Booze sucks

It could be worse. They could be welsh.

Or a Roman Catholic convert.

Getting drunk is only natural :

Those marabou storks are evil though - instantly reminded of Irvine Welsh's book...

For some reason I looked at them and thought of razor gangs. Must be the cough medicine.

No kidding? Yes, red wine with red meat. White wine with white meat. You're quite the connoisseur, aren't you?

Incorrect. White wine is for getting ladies drunk so they're more malleable and should never actually be consumed by a male.

[SlowwHand]

Oh, good. Yet another "witty" jackass.

[snrjefe]

Hmmm, it would seem that your original post to me was a better example of "witty" jackassery as my preceding post didn't really say anything to indicate that I consider myself a connoisseur. If you want to get a rise out of me, you'll need to try harder.

I guess he's saying "as a smartass and a jackass, you'll fit right in around here. Welcome to Apolyton!"

I can legally buy alcohol now and it's all ****ing terrible. All of it. Every single thing I've tried, to include red and white wine, beer (one of those fancy schmancy expensive beers mind you, not coors or budweiser), vodka, whiskey, they all taste disgusting. Hard apple cider is acceptable but apple juice and regular non-alcoholic cider both taste way better. I don't really see the point, since I'm not interested in the psychoactive effects. Basically, from what I can tell there are no alcoholic drinks which fit the following criteria:

1. I would drink it if there were no alcohol in it
2. There is no non-alcoholic alternative which tastes better

So what the hell is the point?

P.S. Beer wins the award for dumbest ****ing drink ever. It made me retch.

You waited until you were 21 to drink? I bet you'd have given up your guns to George III as well. After all, you've got to obey the law.

Forget booze. Smoke weed.

[rah]

Yeah, I guess I missed that at first.
I don't know anybody that waited until they were legal to try it. He is quite a character.
And you need not make a choice, you can do both.

Son, never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.

This.

[Hauldren Collider]

What if he just thinks booze tastes bad?

[kentonio]

Then he probably wouldn't have said..

I don't really see the point, since I'm not interested in the psychoactive effects.

Although why he couldn't just say 'I don't want to get drunk' is beyond me.

How do you even get to 21 without having been blind drunk a few times anyway? Isn't that pretty much an essential element in growing up?

[Hauldren Collider]

I just kinda hate booze. Personally, I keep trying new kinds of alcohol and I keep hating them. To get drunk would involve forcing it down, and I don't need to be drunk to enjoy myself, so what's the point?

I actually enjoy alcohol-free parties more. They seem livelier to me, in the sense that the conversations are livelier. People aren't too busy trying to get laid to just chat.
