I'm the same way though, the only alcohol I take in is from little German chocolates.
Many years ago during a summer in Germany I watched an unusual classmate attempt to get drunk off of those little chocolates. Needless to say, he ended up feeling quite sick from all the sugar before he ever reached intoxication. (On a morose note: that kid collapsed and died in the middle of the day a couple weeks later, rather inexplicably from an unknown heart condition, but that had nothing to do with the chocolates.)
Wow, that's crazy that the kid died. D: Anyway, I'd like to point out that other things mix better with chocolate- namely THC and shrooms. I had some killer chocolates last weekend and WOW. It was a spiritual journey, to say the least.
And yes, I drink alcohol on a fairly regular basis. As always, it's used to make good times better, not to deal with issues!

I also love how these threads always have a tirade of kids who's never tasted a drop of alcohol before coming in with lectures about how stupid drinking is, implying all sorts of crap about alcoholism and how a single sip of beer will make you a raving maniac with no self control.
To be honest, I've never really tried alcohol... willingly - my older sister once put a little in my drink at a gathering when I was about 14, and I spat it out, because it was a different taste to what I was expecting.
I don't think I could be bothered with alcohol, because for me it would just be an expense - something I could do without.
Yes. I'll be happy with apple juice and orange barley drink.

So very true.

I noticed the same thing. XD

I am of the opinion that the world would be worse off without alcohol, sure it does cause some people to act like idiots but it also provides a lot of people with a means to wind down / relieve stress / loosen their inhibitions / have fun. Without this release people would have a greater chance of cracking up and doing something really stupid or crazy (I'm talking a lot more destructive than putting a traffic cone on their head). As for the notion that drinking is stupid well I am sorry but the majority of the world thinks you are stupid for making this assessment.
True. I bet most of the people who are hardcore against alcohol on this thread have never really been exposed to it. Maybe you tried it and thought it was gross, or you were exposed through a complete moron's irresponsibility, but alcohol isn't all that bad. WWJD? He drank alcohol! And don't even try to say it was just grape juice. The first miracle he performed was to make wine, while everyone was drunk at a wedding.

Absolutely not. They are as bad as smoking if not worse. They are very, very dangerous and thank god I don't touch that nasty stuff. However, my grandfather and step-grandmother drinked on special occasion, but they quit on that habit. However, my mom and step-father are much worse on that habit. In summer of 2008, my younger half-sister told me that when my mom and step-father were drunked when they are gone. At midnight of July 5, 2009, I knew she was right. While staying at my mom's cousins house, I asked if I could go with Tammy, Brad, and Cassie, she said "GET OUT OF THIS CONTROVSTATION" with her yelling out of her lung. I litterally cried. I couldn't belive that my mother actually did this. To this day, I can never forgive her for what she done on that day.
So to this day, I never drinked. I will never taste alcohol at all, not before, not ever. This makes me glad that me and my brothers live with my grandparents in Midland. Sadly, my half-sisters don't get the benefit of living with a non-alcholic drinker and I'm worried that they might turn out to end up like her.
Alcohol is very useful. For centuries alcoholic beverages provided hydration and sustenance in a world lacking modern sanitation and knowledge of foodborne pathogens. Without alcohol civilization would have stagnated. I've been at both ends of the spectrum, from Xstraight edgeX to an admitted alcoholic in my 30+ years.... like most things, even video games, moderation is the key. Now I just got home from work after a long day, so it's time to crack open a cold one. I know i've had too many when I get on the shop channel and download something like Blue's Journey.
