This is a thread about whether you drink any type of alcoholic beverage (like beer, Vodka, Whiskey, etc.)?

I was just curious as to what percentage of CAG members drink. I thought there weren't many people who drank here, but the number of people seem to be higher than what I imagined, so I decided to start a thread about this.

For me, I'm a non-drinker (although I'm 24 years old). I had a sip of beer several years ago, and I thought it didn't taste too good, so I never wanted to have a beer again. I don't drink any other alcoholic beverage since I feel its best for me to not become an alcoholic, and I was abused a little as a kid because my Dad had too much to drink at times. I also don't understand why people feel the need to get drunk, to have any fun (I just play video games to have fun). I'm also not very comfortable around alcohol, because if I see it (like when I went to a DDR party), I left really quick.

Oh well, I'm kind of curious to see what CAG members stance is, on whether to do it (how often), or a non drinker like me.

EDIT: To let everyone know, I am away at college, where drinking occurs a lot. I honestly feel my parents wouldn't approve of me drinking, so that's a small reason why I don't bother.

Who needs drinking when you have a PSP and a PS3?


Hell, I've heard that Sony products can stop alcoholism!

*grabs popcorn*

I don't drink nor do I like to drink ever. But after watching beerfest last night I got all beer crazy and had the urge to drink a cold beer. >_> Imported of course, none of that american shit.

"I drink at least once every week or two"



i drink a few times a week..i think im an alcoholic. the euphoria i am under when i have the right drunkness down is amazing to me...but also dangerous. I hate the idea of drinking alone though. I took a few shots of tequila by myself thursday, felt pretty depressing

OP, it's cool that you don't drink but you shouldn't be afraid to be around it. You're missing out on a lot of great stuff socially.

I guess I'm a drinker but I haven't had a drop since New Year's since my wife was pregnant and we don't go out much anymore. I do love beer though.

I only drink mixed drinks (White Russian, Irish Bulldog, Zombie, etc.).

Even then, I drink very rarely.

For whatever reason, I just don't drink (I'm 24)... I've had a number of sips over the course of my life, but never had a full drink. All of my friends drink, and it doesn't bother me, I just have no interest.

I drink as much as I play the ps triple. Which is never.

aym drwnk ryte nao WOOOOOO I LUV TIHS SONG!!!

hell yea!

Whisky straight every couple of weeks normally. But I haven't drank since I think mid-April.

personally if you haven't tried it, don't knock it. people don't NEED to get drunk to enjoy anything, its the effects of alcohol which leaves many inhibition-less that makes certain activities a different experience. I don't have a problem with people that don't drink because they don't like the feeling of being buzzed or drunk. But I don't understand how you can make that judgment without experiencing the feeling yourself. just my 2 cents.

That may just be the saddest sentence I've ever heard for so many reasons.



And I drink wine almost nightly with dinner, and occasionally a beer or two.

I wonder how long until this devolves into a bitchy flame fest about the evils of alcohol.

And to answer your question OP, I drink on Friday and Saturday night. Usually Milwaukee's Best Light or Canadian Club but it gets changed up every now and then. I'll be getting Miller Chill this weekend.

I drink about once a week, only on the weekends, and when I'm not on call. Probably closer to every other weekend.

I don't drink beer, only wine and hard liquor.

I did abstain from drinking until I turned 21 while at college, as my RA job could be compromised by underage drinking.

Word.

Also Mana Knight, like someone posted above, most people don't NEED it to have a good time. Alcohol just tastes good (mixed drinks that is).

Thats like the three shittiest beers you can drink (you're only missing Steel Reserve).

I drink every other day (usually Harp or Leinenkugal Honey Weiss for beer or Rum & Coke or Screw Drivers for mixed). Beyond pot, drinking is the best way to unwind after a day.

Imported of course, none of that american shit.

Since you don't drink, you shouldn't make blanket statements like that. There is some damn fine American beers and there is some serious piss being imported.
