DRUNK AND ON DRUGS MEGATHREAD

[BluPhoenix]

yeah really, those carbs go right through you

who needs alcohol triple-hop-brewed just to accentuate the taste of ass

i'd take something that actually has a flavor like wine or sake any day over that

i feel this way about beer. i've tried so many kinds of beer my friends give me at parties, they say you'll like this one this time if you didn't like that one, but every time i can barely finish the thing without wincing. something about the taste just really puts me off. but i do enjoy hard liquor and mixed drinks, and i don't mind cider, either.

people always say beer is an acquired taste but really, it will always taste like shit

it's almost as if pretending to like the taste of beer is a macho thing, this is my theory

beer tastes like shit and it probably always will

I genuinely enjoy the taste of some beers. Fat Tire, Yeungling, Leinenkugel Berry Weiss, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Shake Chocolate Porter, Kona Pipeline Porter, Key West Sunset Ale...

I think the acquired taste aspect is part psychological, part biological. I'm not incredibly well informed on the topic, but it's my understanding that the types of microbes you have in your stomach greatly affect the sort of cravings you get. If all you eat is junk food then that's all your body will want because the bacteria that is sustained by those foods is now thriving in your stomach and is influencing you so that they can continue to thrive. Eating yogurt supposedly introduces and nourishes healthy kinds of bacteria that cut down on your unhealthy cravings.

With beer, I hated it when I first started drinking and stuck to cider and liquor. Not every party had those on hand though so I had to drink whatever was available. Eventually some beers starting tasting tolerable instead of downright nasty, and so I started drinking those more often. By now, Yeungling tastes completely different than when I had first started drinking four years ago. I hated it then, but now I absolutely love having a couple before a large heavy meal because that wheaty flavor gets me really hungry by the time the meal is served.

YMMV. Honestly if you don't like it then there's no point in drinking it unless you want to like it, but once you actually acquire that taste for them it opens up a whole bunch of doors. Just stay away from IPA, that shit is nasty.

Edit: Here's some further reading on the microbial studies I mentioned: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bies.201400071/full

In particular, this line:

Conventional wisdom often blames unhealthy eating on a lack of willpower. However, binge eating is not just a matter of mental control [101]; food cravings are unlike other cravings. Many other addictions, such as drugs and alcohol, require ever-increasing doses to maintain the same mood-altering effect. This habituation does not happen with food. For some individuals, the more they indulge their food cravings, the more enjoyment they get from them [102]

might also apply to drinking beer, and not because of the alcohol but the yeast involved in brewing.

beer for me is like coffee, it's an acquired taste i'd rather not acquire , mostly for health reasons. a lot of my beer drinking aficionado friends have developed quite the gut and i'd rather not have to worry about that. after trying all kinds of different beers i'm just going to assume that i don't like it and never will - my only regret being that beer is usually a lot cheaper than liquor, but i don't drink that much anyway.

Turns out my ultimate vice is queso someone help me overcome this addiction

Beer is great when it's really cold. It gets exponentially worse as it warms up.

i'm allergic to beer but on the odd occasion i've had a tan, nah, tasted like piss

if you enjoy the taste of pee and are looking for a gluten free alternative, i recommended a 2L of Strongbow, or just drinking your own piss

>not enjoying a lukewarm bud

[valiums]

yall goin straytta hell when its mortys coil shufflin time
jeezy died for ur sins and u fuckin it up

[slack]

i don't mind beer, it tastes like garbage whether it's cold or warm

your body breaks down and digests warm beer faster though so you'll get a buzz quicker so there's that

but if you want a quick buzz why not just do a few shots of high-proof and be done with it

[Sef]

Just had some Pink Lemonade Vodka and some Rum. Fun times, the rum really make me wince.

i don't mind beer, it tastes like garbage

you don't mind the taste of liquified garbage?

[SrsSam77]

the buzz is strong, yo

The buzz might be strong, but so is the cancer
smoking a single cigar by inhalation is about equal to smoking two packs of cigarrettes, one backwoods is about 1/4th a standard cigar so that'd be 1/2th pack, one 5 pack of backwoods would be equal to inhaling 2 1/2th packs of cigarettes; your choice

Youre assuming I meant inhaling everytime I take a drag.  Also I don't smoke full on cigars only just 99 cent cigarillos (barring the occasional backwoods.)and anyway you can still get mouth and throat cancer even if you don't inhale , so really you're no less susceptible to either of those cancers heh.  So thanks dad I'm glad ya laid out them facts for me.

[rtil]

thanks dad

One thing I have noticed is I'm friendlier on a nicotine buzz. It's nice.

[crackers]

get nicky buzz off three draws, perks of being a non smoker

[creamcorn]

[slack]

[slack]

Had about a shot of Southern Comfort. It taste bad, but is the best tasteing alcohol I have had yet. Body has lost a little feeling but that's about it. 0/10
