Consuming alcohol is a sign of weakness.

What about when I masterbate? What does that count as?

Hmm thanks for reminding me, I've got half a lime and 3 Coronas sitting in the fridge.

And many people would say that takillya is one of the most vile substances you could pay to drink.

Do you mean tequilla? ;)

Good beer is... well... good. If you're drinking the crap that comes out of the typical apartment party keg, its usually piss from a guy who recently drank beer.

It counts as excercise. Plan and simple.

Actually, beer has the worse hangover, if you drink equal amounts of alcohol that is. Beer has many more toxins in it than liquor does, and since you're drinking a much higher volume, you get a much worse hangover. With liquor it is much easier to go way beyond what you would drink if you just drank beer, which is why you get worse hangovers from them typically. But I can guarantee my worst hangovers are from nights I only drank beer.

You?re traveling through another dimension.
A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind.
A journey into a wondrous land, whose boundaries are that of imagination.
That?s the signpost up ahead that says booze.
Your next stop: the Minendo zone"

Well of course. A case of beer is what 10 shots?

Some alcohol is beneficial to your health :)

Indeed, glass of RED wine every day is quite good for your arteries and heart.

About. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying though. Are you saying it's much easier to drink 10 shots than it is to drink 12 beers, at least for hangover purposes? Because, I would wholeheartedly agree with you.

No doubt. My worst nights(and days after that) EVAR were from some long islands that were about 6 shots deep with coke for coloring.

It's waaaaaaay to easy to consume hard alcohol faster than beer. With beer I usually just get full and bloated feeling before I get to the real hangover point like can with booze.

Why not spend some time educating your palate rather than simply rejecting an entire cuisine (not sure if we can call it that, but I'm going to do so anyway) based on such limited experience? Find a pub that serves a wide variety of beers, and try them.

I had a Brooklyn Chocolate Stout and a Chimay Quadruple last night. Two beers is about all I tend to drink, because after that and the pleasure of a good drink is greatly diminished for me; the fact that the Chimay is 9% ABV didn't help any.
