Title: How often do you fellas drink??
Post by: Davidtheman100 on October 04, 2015, 11:02:55 AM
I don't like drinking very often as it doesn't have any positive effect on bodybuilding...and I get way too angry when I drink...but yet - I find myself drinking on a lot of occasions...just curious to see what everyone else around here does?

Hardly ever. Most, if not all alcohol tastes like shit.

I believe most men drink, despite not liking the taste, because it makes them feel like "real" men.  :-\ :-\

How many people can honestly say they like the taste of beer? Most of it taste like shit. Most men drink because its what is expected of them socially, i.e., have a few beers with the guys while watching football.  ::) ::)

If it alters you in a positive way mentally you start to like the taste because you start to associate the taste with the kick. Just like you may start to "like" other foul tasting/smelling drugs.

I like a pint with a Saturday night curry or a Sunday lunch - that's the only time I drink really. But it's only ever one pint and once I've got the taste for it I never have a second. I don't understand these guys that can drink five or six pints in an evening - don't see the point of it.

I do like a nice single malt whisky every now and again too when the mood takes me. Straight - no water, ice, or mixers. That stuff puts hairs on your chest 8)

they might ask you the same question...if
The taste of alcohol isn't particularly good and you aren't drinking enough to feel any effects why even do it at all? When I drink it's usually hard liquor and I drink a lot of it...this is more
Often than I'd like but still isn't a lot..maybe 2 times a month

Well, this goes with any taste or smell. We make associated with tastes and smells, and each has a distinct psychological affect on us, which is either going to make the taste/smell aversive or favorable.

Exactly. I mean, Ill have a beer with a burger or something, but never understood those who drink every day or get shit faced. What's the purpose? At that point, the alcohol is not even enjoyable any more. There is no way that someone drinks a 12 pack of budweiser every night because they like the taste.

You need to make a distinction with drinking for pleasure and drinking for the sake of getting drunk. I do the former, and never the latter. Don't see the point. I like the taste of beer just enough to be able to say I'm satisfied with one pint and then the feeling of wanting a beer is out of my system, same goes for whisky or any other short drink.

“Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you’re allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It’s like killing yourself, and then you’re reborn. I guess I’ve lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now.”
—Charles Bukowski

yes. the social / peer pressure starts at an early age. especially in countries like britain and ireland where drinking alcohol is practically the norm. your (legal) 'first pint' is a coming of age milestone. plus there was a great pub culture once. good times 8)

Well, I also would not wish to put my family in harms way.  Nor anyone else for that matter.  As I said, it is a personal choice and my father and grandfather knew of my decision.  In fact, my grandfather refused to drink anytime he was around me out of deference to me.

On occasion I am still called upon to be a designated driver.  Free pop! ;D

It was from an episode of an original from 1965 (?) Flintstones ("Itty Bitty Fred") wherein Fred invents a diet drink he calls "Fred-O-Cal" and it shrinks him down to where he passes for a ventriloquist's dummy.

Not often. A few beers when I take the lady out to dinner once a week. Whenever I go camping I get shitfaced on whiskey every night. Going on a canoe trip tomorrow. Have to portage a few miles everyday, yet I'm bringing 3 bottles of whiskey for 6 days. Every ounce on your back makes a difference so I really shouldn't. My friends say I have a problem but the only time I drink is in front of a fire.

I hope I am not among that "group", LOL!  I lived the example for my children and my wife.  My wife will not have a glass of wine if I am there as she says I make her feel "uncomfortable" but if she is with her friends during Christmas, for example and I am working, she will have a glass.  My daughter will have the occasional glass of wine too.  So far my son does not drink alcohol and while that is what I would prefer, he is an adult. 

I was told once by a family member that I should lighten up and try wine or beer, especially during the holiday season.  Even though I am adopted I will not risk it.  Stupid?  Nope.  Just cautious.

I`ve never seen anything good come from drinking excessively............s ocially is a totally different animal as long as you can distinguish between the two.


But has it made you humble? ;) Or was it the men in thongs that made you humble?lol Drinking made you the great man you are today...

“Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you’re allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It’s like killing yourself, and then you’re reborn. I guess I’ve lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now.”
—Charles Bukowski

Some people stay sober because they are afraid to face drugs.



I would say sticking a needle in your shoulder or glute from something that 99% came from unregulated China is way more of a form of suicide than drinking beers/alcohol that is regulated by most first world countries...

Don't really like getting drunk anymore.  Takes 2 days to recover from a good bender.

I don't drink beer or pints (apart from a very rare pint of Guinness). I am a big mark for whiskey however, neat sometimes with ice or a splash of water. I will usually do this once or twice a week. I just grew to love the taste of whiskey, a good scotch is perfect. If you choose a respectable, expensive brand it makes drinking "responsibly" a reality. Helps to relax, doesn't make you feel drunk in the typical sense and there is zero after effect the following morning.

Ahh probably a little too much these days. 2 days usually but sometimes 3 days a week. More during the holidays. I'm not a huge fan of beer, a cheap pilsner will do it for me. I like a good scotch whiskey, islay, single barrel. Laphraoige, Lagavulin or Ardbeg.

Hardly ever. Most, if not all alcohol tastes like shit.

I believe most men drink, despite not liking the taste, because it makes them feel like "real" men.  :-\ :-\

How many people can honestly say they like the taste of beer? Most of it taste like shit. Most men drink because its what is expected of them socially, i.e., have a few beers with the guys while watching football.  ::) ::)

I drink wine every night. Too much tbh. Love the taste love the effects. Vodka tastes like shit to me but each to his own.

Good Russian Vodka (made from potatoes), when kept in the freezer where it gets thick and syrupy, can be very nice. I add it to lemonade. - Makes it more refreshing.

If it alters you in a positive way mentally you start to like the taste because you start to associate the taste with the kick. Just like you may start to "like" other foul tasting/smelling drugs.

Doesn't inhibit gains...Inhibits fatloss to a degree...So essentially if you have macros set for bulking there is no reason why you can't drink....You can be nutrient deficient in many areas and still experience muscle growth...Either way though...This is a MUCH HIGHER number of people that drink on here than i thought...I figured most people would be against it and i would be one of the people who drank more...I guess not lol

I don't think anyone here is eating perfect enough and training perfect enough for it to make a difference. Going 5-6 hours without eating is going to do far more damage than getting fucked up a few times a week.
