Well it got me really drunk, so i guess so. :)

But i only ever done it once, and never again.

I meant were you drinking Miller Lite, or were you drinking an Imperial Russian Stout? I hated beer myself until I started drinking the really strong stuff.



Miller, carlsburg. Things like that

Try cream/milk stout or chocolate stout. Only drink one or two, don't drink to get drunk, etc.
And wait until you're twenty one, of course :lol:

I love alchohol. I like the taste. I like the feel. I'm drunk.


It's rather like being drunk...

What's so bad about that?

Think about it from the glass of water's point of view.


I wonder if that made it in the movie?

I like to be inebriated in the weekends, makes everything go better socialy and stuff.
However, I hate being drunk. My mind fights it or something. Or because being an aspie I'm bothered more by somethings I just dislike getting dizzy.

Started at the late age of 16, drinking beer. Continued with beer through Uni, when I discovered various Euro-beers. Got very experimentive, vodka, gin, whiskey, scotch (unblended, single malt), tequila, mezcal, liquores, wines, various mixed drinks... Liked to drink, used to keep a bottle of Cointreau in my desk for sips when Mister Scrooge was away on business. As of the first of this year, the Missus and I quit, we both realized we'd gone too far. I still have a bottle of amaretto, and absinthe stashed away. Might get royally drunk when the Missus is out of town later this month ...

Tequila is one thing that I have never drunk because I can't get over the idea of the worm (even though the commercially available tequilas around here don't have a worm in the bottle - I still skeeve the idea).

I'll drink anything, but I LOOOVE beer, so I start to panic about weight gain and calories well before I'm getting drunk too often.

I agree. I HATED beer. And then I tried beer from Trader Joe's. It was called Boilerhouse Stout. It tasted of coffee and oats. And it was BLACK!! ! We held a flashlight up to it, no light. And it was GOOD. Point of the story? I now like beer.

I have an incredible aversion to beer - just thinking about it actually makes my stomach queasy. if someone handed me a million dollars to drink a bottle of beer, I wouldn't be able to do it.

I do like rum, rye, and vodka. Also some coolers - as long as they aren't too sweet - like Mike's Lite. I also like champagne and sparkling wines. Not a fan of red wine at all. I like liqueurs, like Kahlua and Bailey's, in very small quantites (again, too sweet).

Here's the thing - I like being drunk. I feel relaxed, I'm actually more sociable, and I don't give a rat's ass what I look like on the dance floor. BUT - I pay for it dearly. I have the WORST hangovers. Headache, nausea, dizziness, more nausea, shakiness, still more nausea, and occasionally even diarrhea (sorry if TMI). Because of this, I get drunk about once every couple of years - tops. The last time I got drunk was at a friend's wedding on New Year's Eve 2005. And I paid for it.

I hate alcohol, am allergic to it, never ever touch it. If accidently taste it (like mushrooms at a restaurant sauteed in wine) have to spit it out right away, makes me sick. Blech!

Mushrooms are one thing that I really detest - I would think that the mushrooms are ruining the wine :wink:

I don't drink, but I did drink wine in Communion during my four-year stint as a Lutheran.

I absolutely LOVE drinking beer.
I'd drink it every day if it wasn't for work and getting overweight if you drink too much.
But it has to be a certain brand though.
Bavaria beer or Heineken.
I pretty much only drink Dutch brands.
I can't stand the German or Czeck beer.

I also drink some Apfelkorn Vodka or Whisky at times.
But i don't like the taste of those verry much.
I usually drink those to get drunk fast and not take in too much moisture.
Because if i actually get drunk on beer i have to litterally go to the toilet every 3-4 minutes or so.

Beer is one of gods greatest gifts to mankind.
Beer/Sex/Warmovies 8)
Although none mix.
But that's a bit off topic.

Beer also makes me much more eager to seek social interaction.
I usually have much less interest in it than the average person.
But when i'm drunk i just can't get enough of it.
