Do you drink?

[Desdichado]

Never have, never will. Doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I really enjoy a beer or two once in a while. I'm diabetic too and it isn't the best thing in the world for me but I've learned to control the blood sugar thing reasonably well and I don't drink very often so what the hell.

The ENWorlders I've met probably think I drink a lot because I most often see them at Game Days, and I almost always have a couple of beers at dinner before and after the Game Day. It's gotten to the point that they know what beer I'm going to order at the After Dinner at Rock Ola Cafe.

I'd say that on average, my wife and I probaby drink one six-pack between us in any given two week period, plus a bottle of wine once a month.

I am quite capable of acting like a complete yahoo without the help of chemical inducement, thanks. If I'm going to intentionally injure my brain, I want a little bit mor to show for it than a hangover

I went with the social and at meal time option. I am long past my days of partying, I left those back in college and the years just after college. I do however enjoy the taste of a fine beer with my meal or in the evening. So the fridge usually has at least some flavor of beer in it, but the binge days are long gone.

I barely ever drink now; maybe a beer every 2 or 3 months. But I like alchohol...all alchohol. Of all the drinks I've ever tried, ouzo and grappa didn't suit me. I used to be pretty hard core; drunk every day and twice on my days off. I'm a happy drunk. I can't be made to fight or even angry. I do silly things that sometimes endanger my wellbeing, but damn they can be funny.

Having realized that, I stopped. I did my bit in the war on sobriety, and I retired with honors.

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 .

There, that's me, too. I keep tasting my man's microbrews, but never yet have I tasted one that made me want to drink a whole bottle. The smell of hops is nasty to me (same for coffee). I also have a very low tolerance for alcohol, and I find the sensation of being 'tipsy' very unpleasant. It's like having "medicine head", feeling like my brain is encased in a helium balloon that's floating about 20 feet from my body. Not at all enjoyable.

I have a lot of (non-gaming) friends who don't drink. So I don't think it's really a gamer thing.

That said, I do drink, but pretty rarely. When I drink, I do it with the purpose of getting drunk. Technically alcohol abuse, but I can't understand why I would drink with any other purpose. Drinking for me is something I do at most four times a year.

I voted for 'Socially in moderation', but I really need another category above that, but below 'almost every day'.

I usually only drink once or twice a week, but I have been known to drink as much as 12 or 15 pints in one session (although I try not to make a habit of it ).


glass.

I dislike the feeling of being tipsy to the same extent that I enjoy the taste of beer, wine, and most booze. Therefore, I drink often, but never to the point of intoxication (one to two beers, shots, drinks, or glasses of wine every couple of days).
