20 years sober now but if i could i'd have a drink tomorrow.

I can honestly say i had more fun in the pub with the lads than any other time of my life.

 

Basically, you can fart and all the lads start laughing at your farts because everything is funny when you're drunk.

We're way too uptight and serious in normal life. 

So getting drunk is an outlet to let loose. 

It's a psychological release from all the tension of being serious all day long at work.

show me your selection then 😄

I don't know much about wine. 

I'll take your word for it that that wine tastes good and is worth the exorbitant price tag.

In fact, wine is so good that it's highly addictive. You end up drinking it every night, sometimes 2-3 glasses.

It's way too easy to go beyond safe limits where it starts to harm your liver and shrink your brain.

So screw wine. 

If I gave up pizza and cakes and ice cream, I can give up wine too.

 

Such is life. We're cursed creatures. A lot of stuff that tastes good is not good for us. 

I'll give God a piece of my mind when I see him. 

Why can't alcohol just be good for us, damn you God !!!!

I drink maybe 8 - 12 bottles of wine in a year on average, and most of them in the summer in my orign country. 

 

This year so far raw assumption of my alchohol consumption.

 

15 beers, 5 bottles of wine, 6 glass of cognac. 2 white months included.

8-12 bottles of wine per year seems reasonable

That describes my mates and i perfectly.

Saying that,when i go and see them now i tell them "I'm off after your third pint". After that it's like listening to a gang of loonies.

I still drink, but have cut way back.  Some recent studies have said any amount, even one beer is toxic and not good for your body.  Very sad, drinking can be very enjoyable and relaxing.

Duh. Because I can. I like the taste of both beer and water. I drink both, but not in one glass.

Beer is 90+% water.  ;}

People drink alcohol for varying reasons. Personally I prefer to drink for taste rather than effect and I rarely over-indulge. 
 

I also like beer and wine culture and trying new and interesting varieties. 

 

Getting drunk doesn't interest me but I admit I do enjoy that heady feeling after the first or second glass and loosening up a bit.

 

I like to keep a rough record of what I drink and stick to a weekly limit or it becomes like Russian Roulette with your health.

 

We're all different.
