Where do you think they get the water that is added to your beer and other drinks?

It better be fish-free water, dambit!!

Actually, that's an infamous W. C. Fields quote. Before your time, perhaps...

I drink because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I drink.

Time to see who the alcoholics are.

Smoking down works better and quicker

Well I fell into prison about a quarter till three
Where I found in my cell a glass waiting for me
So I filled what was empty and I pulled up a stool
But he stood in the corner, the old devil wouldn't move
He said, "You drink when you're lonely." No I drink when I want!
He said, "You'll never be sober." Sure. Why would I want that?
I only drink to be merry but unfortunately
I'm in the wrong prison cell and the wrong company

because it makes the wimmenz seem hotter but then i sober up to find that it's all an illusion set on by the booze monster.

so you can't have fun while sober?

Person A: I ride my bike because it's fun.
Person B: So you can't have fun when you aren't riding ur bike? harh ahrhar

LOL riding a bike is good for you, alcohol is a poison....

I wasn't claiming that one is better than the other; I was pointing out that his response made no sense (i.e., if someone says they find something fun, it makes no sense to assume that's the only thing they find fun).

Alcohol is not necessarily a poison.

All I was saying is that if you can have fun while not drunk, why do you have the desire to get drunk? Seeing as how getting drunk will simply make you look stupid (except to other drunk people).

Riding a bike is another story. It's a form of exercise, and a lot of people (including myself) find it fun because of the physical exhilarations.

Alchohol is just a chemical suppressant that people drink to make themselves stupid (with the exception of wine) or to make their problems go away. I know one guy on my hall who openly said he "drank away his problems". Hell, if you have a problem FIX IT! If you can't fix it, ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON!

There's no problem with this formula unless the problem is chronically debilitating. In that case SEEK HELP.

To the kid's credit, a bunch of us on the hall have given him a pep talk or 2 and he's not drinking as much, but still...

Ok, I normally stay out of these type of threads....but that response is just too much...
First off, getting drunk does not JUST make you look stupid (actually, for a lot of people, they open up...and unless they are falling down piss drunk, they don't act stupid...). If all getting drunk did was make u look stupid, no one would do it.
It is FUN- it makes other things fun...it can make TV shows more entertaining- movies funnier, computer games better etc. Now I'm not saying you should always drink and do those things, and for me it's an occasional thing, but still- don't discredit the ENJOYMENT of drinking...it's like when people wonder why people smoke. Guess what- it feels good.
Again, I have never drank to make my problems go away except for very rare occasions (i.e. when I broke up w/ GF, I had a few beers w/ a friend). Also, I drink beer for the flavor. I love beer. I will have a single beer for the taste and not feel any buzz. Also, don't tell people to fix their problems or accept it unless you really have gone through hell and come out on the other side. There are some problems that you can't just accept or fix. Now I dont think alcohol is the answer either, but it just came off like you think anything that comes in your way you would be able to fix or accept.
Basically you are overstating everyones alcohol tendencies based on extreme examples and assumptions. Damn I dont think I agreed with a word you said.
