LMAO. Whatever jabroni, I concede.

I can't measure up to that big penis of yours. Shit, you might be the next Mr. Universe.

I like that name. Mr. Universe. Benis so big they call me buster.

Inb4 he dubs you as an elitist and tells you to go back to the roleplay section. Lmao, kid has been saying the same shit for years now.​

Then one of you testosterone-riddled edgelords prove me wrong for once.

Don't need to get new words for it when the laughs with the Base always stay the same. :')

While there may be a perception that the health risks of alcohol only apply to heavy drinkers, research is revealing that it’s not just drinking large amounts of alcohol that increases your chances of developing cancer – drinking small amounts can be harmful too.

For me to prove anyone wrong there would have to be an argument - and in this case there isn't. Researchers don't give a f*** if you want to drink casually or get wasted; the end results only come to one conclusion. Come back when your ass lands with cancer and tell me I'm an edgelord again.​

Yourself, maybe. Your friends, maybe. Your local area, maybe. Your country, hell ****ing no!!! Statistics seems to disagree with you on this one

I understand how badly alcohol reflects on stats but they put alcohol as the third most damaging lifestyle choice behind smoking and obesity. Which is exactly where i'd rank it, still campaigning that it truly isn't that bad. Stats will always reflect badly and look more dramatic than they are, that's not a British issue but simply the nature of percentages and 'alarming' statistics.

Maybe I really am desensitised but they really don't seem like ridiculous odds to me, even if we are higher than other countries. It's hard to imagine anybody here honestly excess drinking themselves into a stomach pump. Only talking personally, I know- but drinking really is a casual and intimate pasttime so I think it's the only way to properly address it, from personal experience.

I agree with this comment. Unfortunately, I'm Russian, so that's not an option. lol

Okay good play, I laughed at that.

To look cool, to get drunk, to drown their sorrows, to satisfy their addiction, etc.

Or maybe they just like the piss flavor? idk

If your asking why it's popular I think a big reason is it makes people comfortable and lively when they are around each other, I'm personally against looks like a social crutch and overall is harmful

I don't drink any more but when I did, it was whenever I hanged out with a few marines.
There's some people who will drink for the fun of it and others because they want to escape from reality.

I know an older guy who is a heavy drinker. Drinks every single day when he's not working going through cases of them for years. All because he's only son died and he's wife left him afterwards.

There are some health benefits with moderate alcohol consumption but too much for too long will damage your liver,etc.

It has been part of our civilization and culture. The question does not make sense. It is like asking why do people listen to music.

I rarely drink and even then I usually only have one or 2 drinks the entire night. But to your original point t. That's a question with many different answers. Most commonly, it's a time honored tradition that dates back for centuries.

While drinking was meant to be a social thing, many people take it to excess. As for the health benefits...there are none. But mankind does many things that are practically poison to our bodies so signaling out alcohol (though I agree with you) is kind of unfair in that regard.

The fact that it affects others like Drunk driving incidents, I don't get why is it legal.

Any vice can lead to distracted or irresponsible driving. Let's ban phones also, the second biggest contributor to car accidents.

Music does not give your ass cancer...
Drinking alcoholic drink does not give ass cancer.
Music does ear damage if excessive use.
Cancer is a random mutation. There are so many things you interact with daily and situation that might increase the risk.
Drinking raises the risk and . What do you pick?


It is wrong perception that people pick up a habit and it has to or it should have anything do with health. People do X thing because they like it. Fermenting and using food has been so common practice.

In modern society they research and changes are forced down in society. So some people do things like, I should do habit X because it is healthy because I am fat.
