Don't see why it's so crazy. Is it THAT amazing that there are people under 21 who don't drink nowadays? It is illegal and all, I've seen what it can do to people, none of my friends drink regularly, etc. Also I don't enjoy the whole "party" thing; not my scene.
I am in the same boat and am tired of seeing and putting up with shit from people because of it, and not being able to find decent friends or girls who aren't in the crowd mentality in that context. And I think if you do something that alters you, like drink, for the sake of 'being social' in any way, you're weak. Also, I have no tolerance for how it tastes or smells, gtfo if you're in my face and have been chugging it.

On this point, I see nothing wrong with having a couple of drinks to reduce anxiety in social situations. For people who are shy, but maybe not enough to go on medication, drinking in social situations is really helpful. It has a far lower risk and cost than going on medications.

The unfortunate thing is, there's not really any choir to preach that to, the reality being it's pretty much all about doing it because it's the thing to do when it comes down to it, and then it turns into worse things....but even here, I still have a bit of a problem.. maybe shy people shouldn't have to worry about being persecuted by a bunch of assholes all the time and shouldn't feel the need to alter themselves to fit in, once again.

I like to drink. Fuck you if you don't like it (goes to the general audience and no particular person).

Can't speak for everyone, but I drink because I like what I drink. Drinking something you don't like just to fit in though is a completely different issue, and is full of the same fail as doing anything else to just fit in.

...No. You've got a real juvenile attitude about this. The only context you know drinking in is parties. When you grow up, you will realize this is not what drinking is about. 75% of the drinking I do is at home by myself. I like trying new beers and writing reviews, or grabbing something familiar to listen to music or read a book with. It's fun to catch up with friends by hitting a few bars.

bwahaha, that's where you meet Iggy, my friend. "When you grow up.." Rich! From someone a month and 10 days apart in birth. What do you know of me, sir? Piss off, please. I never said it was all about a party context, but a huge majority of it IS there, which encompasses ALL ages, and a huge majority of it also STARTS there, and NONE of *that* can be refuted. See 'pretty much' pretext. Good for you since you're not the same and so forth, have a cookie, be elite.
What I would ask is, if it comes down to it and no outside source is involved whatsoever, why would a person choose the alcoholic drink over the non-alcoholic, barring the hobby of something like wine or beer tasting? What is the trait or traits that push it, in it's own respect, far far above any other form of refreshment? Why do I not have a right to be suspect?
But I wouldn't ask, because I have no further use in this particular exchange with this kind of attitude responding to something *polite* I said.

To get drunk? Believe it or not some people enjoy doing that on their own. Why? Because for them it feels good, not that they have an obligation to explain themselves anyway.

Exactly. That's weak too, BUT I can *understand* for example if you're pretty much in the dumps and just don't give a damn anymore, then you have noone to answer to but yourself, I sympathize to an extent with depression and I also condone that kind of independance. Yeah, I think it's pretty weak, but you're not doing it and being a complete sheep at least, even if the reason you *started* drinking was sheepy. Kinda like suicide. Weak, but you do it because you've freed yourself from opinion...well, to an extent at least. That's a whole other discussion full of irony.
The taste thing is fine enough, now I only need to actually meet some people who are that way, any ideas?

There are no N/A beverages that replicate the flavors of an IPA or an Imperial Stout, or a glass of whisky. All of which are delicious.

It fucking feels good you motherfucking nerds. If I go out and have a beer with my friends or two or ten, it doesn't make me a fucking alcoholic or a bad person or whatever. It just feels good to have a fucking cigar, a fucking beer and to talk about fucking shit with some buddies. And I was doing this when I was 15 or 16 so it's not that I can now due to the law, it's just fucking normal. When I was 16/17, went to see some band, nobody drew any fucking crosses on my fucking hands because I wasn't a fucking adult. I guess it's different here altogether though so I don't judge you. It's good to not drink - I'm not saying it isn't.
that is the best post the thread has seen in the last however many amount of pages

So because I merely think some properties of some thing is weak, I'm s000per judgemental.....oh, and that's hilarious coming from the likes of you and all you've posted before, having uninformed idea after uninformed idea which I've been very polite about giving space....oh, and it's as if you seem to think I care whether or not my opinion on this - most of which you've clearly missed - offends the big bad metalheads here or not....oh, and it's as if someone as supposedly crappy as I am can.......can...can have an effect on you! Whatttt? Please, please, let it not be true........for the sake of making sense. Since when do you or most other people here with their panties in a bunch care what I or anyone else really think(s)? You've got your crowd, stick to them, yeah? If I'm such a loon, it shouldn't bother you.
