POLL - Raise Your Glass: Let's Talk About Alcohol Habits

[Bespin Copilot 10,731]

Hey, fellow JWFANS, time to come clean, do you drink like you're celebrating the destruction of the Death Star, or is it more of a quiet 'E.T.' goodbye toast? 

 

Spill the truth!

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

Bourbon for chronic pain management.

[Mr. Hooper 8,622]

I'll just sip on a glass of red at a dinner engagement, or have a beer or two on the terrace in summer, and that's it. But I'll take those Reese's Pieces, thank you. (I'm a chocoholic.)

I can relate to that.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,881]

I have no alcohol habits, because I no longer drink alcohol.

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

Am I to understand your secret ingredient is alcohol?

[Thor 9,347]

I don't really understand the choices there.

 

I usually don't drink during weekdays (unless there are special circumstances, or holidays), only weekends. 4-5 beers and a couple of bottles of wine per weekend, on average.

Bourbon and beans: an explosive combination.

Do you think Spock can handle it?

We know you are a cantina regular, com'on!

Just think of all the expanded soundtracks you could buy for that money.*

 

 

*At least one, after shipping and VAT.

I don't usually drink during weekdays. I save it for the weekends and weeknights.

We have some evidence in another thread. It's now in the public domain.

I finally reached the age where I hate the morning after more than I love the night before. I think it might actually stick this time.

Don't drink wine that often though. Its expensive 

[Andy 7,543]

Weekends a glass of whiskey or wine.  Beer in the summer sometimes.  But honestly, it's more for the ritual and pretending to be an adult than it is for the effect.  I try not to spend to much on it because it's damn expensive, and I like to buy toys, CDs and movies and be able to say "Well at least I don't overspend on alcohol, and I have something to show for it."

Drinkers have something to show for it, but it takes imaging to see it...

Really? Wine is much cheaper over here per alcohol content.

A 500 ml can of 12% special brew is €1,49 nowadays.

 

A 750 ml bottle of wine at 11-13% is about €3,25 at least.

[Sweeping Strings 3,381]

Cantina Regular. 

What can I say? I'm (Northern) Irish - we're a country that has a booze-centred national holiday (St Patrick's) in the middle of a period of abstinence (Lent). Not that I've ever bothered with the latter much ... it tends to be less of a thing with those of us raised Protestant, and I personally think denying yourself the things that make life bearable is dumb anyway. 

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

I have a Guinness from a can and mashed potatoes, from a pack, ever St. Patrick's.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

Alcoholic drink is extremely cheap in this country.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

You can get a can of bear for €0,50 cents in a supermarket.

 

Plus a €0,15 return fee for the can. We're sustainable.

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

My mum can't drink right now because her gallbladder is about to rupture. She's scheduled for surgery soon, so I hope she can drink again not long after.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

Bit of an alcy mum?

 

Poor lad.

She likes a good glass of plonk

Here we say : "Du gros rouge qui tache." (Strong red that stains)

Was the title beating about the bush for what is obviously 'The Alchy thread'

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

Ah the old biddies with stained teeth. Bless em 

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

This was found stained with blood in the missing girl's dressing room.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

But do you drink now drax! I always figured booze scared you

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

I started drinking after I damaged my hearing and found that it helped ease the pain in my joint injuries that were the result of other misadventures.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

Is this around the time your erection problems followed?

 

Look mate, if you had too much to drink. It really doesn't go up. Its fine!

Gives the right hand the evening off, if you know what i mean.

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

The stiffy stuff doesn't matter anymore. It'd just be nice to simply walk without feeling pain again.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

Do you take pain medication? 

 

Beyond Paracetamol or Ibuprofen

Don't give up on your stiffy!

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

Ibuprofen makes me bleed.

 

Booze is all I have for pain.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

Bullshit!

 

Australia is a modern country with excellent healthcare services. And you're far from destitute.

 

Just get a private doctor to subscribe you Oxycodon.

 

I think you would really benefit from it.

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

That stuff's illegal now.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

America practically runs on it nowadays.

 

Have you considered Cannabis? Which is 100% harmless!

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

No way. I saw that movie
