Because you are quite clearly a pussy.

Most like the taste

Is that true?

I like the way it makes me feel, but definitely don't like the taste.

I said 10 beers for a heavy drinker probably equals 2 for him or someone that doesn't drink very often.

I often drink heavily on the weekend, but plan to stop. Has short-term impact on me physically, but has had major impacts on my mood / mental state at times.

I haven't drank at all in nearly a week and a half -- feel fantastic and really don't miss it. Really only drink in social settings to give me something to do, TBH, but did it excessively when I did.

Alcohol is really a crappy drug. The high is not that high and the hangovers are awful.

I used to be a pretty heavy drinker. Some people enjoy the numbing feeling, the loss of inhibitions, escape from reality etc. Also consider that it takes a heavy drinker 10 beers to feel about like you do after 2.


Could not have put it better. Except omit the “used to be” part.

1. Binge drinkers - Drinks enough to puke, pass out, have memory lapses etc. during a single outing once or twice a week. Often regrets drinking that much the next day. Doesn't have the self-control while buzzed to stop. Probably doesn't even find the excessive drinking to be appealing. The appeal is usually a social element and the lack of self control leads to drinking heavily.


This was me during college three of four days a week. Quarter beer on Tuesdays, usually an exchange on Thursdays, TGIF on Fridays, Football games or whatever else was going on on Saturdays. Once I got out of that environment I practically quit drinking altogether.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "the high". In terms of how fricked up it can get you, it can hang with almost any hard drug. If you mean high as in euphoric, then I agree with you.

I kind of agree, but there’s a reason it’s the most popular by such a wide margin

It is a manageable high, right?

Just don't "stack" and you'll be fine.

Like a lot of things, if a little is good, a lot is not necessarily better.

Plenty of other states drink more. They tend to be cold weather states too. Louisiana isn't even top 10.
