Post by: diamondgeezer on October 22, 2002, 07:08:55 pm: I'm not a big drinker, despite my student status. Thing is, I can't stand lager, so when I do drink I'm on Mr Daniel's Old No. 7, which seems to have a delayed effect, and therefore doesn't kick in until later (ie. when I've gone to sleep). On the plus side, I've never had a hangover from it :)

Tip - they say mixing spirits and beer is bad? Mixing spirits and cider is worse. Avoid.

Just for the record, over my desk is a large green poster bearing the legend 'BEER - helping white guys dance since 1842!'

So there is an up side :)

Post by: RandomTiger on October 22, 2002, 07:35:11 pm: I’m currently experimenting with not drinking beer. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper for a start and hopefully I'll manage to stop or even reverse the emergance of a beer belly.

Drinking’s fun, especially when you start off and the hang overs aren’t too bad. But eventually you can get into just getting drunk for the sake of it. For now I’m bored of it and have done just about everything I could want to do under the influence of alcohol. Ah.. the stories :lol:

Hangover cures I've discovered in my time (more of a routine really):

1. If you can, drink loads of water before sleeping
2. Drink water as soon as you can in the morning, with any luck you will still be a little drunk and wont feel the hangover, this a good time to sort youself out.
3. Brush your teeth (this does wonders for me)!
4. More water
5. Fruit juices (Five Alive is good, not too sharp or acidic)
6. Food, have something quick and easy in stock
7. Shower
8. Dont stay in bed to long, it makes you feel worse! Seriously, if its a nice day go out, it makes you feel a lot better
9. Distract yourself from any groggy feelings by watching a film or play computer games

Also apparently bananas are good for hangover though I never have the forethought to get them in. Also beer itself can be a good hangover cure, however theres the obvious danager that you'll just get going again.

Post by: Fineus on October 23, 2002, 01:50:56 am: This is a question of perspective. A grown man drinking throughout the day and night to shut out life is a terrible and tragic thing. But a few drinks at a club/bar/party/whatever are all good fun and can help to make the evening go that much smoother. However alcohol isn't always needed to have a good time... I can never manage to agree with people who say they have to have a drink to enjoy themselves, but I can see where they're coming from if they were to say it can help in certain situations.

On the other hand yet again, some of the maddest nights I've been out on have started with some hardcore drinking games and gone steadily on to be truly rememberable after that. Sure, a hangover might be the next thing you have to deal with - but surely anyone who plans to drink that much should know what they're letting themselves in for. If you can't cope with a hangover then don't drink to much!

On the otherhand, if you're smart you can work out how to avoid hangovers by various methods - mine is a tall glass of milk before heading for bed. Whilst I might still get a mild headache it's clearly never as bad as it could be.

So... drinks good, it's not the be all and end all. And it's not necessary to enjoy yourself, but it has it's moments. Be sensible and it works out for the best.

Post by: mikhael on October 23, 2002, 05:42:14 am: Alcohol isn't a bad thing and it doesn't ruin lives. People with compulsive disorders and poor impulse control ruin lives. Alcohol's just a drink.

I have drunk myself sick once are twice--there's nothing like being bent over a toilet trough in a Tokyo nightclub because you sucked down too much absinthe. I've done stupid things that I'd never do if there wasn't an excess of alcohol in my system, like tell my senior chief in the Navy that she wasn't nearly as ugly and *****y when I was drunk. These things weren't caused by alcohol, they were caused by my failure to control my intake.

Post by: Tiara on October 23, 2002, 08:30:13 am: Alcohol destroys certain cells in your body if you drink of it too much. As a result certain organs won't function correctly anymore.

But if you drink say, a glass of wine a day the alcohol destroys the "bad cells" as well thus avoiding nasty deseases. Also helps it clean out vains.

It all depends on how much alcohol you drink.

Nah, don't think so. We for example have no drug wars. Since it is sold "legally" there is no for that. But when you look at guns.... They are very often used if they are allowed. Look at America with this sniper crisis (i know a bit big but this is what can happen).

Oh and just for a note, I'm in a legal drinking age.

Post by: Stealth on October 23, 2002, 01:00:16 pm: i also agree:

alcohol in good amounts is very vitalizing, and drinking a glass of wine every day is good for your heart! (i'm not saying that's the MAX you should drink, but i'm just saying that alcohol, in the right proportions, is good for you)

I don't believe in getting drunk all the time. in fact, i don't believe in getting drunk at all. people say i'm stupid, but getting drunk is bad for you. if someone busts out a beer or wine then i'll be the first to go for it, buti refuse to get drunk. hopefully i'll never get drunk.

What's funny is that the 'poll' is tied at 13 against alcohol, 13 for alcohol :D

EDIT: Carl, just noticed your post... i completely agree... in fact, my whole post that's what i've been trying to say. i just can't say it in as few words as you :o

you have to drink a HELLUVA lot of drink to seriously damage yourself.

Well, that's the thing; from what I have heard, alcohol has these addictive properties that make the person always crave for more, and the smallest dosage is enough to start the sequence. They say it calms your mind if drunk in moderation, but that is exactly what I want to avoid at any cost; brain must work at full power at all times for me. :p At any rate, alcohol is expensive and staying away from it saves money. :D

As for the legal aspect of it, as long as it does not affect the productivity of the people otherwise, I don't really care. When it does begin to affect that significantly, it should be purged immediately. This is the reason that many other types of narcotics are outlawed in most nations. However, this age thing for laws of any kind is just beyond ridiculous, both useless and discriminatory; either make the minimum age 0 or ban it altogether. :p

On the porn laws, it seems perfectly fine to me, or rather, no worse than making the legal age five times that; sex is dumb as hell anyway, but the ages will make no difference. (they can make porn movies of newborn babies for all I care; the problem comes up when it affects the economic productivity of the people)

Let me say this : Sex is great. As long as both people involved agree to it.

And about your 4 year olds... :wtf: They don't even know what sex is. Around the age of 13-14 you come to discover what sex is. I say that IF they want to they shouldn't be prohibited to do it. Its like drugs, if it is forbidden they'll do it anyway.

And I doubt 14-year olds even now how to really have good sex :p

that depends on the girl/guy, the sex and the partner,now doesn't it.;)

hey, most 50-year-olds who have been married 5-6 times don't understand all the answers when it comes to love, life and the pursuit of... is that a vulgar word, or are we allowed to say it on HLP? So that makes sex illegal for them?

Let me say this : Sex is great. As long as both people involved agree to it.

And about your 4 year olds... They don't even know what sex is. Around the age of 13-14 you come to discover what sex is. I say that IF they want to they shouldn't be prohibited to do it. Its like drugs, if it is forbidden they'll do it anyway.

I suppose bashing your head against a wall repeatedly is also great then. :D Also, the reason that people of any age "know" (or not know) about it is that the society imposes it as such upon them; expose a 2-week old guy to the surrounding culture and he/she will know about it too. The 80 year old guy is about as "emotionally mature" and "ready" as the 2-week old, or actually, I would even go as far as to say that half the time the baby is the more "mature" one by far.

logically, I should have to agree with you, (you don't have to do drugs, to understand that their bad), even though I don't agree with you. Because sex is not bad. It is a way of reproduction. And if it's also fun, and good, and good, in the process - why not.

I don't see how the act of reproduction to carry on species is dumb, especially from a scientific stance, quite an incredibly amazing feat in and of itself.

Also, we're obviously not as "dumb as the rest of the animals" as you put it because quite simply looking around this room I can see hundreds of arguments against that statement.

Humanity and society evolved from a level of comprehension that is above the animals, I can look into a mirror and understand that I see my (****ing gorgeous;) ) reflection. But I can also comprehend WHY I see my reflection. I don't think you'll find many (if any) animals that could do that.

Well, drugs are also fun; actually much more fun, since they (or certain ones) give you a kind of happiness that you will never experience otherwise. :D Reproduction is fine, if it is restricted to that (although even that is no excuse in this day and age; there are "artificial" fertilization methods available), but that is of course not true in today's culture.

People always give the good old reproduction argument for lack of anything better; you well know that the reproduction is not at all what we are talking about here, but rather sex as a part of the culture. (and otherwise, why the heck is everyone talking about "protected" and unprotected" sex? :p)

Beer is more of an aquired taste, but you tend to get used to it over time.

Vodka is nice, good thing about it is that cheap is as good as expensive at the end of the day.

Absinthe is where it's at though.

eh...that 69 again? What is so special about this number anyway? :p It has no number theoretic properties I can think of and it does not appear anywhere in special function analysis either. For example, 65 is indeed a special number because it is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two squares in two distinct ways and g is also special because it appears all over the place in limits, integrals and a bunch of other things, but 69 has really nothing going for it as far as I can tell.

Ok, now that you have the numbers on there side, completely disregard the fact that they are sideways numbers and compare them to the male and female form.

Well, that narrows things down considerably. Something related to sex I suppose then, since that was the topic of discussion before this 69 thing suddenly came up. I have not the faintest clue what 6 and 9 have to do with "male and female forms" though (the two "forms" are the same thing anyway); you might as well make it 35 or something... :p

well, compared to other numbers it is pretty boring anyway... :p (perhaps I am just spoiled here; after you have seen stuff like the gamma and zeta related constants and the khinchin constant, everything else looks a bit boring in comparison :D)

I think I know why you don't leave your house. There must be a line of people 10 miles long wanting to smack you.

Is alcohol itself bad? No. You can drink in moderation and still remain in control of yourself. Its the folks that abuse it that give it a bad reputation. Personally, I won't touch the stuff unless I absolutely have to. I've seen too many people killed by drunks, and I don't want to do anything stupid like getting plastered and taking out an entire family. I don't think I can really handle that kind of responsibility yet.

Well, basically there are four types of drunkness (at least in general): There's "go around singing happy songs and dancing" (that's me) drunkness, then there's the "start cussing and get generally pissed off" drunkness, then there's the "go straight to bed" drunkness (my dad) and the "get drunk and start beating my girlfriend with sharp objects" drunkness (my g/f's father).

That's ,of course, IMHO.

Post by: Liberator on October 27, 2002, 01:01:01 am: Forgive me for sounding naive.

've read the first few posts in the thread, so I'm not posting completely blind here.

Anyway, my personal view of alcohol and illicit drugs is the following: I shall endevour not to imbibe, inject or otherwise place into my body any chemical substance that alters my perception of the world around me. I'm screwed-up enough as it is, I don't need any help.

I also cannot understand the mindset that takes pleasure in doing so. Sorry.:blah:

Seriously though, it was only a figure of speech used to indicate that in my opinion beer doesn't smell very appetizing.

You realize that sex causes your body to start producing natural hormones and the like, right? While it doesn't get you 'high' it's a definate alteration of mood.

Plus it's a good cure for headaches. :D
