Often? Rarely? Never?

Used to when you were younger?

If not, why not?

I'll take "Hell Yes" for $500 Alex!

I love booze, there's nothing like a drunken night with friends. I've learned where my limits are and when enough is enough. When I need booze to have a good time, I might start to worry, but I've managed to avoid addiction to lotsa things, so I should be ok.

rarely. I have never been drunk, but I have been known to have a guiness from time to time.

I dont drink too much cause I have played enough clubs to see the different variety of "drunk"
I just could'nt see myself comfortable in any of those roles so I choose not to get drunk.

:D

I've gone through periods where I won't drink for a few months and periods where I drink a few times a week. And periods where it remains infrequent, but perhaps once a month.

There's no real rhyme or reason, but I enjoy it.

I love the taste of a good rum and can appreciate good wine and mostly dislike beer, but will choke it down.

The feeling of being buzzed/drunk is fun too.

As long as you know your limits and are safe, it is great fun.

Alcohol and I are on good terms. I can have a great time when I want to or I could not have any for a week if I don't want to. BUT, I'm a big fan. :D

I think working in an Irish Pub kind of planted the seeds of over drinking on a regular basis, but I think I'm backl on a normal schedule now. ;)

Decreased significantly in the last few months, I was drinking regularly prior to that.

I've recently been reminded of just how much I love the sweet malt smell of brews. I swear it's an aphrodesiac.

I still drink just not as much, and not as frequently.:)

Rarely. Sometimes I give into the temptation.

I drink, but not as much as I used to (that's usually the case with most people; those who don't slack off given time usually wind up in AA or dead as a result of it).

Alcohol, for me, is synonymous with having a good time. The only times I've had bad experiences drinking is when I've drank in "mixed company". I'm careful now to drink only with those I know quite well, and that I know can handle alcohol.

Not as often as I like. I only really drink around certain friends that I see on occasion. But when we get together, we make up for lost time. :)

I used to drink everyday in highschool and college, but now, I usually do not drink that much. I do enjoy having a drink everyonce in a while though.

Before we had kids, we went out a lot, so I drank pretty regularly. But now we don't get out all that much, and when we do, I know I have 2 kids to take care of when I get home, so it's a rare occasion.

Nope I have never drank. Long line of alcoholism in my family, including both parents. I saw what can happen to a family where alcoholism runs rampant and I decided a looong time ago not to drink alcohol.

Now don't get me wrong I am not the type to try and stop others from drinking. I know there is a difference between an alcoholic and someone who can drink without a problem.

It is just that with my family history I decided not to tempt fate.

Sometimes. Not a huge drinker. When I do, I usually toss back a bottle of Red Wine.

I prefer pot. No hangover, better buzz.

I don't drink that often. But when I do I get ready to have fun, Mainly cause I am a light drinker, and after a few I get pretty wild.

I am with Manu.

Its fun at times, to be with friends and get silly, forget about worries.

I hate hangovers though.. the one down fall of a good drunken stupor.

I recently got on the wagon. I hop on and off it when I need to. I am hugely addictive to every substance, and had a major episode of heroin and coke addiction when I was in my twenties. I found that sometimes drinking led me back to it because it lowered my inhibitions and strengthened my "****it* attitude, so that's why I hop on the wagon when I start to lean on that crutch too often. That said, I'd kill for a glass of merlot right about now.

I do. I haven't in the last few weeks because I've been too poor to buy any booze... but godamn do I enjoy drinkin'. I do a lot of it, and I puke most of it up... but I've been working at stopping that.

I don't drink any more - because I have alcoholism. The recommended treatment is abstinence. :cool:

I've slowed down tremendously since I quit the bar business, but I still like to have a few.
