PartOfYourWorld 08/14/11 9:48:00 PM #33:	From: OctilIery \| #021 but saying you don't do something because you can have fun without doing it is just stupid. I don't think those guys can express it very well, but I like to give them a bit more credit. I think most rational people understand that alcohol consumption can have its drawbacks. If nothing else, alcoholic drinks are more expensive. Alcohol can have potential health consequences, both long term and immediate. It is often an acquired taste and may repulse people initially (I'm still pretty grossed out by hard liquor). It's just that the people who enjoy it think "yeah, I know about the drawbacks, but it loosens me up and tastes good and makes the night fun, so I don't care." The other people usually just think "well I'm having fun anyway and I don't want the drawbacks, so I'll steer clear." Cost benefit analysis is all it is. -- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! <cite>PartOfYourWorld posted [p:211391] in Why do ant...

Ayuyu 08/14/11 9:50:00 PM #35:	Heh, I tried a few things like tons of different beers, wines, strong alcohol and stuff, only thing I ever kinda liked was vodka heavily diluted in orange juice (not like one of my friend who drink them 3/4 vodka 1/4 juice). Still, I liked it because it tasted like orange juice, so I'm just gonna continue drinking orange juice ! Most of my friends don't drink much either, like 1-2 beers during a whole night so there's not much peer pressure from their part. Aaaand nobody drinks in my family, except the occasional wine glass (and even then it's really rare) so I guess alcohol is just not in me ! -- Best LPer ever, Gix ! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt5YKmP7ecY <cite>Ayuyu posted [p:211393] in Why do ant...

I notice your quote is "I can have fun without alcohol" ..... what's wrong with anyone saying that? That's not saying everyone should live without alcohol, it's just a statement that that person doesn't need it. That's the problem though; most of the time that they're using this, it's not something that's a NEED, it's just a form of entertainment, and rather than really giving an argument you come off as stuck up. From: neonreaper888 \| Posted: 8/15/2011 12:36:20 AM \| #017 If they are trying to suggest that the only reason people drink is because they NEED to in order to have a good time, then it's intense insecurity on their part. If they are rationally describing why they don't drink, then it's just a valid discussion bit. I'm not saying that at all if someone's not interested in alcohol, they don't have to have it, and so there's nothing at all wrong with anyone saying "I can have fun without it" It's not like they're saying NOBODY SHOULD DRINK ALCOHOL THAT'S AWFUL you're absolutely right with saying nobody needs gaming, that's also a form of entertainment - and there's plenty of people who DO live without gaming and there's nothing wrong with it I gave two options of what people do say, not "you said suchandsuch" -- "would a sausage by any other name smell as sweet?" <cite>neonreaper888 posted [p:211394] in Why do ant...

ImTheMacheteGuy 08/14/11 10:17:00 PM #40:	lol at the "I like to think" argument. I've written stuff while blackout drunk (and don't remember writing) that has blown my mind. Granted it's often difficult to understand due to the way I word things. you can have fun without cutting yourself, so by your logic not cutting yourself is stupid...i mean, how can you say it isn't fun until you try? i bet the endorphin rush from the pain would be awesome! brain cells...skin cells...it is all the same :p well the endorphin rush from burning is pretty amazing and brings about a sense of tranquility. I didn't do it for that though. I needed to calm myself down in order to avoid assaulting someone with a dangerous weapon (probably would've killed the guy) and pressing my hand against a really hot object (around 500 degrees farenheit) was the only way that I could think of to relieve that rage, considering that my go-to methods of punching and smashing stuff would've drawn too much attention to me. -- ya right you are case the sunglasses have 3d so i can see right threw their clothes -ertyu (about wearing sunglasses to stare at boobs without girls noticing) <cite>ImTheMacheteGuy posted [p:211398] in Why do ant...
