How important is alcohol to you?

Over the last year or two i've kind of went through my wild time, when i get drunk usually once or twice a week (went through a good few benders as well) and when i get drunk i usually get really drunk. Now i only really do so if a friend or girlfriend wants to, truthfully though it does nothing for me now. Kinda like weed which i noticed i was only really smoking because my friends did, haven't smoked it since 2012.

SEX, DRINKS AND METAL!!!!!!

I drink when I'm happy and sad. I love it

Not.

If I actually liked the taste of it I wouldn't mind driking it occasionally, my comment was more related to drinking regularly then occasionally.

Close-minded you say?

Chocolate and beer is no more arbitrary than haggis and pineapple pizza calzones.

Haggis is delicious. Pineapple pizza is awful.

I don't drink because I hate the taste of alcohol, so if they ever ban alcohol here, I might not even notice.

Or you'll be an old timey prohibition agent.

The sound is off on my computer right now, so I'll have to watch that clip later, but I doubt I'd ever stop the rest of you from drinking. If you guys want to drink, get drunk, and act like idiots, that's your prerogative. Just don't get behind the wheel of a car and kill an innocent bystander.

haha. Will do gbg, wasn't aware drink driving was bad apparently.

I drink it daily but not in same amounts of course, more at parties, few beers normally. I could live without it, but we would rather develop an illegal way to get it than to remove it totally, it's all about **** the system in my city

I think banning alcohol is a ridiculous idea. We saw what happened during the American Prohibition, the whole industry went underground and fuelled crime. The same will happen in those Indian states. You think the husbands of those abused women will just give up drinking and become lovely upstanding citizens? It's those men that should be stopped from abusing their wives not stopping every other law abiding person enjoying a drink. The politicians should try implementing measures to stop domestic abuse not stooping to garner votes from women. Honestly, sorry it's making me mad! I hate that kind of kneejerk politican guesture.

AND UNDERAGED ANIME GIRLS. DON'T FORGET ABOUT LOLIS!

They're both awful. Just like beer and chocolate is awful.

CALZONE. Pineapple Pizza CALZONE.

I always hear this excuse and it always baffles me (just as the +7 rep baffles me).

Does it not say something about the product being banned itself that people were so desperate to keep it around that they went to extremes to keep producing it? Would we have had such an uproar over banning some incidental consumable that wasn't addictive?

I'm not sure how a ban can be blamed for crimes it isn't criminalizing.

Sure, if you ban alcohol that makes criminals of all alcohol dealers, but when those dealers go and buy guns and people wind up dead because their business has gone underground, I wouldn't blame that on the ban, I'd blame that on the idiots that think alcohol is so friggen' important it's worth shooting someone over, and I'd question whether that dangerous behavior can be blamed on the drug they're trafficking.

I agree with all of this:

I guess I would like to make myself drink a little more just so I a) have the option in social situations without getting tipsy so easily and b) have the option if I need to relax before bed, or something. I hear it's good for that. That's the main reason I'm considering forcing myself to drink a bit semi-regularly. But I will, in fact, have to force myself, because I find it pretty hard to enjoy.

I suggest Pumpkin Spice Soymilk.

Is it technically possible to buy that without wearing a scarf/shopping at Whole Foods? Because if so, I'm in.

Oh yeah, no, I don't wear scarves, just lots of belts.
