why do people drink alcohol? Its not cool, its fucking lame. 99% of it tastes like absolute shit. Im 23 and havent had a single drink since i was 17. It was fucking gay then too. Why do people think its cool?
>>69861147
because people enjoy the feeling of letting loose in a social environment you fucking autist wannabe

You might have a low resistance-find the taste appalling. But most (again not all) people develop a taste and alcohol has been a social catalyst for thousands of years.

I'm with OP here. The only reason you should drink is to get rid of your social anxiety etc if you're out trying to get laid.
Losers who sit at home drinking are the fucking worst. If alcohol actually had any benefits to it it would make sense, but it just kills your body and make you forget about your problems for a little while.
Protip: Work out, lift heavy shit, it will give you the same high as alcohol and weed and your body will thank you when you're 30+

OP sounds like a child or a woman, most grown men I know drink to some degree and have an appreciation for alcohol. Those that don't are typically losers and snobs, the types that like to talk about their favorite paintings and how they're vegans, or the ultra religious shithead who has never known a good time because he's a stiff with a dick that won't get hard. Typically these people will act edgy and self righteous, acting like the fact that they don't drink makes them smarter or above us lesser, animalistic degenerates, when in reality they are the basement dwelling type, very childish and passive in nature, low test as well. OP falls somewhere in this spectrum. Grow up or man up, faggot.

Same here, seems that most people force themselves to like beer or alcohol just to fit in, prove me wrong no way in hell people drinked the first time because it had such a sweet flavor, but your life do what you want all the males in my senpai were drunkards who have died from too alcohol, I was lucky to not be like them and avoid it at all cost.
If abstinence from alcohol was extremely socially beneficial, then Islam would dominate the world. While it has drawbacks for sure, it smooths social occasions which promotes group cohesion/mating and helps the unsuccessful accept their place in society without chimping out.
I've never felt any different after drinking alcohol--most I've had is 4 shots of rum back-to-back. At that point I decided to stop trying, because if it took any more to just get me tipsy, it just wouldn't be worth the price.
I don't look down on anybody for drinking, but I don't participate because there's no point in destroying my liver when I know it won't have any mental effect whatsoever. Sucks to have high tolerance.

>>69864315
Lot of things are escapism. Alcohol is one of the more harmful ways to do it if done with excess but it's not any stranger than someone wasting time on a hobby. Entertainment in general is a way to escape from reality for a few hours, forget about real life, forget about your problems.
You would probably go insane if you had to be 100% serious and focused on real life all the time.

Worry about your own shit, don't like to drink? Who fucking cares? Don't like drunk people? So what, i don't like niggers and jews but that's not going to change the fact that they exist
Eat shit and die, live and let live dammit
You know that feeling of relief after you take a huge dump, or cum hard after not fapping for a few weeks. That's what beer feels like, except for your brain.
It's a weight being lifted off your shoulders.
Taste wise, It's like olives, mushrooms, anchovies, horseradish, other weird tasting foods.Tastes like shit when you're a kid, but then you get older and it takes bretty good man.
Also an ice cold beer is refreshing, and eases the nerves. After you drink a few beers you start to get a craving for more, especially if you want to relax a bit/ease your mind/get a little stupid.
After some really shitty hard days at work, or if I'm feeling exhausted/frustrated with something, I will instinctively get an urge to drink, it calms me down, makes me feel better/comfy/fuzzy/warm inside.
I used to drink straight vodka when I was 18, but I only drink beers and light liquor coolers now (I'm 25).

It's how population is measured. Europe and America do it a little differently.
When people measure the population of cities in America, it usually only measures the very central parts, go a couple km outside of the city center and you're technically in another city. For example Beverly Hills and Santa Monica are not represented in the population of LA. That's not the case with European cities, when people count the population of London or any other major European city it counts the center of the city and its distant suburbs
In America blacks live in downtown or close to downtown while whites are in the Suburbs which are technically other cities. It's the same deal with London though, the immigrants are mostly found close to the center while the whites live in the suburbs, but those suburbs are officially part of the city of London.
In American, the suburbs are technically part of another city but they are part of the general Metropolitan Area. Beverly HIlls and Santa Monica are their own cities but they're part of the LA Metro, or LA county. The term metropolitan area is not very widely used in Europe.

Bud Lite literally tastes like Pepsi Cola, it's that fucking neutral of a taste.
You could give a little kid a Bud lite and he'd down it in a couple minutes, because there is no sour skunky aftertaste like most beers. It's basically like drinking club soda or something.
>>69864563
If you said weed I'd believe you because people do indeed seem to be differently sensible to THC but alcohol works the same on every one no matter what. Sounds like you tried one of these alcohol free drinks. By the way if you really drank 4 actual shots of rum it would have burned you throat so hard that you would remember it, not to mention 4 actual shots is enough to to get anyone but very heavy drinkers tipsy.
Buy a six pack of strong beer or a cheap bottle of vodka and try again. You'll realize how stupid what you just said sounds.

I mean you can disagree, but your stance that IT DOESNT AFFECT YOU (A FUCKING) LEAF ME ALONE! is retarded because your unhealthy decisions impact on society and form trends that impact society, so i can call you out on them as much as i want (theoretically i'm a Canadian for the sake of this argument, or you're Australian).

>People like what I don't like!
I bet you don't even know why rice beer (bud, coors, etc.) is so popular. Fucking fedoras.
>>69861147
While I can agree and I will never understand why people drink for the sake of being drunk. I still drink in social situations but only up to a point. However I disagree that hard liquor or porter tastes like shit. Lager is an abomination though.
>>69865562
That is why I'm against socialism.
>>69865472
Can't argue with that if you're talking about the "big names" Like Budweiser, Miller, etc. I mostly drink those when they're on sale in a bar for $4.
There are tons of smaller breweries in the US.
>>69865500
Shit, my bad...
>>69865167
And i know a guy who was suicidally depressed and does MDMA every couple of months a year and now hes a successful contributing member of society, ergo we should all do MDMA.
It's almost like painting in broad strokes isn't an effective way of portraying things XDDD
>>69865566
>I bet you don't even know why rice beer (bud, coors, etc.) is so popular
cheap, readily available, easy to drink, low calorie, widely distributed, favored by people who don't like beer
also pours the most into advertising
>>69865328
That is exactly how I feel. Worst case scenario you lose your job from a piss test. In comparison to the damage to your liver/heart/stomach/brain that seems pretty good.
>>69864563
>rum
I have never gotten drunk off this either, but I've rarely gotten "drunk".
I doubt 4 shots would kill your liver though, men used to drink gallons of rum on the high seas to avoid scurvy. If they can do it and live, you can have a few more shots.
>>69861147

couldn't even be bothered explaining it at length to you because having read all your posts you sound like a boring childish asshole
>>69861147
Drinking some alcohol makes me more relaxed around people, less restrained.
>>69861147
Nobody thinks its cool, but when you spend 10 hours a day working a job you hate for money that can barely feed your family, you have to stop thinking about the future in any way possible.
>>69865695
Shit, if you're working somewhere that randomly drug tests employees then you're probably working in a meth infested shithole and you should get the fuck out.
>>69865562
So we should just outlaw all things which cause death and illness?
And it doesn't affect you. If he stops drinking, you're commie healthcare tax isn't going down.
He is society as a whole. He shouldn't be punished for the aggregate actions of other people.
>>69865510
Fruit lambics are quite acceptable, especially on afternoons on sunny/hot days.
It barely is considered having a beer around here, though, so there is that. Most guys I know that enjoy fruit lambics move on to neutral lambics, give it a try. They're incredibly sour, but we like them that way.
>>69865328
Weed is much more expensive and can have much worse effects on you, I have a couple of friends who think the same as you and they're always broke because they waste all their money on weed and seem 'slow' even when they don't smoke.
Alcohol can be much more harmful in the long run if you lose control but if you can control yourself getting drunk on friday night is better than integrating weed into your lifestyle.
>>69865689
And it is inoffensive. Beer doesn't require strange tastes to be 'good'. Thinking you need an extra-hoppy beer is ridiculous.

I'm sorry you live in a cucked nation with shit prices. If you're spending all your cash on weed, you need to get a real job.
>>69865905
Not your state, moron, your business.
>>69865801
No, but that guy is saying "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CRITICIZE ME!" i'm saying i do because his actions affect my bottom line. I'm a fatass, my decision not to lose weight may one day cost taxpayers money, and obesity in the wider scope of society drives up healthcare prices.
I don't think all fatties should be gassed or corn syrup should be banned, but i can completely understand someone criticizing me for my decisions. I'm not going to flip the fuck out because someone insults my unhealthy life choices like that leaf is.

What do you know about drinking even? Where I live a common truth is "If you wanna make sure everyone enjoys your party, provide at least one 0,7l bottle of vodka per head."
Rum is good but it goes down too quick. If you pour it into a full sized glass it's likely to be gone within less than half an hour, and if you're not experienced that's a bad thing.
>>69865759
>10 hours a day working a job you hate for money that can barely feed your family,
so you waste the money on alcohol? You sound smart
>>69866034
>i do because his actions affect my bottom line
i'll bite, how significantly do you think he's actually affecting you personally?
i mean sure you've said that there's a big picture and he's somehow dragging down society or something. what tangible affect has he actually had on you?
>>69863115

No respectable drug dealer, who respects his clients, meaningfully cuts his shit, or if you do, you tell the client.
I receive 90%+ (with 10% inactive/binding cuts) and i assure you, only a weirdo would prefer speed to actual coke.
Alcohol literally just numbs your pain
It reassures that things are just fine as they are and you dont need to change your life for the better
It's literally cancer
>>69865927
Again, you hate it when people like different shit.
>>69865957
> "In Britain today, alcohol is a leading cause of death in men between the ages of sixteen and fifty, so it is therefore the most harmful drug there is in terms of life expectancy, family disruption and road traffic accidents.
>"It all boils down to the question of what are we trying to do when we make drugs illegal - we should be trying to reduce harm for people but in order to decide on whether to make something illegal we need to have a good appreciation of what relative harms are."
so idiots drink too much and die. Guess we should ban assault swimming pools. This is a normative judgement based on societal trends rather than biological evidence, and is a verbatim restatement of the gun grabber argument. Banning alcohol makes the taboo even stronger and encourages binge drinking even further. Look at US colleges. This guy's a political sockpuppet.
>ecstacy is as harmless as LSD
case in fucking point, ecstacy is cut with either heroin or meth, which are both extremely neurodegenerative
>media summaries of a scientific article
get me a .pdf of the study or fuck off. Meta-analysis is iffy as fuck and rarely done properly. Every study could define light drinking differently.

It's easier to lose control with weed because you can smoke every day without much consequences and it can easily become a bad habit. If you are a student it's pretty hard to get decent revenue and if smoking becomes a habit it can get really expensive.
With alcohol you can't get drunk when you want because of real life obligations and downing half a bottle of strong alcohol every night isn't socially acceptable.
>still drinking the alcohol jew
>>69866313
>you dont need to change your life for the better
and what concrete way is there of doing that? running off and joining a monastery or something?
>>69866307
That particular transaction was when I realized what was going on. You can call me stupid. I was stupid. Just having fun. I thought he was just having fun.
But now he's behind bars and I am not.
>>69866034
Yeah, but you can't blame him specifically.
If everyone didn't drink, except for him, he wouldn't cause socialized medicine tax to go up.
Him quitting won't make it go down.
And most enlightened people wouldn't punish one man for the actions of others.
>>69866209
Realistically, it's insignificant, at worst it's 50-100 bucks every few years over regular inflation, and i'm not poor so i can cover any increases, like i said, i'm fat and obesity is probably far worse than alcoholism in terms of socialized mecial costs, HOWEVER.
I'm not actually criticizing the guy for drinking here, but i'm criticizing his "STOP HARRASSING ME FOR MY OBJECTIVE NEGATIVE IMPACT ON SOCIETY! WHO CARES LMAO!" stance, hes saying he has no affect, so no one should criticize, but in truth he does, even if its negligible for me it might not be for someone else, and people do have the right to criticize him for his shitty lifestyle decisions (same as people have a right to criticize me for mine).

honestly alcohol lets me steal shit and become a nigger, i just stole a can of wd-40 from walmart and stole a large bag of quinoa from the groecery store. i save about 30 dollars today thanks to alcohol.
with alcohol all my badass dreams come true.
i act like a badass nigger
i have stolen so much while drunk. SO MUCH
>>69866457
No, maybe continuing your intellectual endeavors and becoming and entrepreneur
Most extremely successful people don't drink
>>69866492
I'm not blaming or shaming, i'm just saying when he says "Why do you care" and lives in a country with socialized medicine, there is a reason for people to care, he costs them more money.
If he was an American (and before Obamacare if i understand it right) he would have a point, but hes not so he doesn't.
It's the only drug they're allowed to do so they have to pretend that it's super amazing. Basically a form of stockholm syndrome, if the only way of getting off allowed was huffing paint people would act the exact same way about that as they do about alcohol.
>>69866596
how much did you spend on the alcohol?

Mental midget detected, no wonder /pol/ is full of degenerate bernie posters

I heard you all once tried to ban petrol to stop the abo sniffing problem, but then had to cancel it because it wasn't working out.
but seriously, everyone has some sort of unhealthy habit. If you don't drink, you probably smoke, or watch too much porn or use prescription drugs or gamble too much or drive recklessly. Very few people can conquer all of their unhealthy habits, and is a life without those things even going to be much fun?
>>69862044
Shouldn't you be the one showing them that there are long term effects? I don't think you understand what the burden of proof is.
