Lot of talk about drinking on here, in various topics... mostly in meltdown threads where people threaten to not live anymore. On in retard threads started by myself.

Why do you drink?

I drink because I like the taste, and the buzz is nice too. I usually have a beer or two after work during the week, on the weekends I might (will) have a few more. I guess I'm a cross between connoisseur and partier.

I voted rarely because I'll have a beer maybe once a year these days. Used to be a helluva lot more than that about 10 years ago.

I meant more like cookouts, bday parties, stuff like that. LOL.

It is ALL too expensive, thus why I dont buy it ever, anymore.

Social Connoisseur. Golf Outings, BBQs, sporting events (bars & restaurants, not at the game site). I do love visiting microbrew pubs to sample the store.

Drink occasionally for taste or social reasons but mostly to get drunk.

I turn 25 next month and have never tasted alcohol. I just have never had the urge to drink nor see the "benefit" of it.

I voted Connoisseur because I'm smart enough to know Pabst is a hell of a lot better beer then Budweiser.

In college, I was a party person.

Now, I'll have a drink when the wife and I go to dinner. Other than that, I'll actually DRINK maybe once a month because there is usually some kind of social event going on at least one weekend a month. I guess you could call me the National Guard Drinker.

I have a glass or two of Jefferson Reserve or Knob Creek every night. The reason why is well it helps me relax and it taste great.

This is something that I never really understood. The "benefit" of a lot of alcohol out there is that it tastes good. You can enjoy a nice craft beer, a fine wine, or good scotch responsibly without getting wasted. Just because a lot of people act like idiots (I'll be the first to admit I've had too much a "few" times) doesn't mean there is nothing good about it.
