When I was between 16 and 35 I drank about 5 beers a week, which is reasonable, on week ends only, but since then, I don't touch it. I don't know why I stopped, but I don't miss it.
Our Canadian beer is great, I guess I should drink a few again.... But if I do that, I'm not responsible of what I write anymore...
I did the Mormon thing for about 18 months.
Alcohol is no big deal---except on St. Patty's Day and at Renn Faires. Altho I do like hard liquor and Guinness and Bass and Dos Equis...but wine usually gives me heartburn(can't drink white wine at all..makes me feel nauseous). BUUUUUT no way I can go without alcohol AND coffee AND tea!
I really did like the weirder aspects of Mormonism....(if only they would get rid of all the Jesus talk)but I just could not hang with the no hot drinks or alcohol. The only Christians I really like are Mormons and Catholics---because they are really just pagans with a little Jesus thrown in....
My nickname is Martini because when I was on an Alaskan cruise a few years ago, they had a martini bar and no one was ever there so i went and hung out with the Russian girl who was the bartender and she made me free 'samples'---lots of free samples!
I can't even remember when the last time I got a buzz was.....I don't think I have had more than 2 or 3 drinks in one sitting for atleast 5 years. I drank more as a JW-LOL. I lived in TN for 3 years and you had to go 50 or 60 miles to even buy it. But now I am in VA and you can get beer and wine at Walmart! Maybe I will drink more now.

I do enjoy it from time to time, socially or to relax in the evening, but alcohol really isn't something I need or crave. I can go indefinitely without it.
Many people need excess alcohol, or drugs to feel good and party. I just need good music. I can drive my car for hours turning round and round listening to music and never getting tired. Music definitely is my drug.
Now that's an emoticon!!!
mac, of the it's been too long already class
If Jesus couldn't make it without a little wine........how can i be expected to?
Don't know, I rarely drink, maybe once every couple of months, or more, usually it's a social situation, never really drink at home, by myself. I could go indefinatly and not miss it.
Definitely only special occasions. Like sandy, I hate what alcoholism can do to relationships.
I've never seen such a parched thread! You guys need to get out more!!!
Come to Britain and we'll show you what real drinking is all about!!!
