Reading Miles post about trying to cut down, Lyle and Van Childs debate about the best whiskey's and CFH's just general drunkenness has got me thinking about booze. The beverages not the poster, although he is in my head now. Specifically I'm thinking of when he contacted a total stranger with the great line 'Sorry about your dad's death, we live nearby and someone suggested you might like me, do you fancy a date'. It's making me laugh. hahaha
Anyway back to topic.
I only drink when I socialise. In the past I have enjoyed drinking to excess and getting drunk, even blacking out, so I'm certainly not against it, but I would never drink alone. I just don't see the point. I never have yet it seems there are many people who do, some even sounding like enthusiasts who drink not to get drunk but becuase of the taste and to try different brands and brews.
So what is your response to alcohol?
Do you drink only socially? Do you drink to get drunk, to forget, more confidence?
Do you love the taste or is the making and tasting of it a hobby?
Are you against drinking at all?
I guess my attitude to alcohol is that it is a social tool to bond with friends and get into a party mood. I drink to be connected to my beer drinking friends and of course the people around and thus the atmosphere. Just I wouldn't ever wear a tracksuit as clothing I wouldn't wear everyday clothes to a gym, the right tools for the right occasion.
I've never seen alcohol as a solo activity but am interested to see why so many others, maybe even a majority do?
