Alcohol Discussion Thread I: Drunk Spirits

[Islamic Holy Sites]

Lemme start off by saying, I believe Alcohol should be restricted. Maybe not banned, but restrictions should be placed.

And also. Holy Bananas. Theres an alcohol discussion thread??? Hmm, Ima start a discussion thread as well. "Discussion Thread Discussion Thread 1"

That would be useful.

I thought you meant Tequila v Heineken so maybe the problem wasn't your spelling after all

no, I did put a redundant e on the end of le guin.
I dunno what to tell ya, man. When I'm tired I put more e's in the things. I can't explain it.

E for respect

Imagine doing everclear shots with your friends. Literally 2 shots in and you're wasted as hell and struggling to walk.

Pretty sure that stuff is only good as a cleaning product.

as the producers put it, you're supposed to use it as an ingredient, not drink it straight.

My argument for keeping alcohol legal: the work week. Know what I'll be doing tonight.

I had a friend who would drink that shit straight out of the bottle.

Isn't it like 95% alcohol? I assumed if you drank it, one shot would leave you wasted.

And I'm gonna be hiiiiiiigh, as a kite by then.

~30% in the poll want alcohol banned?

Lame.

Well, sure. If you want to light your drink on fire, float a bit of that shit on top and you're good to go.

I guess if used as a hand sanitizer it would, but it will also clean your bong real good.

This is why I only advocate using it as a cleaning product, not a beverage.

Can everyone here remember the first drink they had in a bar?

Mine was pretty memorable. I was doing an exchange to Italy in high school and we went to a bowling alley that had a bar and then only hung out at the bar (I assume that the bowling alley bit was a ruse by our hosts so they could pretend they weren't just taking us out drinking). I ordered a B52 with one of my friends, which the bartender served in a martini glass, set on fire and gave us straws. Our mission was to drink the drink before the straw melted. I succeeded, she did not (she had to blow the drink out and drink from the glass).

I've had many B52s since, but none have been served on fire, so this place was pretty special.

Proposition: (most) people who drink beer either prefer the taste to the buzz, or they mistake the buzz from the alcohol for the buzz from the company.

I drink enough when I drink that I couldn't mistake the buzz of the company for the alcohol. When I drink, most times my BAC is somewhere between .10 and .14.

Rubbing alcohol is cheaper, but doesn't mix with Hawaiian punch as well.

A G&T. I was at a bar with my grandmother when I was 6 or 7 or something, she'd ordered it for herself but got it mixed up with the lemonade she'd bought for me. Not that I drank much before she noticed that something was wrong with her drink.

First drink in a bar..... I was underage drinking 25 cent a glass Genesee cream ale, in a fairly sleazy roadside bar.

nah, you soak fruit and spices and such and use the infusion as a cocktail ingredient.

Probably a Hoegaarden beer. It's a Belgian white.

No idea to be honest.

I like how you think you have to explain what a Hoegaarden is as though their beer isn't everywhere.

[Stellar Colonies]

I've tried alcohol a few times and have consistently hated it (indescribably weird and repulsive in my taste). That's entirely separate from considering its legality, which from the perspective of where I am now, am supportive of having it legal with regulations.

If I lived in a society which only recently discovered alcohol though, I can only imagine what I would think of this new drinkable drug.

[Koletsia]

Alcohol causes more problems than it is worth. That being said, as people generally drink for the effect of ethanol, if it were criminalised or at least taxed highly while harmless substances such as cannabis and LSD were made completely legal in all aspects for adults and I guarantee you will see a steep drop in all sorts of crime. This was the major problem with prohibition in the US; people had no other outlet to relieve tension.

You have a point.
