This is so weird Am I sleeping? Is this a dream? ...No! Am I a Mouse? Am I an elephant? And I had just sliced your tongue
So tell me he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-hey: Do you wanna drink some alcohol?
~'Alcohol' by C.S.S. So guys, since we're all super cool and attract the opposite sex. Because we like to have fun and because we're more mature than you'd think, we'll have a thread about alcohol. Also, because we don't give in to advertising and peer pressure. So discuss whatever you can think of, be it your favourite tipple, stupid things you've done while pissed, why you do not drink alcohol, why you di drink alcohol, or whatever else comes to mind.

THREADJACK!
This thread is now about astrophysics
So, what does the Herd think of the theory of the expanding universe? You know, the idea that the universe is constantly growing, and that the limited amount of energy in it will eventually be so spread out that everything comes to a complete halt?

I don't drink alcohol because I'm eighteen. That and it turns you into a blubbering idiot... Well, it can anyway. I've already resolved to avoid it in the future. And since I have a stronger will than most teenagers, chances are I won't be one to drink much.

fallenseeker Did you not see me threadjack?! -sigh- I did. I was just searching for the appropriate quotation. Voilá:
If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation. ~Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World (1915), chapter 4

Vanadia Gold I don't drink cuz alcohol tastes bad. Seriously. That's my reason. *laughs* Same here, actually. It tastes rotten and spoilt to me. what a waste of perfectly good grape juice. Same reason I could not possibly bring myself to ingesting mouldy cheese or anything of that ilk, either.

But I like that theory a lot. XD Back on topic (Before the rude threadjacking) I've had some alcohol. Most of it just tastes terrible.

Screw this wine crap, it tastes sour and weak.

Oh dear, *pat, pat* This is me being patronizing.
And dear god that was using my name too many times for one line of text.
Anyway... Don't try to advise someone on the finer points of alcohol when you're going to discredit wine in favour of something like southern comfort.
Wine is one of the best and most preferred types of alcohol out there. Vintners have been practicing and perfecting the art for a lot longer than we yanks have been making southern comfort, and it's far more developed for it.
If any alcohol deserves respect, I'd have to say it's wine.
And praising southern comfort in front of a whisk/e/y snob is often poor judgment. xD
