Only during a large family dinner, which is like 1-2 times a year.
I like the taste of sake, everything else tastes horrible to me.
"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
Nah I spill most of it....
Socially, but I'm not very social. =P Also don't like wasting the calories.

That'll warm you up on a cold winter's night.
Not often at all, but I really enjoy it when I do.
About 3-4 times a week. I wasn't gonna drink tonight, but after seeing this thread....I'm starting to second guess myself.
Ah yes, and it's always vodka for me. And yes, I binge drink also, I'll knock down 3-4 mixed drinks in the first half hour.
Also, I've been doing some experimenting with my usual cocktails:
1. White Russian - but now I add a splash of Bailey's Irish Creme - it adds a nice almond flavor.
2. Cape Codder - here I add a splash of DeKuyper Razzmatazz schnapps - kicks it up a notch.
Usually only on special occasions, and even then just one glass or two if not at all. Like, wine on christmas or New Year's, not much else really. I don't like beer so there's that.
| Zkuq said: I hear I get more talkative when I drink, but that and losing my balance are the only differences I've personally noticed. Oh, and feeling really bad if I take too much. Drinking doesn't seem to affect my thought process or state of mind almost at all. Mind you, when I said 'drunk', I mean like properly drunk, not a bit tipsy or anything. Getting a bit tipsy has the benefits you mentioned in moderation, but getting beyond that doesn't seem to have any further benefits in my opinion. Whenever I see drunk people, I can't help noticing little things that seem really ridiculous to someone who's sober. It's usually nothing major, but still something I would call more or less ridiculous or stupid. Obviously it doesn't happen with everyone, but I see it really often when people get drunk. That confidence you're talking about sure has an effect. Thus when you're drunk, you obviously don't think of stuff you (or even others) do as stupid. |
That seems a bit strange... you make it sound that there would be nothing wrong if you example were drunk and drove a car :P
And to answer the question, yes I drink. Usually with friends at some party or something. Some months it might be that I don´t drink at all and during some months it might be two or three times when I get at least a little bit drunk. When I drink I usually want to get drunk unless its something good that I want to just drink for the taste, like some nice pale ale or red wine.

I kind of feel like most of this is not true lol. I was talking about this to a coworker who has never drunk before about this. Drinking, being tipsy, and even getting drunk gets a really bad rep that I think scares people off from trying alchohol. The biggest thing is that how being drunk feels largely depends on your personality. If you're someone who constantly worries about impressing people in social situations, or classically freezes when they see an attractive person they want to talk to, or is stressed out about things constantly, drinking can dull those apprehensions and give you a confidence or a worrilessness that yeilds positive results. And that wave of confidence is more fun. And the fact that most people enjoy drinking is evidence that most people need that boost. The problem is that too much of anything is bad and fear, much like pain, surves a purpose that can have detrimental effects when numbed too much. But that all comes down to being responsible and having reliable friends to make sure you're not overdoing things. I've gotten drunk plenty of times without being ridiculous. Most people don't act ridiculously when they're drunk. And sometimes they do. People act ridiculously sober too. I think that a lot of people who don't drink would be much happier if they did once in a while. |
I've heard this explanation quite a bit from people and my only concern is that sounds like a dependency. Needing to find a drink in order to get self confidence is a potentially damaging excuse, though personal moral barriers on dependencies will always vary person to person. I, for one, am trying to kick a coffee dependency, as I've gotten worried I can't get any work done without it. That might not matter to most, but I'd like to avoid it.
As for social stuff, I feel like I'm better off building my own confidence rather than needing something to make me confident, especially something that's damaging in excess. I can't imagine spending my whole like feeling like I need alcohol just to have a good time around people.
