Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
I haven't had alcohol in years, and I am all the better for it. It is a waste of money, tastes awful, and being drunk is akin to banging your head against the wall and trying to piece together a calculas equation at the same time (not a pleasant experience).

Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
Then why do people do it?
Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
It is completely illogical, and it is something I will never personally understand. I can only explain it that people want to make themselves ill with foul-tasting liquid for the fun of it.
I remember when I was younger, when you are in the stage where you go "Wow, you can have alcohol legally now!", everyone is like "don't mind the taste, you get used to it!" and they just drink galleons of this foul tasting liquid in a variety of flavours, ranging from nail-polish remover, terps, gasoline, foamy urine and fairy liquid.
Oh, you mean alcopops and cocktails?
Alcopops are a waste, they are about twice the expense of a normal fruit drink, just to make it taste worse. They have very negligible "drunk factor" effects. So you would need to drink like ten bottles of a subpar drink, which would be £20 easily, just to feel anything. There is really no point to them, they are a waste of time and money.
I do like a good cocktail though. These are the only alcoholic drinks I can actually drink, is a good cocktail. From the likes of sunsets, mojito's, etc, they are pleasant, though you can usually tell the bad ones a mile away, and get loaded with paint stripper in the mouth.
Overall, alcohol is a complete waste outside the odd cocktail, which you have to treat yourself. Last time I had alcohol was one and a half years ago in a "fancy cocktail bar" in Riga, Latvia.

Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
Personally I genuinely enjoy a good rum, and an ice cold pint of Erdinger after a days work is heaven. I think alcopops taste foul, except for "Mac & Ernies Alco Cola" which I got wasted on many years ago and have never seen again, if it wasn't for a friend also remembering it I would assume it was a dream.
Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
Err, perhaps their experience is different from yours?It is completely illogical, and it is something I will never personally understand. I can only explain it that people want to make themselves ill with foul-tasting liquid for the fun of it.
Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
Hence the "never personally" understand.
Though with the anti-freeze, cough-syrup and listerine references, it looks like I am correct more than being incorrect.

Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
Yeah like LG says if it's not regular it's fine (you probably just woke up early and started chilling). I just remember this one guy who lived on my floor who used to drink every day when I went to 9 AM class... "Have a beer it tastes better if you just brushed..."

Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
I am at the stage where you either just quit drinking altogether or accept that you are an alcoholic.
I usually have a beer and ponder the question.
Oh, there is 10 of you and one of me, I make that Pimm's o clock!
Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
A good pint after a days work. Agreed. Or a good pint after a hard football match is equally as good.

Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
If it tastes awful, you are not drinking the correct stuff.

Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
Hey, haven't had a beer for four days, bought some this morning and can hardly resist the temptation to take one off the frigde. That, or a glass of Muscat.
Re: I'm drinking a beer before noon
Or you don't like the flavor of the alcohol itself. I don't, which is why I'm not a drinker. It's very hard to be one when all hard drinks have the distinct feature of tasting like someone mixed in nail polish remover. There are very few beers I can stand. I MUST shanty wine with either pop or fruit juice. And I'll only drink coolers.

I strongly disagree. The point between not being drunk enough, and being too drunk, is the best place in the world.

I'll admit to loving some wine, perhaps more than I ought to... but I don't understand why anone would willingly attempt to do calculus equations, regardless of sobriety.

With alcohol, you are childish, vulgar, insane and $50 poorer.
