I drink occasionally when the im in the mood. Theres is nothing wrong with a good buzz.(drunk karaoke is the best) I dont see the point when people try to get $#@! faced on purpose. Whats the point of drinking to the point where you wont remember anything. Even though, I can see it maybe happening sometimes after having a couple of drinks and just not really caring to stop. _________________ . |

i didn't start drinking until spring semester freshman year. i try to only drink good stuff. if all a party has is kerystone then i'll stay sober. i have an older sister and she's spent the last year or so teaching me all about nice alcohols and mixed drinks. i guess i've learned to enjoy the drink, rather than chug to get drunk. alcohol is definately an aquired taste, but it is quite a lovely taste. last night, my roomies and i had a few people over for a little party. it was fun because we got good booze and made nice mixes. i like that best, no drunken brawls, just giggling and a few stumbles. oh, and shots are bad. very, very bad. i have definately had nights of being sick and i don't plan on trying again anytime soon. _________________ http://thegirlinthebearhat.tumblr.com/ |

But there are soooooooo many different kinds of beers out there it's unbelievable. I just turned 21 in April and since then I've been trying so many different kinds, and I've found that I love ales. So far every pale ale or amber ale I've had were amazingly delicious. I think my favorite beer I've had so far is a Widmer Hefewizen on tap with a lemon wedge. Smooth as hell and very very tasty. |

from the posts in here so far i'd look like an alcoholic, this past summer friends would have a party atleast once a week, and we al just stayed over so no d.d., and now that everyone is back at school I go to NYC on weekends and it's getting drunk about twice a week. But it's not always cheap stuff it depends on my funds. I love whiskey though, its delicious, can't wait till I turn 21 in 2 months so I don't have the risk of not getting into bars with a fake id anymore. But no i'm not an alcoholic, I'm just a kid that has fun with friends. _________________ I've gotten so good at lying to myself. When I fly solo, I fly so high. |

My mom lets me drink sometimes...margaritas are pretty good. I tried her beer once and it tasted like crap...C R A P..  I really don't particularly like drinking that much, only sometimes. I would never go out and party or anything or get drunk...once I did get dizzy though. And one time my mom let me have a sip of wine in a restaurant and a lady gave me a really weird look which reminds me of another time that my family and I went to the store and my mom had me get er two big bottles of wine. As I walked to where she was there were so many people giving me bad looks...it was funny lol  _________________ Kneel before your god Babylon!

Ales are wonderful, if I may make a suggestion, get a 6 pack of Blue Moon, and an orange, throw those two together, it's amazing. It's either that or Harvest Moon, which is Blue Moon but pumpkin flavored for the fall. |

It's a seasonal ale and they stop brewing it this month, so if you haven't had it I recommend you try it while you still can this year. I'm lucky enough to live in a major micro-brew area. There are 3 big micro-brews within 100 miles of me. The Widmer Bros. right here in Portland (well I guess they aren't a micro-brewery considering they are the 11th largest brewery in the nation), Full Sail Brewing in Hood River, Oregon which is where I grew up, and Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon. All 3 make some mighty fine beers and I can get them on tap just about anywhere in my city. |
