What is the need to drink alcoholic beverages?

It doesn't make me feel better. Nor Does it make my happier. It makes me feel ten times more depressed and very loopy. My type of fun and enjoyment is a long walk on the beach, watching the sun set over the big lake, out bike riding on the trails, road trip to wherever, or a good movie with that special someone.

What few gals I've been with all seem to think that you cannot have fun and enjoy yourself without having a half or whole case of beer.

MMMMMMM where do you find these beer swilling bims?

I need a good date for the weekend.

you just seem to have all the luck.

Dude...they don't drink to make you feel better. They drink cause they like it and it makes THEM feel better. Probably best that you don't drink cause people with depression make terrible drunks. Happy people make happy and lovey drunks.

So, make it easy on yourself. Don't do drunk chicks. Pretty basic stuff. Go out on a friday night or saturday night (no earlier than 9pm) to whatever event and you look for the chicks without a drink. Try talking to them.

I personally don't care what a woman does as long as she and I are cool.

I don't drink, so I don't understand the drink ^_^

En Vin Vittus.

(in wine, there is truth)

<----Is a really happy drunk.....

I don't have to drink I drink cause I enjoy a good drink here and there.

I'm a happy person when I drink....

Some can handle drinking and then there are those that really need to leave it alone.

Even though I enjoy a drink does not mean I can not do things that do not involve drinking.....I can still have fun and not drink.

<<-- knows better than to drink

tequila makes my clothes fall off

I'm not sure what kind of girls you date, but I know that there are PLENTY of us out there who don't "have to" drink. I know when I do drink, socially that is, it's usually because a) I enjoy the taste of whatever's being served, and b) because I'm at a social event where I don't know a lot of people, and that little bit of a buzz helps me to be less shy and awkward, allowing me to meet a lot of really delightful people. Of course, I'm in college, so naturally there are going to be times where EVERYONE is plastered, but I feel like that's more of a passing phase than anything. After college it's called alcoholism.

Total agreement.

I haven't touched the stuff since I was 22, and never will again.

I don't want to be involved with a drinker. And this creates a problem because there don't seem to be any non-drinking women on dating sites.

Hey got a bottle in the freezer.....

drink it for me

Its a bit of an epidemic to get high these days for well over half of the population under forty...or THATS my opinion anyway for those that I know..
If its NOT through drinking,,its through some form of escaping the feelings of norm,,,that we stay within.,,Many smoke pot,,many do much more..and through any and all,,I also agree that in order to really feel happy and laugh with life,,no ANYTHING should have to be used to get there.
And anyone who uses ANYTHING to make them FEEL HAPPY,,even if its through their meds that they MIGHT abuse..
THEY will ALL TURN TO THAT,,,to consider having fun,,or to WANT TO LAUGH,,,because THAT will consume their minds to believe that BY NOT FEELING REALLY HAPPY,,THEY CAN DO that and GET THERE..

I get happy off of life,,off of what life is and the funny things that people can do for their laughs,,,

I've did many drugs and booze when I was young,,,never acquired a habit using any of them,,for I never ever relied on them to make me feel happy,,THEY just in mind,,,enhanced me to be foolish in front of others to have them laugh with me..

Now,,I can be as foolish in front of an army if I wished to and not feel THAT WRONG,,,but as we're all full of manhood and toughness the younger we are,,then ITS even harder to be silly for fear that others might see that as being weak...

many men and women use drinking to help them be MORE bolder with and around the other sex,,,more able to be OUT-THERE and have fun,,,rather than residing in their shells ,,that IF NOT for the booze in them,,,they could NEVER act silly in front of people..

If your with a drinker or someone who get high,,,THEY will ALWAYS try and get YOU that way as a suggestion,,because they want you to see them as being OK doing it in your presence,,,and because they know you also will be in a vulnerable mode to have sex with them..

The many here now who will read THIS and disagree with this,,,are probably those who use SOMETHING every week and do not want to see THAT as a problem they have,,,so their stay blind to it,,,for it will never change their thoughts of doing their high....never until inside them,,they know all it has done to them,,and around them..I've lived long enough to have lost way to many close friends over ALL OF THESE AND KNOW THEIR HARMS CAUSED TO THE ONES WHO LOVED THEM,,all for the sake of a night to go out and have fun,,,,,

I am not putting anyone down,,but just talking real values of having a good time and being with someone,,, laughs can be made and enjoyed MUCH,,through a clear mind,,,because IT won't forget ANY details of whatever your experience with them was,,,and the conversations..

I am no freakin saint here,,I use to get high MUCH and still can drink some booze with no issues or change in my actions...but I also have slept with many women who neather of us remembered much from the night befire because we were both shiiiiit faced,,,and even had one sleep with me doing q-ludes,,and during sex freaked out and left me,,saying she didn't even know me,,,so I have played,,and done much...

life is full of all of us one day,,,,,waking-UP....

Funny, tequila does that to me tooooo...
Although I drink very little or often, I do enjoy a good margarita when its hot outside.. I did go to a singles party a few yrs ago(it was over July 4th for 4 days) I ended up staying a month.. Thats a long story...

I used to drink to lose my inhibitions but later found that maybe some of my inhibitions are a good thing.

Why Miss Fox,,,,I am just amazed,,,,,,here,,do tell.



It sounds like a good time for ya and thats what counts,,,,,,,

Hummm I have never forced the issue on others to drink that don't....

Those that do not partake in a drink from time to time that is their privilege. I'm respectful to those that do not.

Just because I choose to have a drink once in a while does not mean that I don't know my limits and can not maintain my senses about me.

Sure when I was younger I was known to get stupid drunk.... it was all about getting drunk. Now I drink for the pleasure and because I really enjoy a good drink from time to time.
