    wow we haven't had a thread about alcohol in months!!
    let's dish!!

    Do you imbibe? If so, how often?
    What's your drink of choice?
    Do you drink beer or wine?
    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    Do you consider yourself a lightweight? How much does it take to get you drunk?
     
    Do you imbibe? If so, how often?
    Not anymore, as evidenced by chugging 4 bottles of hard cider 2 nights ago. My self control is absolutely none when I'm anything resembling tipsy. So booze is a hard pass. I'll drink again in like 4 years, haha.

    What's your drink of choice?
    Cider. When I was a baby (like 17-18) I'd drink fuzzy navels with my parents at home. Then it went something like Mike's hard lemonade > hard cider, with occasional cherry vodka lemonades.

    Do you drink beer or wine?
    Beer's gross. Don't like hops. Wine's alright.

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    The one time I vomited from drinking was the night I did vodka redbulls. Do not suggest.

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    Dislike shots. I can't do them right (aka: shoot fast enough for them to not be gross).
     
    In short (even though it's the zero fun answer) nope and never will. Not even when I can do it legally.

    Too much addiction/death in my family from alcoholism. There's certain family members who I can't even recall ever seeing sober.

    And seeing how out of control some of my family gets after a couple drinks, I want no part in acting that way.

    My first offer was around 15, but I had already formed my opinions on this and declined.
     
    Do you imbibe? If so, how often?
    Not really. I'll have a few drinks every now and then, like months apart, and I'm careful not to drink to to the point of drunkenness cause that shit's dangerous for me.

    What's your drink of choice?
    Rum and ginger ale.

    Do you drink beer or wine?
    Fuck no. They are both revolting.

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    Beer and wine!

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    Nah. The point of shots is to get very drunk very fast. So if you're not aiming to get drunk and just want to enjoy a nice flavour, there's no point in shots. Ironically, I'm quite good at actually doing them thanks to having to take foul tasting liquid medications lmao.

    Do you consider yourself a lightweight? How much does it take to get you drunk?
    Hard to say exactly because I'm so careful to never actually get drunk. Past experience seems to indicate I have a pretty normal tolerance though.
     
    My first experience to alcohol is on my 19th birthday (legal drinking age in Saskatchewan) where I had a Piña Colada with Vodka. Needless to say, I only got through a few sips and then said I was done. I tried red wine and while I liked it for a few sips, I was disgusted by it later on. I then tried a few more drinks of other alcohol (a Vodka cooler and some spiked apple cider I think) and I just didn't like them at all. I really wanted to like alcohol but realizing I hate pop and recently tried soda water and hated that too, I came to the concussion that I have a distaste for bubbly drinks. If I'm feeling like giving alcohol another shot, I really want to try rum (perhaps make it a grog), hopefully it's not fizzy.
     
    Do you imbibe? If so, how often?
    It depends. Under regular circumstances, I don't really drinking over the working part of the week. But over the course of lock down, I did open a cold one after lunch more often because I could stay home.

    What's your drink of choice?
    Beer. My favorite is dark Krušovice. Ciders, Grog, Bailey's, Mojito and a bunch of other sweet-ish stuff is nice too.

    Do you drink beer or wine?
    Both. I'm more fond of beer, I'm always up for trying new ones. Although I'm not a big fan of wheat beers and american pale ale. I'm more of a dark beer type.
    I do enjoy sweet wines. Red and dry wines I'm not that fond of. I'll drink it though if it's a special occasion out of courtesy.

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    Vodka. It's just... awful.

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    On very rare occasions. I dislike drinks that are high in alcohol content because of the burning sensation that they cause in my throat. But when I do take them, it's mostly rakija. I tried tequila once and didn't think it was anything special.

    Do you consider yourself a lightweight? How much does it take to get you drunk?
    Oh yes. I get tipsy after 2 beers, 3 makes me fairly drunk. I guess you could say I can't handle my liquor well. I am a careful drinker, so it doesn't really matter much.
     
    Do you imbibe? If so, how often?
    Not too much lately. I actually only drink during parties and meetings with friends.

    What's your drink of choice?
    My prefered is probably the mojito. I do like almost anything with vodka or rum, tho.

    Do you drink beer or wine?
    I don't like beer; I could drink it without much problem and regret it later bc it's awful. Wine is ok, but not my drink of choice.

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    I once tried a Bloody Mary and I hated it.

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    I only took a vodka one once. I don't even think I took it correctly.

    Do you consider yourself a lightweight? How much does it take to get you drunk?
    I can last 2-3 mojitos, I don't know how good that is. The most I drank was like 4 glasses of vodka w/ orange juice and barely got drunk tho. None of the times I got drunk I got to the point of forgeting stuff or throwing up tho, just say dumb stuff more than usual, get very tipsy. I was even able to safely walk home lmao.

    Once a month at best, I think?

    What's your drink of choice?
    Red or white wine. <3

    Do you drink beer or wine?
    I like pretty much all wines! I haven't tried beers much so I can't say. The only beers I see here are those ones like coors light and heinneken which are super cheap and pretty awful apparently...

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    Beer XD Or some super heavy stuff unless it's mixed with soda or something...

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    Omg no just no my throat CANNOT handle it. It feels like I'm swallowing fire. ><

    Do you consider yourself a lightweight? How much does it take to get you drunk?
    Well I only weigh just barely over 100 lbs and I drink only on occasion so I'm definitely a lightweight. I once got really tipsy off that fungus drink which I forget the name off of... very fun time. xD

    Used to, but not anymore!

    What's your drink of choice?
    I've always been partial to Jack & Coke, Fireball, and Screwdrivers.

    Do you drink beer or wine?
    Not a fan of beer, definitely prefer wine. Beer always made me feel gross.

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    Any alcoholic beverages. :p

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    Loved 'em at the time. Would pretty much drink anything put in front of me so preference was meh. If I had to pick one jello shots? Maybe? idk.
     
    I don't drink, since I can't. My parents make it out to be the most evil thing in to world, for one thing. (It really isn't, though) and I also have pretty bad acid reflux that affects me pretty greatly. I'd imagine alcohol would probably bother that issue. If simple stuff like garlic, ketchup and red meat burn my throat/make me sick, I can't imagine how painful alcohol would be for me.
     
    Do you imbibe? If so, how often? Yes. Very rarely. I'm more of a social drinker.
    What's your drink of choice? I like wine coolers.
    Do you drink beer or wine? Ehhh it's not my fave.
    What will you absolutely NOT drink? Really heavy alcohol.
    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind? I'll take shots of tequila, or fireball.

    Seldom. If it's a social event and the occasion is a special one like a new year's eve party, then sure. It's a family tradition to pop champagne at the stroke of midnight to greet the new year around here. But it's not an everyday thing I do. I might drink once or twice all year. A couple of years ago I went to see a play on my birthday and there was a wine-tasting in the lounge before the show. I took a glass and ate some of the cheese and crackers on the buffet tables, and mingled with the crowds. It seemed like a good way to kill time until the performance. I have been invited on nice dinner dates and picnics and shared a bottle of wine, but would not have probably bought alcohol on my own. I'm more of a fruit smoothie lady, still I'm not afraid to try things, and will rise to the occasion if someone just hands me a goblet. "Nothing in excess" as the ancient Greeks day.

    When I have received gift baskets containing wine as presents during the Christmas season I usually just eat the chestnuts and fruits, then store the alchol or maybe use the spirits in cooking, enhancing a nice pasta sauce with red or white wine can be quite delectable.

    What's your drink of choice?

    Japanese Plum Wine. It's delicate, mild and sweet, almost like a cup of twangy punch.

    Do you drink beer or wine?

    Wine is alright, but I dislike beer. I can drink red wine, but I prefer the softer Chardonnay.

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?

    Moonshine. Someone gave me some at a party one time when I was 17. I reluctantly had one sip and wanted to spit it out. It tasted like I was drinking gasoline straight out of a car, my mouth was on fire for ages after one teeny taste. They could not get me to drink one drop more of that.

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?

    I haven't experimented enough to say. I have had some Scottish whiskey before though, it was very pleasant, but it was also really diluted liqueur with chocolate. So I'm arguably cheating.

    Do you consider yourself a lightweight? How much does it take to get you drunk?

    I have never been drunk before. I drink such a moderate amount even socially like a glass or two, that it's not enough to be drunk on. It's safe to say that I am a lightweight I think.

    Only was able to start drinking last year but I only drink when I'm with my friends. Have one friend group where a few of them love drinking so when we go out, they'll usually go buy alcohol and get drunk. Sometimes join in but I rarely drink - I've only properly drunk maybe 3 - 4 times at most.

    I honestly haven't tried many types of drinks but of the ones I've tried, soju has the nicest taste by far. A lot of my friends and I are Asian, so soju is super popular amongst everyone I know especially when having dinner at places like Korean BBQ. We often buy that if it's available. Have tried a bit of beer and wine but wasn't a super big fan from memory, maybe I'll warm up to it.

    I will try at least a sip of anything but haven't had any terrible experiences yet to have a drink I won't touch. I don't mind shots as it's what I do most of the time since we usually play drinking games.

    I think I have an OK tolerance - some of my friends have a concerningly high tolerance but I've also seen one of them throw up after half a standard so I'd say I'm in the middle. Funnily enough years ago when I was doing a blood test, they told me I have a high level of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol so maybe I have a good tolerance but haven't pushed it beyond slightly drunk. I also have terrible acid reflux like Palamon and it's part of the reason I'm careful not to drink as it makes me feel really sick. However since I've received stronger medication I feel a lot better as in the past all food made me sick and now I can eat even some of my triggers so who knows? But yeah don't really feel the need to drink, sure it can be fun but I'm good without it too.
     
    Do you imbibe? If so, how often?
    yes, but not that often u_u only when i feel like it and conveniently there's a pub nearby or someone else buys the drinks :^) i don't drink alone, but... i'm tempted to try?? not a huge tempt though i'm happy with my one constant drinking buddy

    What's your drink of choice?
    i have no idea how names work but the sweet mixed drink ones are great in general
    sweet things with vodka is nice. vodka lemonade has been interesting too!

    Do you drink beer or wine?
    wine is disgusting- at least the wine i had before, ew maybe that's my cue to try sweeter wines
    beer is okay, depends on the beer... i know a brand i'm absolutely not going to drink, but there's some that's just.. nice ig

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    wine :D oh and there's this rly shitty vodka, tito's vodka, and i'm never trying that again. the first time i tried it was via a prank and i was so close to dumping him on the pool in retaliation

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    i have been forced by my boss and my teammates to do shots smfh and you know what it's not that bad; that said i have absolutely no preference in any of these..... ok whiskey's good ngl

    Do you consider yourself a lightweight? How much does it take to get you drunk?
    i have been told by my team i am not a lightweight yet my drinking buddy (which is the 2nd most alcoholic person there smfh) has told me i am so going by that imma believe the more credible one and say probably yeah i'm a lightweight. no idea how much it takes to get me drunk though i havent actually been brave enough to cross that point lmao

    i might
    try : ^)
     
    Do you imbibe? If so, how often?
    I imbibe on the weekends. Sometimes both Friday and Saturday, other times only one of them.

    What's your drink of choice?
    Beer. And not lager crap. I am trying out lots of cool stouts and goses atm, and I'm partial to a sweet weiss or flowery IPA as well. Lots of craft beer.

    Do you drink beer or wine?
    Both, but beer way more often. Red wine is more of a delicacy or with dinner when out.

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    Jägermeister. And Vodka Pear. Also really sour vinegary, non-fruity beer. And Beer Geek Waffle Breakfast - avoid this like the plague, it is death made liquid and will haunt you.

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    No, they make me drunk too fast and too badly. I'm past the stage in life where I need or want that.

    Do you consider yourself a lightweight? How much does it take to get you drunk?
    I will feel the effects of a small 3% beer. I'm smol. You'll find a picture of me passed out under "lightweight" in the alcoholism dictionary.
     
    I drink beer or whiskey. Usually whiskey as of late because beer makes me burp a lot.
     
    Do you imbibe? If so, how often?

    I do occasionally. I've been drinking a bit more often since restaurants have re-opened here. I'm legal age now and I'm been taking full advantage of it. Though I drank a bit more frequently in high school.

    What is your drink of choice?

    I love blush wine or if I'm going out a peach Bellini or any saccharine cocktail!

    Do you drink beer or wine?

    I drank beer in high school at parties but it's never been a favourite of mine. Wine is my drink of choice, although I'm quite selective. The sweeter the wine, the more I enjoy it. Champagne is also delightful, though I solemnly indulge in it.

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?

    Whiskey, rum, or gin. Everclear is especially nasty. The only types of hard liquor that I'll drink are vodka and tequila. I also don't mind moonshine.

    Do you take shots - if so, what?

    I love pornstars and jello-shots. Vodka was always my favourite thing in high school, though lately I've been gravitating to tequila shots.

    Do you consider yourself a lightweight? How much does it take you to get drunk?

    I do, actually. I live by the phrase "go big or go home."

    even if I'm passed the legal age to drink
    I'm against alcohol - will never drink it

    especially with negative effects it does to the body, I do have three family members who are heavy drinkers, they get so violent and loud.... effects and consequences aren't wort it for me
    I'll never try it myself - I don't want to be seen that way

    at least those who enjoy it, hope they do it responsibly

    Before corona a decent amount, I'm at university and love the party culture, so I would drink maybe 2-3 times a week when I'm going out!

    What's your drink of choice?
    Either a specific cider called Thatchers Gold (might be exclusive to England idk?) or rum/vodka with a mixer.

    Do you drink beer or wine?
    I'll happily drink beer if its offered, I don't mind it but I prefer my drinks of choice :)

    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    Sambuca, I refuse to touch the stuff. I hate the taste of aniseed, and the thought of it with alcohol after some bad experiences of the drink just fills me with dread.

    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?
    I'll have most shots tbf! Apart from the devil juice Sambuca, I'll drink what most people suggest to shot, I'd probably say Jagerbombs are my favourite though!
     
    I don't drink and I have no real desire to. Alcoholism runs in my family.

    I did however try to get drunk once and didn't work, it does nothing to me so there's also that.
