Alcohol increases the risk of mouth and throat cancers, anyway.

Alcohol fucking sucks!

Alcohol is cool in moderation, and hell it's used in religious ceremonies by Christians so it's hardly scary stuff.
That being said, I am disgusted by binge drinkers and that whole college culture completely.

Agree, wholeheartedly.
I also noticed that my body doesn't even allow me to swallow much alcohol. Unless I force it I probably can't get drunk.

i want to burst your bubble of a world and get you on the lash. Have an insane night, wake up hungover as fuck and laugh about the insane shit that happened the night before.
I know you'll read this the wrong way but I always feel you've been a bit sheltered when it comes to just winding back and trying something new. Get over to oz boyo

I HAVE done all that shit lol. You're a good three to four years too late for this post.
There was fun squeezed out of it sure, but I really do NOT miss those days at all. It's dumb kid shit we do, rite of passage even. But then most of us grow out of that.When you grow up Smudge you'll find the best drinking is casual, not bender shit. Making you looser in the social situation, not making you not remember shit. Of course the company you keep changes that up.
As for trying something new and getting out there, if going to Australia is the barometer loll. Come with US to the Balkans this summer boyo. See some third world, see some Greek nazis, see some countries that might beat me up if they find out where I'm from. Some real adventure shit, as opposed to getting drunk (the same drunk I can do anywhere) in Australia's version of Albuquerque lol.

1. I have woken up hungover. Not fun or funny even with the insane shit that happened the night before. Hell I've had contact with alcohol since I was a baby :U I have origins from a brilliant wine making village of Cyprus. Wine that in just one glass, is able to knock out British 'boyos' who think alcohol poisoning is fun. :Y
2. Sheltered?? Zeph?? In trying something new? You gotta be kidding me. :U Bitch, he ate bull balls and didn't even blink. :3

Cyprus was filled with British tourists too lol. It was like the British Jersey Shore.
-
I ate bull testicles.
Meat is tender as hell.
-
If Bull balls taste like meatloaf then it can't be all that bad
-
I've heard pretty good things about beef testicles actually.
After what Chrissie has told me though I really have to try lamb eyeballs at some point.
-
I don't like anything with that kind of texture. Squishy stir-fry and grilled zucchini are the worst.
-
I plan on never getting drunk. (I can't predict the future so of course it MIGHT happen, but for now my determination stands strong.) I've always been able to have enormous amounts of fun without alcohol and my emetophobia has made me deathly afraid of hangovers. Some alcohols taste really good and I'll willingly drink a few bottles worth, but after that I'm done.
-
The closest thing to alcohol that I like are wine coolers and Rum Cake

Being tipsy will never not be nice.
-

I agree. Of course, once in a blue moon I feel like just getting blasted off my ass but when I drink most of the time it's just for being looser and at most getting tipsy. Of course, the company I'm with makes getting completely drunk not as bad. I'll miss my classmates :(
-
I really fucking hate the obnoxious college drinking culture. I guess it's because Italians are exposed to stuff like wine at dinner time way earlier, whereas here there's the retarded age 21 law so they just go nuts.
-
Good thing I party in Mexico all the time so that age 21 law doesn't affect me as much, at least in terms of knowing how to control myself since I'm already fairly experienced with it instead of forcibly waiting until I'm 21.
Yes, there's a law in Mexico too, but it's above 18, and either way, it doesn't stop most 14-17 year olds from drinking. Awful law enforcement yes.
-

That's a lot of it I think. The taboo makes people go buck wild.
Makes me kind of worry about the Islamic world when parts of it get more secular. Like I wonder if binge drinking among teens is a huge problem in like Turkey or Azerbaijan. Of course it's harder to GET at the same time I think, whereas here in the US you have both the taboo and the huge availability. -
I'm probably one of the heavier drinkers here so saying this comes with a bit of bias, but I don't mind the rip-roaring drunk days/nights. They have their place as long as things don't get too out of hand. It all depends on the approach and reasoning to me–I think there's a difference between having twelve beers at the Superbowl or a wedding, and taking six tequila shots on a Friday night while watching Eastbound and Down.
I agree with Zeph about the appeal of laid-back adult style drinking. I'm a big fan of single malt scotch and microbrews, so to me the perfect drinking night is getting to that level between tipsy and drunk with a group of friends. I feel like I'm very comfortable actually getting drunk, though. It probably has to do with me loving the taste of most alcohol and living in a country with an in-your-face drinking culture. I'm actually going bar hopping tonight, so here's to having a few and not getting too sloppy.
-
Bar hopping is really fun, it's pretty much the literal only thing I miss about Savannah. As well as the times I had the most fun getting straight up drunk.
I think it's the house parties I hated that sort of drunk at in the long run. Bar hopping gives it a sort of different atmosphere, kills the creeping claustrophobia and keeps you guessing. It really just owns. -
Yeah, I enjoy doing the whole one drink/snack and moving on thing–helps you find little hole in the wall places in your town that you didn't know exist. It also helps that I'm no longer in L.A. paying $12 for a drink at some places.
Yeah, with house parties there are too many variables in terms of personality types some times. Unless you've set up who is going to be there, you have a better chance of having some kind of douchebag or that weird feeling of a bunch of drunken strangers basically coming out of the walls. Kickbacks and bar hopping make it way easier to enjoy what your doing and meet people. Not to mention the quality of booze at one of those smothering Animal House parties is almost always going to be disgusting.
-
I remember being able to do karaoke, irish pub dancing, drag show, and five guys all in one night once. Honestly past a point the alcohol was incidental fuel rather than the point in of itself, like at them damn beer pong type parties.
-
Yeah, once you've reached the point where you are done drinking and just let the feeling carry you (as opposed to people who keep drinking thinking the feeling is going to go away), you've got it all figured out.
Also, by not capitalizing Five Guys, it sounds like you had a lot more to drink than you say you did.
-
I recently got reminded of how much moderation ups the level of fun when drinking. When I was 18 I would just down a bottle of vodka in 15 minutes, not remember half of the night the next day and think I was awesome. Drinking only a little and actually having control is way better. I just still have problems with finding the perfect level of drunk. I've had way too many nights when I was either way too sober and felt stupid among other drunk people or when I was way too drunk and felt stupid among other less drunk people.

ugh I just have this horrible image of that bar scene with matt Damon and Ben affleck, but your head in place. Just no.
Btw I don't mean blind drunk, super hungover and not able to remember shit, but relaxed and buzzing with social energy.

Bull balls. This is oz girl, we have far more crazy stuff than that. And in regards to wine….I'm a red man, and oz is pumping out some quality Shiraz.
And lol what on earth is alcohol poisoning? Whatever it is I must be immune to it by is stage.

@CCC:
I can pretty much guarantee that there will never be alcohol in those six things.
-There are chain restaurants where you can make your own okonomiyaki (the one in my region is called DohTonBori; I don't know if it's nationwide). They bring you the raw ingredients and batter and you cook it on the frying pan table in front of you.
-Absolutely no reason for there to be alcohol in ramen or omuraisu.
-Onigiri is just seaweed-wrapped rice, sometimes with filling. Salmon and tuna are good.
-Takoyaki are typically a festival food, which the person running the stall cooks in front of you, so you can see that they don't use alcohol. Leave off the sauce to be safe.
-Dango are made with flour and water. But… the sauce (the shoyu variety) usually has a bit of rice wine/vingear in it.All of that said, though, any dish cooked in a pan that uses sake would have the actual alcohol content burned off by the time it's done, leaving just the flavor. Is it against halal if alcohol was used in the preparation, or just if it passes your lips? If it's the latter, then the main thing to watch out for is sauces.
Your post made me incredibly happy :D Thanks! Hope is now renewed.
Yeah, even if alcohol is burned off during the cooking process, no one can guarantee that even a little did not remain, so nothing containing alcohol is considered halal. I think the standards are the same for kosher status.Thanks for the tips!

My sick burns from the New England thread still echoing around your head. Owned.

Where the heck are you from where "college drinking" = getting a buzz lol. Maybe it's a European thing, except Chrissie didn't need help understanding it so maybe it's a Brit thing.
Bull balls. This is oz girl, we have far more crazy stuff than that.
ahahaha, like what. Bloomin' Onions?
The only thing Australia has that's exotic or adventurous is the wildlife. Otherwise it's just another goddamn British diaspora immigrant ex-colony like we have over here in the States and Provinces.
Your not gonna impress me with that lol. I mean shit, I don't even have to wait for the Balkans. Cyprus was waaaaaay more interesting and adventurous.
By comparison Australia would just be like visiting Arizona or something except with goofy accents and the threat of deadly spiders and sharks lol. Sounds fun braw.Starting from December 2012, here's my year's itinerary.
-Cyprus
-Greece stopover
-Iceland
-Greece
-Macedonia
-Serbia
-Bosnia
-Croatia
-Hungary
-Romania
-Bulgaria
-TurkeyOr I can go drink with basically just the same bros from around here, except they say "mate".
Which sounds better to you lol.
And in regards to wine….I'm a red man, and oz is pumping out some quality Shiraz.
Southern Europe versus Australia hahahaha.
Bet they don't have Commanderia in "oz".what is this I don't even….
The locals call you guys "Billies" lol.

The most interesting thing about Turkey, which is found in a lot of the nearby countries and I assume around the world, is the driving
That shit is the most frightening thing I've ever seen
In a taxi in a six lane road that makes a LEFT HAND TURN AND SWIPES NEAR A STOPLIGHT ACROSS FIVE LANES TO MAKE THAT ENTIRE TURN and nobody even bats an eyelash at it and all of the other drivers aren't even surprised, because they do it too and they know how to handle it
When my dad was living there it was kind of incredible
Istanbul you were something else.

@The:

Jesus fucking christ, Cyprus was horrible. Both sides of the green line. Horrible horrible drivers.
And not even like because they were dumb drivers, but because everyone was just aggressively nonchalant about doing really dangerous things. All the time. The nonchalant part was what made it so scary. It wasn't like the young idiots here who do that stuff and act like badasses. Middle aged people in Cyprus were just driving like maniacs…like it was normal.
When me and Chrissie were driving down the main road in Limassol we had like three times where we almost killed guys randomly hopping out of car doors on to the road. And acting like nothing was up.
(bad drivers in the US are plentiful, but mostly from distracted moments of idiocy).
And yeah, I've heard it's the same across a lot of Southern Europe/Eurasia.
And super bad in the poorer countries like in the Balkans.Suffice to say we are taking the train through the Balkans, and the bus on part of the way. I am too young to be killed by a Serbian not signaling his left turn.

Haha, you guys should try driving in the narrow ass winding mountain roads in Italy (and the traffic in Rome especially is a nightmare among nightmares). Sometimes there aren't even rails

Yeeeeah~ Which you are suggesting you have tried already and not turned away disgusted? :) Mention some of the crazy stuff and I'll mention some of ours. Like eating alive shit from the sea since I was a baby. Or helping my dad get all the good meat from lamb heads and savoring the taste of eyeballs especially~
You are NOT most certainly trying to compare wine from other countries with Cyprus' wine. We made wine before others stopped being monkeys and threw their feces at their friends for socializing. Wine-making in Cyprus has literally being going on for thousand of years~ Oldest discovery being dated in the 3500-3000 BC. We are pros at this shit.
Immunity to alcohol poisoning? That's called alcoholism dear~ :P
I think what he probably meant, is that the British come here to party wild and generally be the clowns of the island. :U

I struggle with the notion of Iceland being exotic.

That looks exotic enough to me! 8U Especially compared to Cyprus' dark green…

I struggle with the notion of Iceland being exotic.
It's not, I was listing all the places I am going to be or have already been between decembers 12' and 13'. To the guy accusing me of not getting out enough, and that the cure was Australia lol.
You guys went to Iceland? :O Please talk about it!
No and not yet. All those other trips are Chrissie accompanied or Chrissie related.
Iceland is an abroad trip from my school for some class credits in environmental geography.
And as Wolfwood is suggesting I'm honestly already bored at the though of it haha. I mean beautiful as I'm sure it is, mannn I'm a Human Geographer.
The Balkans are full up of still clashing shifting social tectonics, Europe's economic ghettos, and the roadways of major ass empires from the Romans, Greeks, Turks, Hungarians, Austrians and a ton of different kingdoms in between them. It's ground zero for my interests at the moment (aside from West Africa, but that's a little TOO adventurous for my stage lol).Iceland by contrast is just a bunch of carefree well off blonde people fishing miles from anyone else.

The geography of Iceland is actually extremely exotic… Icy volcanoes and scalding tundras, all that shit.

This really is true, it's like a blue/green cold Arizona in some ways.
But I don't care about that all that much XD.
