alcohol consumption

[Jack]

I don't think I've ever seen this poll in all the time I've been here.

So I'm asking now.

[Congratulations]

I'm underage. I don't drink because it's illegal.

I also don't speed, or jaywalk.

And, on the side, would mind explaining your avatar?

[lixnaw]

it's very healthy to have a few pints of Guinness every day

edit: caution: vegetarians usually get out of ballance with alcohol.

[Jack]

I'm also underage to drink.

But even when I become legal (in a couple weeks) I still will not.

You don't know who Angela Merkel is?

As with the forums, moderation is the key.

When did "fora" become "forums?"

But even when I become legal (in a couple weeks) I still will not.

Now, I do plan to drink occassionally, when it's legal.

You don't know who Angela Merkel is?

I do now.

She is pro-war so I shouldn't like her, but she's one of those people who other people are just drawn to, I guess.

Both are valid plural forms of "forum".

From Merriam-Webster Online:

Main Entry: fo·rum
Pronunciation: 'fOr-&m, 'for-
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural forums also fo·ra

#3's 4 me

Here is my quibble with the available responses:
I picked "everyday for better or for worse."

In the context of the available options, that choice makes me look like a lush, when in fact I only drink about 3 ounces of white wine with dinner. It is reputed to have health benefits of a sort that would be overall beneficial to me.

But maybe that's not what you meant--in which case you can say (as my 13 year old says to me frequently: "Stop jumping to conclusions...you're always jumping to conclusions!"

I'll have wine with dinner, depending on the dinner (yes, I love a good, cheap Chianti!! ).

I'll also drink a maguarita if having Mexican food (a good marguarita - none of that frozen, fufu crap!).

And I'll occasionally drink a Schmirnoff's Ice.

I don't drink beer - I can't taste bitter, so unless it's something like Guiness, beer tastes like "fuzzy water" to me.

i eat something before and after my usual 2 pints.

I'll drink once in a blue moon, if somebody gives it to me, but I don't really like the taste or smell of alcohol anyway, so I've never spent my own money on it.
