What do you guys drink though honestly? I'm a fairly big man at 220lbs 6'3" and I consider myself drunk at 3 beers. 5 drinks and you're barely buzzed? wtf
Dude, you gotta relax. Actually, I'm responding to about 4 of your posts. I'm just too lazy to do the cut & paste crap...

Anyhoo, so you've had a bad experience with a guy with a drinking problem. Therefore, you are qualified to pass judgement upon the world? Hey, I can drink a case of beer & remain cognizant. The fact that you can't doesn't make the rest of the world fataed up. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt & assume that you aren't condemning everyone with 12+ beer capacity, just those that exercise it on a regular basis, to which I still say screw off. You really need to accept the fact that not everyone sees it the way you do.
Meet my mom's ex boyfriend... The man who could easily consume a case of beer & remain the most easy going, likeable fella in the city of Calgary. The dude liked his beer, and was very responsible about it.
Just because you can smell his poison doesn't make him a lowlife. A lowlife is a person who judges someone else, based on negotiable terms. ie, you. [/b][/quote]
You are right, I was wrong by labelling anyone as a lowlife. Because I too have seen drinkers drink ALOT and be almost normal. I like funny drunk people, not ignorant, or mean spirited drunk people.

I've also see people who's life revolves around having AT LEAST 6 beers a day, I pity them if anything... if you honestly need to drink that much on a daily basis you need to find a hobby or something.

Getting drunk is one of the most overated activities on the planet.

I guess there are 2 kinds of drinkers, just as an example

1) Those who drink casually with a good dinner, or on a patio on a hot day (Not consuming upwards of 2 pints in a sitting)

2) Those who drink simply for the effect, and very regularly, in large quantities.

I don't have a problem with #2 as long as you are a responsible person... if you can't handle the ammount of alcohol you consume, then don't drink that much! shinguard ain't hard.

I also don't know why people tell me to "relax" on this board... i'm one of the most relaxed, laid back people you could ever meet, I just speak passionately here which comes off like i'm blowing a gasket. But i'm not.
