Why do you drink?

[starburstz91]

When I used to drink when I was younger was to basically not deal with the crap I was going through.

I had a total depression and a feeling of "unwantedness" or being "unloved" that I thought drinking could cure that pain. However, I stopped because I found there was a deeper reason to why humans actually feel stressful emotions.

Now, I'm not making this post to share my story of drinking, but to make my point. Therefore, my point is that I used to drink to cover up mental and physical pain.

So...That's what American houses look like.

In Canada, we only have track/spotlighting in kitchen/ living room areas. Plus, wooden benches are only acceptable in garden pathways, not front living quarters.

YOU FREAKS!

I really do enjoy trying new beers, and good bourbon and good scotch. I have been asking myself this question alot lately. I drink to get drunk, plain and simple. I literally can't go out and just have one or two drinks, if I start it's really hard to stop. I guess it's not that big of a problem yet, I still go to work and maintain normal relationships with people. In light of recent poor decision making while under the influence, not to mention hang overs every other day, I've been asking myself why I do it quite a bit. I like the local bar, I feel comfortable, even at home, there. I've been there since the day I turned 21. Still, I wish I was more of a social drinker, rather than a border-line alcoholic. I don't even know what I'm talking about now, but yeah, I drink to get drunk, that's my answer to your question.

Because I'm an alcoholic plain and simple and not jd I like kentuckey burbon not tenn. so Knob Creek or Makers Mark when I'm poor Wild Turkey and only because they don't sell 125 proof Bookers in NY you can only get it out west. I first had it in arizona

Straight to the point, I like it. I also thoroughly enjoy good bourbon. I'm in Pennsylvania, the Wine & Spirits here sells Bookers, the good shit. That really is some excellent bourbon. If you're gonna go with the cheap shit, though, Old Crow never fails to get the job done.

In my opinion a scotch single malt is much better than bourbon.

I've always been partial towards bourbon, but recently a friend of mine may have changed my mind. I can't remember for the life of me what the scotch was called, probably because I was way too fucked up by the time the bottle was gone, but it was a single malt and it was fantastic.
