Okay, first - how often do you have an alcoholic drink?

Once a week, maybe? Hard to average, because it's sporadic more than it is routine.

Second - what's your preference (ie. beer/brand of beer, spirits, wine)?

Beer. I drink locally brewed beer, either Molson Standard or Fort Garry Dark (no one except from Winnipeg has any clue what I'm talking about - although, we do have "Two Rivers" brand beer here, which might be of interest to you wotters).

Third - why do you drink? Is it the thing to do, or you like to unwind, or you really don't know?

I dunno... it's a thing to do, I guess.

Fourth - how often do you get drunk? I mean, like, have enough that you lose some inhibitions.

Probably about once every month or two. Again, it varies.

Fifth - How often do you get drunk enough to forget what you are doing, or to barf? Do those two go hand in hand in your experience?

Barfed three times in my life, and once the day after. Forgot what I was doing about three or four times, and one time was when I didn't barf - at least, not that I can remember.

Sixth - how much does it take to get you to this point? Be honest, there's no need for false bravado on the internet. We're all anonymous here.

Losing inhibitions? About 3. Barfing? 7-10. One New Years, I thought I had increased my tolerance. So I bought a 12 and decided to see if I could drink it all in that night. I started at 9pm, and got to 10 by 2am. Then I realized that it wasn't a good idea.

Seventh, and finally - why do you do it? Honestly, think about it. Isn't it strange?

Yeah. It's fun to be in a different mindframe, but then, I don't do drugs or anything, so why drink? I guess it's pretty widespread in society and amongst my friends, and I like sipping beer... there's really no great reason, so it is kind of strange. Good thing I agree with myself.

Oh, bonus question! Have you been here while drunk? Feel free to share that experience.

Yeah. A few times. The best was when I was at Lozz's place in Australia, and I sat up most of the night with Geoff and Gary - we took turns, and made fun of lots of people.

Thanks.

Hey, no prob. If I took the time to write it, then I'm more than glad to do me the favour of answering it.
