    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.

    No, alcoholism is the persistent consumption of alcohol.

    No, I don't need to drink, I just like to.

    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?

    I don't drink every day, it's usually just a nice way to wind down after work and stuff.

    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.

    I actually like the taste of the alcohol that I drink, if I don't like the taste I don't drink it.

    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.
