I have no desire to have any alcohol and I never will have any. For one,  I can't stand the burn, two it does nothing for me. It seems that a lot of folks drink just because its what "adults" do. Well I like being a kid, a 39 year old kid, just fine. Don't like alcohol, drugs, smoking, veggies, coffee, guns or even driving. I do drive, but I prefer someone else driving if possible. They only think I like that's not appropriate for kids is R/ M rated stuff and girls.

The only reason I don't like "Beer" is that most of them make me sick. (No, not because I drink to much...) just one swig and I start to get nauseous. Don't know why. I can't drink apple ales, girlie drinks and hard stuff and it doesn't affect me. Oh for the record... I like cars and working on them, guns, alcahol, and veggies.  8)
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

I've tasted it. Not for me.

That's like tasting an orange and saying you don't like fruit.

There are an infinite variety of styles and flavor of beer.  And don't even get me started on wine.   ;D

Booze doesn't have to be bad!


Do they even have wine in France?  :P

Lol.  Just a little.

Whilst I was still in the UK, I worked as a planner in the wine industry - did my wine exams and everything.  I love the stuff!

Fun fact - the region I live in France (Languedoc Rousillon), is the largest wine grape growing region in the world.  More is produced in this pocket of France than in the entire of Australia.

Not knowing how much wine is produced in Australia, I've no idea how impressive that statement is supposed to be...

Size comparison would be something like Washington VS USA?

But you know Australia is big right (comparable in land mass to the USA)? And that the Australian wine industry is one of the biggest in the world?

You don't need to know the exact numbers to know that if a small pocket of France produces more wine than an entire country of wine drinkers that size is pretty impressive.  For comparison in terms of land mass, you can fit about 18 of the whole country of France in the USA/Australia, and about 20 languedoc rousillons would fit inside France.

I do understand the size difference. It was the Australian wine production that I didn't know anything about. All I've got to go off of when it comes to wine is the western United States!

I like beer, rum, tequila, and a lot of things with alcohol, but I don't get to the point to get drunk, I know when to stop. Don't know what's wrong with some whisky in my case, I get a sip of some of them and I start to trow all out, Except chivas, something special, all part and some others, Johnny walker can't stand even how it smells.

Ohhh and yes I also love cars, driving (my dream was to be a F1 driver, so you know more or less how I drive  :P), guns, veggies, meet, fish, bbq,

I can't stand smoking

 ;D a thread masquerading about merch, when it's about substance abuse, i'm down with that. (christopher hitchens, you went at it like a sailor, and DGAFF like a royal retainer.)
...
can't say i'd buy booze just because of the splash, the stuff HAS to get me smashed.
higher the alcohol proofs, the higher chance of a purchase.
1, bitter at a mild 5.4%.
2, spirits next when 'it' need be done, and i can't be held back by petty morality. (40% upwards for courage, lack of ethics, and an fantastic barrier to pain.)   
3, the stuff considered illegal by elitist whims, it's cleaner, safer and DOESN'T poison the body with overuse. unlike GVT sponsored wifebeater, family wrecker and liver destroyer (RIP george best, it couldn't have happened to anybody more deserved) the health is in far better shape vs alcohol.
...
1, is used for work and dealing with peoples irl, a social enabler of sorts...or an inhibitor? (i'm leaning on the former, tend to care less what folks think, and act DELIBERATELY without a second thought. a force that goes either way. without it, i be on a serial killer list no doubts.)
2, used for handling tasks where the slightest compassionate thought robs the time to act and jeopardizes the objectives.
3, ;D is used for gaming and general recreation, need ****s to feel, as i don't otherwise, just an automaton that eats and sleeps.
...
4, i shot the sheriff, but i'm STILL gunning for his lackey deputy.  :P

As a Dutch gamer I have to ask, is this beverage region locked?  ;)

Yeah, I think so.  :D
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Wouldn't you know it, but the same company that makes 8-Bit beer also makes 16-Bit beer.  Haven't tried it yet, but I guess I have to now. 

Maybe other companies can make their own versions of 8-Bit or 16-Bit beer.  Let the "Bit Wars" begin!!!!!   ;D ;D ;D
