I don't . Not that I haven't but I don't understand the fascination. It smells, has a boring taste, and makes you fat. What is the attraction?
Boring taste? What have you tried? Alcohol isn't limited to cheap stuff. There's some genuinely tasty stuff being made that, if you make the effort to find it, is totally worth it.
beer is worthless to me, even the better brands are not really that enticing. I've had brandy which was decent, but I don't know if I want to make a habit of it, wine of course. If mixed with something tasty, alcohol is ok but still by itself I don't understand the fanatic devotion, especially to beer.
In the words of the great Hank Williams Jr: So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke?Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? And the answer to those questions: to get drunk, to get high, and I think to get laid
this most certainly does not have a boring taste. If it wasnt 3am and I didnt need to finish this paper I would be drinking one right now
I drink to get drunk generally. Sometimes I'll drink to get buzzed and sometimes just to enjoy with my meal. Not all booze tastes great but theres plenty that does.
I drink because I have varying tastes. I drink an array of things from white and red wines, different beers, vodka, rum, tequila, whiskey, Dr Pepper, Sprite, Coke, Ginger Ale, Gatorade, and water. I've been drunk probably 5 times in the 4 years I've been drinking. My different tastes in drinks is why I drink.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. -Dean Martin
Because boozing is fun. You get all ****** up and make an *** of yourself around other people doing the same. It can lead to stories otherwise impossible. I remember one on the old board about a guy who got caught by his girlfriends dad. Dad puts guys burnt belt buckle in his mailbox next day, then somehow it ended up guy was invited to huge family dinner. A lot of alcohol went into that chain of events to determine the outcome, as it has many other stories. Such as the throwing of a coke at a mute (or was it deaf?) guy's junk. Alcohol makes better stories.
Because wine and beer are delicious and their various incarnations and subtle differences are part of the spice of life. Because good scotch is incredible. Because many mixed drinks are fun to experiment with and discover what you like and don't like. Because introducing alcohol can enhance certain social situations. Because food can often be appreciated in a deeper way with certain kinds of alcoholic beverages.
because how else am I going to end up in some random Vandy girl's room in NOLA with no memory of how I got there?
Why eat spicy food? Why buy a a red car instead of gray one? Why talk to a hot girl instead a homely one? I drink to make other people more fun.
