What the firetruck...WHAT?

Oh, like somebody will never drink alcohol.

 

Eventually all of us will drink alcohol.

 

Seriously, I don't have a taste for it, nor an interest in it. I also never want to, nor see the point in, getting drunk. The closest thing to consuming alcohol I will do is eating Chicken Marsala.

I'm not talking about getting wasted and do stupid things.

 

I'm talking about drinking with moderation.

 

Enjoying the drink, talking with your friends, those moments are invaluable.

 

Like I said, Eventually we will all drink alcohol.

 

If those teenagers want to get wasted and ruin their lifes by drinking wathever's in front of them, it's their problem.

 

But to me, the definition of drinking alcohol, is enjoying the diverse flavours of the drink, talk with your friends, meet new people.

 

And of course, we all drink with moderation.

What I don't get is how these people were poisoned by the alcohol rather than the other toxins in the hand sanitzer...

Alcohol that people are not supposed to drink is denatured, as in, the companies purposely make it lethal so that people don't drink it (this is done so that stuff like hand sanitizer and rubbing alcohol do not have to be taxed as alcoholic beverages)

Not true. You can't generalize all people. I'm old enough to drink and have never drunken alcohol and never plan on ever drinking alcohol. For several reasons, some being:

- there's always the risk of ending up drunk or addicted

- the beverages simply don't taste good (I don't know how they taste since I've never had them, but I can take a good guess based on the smell of liquor (which is disgusting and smells like rubbing alcohol) and the smell of beer (which also stinks but has a different scent)... and I've had non-alcoholic wine / champagne before and they really don't taste any better than juice or Kool-aid...)

- the fact that it's a waste of money... it's even more expensive than sodas which are already expensive if you buy them a lot. And I don't even drink that much soda so why should I drink any alcohol?

Umm... I just want to know why you say "we all drink..." and a heavy emphasis on the "all". Are you saying you don't believe in one non-alcoholic person? Not everybody drinks, whether or to get drunk or for social joyous occasions (as you stated above). There is this drink called Soda, or juice, or maybe even water that people like to drink instead at parties or at their house, maybe you've heard of it?

I'm just saying what I believe in.

 

I don't believe that nobody will ever drink alcohol.

 

It's a part of our lifes nowadays.

You think that I never heard of it?

 

That's the drink everybody drinks when they're 14 or less.

/facepalm

 

Then why do you say that they taste bad if you didn't even try it?

 

That's what I hate about people that say that they'll never drink, they don't give it a try.

 

And besides, you can enjoy alcohol without getting wasted.

Next half of the sentence: but I can take a good guess based on the smell . . .

As I said, liquor smells horrible. Beer smells horrible. Usually (but not always) smell is a good indication of taste. And I have tasted non-alcoholic versions of some of the drinks (specifically wine and champagne), and (assuming that they did a good job mimicking the flavour) there was nothing all that great about them.

And you missed my last point altogether... more than 9 times out of 10 I drink just plain water. If I'm not already drinking other drinks such as sodas all that often then what reason do I have to even start drinking any sort of alcoholic beverage, which costs nearly twice as much as soda / lemonade / Kool-aid / whatever? That's like going up to a person who has no interest in watching any TV or movies and saying "you should start watching documentaries".

Going to get this post deleted or the thread locked, but still I had to express myself.

As you said, smell isn't always a good indication of taste.

 

Beer and liquor taste good, and certain beers and liquors smell well.

Non-alcoholic version of beer and such is terrible, a big mistake.

 

It tastes bad, and it doesn't feel the same.

Still not an excuse

 

The prices varies over the years.

 

Who knows, in 3 years or 3 months, alcoholic drinks can be cheaper than sodas.

Last part is completely untrue. I have never smelled a beer that smelled even remotely good or a strong liquor that did not smell like rubbing alcohol.

And I can think of very few examples of foods that people think taste good but think smell bad... perhaps beer is one of these exceptions. Either way, I have no desire to find out.

 

Non-alcoholic version of beer and such is terrible, a big mistake.

 

It tastes bad, and it doesn't feel the same.

That's personal opinion... obviously some people like it or there'd be no market for it. I would expect that it tastes similar enough to the alcoholic versions of the same drinks for them to willingly label it as such.

That's an excuse for not purchasing any unnecessary item. If you can't afford something or simply don't want to pay for it then why waste the money? Because it tastes good? So does lemonade and it is much cheaper than alcohol.

As for the possibility of the price dropping below the others... I highly doubt it. Alcohol has always been more expensive than a drink such as soda. It's simply more expensive and more difficult to produce. Even if it was cheaper, you are still missing my point.

 

I have no interest in drinking beer or liquor or any sort of alcoholic beverage.

Even if it tastes great and was incredibly cheap and had absolutely no harmful effects at all then there's no need to try it. You can say that about practically anything. Like, Mountain Dew. Someone has had soda before (or any drink for that matter) and then chooses to never try Mountain Dew. Yes, it tastes different than other drinks... maybe even better. That doesn't mean that everyone needs to try Mountain Dew or will eventually try Mountain Dew at some point before they die.

Personal?

 

Part of that is true, but it's also several other's opinion as well.

For that look at my first post in this page. Moderation

 

And even if it costs more, alcoholic drinks bonds people more than sodas. Just sayin'.

That's your opinion and I respect it.

 

If you don't want to try it, fine. But in my opinion, alcoholic drinks is a part of our lifes eventually.

 

And with all said, I gave my opinion and you gave yours.

 

Peace, I'm out.
