So what i get from this is that you life with your friends is shitty without alcohol, and you people are incapable of creating entertainment without the assistance of mild alternating drugs.
Drinking isn't fun hanging out with friends is fun people just wrongly connect the drinking with the friends. Because they use alcohol as a crutch to do things they think is fun but are too ashamed of being associated with such acts.
Hum i wonder if there is a study on telling people there is alcohol in their drinks vs not telling them ofc with the usual double blind part etc. And what is observed with there is alcohol present vs not.

It's like drinking soda, you hardly even taste the alcohol. Then why not just drink soda??? If you're just drinking for refreshment, then yeah it's pointless, but if you're trying to drink to get buzzed/intoxicated then it's pretty obvious why you'd rather drink it. and don't get me wrong. I'm not into alcohol, and I generally stay sober even at parties, but it's pretty easy to see the appeal of it.
Then at which point i ask why isn't everyone shooting up drugs, cocaine heroin etc to get their highs. There is nothing quite like the high given from heroin want to have a fucking good time take heroin. Frankly i see it as public perception that over the years alcohol has been accepted due to its affluence as a form of safe drinking water in the past

Agreed, and I'm a incoming college freshman who has gotten used to 8$ bottles of vodka xD.

I was the same as you.
Then I joined the military and went to college.
Suffice it to say, any form of hesitation towards drinking anything alcoholic is loooong gone.

Some beers are good, I'm not a huge fan of wine though, but I love soju, some vodkas, rum, etc. All depends on what you mix it with too, but i don't mind some alcohol straight up.
im exactly the opposite, prefer beer over soju/vodka/rum - i only drink the latter to get buzzed faster lol

If you're at a party, alcohol (in moderation of course  ) does make it way more fun, when else does a guy to dance to Telephone and not get shamed by his male friends?

How can you not enjoy an ice cold Heineken on a warm summer day. It's just so good.
Also, not all wines are sour. Try a really fruity one from the Tuscany region.

Look man, it's just one of those things that you're going to have to experience on your own. You can speculate all you want, but some of the all-out funnest/funniest moments of my life have been born from drinking and going out with friends. I think a year or two from now that if you could read this post again you'll feel slightly foolish

You see, I'd spend that 8 dollars for a two-weeks supply of 100% pure orange juice from Minute Maid (or for less, the Rougemont apple juice from concentrated). I think it's healthier, too!

I think we also experience humour when we are not high. For example watching a comedy.

American and Canadian """"BEER"""" is absolute shit and should be purged
All that pussy "BUD LITE" crap is a fucking disgrace to men the world over. If you have to drink a beer ice cold because you'd puke at the taste otherwise, something is amiss.
A pint of stout is damn good shit.
I'm mostly with the OP on this one though, most alcohol just tastes bad to me.

I share your feelings, I absolutely HATE the way alcoholic beverages taste, I have searched for a drink that is appealing to my taste, but I have not found it.
The times I tried some mixing, but I feel that I'm just drinking juice or whatever the mix is, so I only drink it straight up.
Maybe I just need to be more open minded ^^

thats cause the waterish brew you call "beer" over there is terrible :>
at op, if you dont like it dont drink it. i started drinking alc at like 13 cause laws are much much less restricting here on that (beer/wine legal at 16, rest at 18) and its kinda standart. but ya,if you dont like the taste or getting drunk there is no reason to force yourself into it .
also what kind of weird wine are you getting if its too sour? you should def get some nonshitty stuff before you judge.

this. nice thing of living in bavaria. i have like 5 different international award winning breweries in a 100km radius in addition to all the standart big ones and some very small local ones. also <3 the"Reinheitsgebot". no artificial shit in our beer or you get stoned to death !

I don't get it. Beer is fucking delicious.

Drink soda then.
People have different taste, alcohol isn't distasteful, you just don't like it. It's so popular around the world because there are a lot of other people who love it. I for one find any sweet drink absolutely disgusting but I can understand that other people might enjoy them.

Well I didn't buy it xD. And I can get a months supply of delicious 100% apple juice from sams for 8$ as well. So BOOYA!
In time you will learn to enjoy it. Just make a drink with Vodka + Cranberry Juice (first think I ever drank), and have a lower concentration of vodka. Then increase concentration as tolerance builds. YAY!

Dammit you are not the first german to tell me that :<.

first of all the beer you drank is some shitty brand(you cant taste the "ethanol" in good brands of beer/wine).
second of all beer is first and foremost a mean to cool down, and/or get a buzz. Lemonade for example has a taste that is far more disgusting then beer yet everyone drinks it. Cos it's a good way to cool down.
third, recently i've been drinking pretty much cocktails instead of shots, they just taste better and allow you to spend more time sipping before you get completely wasted.
And forth and foremost, you are unmanly;(
Anxiously awaiting on your follow up blogs on how suits and dress shoes are uncomfortable and how it's not fair that men have to approach women instead of vise verse.
|
The occasional beer or wine with food is always good. Sometimes I'll have a glass with me while I'm playing SC2 or watching a movie.
Only when I'm out is when the strong stuff comes out. Vodka, tequila, wihskey... All disgusting but they get the job done. I don't think I could ever drink $8 vodka though, that's some pretty gross shit hahah.
|
Semantics, if you don't drink that's fine and totally up to you but to totally blow something off like that when you've never tried it... :| What I get from your post is the image of a close-minded individual determined to stick to the 'path of righteousness'. "you guys are unable to have fun with your friends without the presence of mind-altering drugs", "drinking isn't fun hanging out with friends is fun" wat.
It's like SC2-bashing, and we're all tired of that yeah?
As for the OP, beer is definitely an acquired taste. I haven't met anybody who adamantly refuses to drink wine either though, most people find wine okay but that's still up to you. I would recommend trying some of the fruitier (girlier  ) drinks because hey... they're pretty good. A nice rum&coke never hurt anybody (actually it might have).
|
I'm only fifteen and never really even been to a party where you would have beer so I haven't tasted it. But I hang out with my mom a lot and she drinks and the even the smell of the beer makes me go blah. I puke really easy so I'm not even going to try any alcohol because I know I'm just going to spit it out. My brother tried it when we were kids and he spit it out immediately but now he likes it.
