The Beer Thread

How are you youngins always getting beer? Edit: Nevermind that's a dumb question. When I was 18, I had boozing buddies. Now that I'm 20 though it's worse.

I'm 24, mate.

If you think 20 is bad, wait til your 21. Every other night is somebody's 21st and your expected to go out. Thank god that period in my life is over. I will say though, that drinking isnt what it use to be. By that i mean its not all about getting drunk anymore. Its about having a good time with close friends, or friends that you can be around when you want a drink. Get retarted on a regular basis loses its appeal when you can buy it legally. I guess thats why the Europeans have it right with the young drinking ages. Most study abroad students (at least at my school) can hold thier liquor and understand limits, unlike most American college students.

I already am not about "getting retarded/fucked up". I just like to relax and have a few with some friends or even family. I just want to be able to go buy a bottle of something to have around or get a few beers when I'm having a stressful day. It would be pretty damn annoying to have friends that just want to blackout all the time and I'm really not into the party scene.

To Hand of Heaven: Eight shots for a "decent buzz"? Holy hell boy, you have a serious tolerance. Eight shots and I'd be pretty damn drunk maybe even bobbing and weaving. I am 6'3" and 180lbs.

I used to drink Corona but I've always been a fan of hard liquor. But theres this new energy drink that just came out with Lots of Caffiene and 8.0% Alocohol level. Its pretty fucking sweet, i think it was called titt.

Well, then you fell into the right crowd early because my friends just want to get retarted. I use to be like that when i first entered college, but learned quickly that shit can really hit the fan when you are really messed up. I still drink with my friends, but im alot more cautious to my surroundings and how much i have been consumming. In reguards to drinking with family memebers, i think thats awesome. I drink with my family and its all very casual. Actually, i like drinking with them better sometimes then with friends because there is no pressures being pushed onto you.
