I want to get a vague idea of the feeling in the board due to recent experiences.

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

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

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.

Do you mean whether or not I would use it myself?

Gee,  I dont know,  i think it give liver cancer,  it destroys few neurons of the brain,   you can hurt people,   you can go to jail if excess of alcohol in the blood,  you can die,   what else?  I dont know,  let me go ask the people of the graveyard,  lets see what happend to them.

I think that about sums it up for me. Unless it allows one to do more/faster math, I am not interested. What there really, really needs to be is a drug that speeds up brain functions by orders of magnitude...

Just keep away from the ole' Pangalactic Gargleblasters, and you should be OK

[CODEDOG ND]

Drink here or there won't hurt, but excessive drinking and drinking and driving is just flat out stupid.  Sorry, I'm not going to kill some family just because I was driving around ****faced.

[demon442]

Alchohol is actually quite good when drinken in moderation and drinken right(eat, water, ect.).  I've had quite a few fun times drinking some of the harder stuff at bars and ridin arround yelling at ho's and **** like that.

Note: By harder stuff i mean:  vodka, MadDog 20/20(not the hardest but it tastes great), Smirnoff Ice, ect.

[Stryke 9]

Personally, I avoid the stuff, but anyone's free to all the chemicals they want- I ain't gonna bother them, even moralize to them, so long as they have the same courtesy towards me when I spark up, on the (rare) occasion that I can both afford a dime bag and find someone with extra.

[Kamikaze]

I've heard that a small amount of of it is good for you... for example red win occasionally. But really I can't stand most types of alcholoic drinks I don' t like beer and don't really like wine either.

I can tolerate plum sake though

[Knight Templar]

I'm not as a heavy drinker as i should be :wink:  but yeah, red wine is supposed to be good for your heart i beleive, like a glass a day.

MY dad has a beer occasionally.. the stuff reeks. (Jack Daniels i think) just doesn't do it for me.

Mmm, good old vodka slimes....

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.

[Unknown Target]

Well, I heard that if you drink one-to-two glasses a day, you can cut your risk of heart cancer and stroke, among many other things.

[mikhael]

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.

My thoughts exactly. It is good, until your overdo it.  

One more thing, if there is one thing I hate, then that is drunk girls. They just seem.... off.

(not the horny drunk girl kind, the other one)
