    I'm actually drinking Coke right now, the caffeine amps dopamine production which is keeping me alert. The only thing I have against wine is the alcohol, but otherwise it's good for you. I'm not totally against alcohol consumption, but any regular consumption of alcohol makes you an alcoholic which I certainly am not.

    It certainly seems to be the topic of choice around here. Perhaps the body's compensatory response system makes people "silly" when talking about alcohol because it behaves in ways as if it is intoxicated. Sort of a contact high, or imaginary high. Either that, or people here really are alcoholics.

    some of us are extremely sexist too, to the point where we sound like we come from a different era :rolleyes:

    Hey Girlfriend! :)
    Coke is just gross anyway, in my opinion. And caffeine is a drug and if it required to stay sharp and alert, then you are addicted. Right?

    That's what they all say.

    I don't like to drink, because I'm not an alcoholic. Occasionally I will get a drunk on, it tastes gross, makes me feel like shit and I pay for it. If you don't feel the same, you are probably an alcoholic.

    I smoke. Not because I like to. I like to smoke, but I only like to smoke because I'm addicted to smoking. Anyone who is not addicted to smoking doesn't like to smoke.

    Ahnimus my friend you need to lighten up.. do you take such a critical distance to everything in life? you probably don't have any fun.

    sorry. didn't mean for it to sound like that.

    anyway, i'm thinking of substituting the crap i drink all the time (regular/diet pop, coffee) for a can of Guiness.

    B vitamins and it tastes good. yum

    No worries, I don't drink fizzy pop and stuff. It's water at work and usually fruit juice and coffee at home when I am not on the alcohol.

    Yea, I don't like Camel cigarettes or Menthol either. I like the taste of the cigarettes I smoke.

    That's pretty much it. I limit my fun to a few hours a day.

    so what.. you're addicted to cigarrettes.. other people are addicted to drink.. what are you saying Ahnimus, that your addiction of choice is less dangerous and you're smug about that?

    I dont get why you are so critical of the way everyone else chooses to live their life. I think smoking is fucking stupid.

    I can only usually drink water or lager straight after going to the gym.

    I really don't have the time to be looking for all of this, nor do I wish to hammer the point home for you.
    You asked for links..I provided. Coke is bad for you, as is smoking. It would be good for you if you discontinued the use of both.
