Drinking Habits

If you are going to drink hard liquor drink Scotch. Please don't mix it with anything sweet. Scotch goes with water (pure water avoid the tap) ice (made from the same water mentioned) or club soda.

Sweet, thanks for the advice. Smiley face.

That is, if you can tolerate the strage taste of Scotch to begin with. Obviously not everyone thinks Scotch tastes like ass. And that's ok.

LOL! It is an acquired taste. I find that there is little or no hangover from Scotch, but you'll be tired the next afternoon. One other thing it will put weight on you.:D
 
I just got into college, and i just began to drink. I also play basketball at my college on a full scholarship. I like to drink, but all i hear from the other end is why i shouldn't drink. I know absolutely nothing about beer, liquor, nothing about da booze.

If you must drink, please do it in moderation (sorry to sound like a Mom; I drink more than I should, but I still make work every day with a clear head). A full athletic scholarship is a rare thing, so please respect that. Have fun, by all means, but see if you can't turn that scholarship into something special. It really is a major thing that few people get...

There's plenty of time to become a drunk after you've failed at everything! ;)

A friend's son, with a full scholarship, just broke a vertebrae and can no longer play so he has to take the education seriously. It happened in practice in an instant. He was not drinking nor reading Bukowski so you have hope.
Take care and drink responsibly.
 
Well, since we're putting our voices of responsibility out there, I'll pass on my life motto:

Practice Survival Moderation

Do I live by it? Mostly.

Well thank you both for your words of wisdom. There is definetely plenty of my life to waste away after most important things are out of the way.

Purple, this is exactly the way my kids blow me off. That's just the way they are damn it. These kids think they know everything.

And I'll bet you were the same to your parents (I know I was).

A parent's revenge on their children is their grandchildren.

I thought that it was clear that I was saying don't ever become a drunk until you've tried everything. Guess not.

Yes, but no kids for me. What revenge do I get?

I like the way drinking makes me feel like I'm such a wonderful guy and everyone likes what I have to say.
The hangover is reality returning with it's cold hard hands around my throat again.

Grinding teeth sounds like Meth
I just heard a commercial on the radio today about how pot is safer than alcohol and less addictive. It was an L.A. radio station
I grind my teeth since I was a kid. I grind my teeth more when I drink a few days in a row.

Someone told me 25 years ago that pot is not addictive at all.
Less THC in the 60ties, 70ties & 80ties.
He is still right.

Nowadays pot is real hard dope. Awful devolepment.

I don't smoke pot, hard to believe huh ;)

Spot on David, Chapter 31 :cool:

When I got back to Los Angeles I found a cheap hotel just off Hoover Street and stayed in bed and drank. I drank for some time, three or four days. I couldn't get myself to read the want ads. The thought of sitting in front of a man behind a desk and telling him that I wanted a job, that I was qualified for a job, was too much for me. Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat.
