FYI:
“Alcohol is a toxic, psychoactive, and dependence-producing substance and has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer decades ago – this is the highest risk group, which also includes asbestos, radiation and tobacco.”
I still drink on holidays but I thought that this whole cultural thing where we glorify alcohol was behind us as a species. Gen Z doesn’t really drink much at all and bars are closing down all over the world.
I recommend only drinking socially. In college I drank alone all the time. It’s a very depressing road to go down. Would younger me have quit drinking if I had known it was cancer causing? Probably not.
Be careful with alcohol!
Social drinking easily leads to social pressure, and then abuse, and then making an ass of yourself.
Treat it like it’s a party drug. Because it is.
I’m not a huge fan since I have a drunkard in my basement. I haven’t had any alcohol since Christmas at my family’s house before then. I haven’t had any since September. It’s really not worth it and going without saves me money
It’s fun when you’re young and sad when you’re older. Be careful out there kids.
It can be either when you’re either. It’s all about knowing your limits, and for some people, old or young, their safe limit is 0, and that’s ok.
Your liver and kidneys disagree.
I’m so happy I dislike the taste of alcohol enough to not seek it out, yet appreciate alcoholic drinks enough to enjoy a buzz when it’s available.
I’m the opposite, I like the taste of alcohol, but I hate the buzz. Much rather do weed. I seek out alcohol-free variants of drinks nowadays.
N/A drinks, especially IPAs, probably saved my life. 2 years sober now
What is your favourite AlcOwOl? :3c
Apple juice :3
Lagavulin or Laphroaig if I want to be fancy, pirate juice (rum) if I want to have a ripping good time, or wreck the hoose juice/the devils ribena if I’m in a particularly (self)destructive mood.
You wouldn’t download a drink
I visited a Scottish destillery last year and it was awesome and the drinks also tasted very good
Cheap, sweetened red wine
what I love to do is get white wine, water and syrup (elderflower e.x.)
Generally whatever is locally produced as long as its not some bourgeois operation that costs more than imported stuff, consumed the way its meant to be consumed, eg baijiu and many wines are quite nice accompanying spicy food, but unpleasant on their own and overpower any more subtle tastes. Vodka is excellent for bringing out more subtle flavors, but pointless by itself.
My hottest take: tequila is genuinely unpleasant to drink and tastes worse than everclear.
Ugh, Tequila. When I was in my early 20s, my bar drink of choice was a shot of Cuervo Silver with a salted rim and a lime slice. I puked it up so many times that even the scent of straight Tequila makes me gag and I’m nearly 40 now.
Even the “good stuff” like the Don Julio my husband occasionally enjoys sipping.
I can still enjoy a good margarita on the rocks though, so it didn’t completely destroy Tequila for me.
I’m an IPA, Chianti or Malbec, Prosecco, and Gin girly though for the most part.
completely agree, I e.x. ditched Finlandia Vodka after finding out that it is owned by Coca Cola and I am also not a big fan of Tequila.
I sometimes buy flavoured Vodka & mix it with Energy but sometimes I drink the normal shots it depends on the quality and taste of it
I don’t understand why I should drink alcohol
Wan wan want a new liver yet kiddo?
On the plus side, jokes on anyone who tries to steal my kidneys
Why would I do that when I could just go to Liverpool, where is a pool full of livers…
