«Andrea Krause» On some level I can understand light drinking for the social aspects. What really bothers me is people who take utter joy in getting as drunk as they can as often as they can... (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:12pm) «nate...» yeah, I'm actually discussing this on a mailing list I'm on at the moment... amusingly enough. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:12pm) «dave "buh"» i gotta take the wall out for margaritas some night ;-) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:12pm) «Andrea Krause» ...and act like it's some badge of honor. "Dude I was SOOOOO wasted last night...huh huh huh huh" (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:12pm) «nate...» I think a large part of the issue is the taboo attached to alcohol in this country..... it causes people to abuse it... starting from the teenage years, when, since you CAN'T drink ... you want to (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:13pm) «nate...» that much more. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:13pm) «Andrea Krause» It reeks of immaturity and poor judgement. (God. I am such a snob) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:13pm) «danced with Lazlo» It's better in Spain (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «danced with Lazlo» Drunkeness is not honorable in Spain (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «nate...» If you look at other countries with either a MUCH lower drinking age or NO drinking age, they don't have the same kind of issues... and people DO drink more responsibly. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «dave "buh"» Spain has great sangria.. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «danced with Lazlo» OOOOH YEah (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» I dunno that Andrea and my experiences are necessarily typical. We both bear the scars of alcoholism in our lives. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «nate...» *nods* spain is a classic example. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «danced with Lazlo» FABULOUS Sangria (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «Andrea Krause» maybe that's part of my thing. I never really "couldn't" drink. It was all over my house and my dad wouldn't have cared if I drank it all. Maybe that's part of why I never tried it. *shrug* (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «danced with Lazlo» Though these days the kids are getting into the hash and calimocho parties (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:14pm) «nate...» but you also have an ENORMOUS reason to be biased against it, andrea. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:15pm) «danced with Lazlo» About once a year my friend Andrew and I get to gether a bunch of booze and we go to his place or my moms and we drink and watch cartoons all night (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:15pm) «danced with Lazlo» That's the only time I intentionally drink to get drunk (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:15pm) «Andrea Krause» and that's very true, nate. Alcohol=pain in my life. But I still think aside from that people do make asses of themselves. :) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:15pm) «nate...» I think this is one of the main reasons college in this country is such a joke. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:15pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Heh. My mom actually offered me a beer while I was watching The Golden Girls with her one night. When I was, like, 14? (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:15pm) «nate...» For so many people, it's the first time they can get away with drinking... so they do that TOO much, and too often.... and get nothing out of college. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:16pm) «danced with Lazlo» When I was in... 3rd grade I think, I was doing a report on Scotland. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:16pm) «danced with Lazlo» I was in the living room drawing a map (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:16pm) «danced with Lazlo» and dad came in and said "Scotland, eh? You have to try some scotch!" (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:16pm) «Andrea Krause» yeah my dad offered me alcohol often when I was underage. :-/ (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:16pm) «danced with Lazlo» He made me try this shot of scotch and said "Now you know what Scotch tastes like." (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:17pm) «nate...» that's fine... so did most people's..... kids are curious.... so let 'em have a sip if they ask. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:17pm) «nate...» otherwise they view it as this "naughty" thing.. and as soon as they hit rebellion stage.. that's the first thing they jump on. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:17pm) «danced with Lazlo» *shrug* I thought my esophagus was on fire, but I was none the worse for the experience (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:17pm) «Andrea Krause» Not like...sip...he'd offer me shots and beers and stuff. :) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:18pm) «danced with Lazlo» Also I grew up with wine every friday night and saturday afternoon (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:18pm) «danced with Lazlo» Alcohol was never a big deal for me (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:18pm) «danced with Lazlo» it was there my whole life in a religious context (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:18pm) «danced with Lazlo» I *like* alcohol, Anni (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:19pm) «Andrea Krause» whatever. i should shut up. obviously alcohol is very intertwined with my issues and I'm being a judgemental twit. Sigh. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:19pm) «danced with Lazlo» I like getting buzzed in the right social context (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:19pm) «danced with Lazlo» When I'm stressed at school sometimes I have a little shot of scotch to calm me down (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:19pm) «nate...» andrea: naw, nobody wants you to shut up.... we're just presenting an alternate viewpoint for you to take into account. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:19pm) «Andrea Krause» I can't deny that you worry me though, anni. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:20pm) «danced with Lazlo» Cause you clearly drink too much, Anni, and I think probably often for the wrong reasons (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:20pm) «Andrea Krause» I know nate...I wasn't implying I was being attacked...I was just shoving myself down. I feel out of control. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:20pm) «danced with Lazlo» there, I said it :P (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:20pm) «danced with Lazlo» Talcott's Wife goes to take a shower (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:21pm) «Andrea Krause» Well if you don't anni, then you certainly put forth a facade of someone who has a problem. Real or drama, what you speak is alarmind. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:21pm) «Andrea Krause» alamrind=alarming (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:22pm) «nate...» but much less alarming than the majority of college students. heh *shakes head* (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:22pm) «Andrea Krause» Never mind. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:22pm) «nate...» This country is so pathetic in some ways. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:22pm) «Andrea Krause» When you talk of alcohol like it's a fuzzy comfort blanket and say you love to get drunk etc, etc, it is alarming whether it's 3 times a week or 7. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:23pm) «Kate Leahy» mmm. rice and beans. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:23pm) «Kate Leahy» Kate Leahy was an alarming college student at times. Not much, though. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:24pm) «Andrea Krause» I'm not saying "dude, you're an alcoholic", I'm just expressing that the way you talk about it is scary and concerns me. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:24pm) «Kate Leahy» i actually drink more often now as a full-time volunteer in a well-respected organization than i did in college (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:24pm) «Andrea Krause» Not that I have a right to be concerned, but I'm also not going to be all "you go girl". :) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:24pm) «nate...» Then, I will. You go, girl! (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:25pm) «nate...» :D (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:25pm) «Kate Leahy» nate drinks at frucons! we've seen the pictures! (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:25pm) «nate...» Except for the drinking till you vomit... that's just all bad. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:25pm) «nate...» Hell yes I drink at frucons! :D (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:25pm) «Andrea Krause» doing what you don't plan is part of what being out of control means. :) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 1:27pm) «Kate Leahy» mmm. drinking at frucons.
