How often do you people get drunk? I'm curious.

Actually, contrary to poular belief, not that frequently.

Okay, first - how often do you have an alcoholic drink?
I have a (yes that means ONE) guinness or glass of wine on average 2 nights per week. I go weeks without it, though.

Second - what's your preference (ie. beer/brand of beer, spirits, wine)?
Guinness, and red wine. The occasional gin and tonic is nice, or Corona and/or margarita with Mexican food.

Third - why do you drink? Is it the thing to do, or you like to unwind, or you really don't know?
I sometimes drink one or two to unwind. I sometimes drink with food, as a complement to a meal.

Fourth - how often do you get drunk? I mean, like, have enough that you lose some inhibitions.
Well, since I am short, it only takes about 4 or 5 to get me crazy. But I don't do that very frequently maybe once every two months or so. and , it only take 2-3 drinks to make someone start to lose inhibitions. It's not as obvious though.

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?
whoah I haven't done that in over 6 years.

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.
too much, obviously.

Seventh, and finally - why do you do it? Honestly, think about it. Isn't it strange?
no, it isn't "strange". Haven't you ever spun around on the swing (and have it spin really fast while unwinding) because you enjoy the dizzy feeling when you were a kid?

Hm. I don't get "wasted" or "really drunk" even when I do drink more than 2 (but I stop after 4 usually). A really nice buzz is plenty for me. I know when to stop.

why? well... I am such an inhibited person. I am self-conscious. Sometimes it's really nice not to give a sh!t. You dance more, and laugh louder.

I think it's more strange to never touch it. Not everyone who drinks has a problem.

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

Thanks.
