I've never drank alcohol before, what's it like?

Good, you shouldn't until you've got the right age. Really. It damages brains and livers and whatnot.

Well, it's, like, dizzy. And you get emotional (at least I do). It's a widely accepted way to loosen up things at parties or feasts, but unfortunately, like with all things, some people just don't know when to stop :/

Just the idea of drinking scares me so much and I have no idea why. Like I am no where NEAR the age where I should be concerned about it, but it's terrifying to me.

I tried a bit of beer once since my stepdad was drinking it. It was pretty disgusting, and I know I'm never gonna drink alcohol unless it's the kind served at church. The wine there tastes pretty good <3

 

[-Jared-]

The only alcohol I have ever drank is the wine at church, and the one time my mom's drink was sitting next to mine and I accidentally grabbed her drink instead of my water. XD I was like "*gulp* Woah that wasn't water!" But yeah, I don't intend to ever intentionally drink until I of am legal age, and even then, I doubt I'll drink very much.

Yes, but in great quantities. You don't just drink a bit then get brain damage.
Drinking is fine in moderation. I have been drinking for years and nothing is wrong with me.

Anyway, it all depends on the person. I never liked beer before, but the taste grew on me.​

[Sweet Candace]

Moderation is important. It's best to drink in moderation.

 

[Capris]

I remember reading that a glass of red wine with your dinner or whatever is actually good for you. :o

I don't drink much myself but I love it when I do. I just don't have the opportunity that much.

Are you sure about that?

Anyway, I'll probably never drink, though smoking looks tempting...

Put it this way, if drinking instantly damaged your body, it wouldn't be legal.
It would be classed as a drug and banned.​

​

 

[Capris]

why would you not want to drink but find smoking tempting? >_>

At least you get something out of drinking, with smoking all you get is a sore throat, cancer and apparently temporary stress relieve. Which always translates into a headache whenever I give it a go.

This would make more sense if marijuana was legalized and alcohol and cigarettes were illegal.

 

[Captain Fabio]

See, it is a very interesting debate over drugs being legalized, since some aren't addictive and so on.
But, the government make a lot of money from tax off those two substances.

ALSO! A tip on smoking coming from a ex-smoker. It is a horrid thing that leaves you with a foul taste in your mouth. The only reason I did it was for stress relief, because it did work. But it isn't worth it for the consequences.​

​

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Damn is there anything out there that won't kill you? Or not have harsh consequences?

 

[Capris]

Nope, eating grilled foods gives you cancer! We're all going to die! D:

 

[Meganium]

Wait, really? And I ate grilled chicken last night. :| Well, I got sick from it.

 

[Rena Ryuugu]

.... Wait... does it really? How/why?

 

[Captain Fabio]

A lot is just myths and not actually true, but the main are obvious.
On a funny note, according to a STUPID newspaper in the UK (Daily Mail), water can give you cancer. Can't remember their reason, but google 'daily mail cancer list' and have a lol!​

​

 

[Rena Ryuugu]

Hahaha, cancer I'm not sure about, but one of my mums friends basically only drank water and she ended up having a stroke, so it's still not entirely good for you :T

 

[Capris]

Nope I'm serious, it has something to do with the carcinogens created through the heating process and the charred bits left on the food. Obviously it's not as bad as smoking a cigarette but I thought it was fitting to mention since it was brought up that everything is secretly bad for us. xD

I'll go look for the article I found on it now.

 

[Sweet Candace]

Some things are ridiculous, yet people are gullible enough to believe them.
