's like treating everyone as weird cuz they don't also smoke weed. Or don't also smoke cigarettes. Or don't also play world of warcraft. Or don't also engage in casual sex. Just douchey to not live and let live especially with something as unarguably as dangerous and life destroying as alcohol.

Also, the idea of someone chilling with their cussy mom and enjoying liquor is nice, and I wanted to be counted as an approver of it.

It's all good, all I did was answer the question posed by the threads title. Glad to see people are mostly just messing around and not actually the jerks I thought them to be.

Again, I don't have any problem with anyone drinking, I haven't ruled it out for life, but I haven't done it in quite some time because of the aforementioned problems. I have a problem with people who get "weirded out" or actively hate on people for not drinking as if it's some default activity all human beings should do akin to breathing air though, that right there is just lovely.
