alcohol exists to alter one's consiousness.

i, for one, think it is for people who are weak, who cannot take the world for what it is.

but then again, i'm exposed to alcoholics, not social drinkers. my opinion is definately biased.

but looking at the social drinking, it seems to do the same thing in my eyes. people altering their consiousness to sleep with people they wouldn't think about otherwise

I just drink to relax a little. I'm a bit high strung sometimes. Obviously I don't rely on it to relax me. I don't really need it either. It's not like I work a stressful job. My job is easy.

and what's the point of jerking off? You can't reproduce that way. It should not be done. Sex is only for reproduction. Thusly oral sex should not be desired either.

I really wish you would debate that 80% of yours. I lived on the streets for a few years, and I volunteer at a soup kitchen now. I can tell you fron personal experience that most people do not 'choose' to live in poverty. Why would anyone wake up one day and say "I have always wanted to know what it would be like not to know where my next meal will come from, or what it feels like to have the cops throw me out of my squat at 3 in the morning."

Please tell me you don't really believe that

LOL I didn't comment on that before.

But living on the streets isn't a good way to get free food . I would think being a restaurant critic is a better way to get free food.

In any case there is a little disease called alcoholism in case no one has heard of it. And from some of the posts here, obviously no one has. People don't choose to become alcoholics, they just do.

Alcohol's bad points far out weigh its good points. Any form of pleasure is good experience, but if you keep doing it, you are just stupid. It's like putting your hand in fire.

All of you should be trying to get rid of your weaknesses, only then will you be truly happy. Alcohol makes you happy like Britney's boobs get bigger.

Don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs. Doesn't bother me. I like being in full command of my faculties. Doesn't mean I don't have fun either. My friend's 18th birthday party was just as fun for the half of us who didn't drink as for the half who did - and we remembered more of it

I drink in moderation, and have done for years. Getting drunk isn't fun, but I always notice that at parties no one dances for the first hour or so, until they're a little more relaxed becasue of alcahol. I think it helps parties, and having fun, and though it's not required, in moderation it does little damage (or at least most things I've read say that). It's not that I need alcahol to have fun, but I feel more relaxed and easy going after a few, as I'm generally shy, but less so when drinking. Besides, I like the taste of alcaholic drinks, if I didn't, I wouldn't drink it.

Almost all food has something in that alters your state of mind, in a small way. I don't see what makes alcahol so bad? In moderation it can even be beneficial to some people (helps high blood pressure). I commend you for you abstination from alcahol, but I don't think it's really needed, as long as people are responsible. If no one drank, life would be a lot less interesting IMHO.

Oh boy, there we go again
=>
paiktis, that one's old!! (damn I thought it was just a little story, i can't remember, I should ask my father again, he's into cardiology and that **** )


Until 4 months ago I never drank anything because I didn't like beer. Now I do drink a lot, but not everyday, usually just 1 day, when we do all kinds of freaky stuff, including beer games, which are really fun (I didn't like drinking that 1 liter of beer "ad fundum" though...)

Luckily I don't easily get drunk, and i never have a hangover, which is really nice, because I can go to class without any problems the day after

There is this one dude in my club that was "beer king" 5 years ago or so... he had 69 beers...err lol, but that's just a decadent game that i'm not going to explain, i prefer having a few beers and keeping it cool !

Mind your balance, Speer. If you fall off from that high horse, you're liable to break your neck.

I have never had a drink of alcohol, and never will. But I certainly do not hold it against people if they partake in potent potables; people can do whatever the hell they want as long as it doesn't interfere with my life.

Now, young Mr. Speer, I'll advise you to seek medical attention for the removal of that stick up your rectum. For heaven's sake, whatever you do, don't try to pull it out yourself--instant colostomy. Professional help is required.

And, for the 554,391st time, will you kindly change that abominable handle of yours?

Speermint thinks his handle is cute, because it gets him attention. Just be thankful he's past his holocaust denial threads ("I've never seen any bodies in pictures in those camps. Did the Germans really kill anybody?") from a couple years ago, and last year's (or was it this earlier this year, and just a luckily faded memory?) "My love life: Part I-XIII" threads featuring the perils of Leean or whatever the hell her name was.

You've missed the great moments that have defined Speer: The holocaust denial threads, the "let's starve 'tards' to death and ship food to Africa" thread, the "why don't we just kill off old people, they're useless" thread, the 13 or so "My love life" about a white boy wannabe badass with a bleating obsessive hangup over some chick named Leean or something who may or may not have been vaguely aware he was alive.

The "I'm so abused, my evil mom beats the crap out of me for no reason" threads, and oh, there's dozens more Speer moments. He just shows up less often and posts less crap in recent months.

"I thought that Speer was a muslim? "

I don't think he is, though he sometimes quotes from Islamic scriptures. His previous suggestions of killing all retarded people certainly does not mix well with Islamic beliefs. He merely has a combination of beliefs taken from all sets of beliefs to make him the biggest dumbass possible. The funny thing is though how he has always talked about how important it is to conform while he doesn't realize how deviant and nerdy he is being.(no offense to any nerds out there).
