What's your Fave Beer?

[villahed94]

Here although the legal drink age is 18, society accepts parents giving liquor to kids. You can see 3-5 yo. kids drinking beer, permitted by their parents.

In one of the most extreme cases happening on Oaxaca´s Mountain Zone, kids are given alcohol much earlier. Because of the extreme cold, newborns are given Tequila or Rum just a couple minutes later they are born. They also mix liquor in their milk.
Again, society accepted, but illegal.

"Gross, this Rum is totally ruining my coke."

The legal drinking age across Canada is 19. Except in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec, where it's 18.
It's been that way since before you were born. Not a fan of beer? Buy cheerleader beers, vodka coolers with some kind of juice in them. Cranberry is good. Vodka has barely any flavor and is what most kids drink when they're 15 and feeling dangerous.


Please, go buy yourself a 6 pack and smoke a joint, spare the boards your excessively uptight disposition towards everything you feel isn't conservative enough to be acceptable in your ideal lifestyle. You only live once.

I don't drink Coke, or any soda for that matter anymore. I didn't stop that because I'm uptight or a pussy. I stopped because liters of sugared* sodas a day were ruining my life. I never really realized it at the time, but most every day I felt awful, always having a sick craving for a sugared soda. I had this one particular kind, Fanta, that tasted wonderful, but in a bad way. It'd make my teeth ring and make me feel terrible. Today I have been 95% sugared soda-free for well over a year. I have maybe the odd one every few months, but usually as a gesture or if on the road my friends all vote for a fast food joint, which also doesn't happen often. I can't describe how wonderful it feels to not be suffering from a soda addiction.

That's one of the reasons why I don't want to pick up alcoholic beverages; it may become a habit. I've had a history of bad habits and alcohol in particular would eventually ruin me. I realize it's perfectly possible to do something in moderation, but not for me. Simply put, I've tried beer and wine and didn't like either of them and I don't want to experience an addiction to a beverage again...

*I don't include sugar-alternative sodas because I never drank them. Aspartame, the most common sugar-substitute used in diet sodas never agreed with me. Probably some sort of weird allergy...

The only reason it was mentioned is because you stated that alcohol ruins the taste of whatever drink it's in. A common drink is Rum & Coke. Nobody would drink rum and coke and complain about the rum ruining the coke... that's the joke. Also, you call yourself Canadian?! Call it pop or GTFO traitor!

Well, at least you're doing your part to prevent Type-2 diabetes.

This at least makes sense. I don't drink soda either, because it fucks up your teeth and aspartame is cancer-inducing. It's not as common over here anyway.

Neat vodka is my favourite drink, its the drink i started on age 14 and for some reason nobody understands how i can enjoy drinking it. I just like the feeling it gives in the back of the throat and it allows you to get smashed very quickly. You gotta love English drinking culture if you weren't heavily drinking regularly by 15 you were considered weird in my area.

Dogfishead 90 minute IPA

[chinitosoccer]

beat this: uruguayan "Pilsen" with 6,5 of alcoholic graduation (softer beer in the market here), and you don't need to be 18 to buy beer in Uruguay...Budweiser, Heineken and even all those brazilian/argentinian beers taste like soda after drinking this.

I think the complete lack of social drinking is what's wrong with a lot of people.

Why is it so important to drink alcohol? It's not mandated by law or anything. Hell, there's all sorts of restrictions on the stuff and even "moderate" amounts are known to cause health problems (like say your liver; you only get one in your life). I see a sheeple syndrome here more than anything.

Moderate amounts are generally harmless aside from dehydration. The thinning of the blood, and stress removal are generally seen as health benefits.
Drinking makes socializing a lot easier for people. Most who argue against it are usually obsessively hyper-conservative toward their opinions and are socially retarded in a lot of ways, so it seems like a good conclusion that they need to unwind and should have a drink or two every once in a while.

The downside that comes from drinking is usually associated with bad decisions, dependence issues, and heavy abuse causing various types of cancer or cirrhosis of the liver.
