I enjoy the odd wine to go with my food. It tastes good

Nothing tastes better than a Crown Royal ..... and I don't need pressure, anger, boredom or addiction to enjoy it.

If I'd read the OP's asinine OP before voting, I would have chosen the "None of your business" option. Hard to believe that one isn't winning.

I think that might be the heart of it right there.

When I first got here, I partied my as5 off for 6 months straight - every Friday & Saturday night, up till 6 or 7am, boozed out of my mind. It was a lot of fun, and at that time, I obviously hung around a few boozers (great friends of mine to this day). We've all slowed down over the years, to the point where I have the occasional 5 to 6 beers on a saturday afternoon or something, about twice a month.

The above quoted statement is not indicative of the drinking demographics in Korea, me thinks.

By the way, on a completely different topic, cubanlord, where'd your 'throw something at the next poster' thread go? That was a good thread!

Sometimes it's nice to feel chemically-altered because reality can be kinda boring (number one, vaguely).

It lowers social inhibitions and makes me speak my mind whereas, straightheaded, I'd probably say "yeah, I think Scotland and Wales are great countries". It makes me more inclined to ask a girl for her number which can reap rewards. That said, alcohol and sex don't mix with me at all. A little red wine or champagne perhaps but no more.

Alcohol is both a stimulant and a sedative, thus it produces a high and induces sleep. This is cool.

It's nice to relax with a tipple if stressed out.

Booze, mates and Soccer - oh yes.

I drink because I'm over 12 years old.

Maybe you'd like a Chocolate Choo Choo. Tastes like candy....Tastes like candy...

I didn't miss it. The choices seemed suspicious to me, so I read the post first. Obviously, someone is trolling.
