Anyone straight edge when it comes to Alcohol?

[UnatcoAgent]

So I was thinking about going flat out straight edge when it comes to alcohol, and just ceasing all intake together. I'm 20 and in good health, I was never a heavy drinker. I've been completely f**ked enough times to know the ups and downs, so to speak.

I havn't had a drink of anything since new years, but had a few white russians tonight and really felt quite sick. Not drunk, just ill. Maybe it was that drink itself, I'm not entirely sure.

Maybe I should just stick to drinking a light beer, if anything at all. Any thoughts from those who do / don't drink?

Drink in moderation?

 

[chasem]

doesn't alcohol and milk curdle? doesn't alcohol and any dairy curdle? I can see how you might have gotten a bit sick.

There is no reason to completely stop drinking unless you are alcoholic and can't control yourself.

Maybe the milk was bad for the white russians...i prefer just a beer. Hefeweizer or new castle or guinness.

I think this is what I've been missing really, enjoying a single good drink instead of drinking to just get fuzucked.

Kind of funny, my girlfriend is finally asleep after throwing up all evening. She had way too much vodka in one go, usually she can drink most under the table, but not tonight!

Thanks for the opinions guys.

First of all, since you are only 20, you shouldn't be drinking if you are from the states.

Second of all, if you are male, you shouldn't be getting tanked on white russians. No wonder you were sick. Learn how to be a college student and drink lite, watery beer like Bud or Coors.

R <--- Surley drunk tonight

Edit: Sorry so surley... try drinking good beers for flavor and not to get drunk. You'll be much happier that way.

Fair enough... sorry so surley. I should read what I type before hitting the reply button. Seriously... find a place that will give you a good pour of a good english beer, and learn to drink for flavor.

I'm 20 ... I've been completely f**ked enough times to know the ups and downs, so to speak.

You don't know jack at 20, you just think you do. No offense I didn't learn to properly enjoy being smashed till my mid 20s or so.

Hmm.. good point.

I'm an occasional beer drinker (twice a week or so); I usually don't drink hard a unless I really need to unwind from a stressful day (some brandy, etc). I personally have stopped drinking to get drunk (I'm 21); I know my limits and I know what I like in alcohol.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

blah dont make it such a big deal

 

[TitanDiddly]

I had a beer once.

 

[Falloutboy]

I usually have one or two drinks (usualy beer but ocationally some hard liquer) a night it usually helps me unwind from a long day at work. then I normally drink hard once or twice a mounth with friends.

People who drink to get drunk are dumba$$es with issues.

Umm... I can't seem to think of a good reason to drink.

hahaha...be realistic, no one pays attention to that law.

That said, I don't usually drink, but that's just because it's expensive and I don't really see the point.
