Hahaha....that was a honest reply. I agree that beer is not for everyone. There are many people with high threshold and the limited alcohol content of beer does not make them feel drunk at all. This is the reason why they opt for harder drinks.
I respect and adore what you just quoted. But sadly, there are times when I really don't want yo drink but my force me to grab a drink. I try to refrain to the maximum I can but sometimes the situation gets completely out of control.
The party would "continue" when I got home too, I'd drink another 2-3 before heading to bed (or passing out.) I'll admit I loved to drink a lot when I was younger. I drank beer after beer, on an almost-empty-stomach (for a better beer buzz) - and I wouldn't eat a thing the whole time. Not until all was said and done. If I was still awake, I'd eat something right before falling asleep, but most of the time I would just doze off and wake up all hungover. Then the hangovers went away because I just got so used to drinking. Now, I don't drink much at all. Maybe a glass of chocolate wine/half a glass, but I stay away from beer. THAT wakes the beast and I will want 7 more. I guess it's safe to say I'd drink about 8 beers total at a party. 5 at the party, and then another 3 at home while watching TV late at night.
Omg...really. Don't mind but it is really hard to believe that a hard core drinker like you has come down to such a low alcohol consumption. If you have really done this then you can set an very good example for all those who want to avoid excessive drinking .In my 20's, I would drink A LOT at parties. And also into my early 30's as well.
Ahhhh the good ol' days...
I agree with your point of enjoying while watching other drinkers behaving irrationally. I remember the days when I was pregnant and avoided drinks. Too see others behaving in a weird manner gave an equal amount of fun. I loved each and every bit of it.Oh, it's possible. I rarely drink at all now (for obvious reasons) - and the reason I choose something like chocolate wine to just sip on at events is because I have absolutely no history with it. I never cared for wine much, and especially chocolate wine reminds me more of chocolate milk or a health drink or something. It just doesn't wake up that thing inside me that was so used to drinking beer in my younger days. But to be honest, it's still a lot easier just to get a club soda with lime and lots of ice cubes. It really can be fun watching everyone else get drunk around you while you're still sober. Something interesting happens after a few hours, they all start believing you're intoxicated as well. Or they simply don't care because they're having so much fun themselves. You're free to act however you want and that "social pressure" is lifted, because they've already lifted it for you, and they are no longer judging you (or themselves, for that matter.)
I agree as well always drink responsibly.
I disagree. It's very much possible to enjoy yourself without passing out from drinking too much and waking up the next day with no recollection of what happened.
Maybe for a person like me who really don't like much beer, that's too much.
Chocolate drinks in the party are good enough. And they can be good for the health if you ask me. It's not bad to have the chocolate drinks.Oh, it's possible.
