i dont drink alcohol, i honestly dont understand why anybody would drink it. it something that makes you lose your sense's and lose a grip on reality. its addictive and harmful is so many ways


I drink because I like the flavour of some of the beverages and rarely ever actually get drunk...

Drinking =/= drunk. 

Drunk =/= totally fucking wasted, which is what you've just described.


to each their own. but drinking, even if you dont get drunk, is still harmfull. i understand that drinking a bit isnt like getting drunk though but as i said, to each their own. i have my own logical reasons not to drink. 


Almost everything is harmful. Don't do enough exercise, even the healthiest of foods can cause issues. Alocholic beverages, in moderation, are not harmful in anyway that is either long lasting or even noticable. 

I just don't understand why people see drinking as this black & white thing - either you drink to the state where you pass out, or you don't have any. Having a glass of wine once a week is about as harmful as having steak. More to the point, when used correctly, alcohol can help enhance flavours of certain food and vice-versa.

If you think wine and whiskey taste the same then that's like saying oranges and apples taste the same.... :s

The only thing that can be drunk from that glass is Johnny Walker Black. Fact. 

But what if I said that I didn't like fruit? It doesn't matter if the fruit changes, I would still dislike fruit as a whole.

Anyway, if I do drink, I'll drink Vodka. I don't think it tastes great, but it's different and I enjoy the kick you get from it, a bit like you do with spicy food.

 

If you said you didn't like fruit then go to a doctor because a) you'll have most likely nutritional deficits, and b) that's simply not natural, as in literally not natural. 

No you can't dislike "fruit" as a whole because what links them is not their taste and that is what you are judging them by. That'd be like saying "I dislike the colour red, therefore all red cars will be bad to drive" Eh?

No chance i'd ever touch vodka - smells like nail polish remover xD More of a wine man myself. Ever tried wine that's been aged in oak casks? Really nice kick to it without being as "offensive" as spirits.
