Do you drink?

[Aust Diamondew]

I like drinking. It's fun being drunk. Now like all things you need to use moderation and it's a bad idea to drive while drunk, walking home is much more fun

I drink socially as do all 7 of my group's players. Some more, some less. There is usually some form of drink at our sessions, but not much as most of us have to drive a ways after we are done. Any drinking is usually done at the beginning of a 5+ hour session.

My preferred drinks are beer and mead.

I voted "very rarely, I just don't care for it much".

I want to drink - a cold beer looks so damn good after a round of golf on a hot day - until I take a sip, and it tastes like .

Drinking is not my thing. I could see drinking wine for the health benefits, since wine helps your heart and my family is big on heart attacks and such, but in general, drinking isn't attractive to me and neither are people who do.

I'm a diabetic (type I) so simply with regards to that, it's somewhere between rarely and no. I do enjoy it, but it's honestly not worth dealing with the aftereffects on my blood sugar levels. I've probably consumed just over a bottle of wine in the past three years total, though once research progresses to the point that I'm no longer diabetic, I'd probably increase my consumption more at social and special occasions.

I think Dakkareth and I share the same philosophy on drinking - I like to maintain control of my mental faculties.

I got drunk once. It was three-sheets to the wind, nearly unconscious drunk. I didn't fool around. I even threw up some black stuff - probably part of my lung. It was horrible. I did it once, I think just to say that I did it once. I'll never do it again.

For the most part, I hate the taste of beer, though I realize that not all beer is alike. I just don't have the patience or budget to try all the kinds of beer in the world, so for now, "I hate beer" will just have to do.

I do on occasion buy some wine coolers, and will drink those from time to time. But that's about the extent of it. If I'm at a place like a comedy club that has a drink minimum, I usually order a Tom Collins. It's like alchololic lemonade. At one time I had the stuff at home to make those myself, but that was a very rare thing to drink one.

While I'm technically underage here in the States, I'm not in most other countries. I was polite and had some wine and such while in France, but its really just not my thing. I don't like the taste of beer, wine, or pretty much anything else with alcohol. Part of it is probably an aversion I've built into myself because my two parents screwed themselves up because of drinking(Dad is still recovering from really screwing his life and mine up when I was younger and Mother is, and has been, dieing for the last four years because her liver is essentially nothing).

And besides, I've got coffee, coke, etc...those are far too addictive as it is.

Aside from a couple of brief periods where I drank quite a lot (such as when my fiancee left me), I tend to restrict the drinking I do to the weekends. About once or twice a year I'll get pretty toasty, but for the most part I prefer to have one drink on a Friday and another on a Saturday. Mellows matters out without getting out of hand.

I never have and I doubt I ever will.

My father and I have made wine for several years. I rarely drink during a game.
