This is actually a very good point that I agree entirely with. Personally, I don't drink. I don't drink because I would never drink enough to get drunk. If you just have a few beers, which I used to, you don't really feel much different, or at least I didn't. So, what was the point of that? It wasn't any fun, and it's unhealthy. So I decided not to have any sort of alcohol anymore. Call me a loser, but that's my take.

Loser.

i'll just have a lot of caffene instead of beer

i'll be up all night long

I drink like I smoke. Only in social situations. Drinking alone adds the psychological issues...same with smoking. If it's social, it's a different kind of psychological standpoint.

Lies!

I second this. Alcohol doesn't taste bad at all, but it is an acquired taste. When I first started drinking (at the age of 15... god I'm a chav. :() I couldn't stand the taste of lagers. I think that firstly you get more accustomed to the taste and secondly your taste buds change as you get older, so it doesn't taste quite so bitter.

Also, I second...

...this. I seriously do not understand how people can drink on their own. It just seems really tragic to me, but a lot of my friends will have a beer or two before bed or while they're playing on xbox live. Why they can't just pop into the pub and have a chat if they fancy a quick drink is beyond me.

So yeah, whos up for a drink? I'll get the first round in. :D

Merry Christmas! Peace on earth and good will toward men (and women).

You are not the only one who stopped drinking because it was just shit ;)

Stop promoting binge drinking you young'ins, it dose more harm that good if not done right. And by right a mean making sure you eat enough and do it in a place away from the rest of us :P And if your no too keen on the taste of drink. Then have a cocktail or something cancy like champaign. Always goes down nice.

Aah, awesome song <3

How can you say alcohol tastes bad when you can buy the same flavours of alcoholic drinks as you can none alcoholic.

Also adam you're a twat, but we all already knew that anyway. "Ohh I've only just discovered caffeine so I'm gonna drink lots of red bull and stay up all night". Grow up.

I had vodka and it was horrible and icky and pooey.

Wow! You guys are killing me! lol I'm starting my practicum January 5th and I'm going to be doing a lot of drug and alcohol counseling. Anyway, I can't drink until tomorrow because even though I'm home from work, I have to bake and wrap presents. Someone wrap for me? There's not a lot, I promise! :D

It's good with coke, never had it with vimto though haha. I might have to try that. It's also good with blackcurrant, orange, lemonade etc. pretty much anything - however unless it's a decent vodka don't drink it straight.

Baileys is good.

Merry Christmas too all. Probably wont be around much for the next few days, posting from my new laptop :)

I received a 3G 16 GB iPhone, approximately 15 games for my 360 and 15 games for my Wii, a lot of candy, $600, a lot of accessories for my 360, and quiet a few American Eagle and Abercrombie hoodies.

Made me feel younger again. :P

Merry Christmas to you all!

I am still amazed at how much stuff people get a Christmas :/

Merry Christmas! The only thing I got was kinda boring (new brakes for my car lol) so far anyway. I just woke up and hate the fact that I can't sleep late today because I have to go up north to help my Dad before going to my Uncle's for dinner.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! What goodies did everyone get this year?

I got a really nice digital camera (and a load of accessories for it), some clothes, a Snoopy DVD, some aftershave, a windup toy, Terry Pratchett's new book and a metric crapload of chocolate. :D Oh, and a card from my brother that read: "Tiny Little Penis" on the front.

I got an Apple keyboard, several Moleskine sketchbooks, some high-quality paints, a bunch of clothes, and a new Gillette Razor. Cheers!

Guitar Hero World Tour, Infinite Undiscovery, and The Last Remnant.

Also got 3 Celtic woman CD's, and the new AC/DC Black Ice CD.

Got my own student Bible.

My favorite though, was tickets to a Celtic Woman Concert in Atlanta on the 24th of March.

Clothes too. Also got a second monitor, so I can use 2, or hook my Xbox 360 up to one. I'm looking forward to Hi-def Xbox graphics, which is something I have yet to experience. I got The Last Remnant, and Infinite Undiscovery, just for a few long games to entertain myself.

So Mom and Dad are hinting that you need to shave huh?

I basically only got $ (so far) and 4 sets of brakes for my car, which means that the total of my gifts = about $1200 (that includes the labor of putting the brakes on).

That's not a bad gift. It could be a lifesaver. And the only reason I got a new razor was because my old one was getting all dull and nasty. I'm not as young as you all may picture me.

Got a laptop, leather jacket, couple of 360 games, couple of DVD boxsets, bout £100 in cash, bunch of clothes, some little things. Very pleased with it, had a good christmas with the family, the 360, a few drinks. Looking forward too tomorrow as well. Heading down to Leeds to see the rest of my family. More presents, more drinks, more good times :)

How old is your car??

It's a 2000 but I had about 38,000 miles on those brakes without a brake job. We think the back brakes were originals since they were GM brakes, so we don't know. I never did them when I got the car because they were ok but all 4 brakes were very rusted when they were taken off. I went down a hill and hit the brakes and got grinding, so I was like ooo this isn't good! I wish I could've taken a company car that day but it's hard to get one :/ Unfortunately now the car has to go back to the mechanic tomorrow because I have a check engine light, so I'm really pissed :(

Ah, I see. That's why I probably wouldn't buy an American made car, and I pretty much try to buy everything American made. But the cars just don't do it for me. That's probably why the American auto-makers are having such issues. I don't think 4 breaks should need replacement after 38,000 miles, but then again, I don't really know much about cars :)

My back brakes were very likely to be originals to the car, which means that they may have had 108,000 miles on them. The fronts the mechanic said that I probably had a rock caught in them or something because they got grooved out pretty badly. If they didn't groove, I probably would've been able to have a normal brake job and put another 10,000 miles on them. Though my mechanic was impressed that I put about 38,000 on them for 4 1/2 years without a brake job. He told me that I need to use my brakes to which I told him that it's basically all highway miles.
