The what's your drink thread.

Diet Coca Cola has actually been known to make me puke. The shit is just downright nasty. I haven't even touched Coke Zero, not after seeing a normally calm (if sarcastic) friend get a major caffiene high off the stuff. NO THANK YOU.

 

hey, I'm 18 and I don't drink.

 

Aye, the legal drinking age here in the States is 21. I know, who in the States referst to college as "university?"

 

All of a sudden I feel much less socially unfit with my minimal alcohol consumption.

 

I was originally gonna say "Wine, coffee, cola..." but you'd think I was being serious, and not referencing ShamWow.

 

What? Was that WOW Shaman?

 

Because it is my purpose.

 

If you manage to get yourself REALLY overweight, does that make you a Swasian Meatball?

Xz: you mean to say you didn't drink at her age?

 

I was always curious how someone can consider that worth it.

 

That was my hard learned lesson. It only took three episodes.
1) Chasing beer with SoCo (can't even stand the smell of Southern Comfort now and that was 20 odd years ago.)
What really made this bad was the situation.
On TDY. Extremely cold nights mixed with overly warm 2 person huts. Laying down leads to bed spins. Go outside to puke. Cold air stops need to puke. Back to bed. Rinse. Repeat. A very miserable night.

2) Puking up mostly undigested steak and chunky homemade potato salad. (Unbelievably painful.)

3) Three day hangover from a road bachelor party (also served as primary validation on the 'don't mix alcohol types' adage)

At this point I finally learned that these things make any fun I had getting to this point null and void.
Now I only get faced once a year, but I avoid getting puking drunk.

 

Yet somehow it rarely is a one time situation from what I observe, and one could think that learning that mistake would be enough to not repeat it, or there would be something about it that actually is worth the consquences. Than again, maybe it just works like a little self-made amnesia.

1. I'm gonna get drunk, it surely won't end up as bad as the last time.

2. :24 hours later:

3. ...Oh shiiiiii...what was I even thinkiii...

4. Some time passes, then return to step 1.

 

Tell that to my guitar hand.
