Alcohol, of all forms, is good. We should all drink more of it.

I think it's kind of cute how we have our own little prohibitionist. Let's pinch his cheeks.

Booze - it'll cure* what ails ya.

Actually, I do sometimes take alcohol medicinally. I get esophageal spasms which can be quite painful (think of a fat man driving his knee into your chest). The alcohol relaxes the muscles lining the esophagus. Only other remedy I have is nitro pills which produce side-effects almost as bad as the ailment (headaches, overall feeling of unwellness).

You...take alchohol medicinally...is it contagious?!? COUGH ON ME RIGHT NOW, MISTER STONE!

Reminds me of the joke about the guy on an airplane. He's sitting next to a woman and every 10 or so minutes he sneezes. After each sneeze he takes out some tissues, opens up his pants and cleans up a mess. After the 3rd or 4th time, the woman can't ignore it anymore and asks him what's going on. He says, 'Well, I've got this strange condition where everytime I sneeze I have an orgasm." She responds with, "Oh, that's awful! Are you taking anything for it?" "Yes, pepper!"

I never got a clear answer on cause. Probably damage caused by years of acid reflux.

Whoa whoa whoa, hold on one second there! I resent that remark. I think drinking to EXCESS is a stupid thing to do, yes. I never said I think alcohol is inherently bad or that it should be restricted in any way. Wait, hang on, there's a better way to put this...

I would have phrased it differently.

Well you did say that drinking is "dangerous and pathetic".

It is, when people drink irresponsibly. I don't see any good reason to ever drink for the purpose of getting drunk.

Hmm. I can also see no good reason for riding a roller coaster or listening to country music other than the fact that it is fun on occasion. What does that have to do with anything?

There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism,... those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.

You failed to add that qualifier before; but that still leaves out which definition of drinking responsibly are you referring to?

LobsterMobster wrote:

What other purpose is there? If someone isn't drinking booze for the intoxicating effects, then why are they drinking alcohol at all?

I've heard soem people try to claim that they were drinking for the taste; but strangely enough they still drink enough to at least get a buzz.

Those things aren't harmful to yourself and others.

Roller coasters can be plenty harmful.

I've seen the worst of what alcohol can do to innocent kids. I was an RA in a freshman dorm.

Did the alcohol jump from behind a corner and stab them in the face, or did they willingly drink it? If it's the former, then the alcohol did something to them. If it's the latter, then we have to apply this little thing we like to call personal responsibility.

Yes they are worth it. The freedom is worth the cost. Besides, prohibition has already been proven ineffective.

As hard as it is to believe, some people actually like the taste of alcoholic beverages: wine, scotches, microbrewed beer... I know, I know, freaks!

Though I'd agree that getting tipsy and operating a chainsaw in a public place is not precisely responsible, I don't see why anyone would have any objection to my sitting in my parlor with a few pals and getting paralytic drunk while talking about crazy things we did on our motorcycle trip through Vietnam. Quite frankly, it is no one's business.

I had a response typed up but anyone that thinks I'm for prohibition obviously isn't reading my posts anyway. I'm out of here. Feel free to go back to talking about how awesome it is to get so drunk you f*ck your sister.

I for one enjoy the waste that Saccharomyces produces. Sorry, I'm being a little nerdy. Alcohol in moderation is good, in excess it's bad. I've learned it the hard way. I've been at the bottom and I've worked my way back up to the top thanks to a little bit of personal responsibility (and zero).

I'm sure scoli meant for this to be a happy fun time thread and it's too bad it turned sour. Let's just all get along.
