Alcohol is the single most destructive drug in our society. trust me on this one.

... it's quite sick that we have created an appreciation thread for it.

BEER....

BEER....

BEER....

removing self-control.

Was she clothed?

No, it's probably messed up shit before then too.

Kindda funny someone with the name batesmotel, a hotel in a movie where the main character is a psychotic killer, is demeaning alcohol.

I'm leaving this thread now, gracefully. (heh)

My mum once said " I can't understand why people drink alcohol"
I wished I'd had a video to capture the look on her face when I replied" You know ma, if I was rich I'd be an alcoholic"(I was j/k)in reply to THAT look of hers..."Yep, all that luscious stuff on the top shelf I'll never get to try in my lifetime"lol
Guess who has a dear friend's birthday tomorrow and guess who just got back from gazing at yummy things at a liquor store? Especially this close to Christmas , all those cocktail gift packs, 10 year old Bushmills!!,$200 bottles of champagne..**drool, drool**
She's getting Midori, btw.
Cheers

I drink in moderation...now,btw. Still ike to look though.
 
When my wife and I were honeymooning in Florida several years ago, we ate at a Miami Subs, kind of like Subway or Blimpie but a little nicer. This one sold beer and wine, or you could get a whole bottle of Dom Perignon for $99.00, which seems a bit much to pay for anything at a fast food joint.

It's not sick to have an appreciation thread for something I like.

As long as you drink alcohol in moderation, you're ok.

I agree with you. There was an alcoholic in my family. Not good.
 
if you use guns in the right way, they are good things. but it is still sick to have an appreciation thread for them...

get my drift.

Your gun analogy is way off base.

I respect your opinion. But it would be much appreciated if you didn't invade this thread and claim it sick just because you don't like it.

Thanks

Damn it I vowed not to touch any til New Year and everyone keeps mentioning it or bars and pubs I go passed. Even my own wardrobe is against me cos I have about 6 cans in it

batesmotel a lot of things in our society have significant draw backs, one of them definetely being alchohol.
but there are also benefits brought to society via alchohol.
it is important to understand and respect both-this is how you will lead the healthiest life.
if you yourself don't wish to consume that is all well and good, if you don't want it in your house that is also fine.
but don't tell me that i am doing a disservice to society when i have a party at my house and get drunk, go upstairs and fall asleep. or go out to a bar--get loaded!--and take a cab home.
it's like encouraging people not to eat cheese because some portion of society eats too much cheese and dies of clogged arteries.

GREAT SONG!!!!!!!

ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER

Wanna tell you a story
About the house-man blues
I come home one Friday
Had to tell the landlady I'da lost my job
She said that don't confront me
Long as I get my money next Friday
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent
And out the door I went

So I goes to the landlady
I said you let me slide?
I'll have the rent for you in a month
Next I don't know
So said let me slide it on you know people
I notice when I come home in the evening
She ain't got nothing nice to say to me
But for five year she was so nice
Loh' she was lovy-dovy
I come home one particular evening
The landlady said you got the rent money yet?
I said no, can't find no job
Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent
She said I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job
Said I seen you today you was standin' on a corner
Leaning up against a post
I said but I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day
She said that don't confront me
Long as I get my money next Friday
Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent
And out the door I went

So I go down the streets
Down to my good friend's house
I said look man I'm outdoors you know
Can I stay with you maybe a couple days?
He said let me go and ask my wife
He come out of the house
I could see it in his face
I know that was no
He said I don't know man ah she kinda funny, you know
I said I know, everybody funny, now you funny too
So I go back home
I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent
She said yeah? I said oh yeah
And then she was so nice
Loh' she was lovy-dovy
So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go
I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go
She a-howlin' about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get any back rent
She ain't gonna get none of it
So I stop in the local bar you know people
I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender
Said look man, come down here, he got down there
So what you want?

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when
I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin
Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose
Need me a triple shot of that juice
Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

But I'm sitting now at the bar
I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow
I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer
Looked down the bar, here come the bartender
I said look man, come down here
So what you want?

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain't seen my baby since the night before last
Gotta get a drink man I'm gonna get gassed
Gonna get high man I ain't had enough
Need me a triple shot of that stuff
Gonna get drunk won't you listen right here
I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

Now by this time I'm plenty high
You know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high
Looked down the bar I say to my bartender
I said look man, come down here, he got down there
So what you want this time?
I said look man, a-what time is it?
He said the clock on the wall say three o'clock
Last call for alcohol, so what you need?

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week
Gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak
Gonna get high man listen to me
One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three
I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

But, be honest, when you posted the thread, were you praising alcohol for moderate use? If so, why did you later post this:

"Funny thing is I don't remember posting this topic last night!"

drink in excess and you'll have a lot more fun tho!!
i think 'drink in moderation' is a general societal guideline to keep the most # of people out of trouble. some(lots of people), obviously, shouldn't drink at all, some others(once again, lots of other people) can drink themselves under the table and wake up the next afternoon feeling a little woozy but no worse for the wear.

Here's a snippet of a song that my friends and I used to sing in college:

"A long time ago, way back in history when all there was to drink was nothing but cups of tea
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops and he invited a wonderful brew and he made it out of hops"

BEER, BEER, BEER, TIDDLY BEER, BEER, BEER

[/B][/QUOTE]

What I meant by "drinking in moderation" is not getting drunk everyday, not making your whole life, not having beer for breakfast, etc....

IMO, Getting drunk sometimes is not a big deal. For example, when I posted this topic, I was very drunk. But it was also the 1st time I got drunk in 2 weeks. What's the big deal about that?
