You get the idea. Non-drinkers are no-fun. You gotta drink to be cool.

Haha, I definitely don't follow the norm. Even with school, I was going into computers for the money but now I am switching to English because I want to make movies (my passion), I don't even care if I am poor anymore, I am going to have fun in my life and do what I want to do.

Obviously then it's not you being cool, it's the alcohol. "Cool in a bottle, for those who just can't cut it themselves!"


They just did that study with the water and vodka where they all thought they were drinking and the ones that just had water still had impaired memory and acted more impaired.

It's all in your head. Some people (like me) are just shy and so if we are drunk or people think we are drunk, then they might act differently, or seemingly cooler than usual.

Your turn... ;)

"Zinfindel," she thought. "Does that even go with trout? Oh well." Her movements were sudden as she prestidigitated a good-sized fish out of nowhere and trout-smacked SnapIT upside the wine glass.

:p

She did in fact think that she had him, but actually, he didn't look as surprised as she thought, he just smiled, it was a friendly smile, a from-the-heart smile... and went into the kitchen to get another glass...

"pour me a scotch" he said as he handed the glass to the surprised young woman...

Your turn...

Liquid courage.

If you don't need it to have fun, more power to ya. I just find it easier to have a good (read great) time. I respect people who don't wanna drink, just as people respect me when I turn down pot.

straight from the other thread:

Personally? Never touched the stuff and probably never will. Just a personal choice though; my family and friends are free to do as they choose and it doesn't bother me, so long as they don't try to get me to drink. Why? Well, my family has some history of alcoholism, so I've seen the bad part of what it can do to someone. I figure if I don't start, I'll never miss it. On a less serious note, I've just never really seen a point to getting pissed, and I am plenty capable of making a perfectly good idiot of myself without having to be drunk :p

And yes, I am old enough to drink - Age isn't a problem (22)

She hadn't put the trout down, still handling it menacingly. "You bastage!" she screamed, shattering the glass on the floor. "You don't think I know that's the scotch you opened last night when LordMaul was here? Of all the people... you could have ruined my life with... did it have to be LordMaul?"

Oh, quit being the victim. You downed a case of Heinies before you even got there.

:D

/me apologizes for breaking into this precious scene

I killed the bouncer. Sorry, he didn't seem to like my clothes so I had to stuff him in the beer cooler.

He would have screamed at her, but he was just so surprised, thunderstruck kind of... LordWHO he replied, you have to be kidding me, he isn't even my type...

Now, you clean up that glass and sitt your butt down, you do as i say... I could have ruined your life, if i wanted to, but i didn't, so relax, clean up and maybe i will rub your feet later on... if you act as you the woman you are...

Now get a new glass and pour me that scotch *women, why do i even bother, he tought*

Your turn... *he thought*

Turned icily calm, she refused to give him the remotest bit of satisfaction by seeming to believe his innocent facade. "I won't buy into your lies like ThunderBooty did. And I won't grovel because you say to. You offer me a ride home from a My Little Ponies Collector's convention and you think that I'm some girl you picked up from a bar somewhere. Forget it. I'm going back to my great-grandma."

The social pressure to drink is huge, and the "cool" factor causes ignorant people to make those types of comments.

I use it when I go clubbing, in case my wooden one breaks when I'm near a nice baby seal.

he smiles, my hands off? Like usual, he smirks as he says it...

Let me drink this scotch and then we hit the shower.... and this time... no biting...

I will tell you, he said, with the glass in his hand, kind of pondering why the scotch had a green shade... i did it for you, only for you...

He drank that scotch as if it was water, smiled at her, and said... let's go...

Your turn...

"Who do you think I am, HappyKitten?" she exclaimed. "Either you give me the backstory on the yogurt or I'm outta here right now. Besides, I've seen your shower before. The Marines are doing training drills in the mold."
