Just rediscovered that^ post, which I guess was the purpose of posting it. First of all the beginning of February feels like fucking forever ago even though it really wasn't. Second...I very rarely get drunk enough to forget nights but I need to start keeping a drunk journal if that's the sort of stuff that actually happens when I do.

Also wow my flagrant use of real names and name-dropping the organization that kind of broke the rules by hosting that party. Definitely editing that.

CrowFairy:
A question my curiosity has raised:

Why do you/we drink?

I was drinking last night and thinking about how I don't drink if it tastes or smells like alcohol (because my taste buds are very sensitive, and I'm technically not supposed to be drinking in the first place, so it might as well be worth skipping my meds for). So if it's not to get the taste of alcohol (which smells and tastes like moldy bread to me), then what am I doing?

Not to get existential on you, but what's the point? What do you gain from drinking? (This is not rhetorical or sarcastic or condescending. Think about it.) I'd really like to know what you think and how you feel about it.

I drink maybe once a month or so, so it's not like I'm terribly concerned about liver damage or the majority of the negative effects of drinking way too much. It's just something I wonder about.

Like, if I'm drinking it because it's delicious, is it not theoretically possible to find an equally delicious fruit juice? But alcohol does come in more flavors..................................... Hm.

Anyway, why do you drink? When do you drink? When do you NOT drink?

Last weekend was a bit of a piss-up, had a hair of the dog Monday to kill the hangover.  That was for effect.  Just wanted to be completely numb.  Most of the time, it's usually because it's a social activity (at the pub).  I still go there sometimes when I'm not drinking, but having a couple of beers seems to enhance the experience. 

Unless I plan on getting drunk, I don't drink at home unless it's whisky.  I very much enjoy a good one, and there is no way to create an alternative.

celticgeek:
On the advice of my doctor, I have a glass of red wine with or after dinner (best advice from a doctor ever).  If we go out to dinner I will have a drink, Guinness at my favorite Irish pub, or a margarita at my favorite Mexican place, with dinner, or a sangria at a seafood place.  Other than that, I don't drink much, but every so often a nice shot of Laphroaig goes very well as a nightcap. 

Mostly I have a drink because it tastes good with the food I am eating.

Still not a whiskey/scotch person. Tried some Crown Royal on the rocks and it was slow going.

Also tried Oberon and it's not half bad. Reminds me of a Leinenkugel Summer Shandy. Though any time I think about it I remember he was the king of the fairies.
