them girly drinks are lethal, much stronger than beer - especially the way you americans water it.

My brothers Kool Aid!


Yeah. Not to mention they make you SICKER in the morning. I have yet to do HRT, and nothing really gives me hangovers, except too much sugary alc.

I'd imagine those girly drinks would RUIN me if I had them on HRT. I therefore, unless I intend to be DRUNK OUT OF MY MIND (still drink like Malibu for that or if I'm desperate Jager) go with beer. Not Miller or any crap like that. I have wheat allergies, so that makes me SICK. So Its not only tastier beer, it doesn't make me sick and follows my philosophy on drinking. This is to only buy GOOD alcohol with the little money you have once and a while versus Dubre all the time, and destroying everything. Its a moderation thing really, and a good excuse for me.

Suburbia does have its horror stories, seriously.

I don't drink either.  Alcohol is not a good thing for anyone.  It makes you gain weight, it destroys your liver, your brain, your kidneys, your skin becomes rough and what is worse, it interferes with medication (whatever this medication may be) so you never get the full benefits of a prescribed drug.

tink

i agree with you on this tink . iam not on hrt yet . but i still can say drinking Alcohol is not good

lets put it like this back a few yrs ago  when i  was going threw a hard time in my life . i made the mistake

and tryed it . and after a very short time  after i tryed it . i gave it up cold for every reason you said tink

pluss not to say what it made me when i was in that state  and dont even ask  to scary to think about thats all iam say

I sometimes drink when I go out.  two drinks max b/c I'm the one that drives

I used to drink/ be able to drink a load. now i can hardly drink anything... its annoying as i can be fairly sober and have a killer hangover next day ><
i dont like to drink thesedays... its a social thing, and just as a relaxing thing, excess isnt fun anymore.

A new study said that a drink a day is as good as exercises for the heart. Both are even better.

Real girls drink Sapphire Matinis, shaken, not stirred   

Bond has his martinis 'shaken not stirred' because he had them with vodka, not gin.  You never shake the gin because it might bruise the gin.  In cocktail land, its called a Bradford.  Interesting to note, that the "shaken not stirred" from Bond is a reverse of the books, where he (of course) in classic fashion, wanted them "stirred not shaken."  Though in the books Bond drinks pretty much everything.

I just borrowed that from Bond 'cause that's the way I liked them.  Harry Denton's old bar in the financial district SOMA made them great!  I loved them with tiny ice crystals floating on top!

a drink a day maybe, not a bottle a day though

Yeah, they used to serve Anchor Steam Foghorn on tap, and the bathrooms were worth going for all in themselves.

Tell that to my friends who drink pints...
thier not dykes, they arnt tomboys....
hell
anything with an alcohol content of 5% or over...

I think drink is like music, the right sort, in the right amount, at the right time and with the right people can bring a cynic like me at the closest to transcendence I'm going to get. Drink should be used to enhance an event, not become an event. I expect the same would be true with drugs, but I've never really got on with drugs.

Indeed. Also, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who snorts coke just for the smell of it. Wine, now...

True that. Thats usually why I'm pissed at my typical late-teenage friends. They were all straight edge, and I wasn't cause I thought that movement was DUMB, and then they all bounced into the opposite category. Now the event is drinking itself, and I get massively bored out of my mind after a couple of shots, and then proceed to leave and DO SOMETHING.

And yes I think it goes the same way for drug use. I say this because I consider alcohol a potent drug.

i did drugs once.... ill admit that... It was with a girlfriend, and shes was leaving... so we had a party, 6 bottles of wine between us, and 2g of coke and we were quite bashed....

ive never desired drugs since....
alcohol? hmmm well

The problem with coke is what it does to your nose. The only thing with coke in it I would ever bother trying would be the old skool coca-cola, and thats pretty much it. But thats pretty impossible cause I seriously doubt the ingredients are available. But like I said, just cause its legal does not make it a non-drug.
