I read somewhere: Kids think that the adult drink is coffee, teenagers think that the adult drink is beer/wine, adults think that the adult drink is water.

You have to find the right booze for you … actually you don’t have to, just drink whatever

… and it’s not food based innuendo??

Honestly, that’s one of the better outcomes. Alcohol is pretty dangerous and I’ll applaud someone for abandoning it for any reason.

I stopped drinking alcohol for around 8 months and I must say beer is the most horrible drink out there, I don’t see anything redeemable about it.

But I like whiskey, aguardiente, vodka and especially, wine. Still not worth the cancer.

Yes. Drinking literal poison is indeed… Ass.

Beer is ass. Pour me a glass of wine.

Can’t relate, fuck I love having a glass of whiskey in a thumping queer bar

I mean don’t get me wrong, I dislike most alcoholic beverage. Just a few strong alcholol and cocktails.

If you try to give me beer (whether and it’s a good one or cheap), wine (any), champagne (same), to me they taste bad. Like different bad, but still bad.

For a French girl, except for baguette, I don’t like much french stuff after all (no stinky cheese either or any stereotype French weird food)

The trick is to become addicted so that the bitter, solvent taste triggers the brain chemical anyway.

I was 19 and I was at a friend’s place. Her brother came in with a bottle of Smirnoff and offered us a glass. I was like “I’m not old enough” and they respected that. Then they opened it and I was like “did you also bring cupcakes?” It was the booze I was smelling. I asked for a glass. They told me to sip it. By the time they were done talking the glass was empty.

I look back on that night now and just laugh. I don’t drink anymore.

the smoothness and juiciness if her drawings are just incredible.

The culture around it=> yes. 100%.

You know how they portray the local sportsbar in soapsseries as “just the good ol guys hanging out”?

Now think of what that looks like irl.

Not the same is it? Oftentimes it looks more like a bunch of cavemen inching towards a riot. And if it isn’t that it’s probably very sexist talk or such.

Aside from a few stupid years where I was trying to silence God and my inner turmoil rather then admitting that one wasn’t real (to me, you do you if that keeps you going) and the other was me trying to break free. I cut down alcohol as far as, maybe one or two drinks on occasion (being once every two/three months or so). And even that is … meh.

And a big part of that is, the feeling of hiding. Being drunk is just another escape from being truly yourself. Sure, you get the giggles and whatnot but at my age that feels very empty. And disingenous.

What I still hate is “how about you? A beer or some champagne?” And oftentimes I’ll just have the one drink and slowly work my through it eventhough…I kinda don’t want to. But I also don’t wanna deal with the “oh come on, just have one it won’t hurt”.

I’ve seen some people go down some very dark paths because of alcohol. And that alcohol is usually there to patch up some old wounds.

I’m starting to sound like an AA member here but you get the gist of it.

It was always ass, bet we all just picked cheapest shits. Now, with own ID, You can taste good things, and compare… then compare more, then compare more. Find better, more suited for personal liking.

Also… oh afaik You’re youngling, but recently, so many new things happens, all in and around alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and sodas and sparkles and such… it’s only harder and harder to pick the best one… but also, many should fit at least good. GLHF finding Your fav (and enjoy it, until they stop making it, they will, only to start the seek again).

I still drink sometimes, but at this point the most prominent effect is usually a headache, so it doesn’t feel worth it very often
