Quoted:
Been drunk only once in my life, I think I was 13.

My brother and I had just got back from Europe with a bunch of beer cans for our collection (mostly full), this was back in the 70s when people collected beer cans.

Anyway we are in the bathroom pouring them down the sink (open from the bottom of course) and my brother is doing his best to look impressive by sampling them and giving me his worldly knowledge of beer facts (he was 17 and looked like dork at to me at the time).

Anyway one of the few things he actually did know was euro beer was much stronger than American beer. And since I hated the taste of beer he saw an opportunity to make some money.

He bet me $20 I couldn't drink an entire can without stopping. Beer tasted like piss to me but at 13 I'd have probably drank a can of piss for $20.00.

Well I did it and he was floored. And he owed me $20.00.

So he bet me $20.00 I couldn't do it again. Now he owes me $40.00.

By the time he figures out I will drink anything for $20 he owes me $80.00.

Then it hit me, I started to get kinda goofy.

Suddenly my brother (bright kid that he is realizes my parents will be home in about 20 minutes and his kid brother is fucking drunk). So he sticks me in a cold shower and I start playing in the water. He slaps me and I hawl off and slap him back. I know what is going on but don't care.

Then suddenly (and thankfully or I probably would have gotten alcohol poisoning) I got violently sick and threw up all over the bathroom and everything in it, including my brother. I'm still sorta drunk even though the 4 beers weren't in my system for much longer than 10 minutes.

My parents get home and my brother tries to convince them I have the flu or something all of the sudden. Only problem is the bathroom smells like a brewery and vomit. Like I said he wasn't the brightest kid on the block.

Anyway after a few hours of spins and headaches I was ok. Never liked the taste of beer (still don't) and after that incident never wanted another beer or to be drunk again. I imagine it is the same thing as making a kid smoke a pack of cigarettes till he pukes to cure him of wanting to smoke.

But the main thing I disliked about it was the loss of control (being drunk) that most people seem to enjoy. I don't even like a slight buzz.

When I lived in Iowa in the winter we would have something like a B&B (brandy and benedictine) before heading outside after a steak dinner (I wasn't driving) to warm us up first. And while I enjoyed the warming effect, I very much disliked the loss of control and alertness from the buzz.

And that probably is what kept me away from drugs all my life.

But my brother never did give me the $80 he owed me.

So what did we learn from this experience SA?

I'm way ahead of you.

Older brothers ~~are~~ can be evil!

I had a similar experience when I was 13, but it was with Vodka. I stay away from the hard liquor but beer... That's another story.

Sly

1. Euro beer still tastes like piss too.

2. Don't trust an older brother to pay off a $80 debt.

Nope, never been drunk, or even drank much. I've had a grand total of ONE smirnoff ice that my wife talked me into trying on our honeymoon.

The way I've always looked at it, is that I don't want to just drink to get drunk. And if you don't want to be drunk, why drink alcholic beverages? There's plenty of other stuff that's cheaper and tastes better.

My dad always preached that there is only one thing in the world you can control -- how you react to what happens around you. If you give that up, you've got nothin'.

I've consumed far more booze this week than normal due to business travel. At a dinner I hit it off with one of the women (meaning got along well, but I'd have hit it) and she drank me under the table.

Too much on anything can cause problems in your life. Avoiding such things because of a percieved vision of nobility can cause you to miss all that life has to offer. It's the same with guns. I can tell who does this as an enjoyable hobby, who is paranoid, who feels guns are a rite of passage in their 'badass' image, and who has an unhealthy amount of unresolved bloodlust.

Yes, I have never been drunk. I'm 39 and I've only been lightly buzzed twice. Both times, I didn't like the buzzed feeling at all....so why go any further?

I have no use for alcohol. It doesn't offer me anything I want.

One nightwhen I was in high school, me and my two buddiesput a camper out in the woods at some property my family owns. One buddy smuggled a case of bud past his parents and stashed it in the camper(cold enough outside to keep beer chilled). Well, he and my other buddy started in right away while we were still cutting firewood, I drank one to even me out but since I had control of sharp instruments I decided to wait for the rest. Well, anyhow they just kept at it and when one had 5 he stopped and said thats enough for me. Suddenly I realized there was none left for me. My other buddy had put away 18 beers in under 2 hours! After watching him fall into the bed of my truck and bang his head on my gooseneck and ram his head into the side of a pull barn, he passed out. A half-hour later I was on my hands and knees cleening up vomit and my other sober buddy was kicking him in the ribs to wake him up so he would'nt choke on his own puke. After that night I don't think I'll ever touch another beer.

Never been drunk (can't stand the smell of beer anyway or the taste of hard liquor), never tried drugs of any kind, don't smoke, but I love sex and curse like hell. Three out of five isn't too bad.

Wasted my 1000th post for this. Oh well.

You got half of the message then. People often say that guns are icky because they get to use as evidence those who have an unhealthy (a loose term, but you know what I'm getting at) infatuation with them. I LOVE guns, but they are not my life. It's the same with booze. Many times the anti drink crowd uses the uncle that drank nighly to a BAC of %.3 as a reason to call booze evil.

It's all in jest DriftPunch. (Yes, I get what you're saying)

I must admit though, I do enjoy firearms more than drinking.

Tis all good. I can't remember what my 1K post was on, but believe me, you-it's highly over-rated. Now is the time the guilt sets in because you haven't donated to the site. (Well, at least for me it was. "1k and I'll donate..."

Never. I have no tolerance for those who are brought to the ER by friends because they're drunk and vomiting. I give them nothing and tell them they need to face the consequences of their actions. I do the same for those flying on coke or meth who come in because they "feel bad".
