    I've never drunk before but I have been with my friends when they got drunk a few times.

    My friends whilst drunk are hilarious. :D

    Except when eating grasshoppers?

    Now that I understand the question, the answer is yes. And I don't even need to abstain from alcohol to be bothered by them, all I need to do is drink in moderation and I realize how dysfunctional 90% of people in public places on a Friday or Saturday night are.

    But I kind of think I am annoyed by people in general, and I would find those people distasteful no matter what. It's only that the alcohol makes them worse.

    I've done pretty crazy shit while drunk, so I can't say much. Mostly being a dick to girls and loud. But I certainly was never disrespectful (to men) or looking for a fight like some drunk people are.

    And I never impose conversation on people, even when drunk. In fact, I don't think being drunk is cool at all anymore.

    If I do it, I want it to be a very special occasion, in which I plan for it, and I'm around friends. Otherwise, going beyond a buzz is just bad form, IMO.

    If they've tried drinking and decided it wasn't for them, that's one thing.

    But never touched a drop sober people are not to be trusted.

    Don't drink much anymore...a beer or two with dinner if I go out to eat. That happens once a month at best.

    And yeah, depends on the kind of drunk. Never was much of a barfly, so I avoided most of those people.

    I don't know if you'd consider me one of these or not...I get drunk maybe twice a year? It really depends on whatever's going on. Sometimes I'll drink, sometimes I won't. But I've only been to three "bars", and I don't really think any of them counted. One was a pool hall that served alcohol and kicked minors out at 11 PM, one was just a wet bar at a theatre, and one was a fancy schmancy hotel club. I mostly love drunk people, though...as long as it's my friends who are drunk and not creepy strangers.

    edit-I almost forgot...I get fucking baked every night, my man.

    i drink when i feel like it. i like to consume beer more frequently than any other kinds of alchocol. i drink harder things too, but there must be an occasion.

    I enjoy alcohol responsibly. :D

    Teetotalers are generally religious nuts who want alcohol prohibited again, are they not? I do know people who never drink, but they are normal people who don't care if others drink.

    I don't care if other people want to get drunk, but I personally do not like the taste of beer nor its side effects.

    I avoid drinking just because I dont like the taste of alcohol..I do have a drink once in a while though

    I avoid bars because I don't like noisy people,cologne...and people who smell like cigarette smoke

    I sleep at night

    I don't like alcohol, but I drink it once in a while, in a very limited manner. I don't like the way I feel after drinking. It disables me, and I don't like that, and I don't like the fact that I have to wait a period of time before I'm back to normal.

    I don't mind drunks, I only mind people if they become a threat, to myself, or to others. Then I have to begin thinking of ways to exit, or to counter the threat.

    I don't avoid bars. I like hanging out with the riff-raff, and I perform at times in bars. I'm a musician. I often consider what kind of audience I'm wasting my time on, however. I especially regret what kind of fellow musicians I'm wasting my time on. Life's too short. To me, it's all about the music. But I'd much rather play in a bar than in a stadium. I'm not very good at football.

    Every night lately I've eaten dinner, then avoided my wife by spending time on HF.

    She's okay with that. Past a certain point, we simply dislike each other. We've lived in separate realities in parallel universes for many years. At times, we each get sucked through a wormhole and end up together, and it's usually not very pretty, until one of us throws it into warp drive and takes the shuttle back to our private space.

    She's an alien. :cool:
