I am not even sure people really acquire a taste for alcohol, as much as they tolerate its taste.

Yes and no dude.

There are some beers that are amazing. There are some cocktails that are amazing.

A good Belgian White ale or a high quality whisky sour. Unbelievable. Slugging back vodka is a different story… same with red wine in my opinion. Disgusting

If you think hangover is bad wait until you have a withdrawal syndrome.

I was a functioning alcoholic for many years. Ran a successful business, still stayed in shape & made it to the gym, never got a DUI. Then when the Covid shut downs hit, my drinking went off the deep end. In just one year, damn near lost everything. All of this at the age of 53. Quit cold turkey, the detox was hell. Probably should have gone to the hospital

445 days sober today. No meetings, no 12 steps, no sponsors. I think AA is incredibly helpful for most people, it's just not for me

My teens, 20s and 30s were all about meeting different chicks and enjoying being single and nightlife around the world and so drinking was a part of that scene (even though I never really developed a taste for alcohol.)  Married life now, happily, for the past 15 years and rarely have a drink ... less than 10 beers per year.

He’s such a moron.

How many people are walking into NA meetings saying they are addicted to coffee or Tylenol  ::) ::)

It was obvious what I was talking about.

Alcohol is the perfect instrument for Shitzo’s long drawn out suicide.

Never understood someone without enough willpower to save their own life.

I say this because I care about the silly oaf. Time to be stronger than your excuses.

Nice job. Whatever you do, don't think you can have another drink. Been down that road many times. Always end up in the same place.

445 days is solid ground to stand on.

Because it makes them feel cool.

Like when men say they enjoy liquor. They only enjoy the idea of drinking liquor. No one will ever convince me that the taste of liquor actually tastes good.
If alcohol didn't get you drunk no one would bother with it, 100%. I'm with you, if you say otherwise you're full of it

I used to drink on Friday/Saturday nights off the base when I was in the Army, but after my deployment to Kosovo I PROMISED myself that IF I left the military to go to civilian life I would quit Alcohol and Cigarettes (I smoked a around 5 cigs a day so not that much!).
That was late 1999, and I never had another drink or smoke again and am thankful I quit then!!

I think you’re also spot on.

Who would drink alcohol simply for the taste, if it didn’t lead to a certain feeling? Who would actually drink liquor just because? I don’t buy it.

Exactly....people drink to alter their personality whether they get a mild buzz or blind fucking drunk.....no one drinks it because it tastes like chocolate milk.

Before church I presume. ;D

I've cut back. Two beers on a Saturday night. Twice a month.
Never was a big drinker.
No, in replacement of church. I grew up in a very strict religious environment and this is my way of saying "I won."  8)
