Alcohol makes everything better.

Hate the taste, and an alcohol buzz makes me feel like I've got the fucking flu. Plus, I hate having to visit the toilet every 10 minutes. Never was my thing.
 
Lots of angry alcoholics in the family, though, so I don't feel I'm missing much.

It makes the friends youre surrounded with act stupider/funnier but Ive never been drunk in my life so yeah....

Drinking just makes me wanna dance, so yes.

Alcohol makes running a lot worse. Also, lifting weights. Also, any exercise of any kind.

I'm never depressed. Happy as can be.

Every post above this one needed more alcohol involved while posting.

Wow, what a bunch of sandy cunts the Off-Topic regulars are. Not that I didn't already know that, of course. Drinking is awesome, as long as you don't have more than a bit too much.

I've never had a drop in my life. So, no.

I used to enjoy drinking...alot, but now I have a condition that recommends I don't drink. It's better for me to just avoid it. It's really nice never waking up feeling like you want to die.
 
But hey I have no problems with people who like to carry on, unless you're a sloppy drunk, or an overly emotional one. Ugh.
 
I have made some pretty fucking dumb decisions drunk, including one that almost completely ruined the best relationship I have ever had and ever will have. All I can say was that it was a dark time for me...full of boobs. Crazy boobs. Like really crazy in the head boobs. 
 
Don't mix boobs and booze. Especially one's that aren't yours. That was a long time ago, thankfully I changed a bunch since then.
 
Funny thing is most of my friends have quit drinking and have moved onto more natural methods of inebriation. Lots of chilling out and listening to good tunes.

Enjoy poisoning your liver and fucking over your Health

Enjoy being a straight-edge and getting high off of self-righteousness.

Also, I know for a fact that Bulletstorm is way worse while drunk. Or it could be that I'm just terrible at video games while under the influence.

I drank so much this year I developed an alarmingly high tolerance for alcohol. Now I can get at least 5 or 6 beers (real beer too, not that pussy shit Bud Light) deep before I feel anything. Not necessarily proud of that though.

But I drink a lot to relax, not think about things. Rarely get hung over. I don't think it's a problem yet but I know it will be if I keep escalating, so I try to watch my limits.

I got my Christmas due next Friday, so I hope so.

What about liver disease?

@DrPockets000: Sounds like a good thing to me. Those who get drunk and 6 budlights need to graduate to real beers. I love drinking, and I think it enhances everything, as long as you can control yourself. Nothing is worse than someone who can't hold their alcohol. I think it funny how some people assume just becuase you drink a lot you can't function or have a problem. I say one thing to these uninformed people who watch too much Intervention...go to your closest law school (or any higher education institution that offeres more than a BA or BS) and survey the students on how much they drink. You will be surprised.

everything except your liver

In my case, it made things too good.

There's a fine line for me between very fun and not fun at all. Being somewhat newly 21 I'm still learning where exactly that line is.

Just brings out what I'm already feeling. If I'm in a good mood, drinking makes it better. If I'm in a bad mood, drinking makes it worse.

Plus it makes everyone that much more sociable.

alcohol!

I love that stuff.

I LOVE ACID.... Oh and alcohol. That's good too.

Pot, dude. Pot.

Ah to be a naive youth again. Alcoholic cirrhosis develops for between 10% and 20% of individuals who drink heavily for a decade or more. You shouldn't drink while you're fighing any viruses or infections, or taking medication. Otherwise occasional social drinking is totally fine. However, you are right. You SHOULD smoke pot instead.

Never been drunk so I'm not sure.

Go get drunk.

Dangerous advice to those that don't normally imbibe. Eat food, enjoy drinks responsibly. Knowing when to stop is almost a skill you have to develop. Drink a glass of water for every drink you imbibe (1 glass per 1 oz spirits, or 1 beer). You'll know when you're "buzzed", ignore the feeling that you want to get more buzzed to see what its like. That can lead to "Who is this stranger in my bed...wait this isn't my bed...." syndrome.

I get this too. Just stop imbibing for a few weeks. If you can't do that...then you have a problem.

I cannot relate.

I don't drink, and I never will.

Wouldn't this thread be more fun if we actually talked about what we drink?

I just got myself a bottle of Root and it's super tasty stuff if you like the idea of liquor that's full of awesome spices and lives off of being an old fashioned birch bark drink. http://www.artintheage.com/spirits-aita/

I also just scored myself a bottle of Dogfish Head's Bitches Brew which is three parts stout, one part honey beer. I haven't tried it yet because I'm waiting until Wednesday to crack it open with a friend, but I've heard it's pretty tasty.

I don't drink anymore more, but this is the best reply I can give:

alcohol does not make a failing liver better.

edit: i don't drink, i've tried it and its not for me.

Hungover right now... It dose not make mornings or food better,

I don't agree.

@StLucifer: you should try heroin then. man that stuff is great. you think getting drunk is cool. you wait till you've injected £20 of heroin into your favourite vain. getting drunk doesnt come close

I get miserable hangovers these days but during the times I am catastrophically ming monged everything is awesome.

Being in Texas, it's extremely hard to cop a beer like Bitches Brew. I love stouts, like meads, so let me know what you think of it.

I'm going to have to say that alcohol does not make liver failure better.

Yeah I like drink and it usually take quite a bit to get me "drunk". Always found that there is a weird area where around 7 to 8 beers my FPS skills (specifically) actually improve and I hit the zone, then after a sip of the 9th it turns quickly into randomly shooting at inanimate objects and getting lost. Not sure why that is. I no longer drink and play Bethesda games however as shortly after getting Fallout 3 and sitting down for a drinking / gaming session I woke up the next morning in the middle of the wasteland with no idea how I got there or what I was supposed to be doing.

drinking is probably not something you should make habit of

Alcohol, no. Cannabis, yes.

It absolutely can, but not always. I enjoy a good beer (stout, bock, wheat), or a glass or two of whiskey. I enjoy it moderately though, I tend not to drink on weekdays.

@JasonR86: Alcohol and Viagra on the other hand...

Nah man thats not how we do it around Giantbomb. First-timers gotta get BLACK-OUT drunk. I freakin' love me some alcohol duders.

Of course it does, when your life fucking sucks enough that you need to blur it with strong drinks. I don't envy you.

You don't have to blur anything. Just getting buzzed while hanging out with your friends generally makes everything more entertaining. And if you're at a party, it lowers social inhibitions which I find to be a huge plus.

I don't drink anymore, alcohol gives me the shits. I was at a party with a couple of friends, took a shot of rum and then 10 minutes later, i just couldn't hold it in, i was in the bathroom for an hour, my colon and anus spitting out things that Jesus could not wash clean.

I work hard, I play hard. Hahaha seriously though, what's wrong with a few beers after a hard days work or partying with your friends after a long hauled work week.? ...Nothing. There is nothing wrong with having a good time so long as you're having a good time and not causing harm to those around you. Drink, don't drink, whatever tickles your fancy.

No intention of ever drinking, but the guys I see when I walk past the pub seem pretty happy I guess.

Weed, yes. Alcohol, no.

True as a cucumber.

Al least, that's what she said.

Um, yes. Because...yes.
