    At least among the people I've encountered on PC; I'm a bit of a rare find...

    I actually won't drink any form of alcohol at all. It's too dangerous for me, in my opinion to do so as my family history has addictions to it on both sides of the family pretty heavily.
    Same here. My family has a history of addiction and another relative was killed by a drunk driver. Add to that the fact that I have depression, so alcohol isn't something that I want to get in to. Plus, the smell of alcohol alone gives me a migraine. I can't imagine what would happen if I ever tasted the stuff.

    Me three.

    I had no intention of drinking alcohol for such a long time because my Dad was an addict until I was a junior in high school. All my memories and associations with it were really, really bad and I didn't care to relive these every time I had a drink.

    Although, as I got older, I decided that I could separate myself from my family's problem and could try to have a healthy relationship with it. I don't drink often because of my SVT (alcohol causes my heart to race if I have too much) but I do like wine, cider, or a good cocktail. I can't stomach most gluten free beers, yuck.

    Yeah I like to drink alcohol, but I tend to edge more towards spirits - My favourite drink is Disaronno and Coke, or even Disaronno by itself o_O

    However for Lagers and other stuff, I really don't like the taste of them, they are so gassy and horrible to drink ~_~

  • Nope, I'm good. I tried alcohol at my work's holiday dinner party recently and it was absolutely bleh. No interest in drinking more often really, always been happy with my water or tea. :'p

  • I like to drink. If I have beer, I will have at least one per day. Ideally I'd have two, but I like to extend my beer ownership as long as possible. My favourite beers are lagers and pilsners.

    Pilsners all the way. Nothing better than cold pils after a long day of work in summer.

    Here we have unpasteurized beer too, it's refreshing and doesn't cause heartburn for me, which some of beers sometimes do.

    I like having a drink sometimes. A beer at a social event, ya know. Some stronger drinks I do just like the taste of a lot, but I don't like getting drunk, so it's always that internal conflict

  • I'll have a drink occasionally, but not that often at all. Mostly if I'm out at a bar or party is when I'll drink.

  • I'm someone who actually tries to avoid alcohol, because I have nightmares about getting hangovers or being killed by being bashed or a drunk driver's car running over me. It also smells so terrible.

  • Yeah. I'll have a sangria or margarita once in awhile. Certain beers as well. Mostly social events.

    I do drink sometimes, though I stick to mainly a few flavors of beer, margaritas, wine, or wine coolers. I also do White Russians and Slippery Nipples (I wonder if PC will bleep out that word). One year I drank waaaay too much Disaronno, had a really bad hangover, and couldn't eat or drink anything sweet for a week. So that really turned me off any really sweet liquor, even now. I drink small amounts when I do drink it. lol

  • I'm at odds when it comes to drinking. I like drinking hard liquor, purely because it kind of allows me to let go of myself, which I guess is a bad thing. Like, I don't see the point (or appeal, and I've tried) of drinking purely for the taste or to not feel something. Multiple times, I drank and ended up really bad cause of my own **** that bubbled to the surface, but I've also had crazy fun adventures drunk.

    Recently, I guess I've matured more, and realize it's stupid. I was sober for about 7 months before I had a drink, and I didn't get really drunk then, but when I sobered up in the middle of karaoke, I felt like absolute crap, although I was also sick. I haven't drank since then, I don't really have any intention to. I have nothing against it, really.

  • The past 8 years or so, I've been very immature when it comes to drinking alcohol. I would just buy a 6 or 12 pack and not share with anyone but myself. This year, since I moved out of my parents' house, I've become very mindful, and only drink when I'm with friends or with the boyfriend, especially if I drove to the hangout.

    Last time I drank was on Christmas, never drank during New Years because I vowed not to. I didn't want to risk it.

    this doesn't seem very taboo. i like beer and whiskey best. i go out a lot so i'll have a drink or two a few times during the weekdays and on weekends i almost always drink. i like a little buzz, i don't get drunk that often.

  • I'm not a super heavy drinker, but I do enjoy drinking from time to time....well I suppose being at uni didn't help with developing responsible drinking habits hahaha, but no, I don't go overboard. I think I enjoy drinking the most when I'm with other people celebrating something, not just drinking for no reason. I'm not a fan or drinking at home either. It feels weird haha.

  • Haha, the short answer is yes.

    I love having a beer or a glass or two of wine after a long day at work. It's relaxing to come home to a nice beverage, sit a bit, and just watch some television, peruse PC, or what-have-you. I also like to party it up when the occasion is appropriate - and I've learned my limits well after five or so years of experience with alcohol. There was definitely some trial-and-error there... ahem. Drink of choice would either be Goose Island 312 or any nice, soft red wine. Hard liquor I limit a bit more, but I've been known to enjoy a few good cocktails. Holidays are always drinking occasions in my family.
