[Discussion] Why do people drink?

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Oh my god how sheltered is this forum

It could be his experience with it and what others around him use it for.

I'm sheltered asf though.

Says the guy drinking "90% proof" liquor. And maybe you're just dumb or trying to be cool, but alcohol content percentage and "proof" aren't use together. It's either proof or the percentage, not both, since it's not the same thing.

And you can't really "tell" anything since you're drunk from apple juice.

lol no one drinks 100% alcohol, are you stupid?

 

[hypocritical]

Well firstly, alcohol was banned in the 1920s and that ended up in disaster. Organized crime rose to a whole new level. I'm sure you've heard of Al Capone.

Also I'm currently drunk; just took a full glass, not a shot, a full glass of vodka. If you've ever been drunk before or especially drunk with friends, then you'd know why people drink.

My grammar is still good. That's how boss I am when drunk.

God, a legend in our midst.... You're the guy to look up for if I ever want to get drunk.

I mean only reason i'm not is University but damn, some of these posters live in a different world where the rare drinkers piss themselves publically? I'm genuinely curious to know if it's age-based or country values-based.

100%? Where is that written in my post?

You compared 50% alcohol to "apple juice."

Who's bragging now? GTFO.

It's both, our perception of drugs is based on our personal experiences. Not every kid the same age has the same mentality, nor everyone from the same country. I know for a fact kids generally drink it to be able to get out of their comfort zone and do stupid shit for a good time. Getting laid being one of them so he's not entirely wrong.

But the mental image of people only drinking to pathetically 'pick up chicks' is hilarious and so, so inaccurate. Only girls i'll be picking up tomorrow night will be the best friends that are coming haha, maybe we'll make new friends?

This is the magic of alcohol-guided nights & I love being condescended to over it by anime fans haha

 

[hypocritical]

Once you drink you'll find out why.

Well I don't, and I know tons of its minus sides, and hardly is there any plus sides to it. I'm probably at a stage that I might never have a taste of alcohol till I die.

I'm not the type who brags and I'm definitely not bragging now about anything. I'm simply shooting holes into your bullshit, there's a difference. Your first mistake was labeling what you're drinking as "90% proof" vodka. So, like I said, it's either 90% vodka or whatever proof you really are drinking. And if you meant 90 proof, that's merely 45% alcohol content, and to become drunk from only 4 shots of 45% vodka proves you are a lightweight. How is that bragging? If you can't handle 4 shots that the average woman can, then you're a lightweight. Pretty simple, really.

Oh man, let me school you on drinking.

1. If you take shots with intervals, you won't get drunk as fast.

2. If you take those 4 shots in a row or in one gulp, that shit will hit you.


You obviously don't drink and you obviously never went to a liquor store or a bar for that matter. 60-80% proof is like the average.

Well too much alcohol is a bad thing. Too much of anything is a bad thing.

Just don't do it 24/7 and be hammered all the time.

Eh, I'm glad that you enjoy it and use it without it controlling you but I don't think the stigma behind alcohol is a bad thing.

Ironically with the stigma and alcohol, it's about moderation. There's really no harm or need for negativity during a night out when everyone knows their limits.

This guy doesn't agree with you:

Any amount of alcohol (no matter how little your intake per week/month/year) increases your chances getting cancer manyfold. Unless you're making discoveries that benefits humanity, you are wasting your life.​

I'm a little bit tilted to his opinion too.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Making discoveries that benefit humanity....I think you're getting alcohol mixed up with class A hallucinogenics?

Like, act elitist if you must but at least know what you're talking about.

And let me school you a little bit as well:

1. Taking 5 shots or 10 shots won't make a difference since how drunk you get is limited to your digestive system's absorption rate. Drinking interval only matters when your body absorbs all the liquid before you put more in it. I can take 10 shots in 5 minutes and be no more drunk than someone who took 5 in the same amount of time, the difference will only become apparent after that person's stomach has been emptied and mine hasn't and is still absorbing alcohol.

2. You're obviously bragging so you can come off as being cool because you are one of those morons who thinks drinking is cool.

3. You're a lightweight.

 

[Lightbringer]

I usually just drink fast and don't keep count so by the time I tell myself to stop... I'm already drunk.

Says I'm bragging, then makes a comment like this. Lol

Don't throw rocks in a glass house.

And for the record, no I don't think drinking is cool. It's just normal and fun under the right circumstances.

Hardly does anyone know their limit when it comes to alcohol, you just keep going and going until you get full throttle wasted (this does not apply to everyone though, but most)

You so :salt: your mind tricks you into thinking that I'm bragging. You're hilarious.
