As a kid, I tried alcohol with my parent's blessing and thought I was the coolest little shit on the block.

As a teen I continued to drink from time to time because I could but quickly came to realize how little I liked it and I Realized I was just doing it to be cool. It never had an effect on me no matter how much I drank; I never got a buzz or comfortably numb or anything like that. It just tasted bad, was expensive, and made other people idiots I didn't want to be around.

As a young adult and legal drinking age, I got bored of it but people still thought I was fun to party with so I drank until I was blackout drunk (Took a full 40oz on my own), and haven't drank since then. I just don't see the appeal and only ever did when I was an insecure kid trying to fit in and be cool. Now I'm just my own person and I not only don't drink but don't smoke or do any drugs. I just don't see the appeal and don't understand people who do. I like having my mental faculties, thank you very much.

Man, this lockdown is threatening to turn me into a damn alcoholic haha, so damn bored all the time I'm constantly tempted to drink just for the sensation and stimulation. I'm trying to limit myself to only drinking during my fortnightly zoom hangouts with work friends, for the sake of my liver.

Has anyone here tried Strong Zero/-196/Double Lemon? It's this Japanese drink that's recently come out in Australia where they deep freeze a lemon to -196 Celsius then crush it and mix it with vodka and rice liquor. It's freaking amazing.

Are there any other flavours? I can see a watermelon tasting great frozen in liquid nitrogen lol

Not that I know of but that does sound really awesome haha.

Well, personally, the main reason I drink is to take a break from the often terrifying and demanding nature of reality and just enjoy feeling relaxed and spaced out. I don't think to the point of being sick though, it's a fine balance you gotta hit.

I don't smoke or do any illegal drugs though; I have no desire to get lung cancer and I don't wanna go to jail.

That's what video games are to me. I use them and movies and my writing career to get away from the realities of this life.

Me too actually, all of those things. (Though writing for me is a hobby, not a career)

Alcohol is more something I do when I hang out with friends to ease the bite of social anxiety.

Nice, I'll have to get around to trying out both someday, especially grapefruit, that sounds like it'd have a nice bite to it.

The standard lemon one immediately became one of my all time favourite alcoholic drinks.



Well, tonight's my once in a fortnight zoom hangout with my work friends which is the only time I drink these days. (I still can't believe I essentially get paid to drink with my friends haha)

Gonna make some Honey Storms; honey liqueur, lime juice, and ginger beer. Hope its as good as it sounds. If I post nonsense later it's because I had a few too many haha.

I don't drink.
I don't smoke.
I don't use drugs.

Giant waste of money.
Rather put that in games or a nice steak
