Alcohol
The cause of, and solution to, all of lifes problems.

Since when is having a good time that you may only vaguely remember a bad thing?

Stupid dumn b*tches.

Hey, who the f*ck took my last sip. I was right here a minute ago.

This is interesting. By interesting, I mean this is not interesting.

Alcohol>Viagra.

Mr. Bungle At Work		2004-07-27 10:56:43 AM

Actually, Xanax turns me into Mr. Hyde, especially with the addition of ALCOHOL.

/cocaine does it to many others

a4dzac		2004-07-27 10:58:08 AM

"To help people add that up, consumer groups are pushing for alcohol containers to list serving sizes..."

Serving size: 12 0unces
% of Daily Recommended Allowance: 100%

Riiiiiight.

Ahhh, nothing like waking up drooling the drool of regret on the pillow of remorse. At that point, you know that drinking a "little" would probably have been good for you.

binnster		2004-07-27 10:59:17 AM

But there is one bottom line: Five or six drinks only on Saturday night will provide no benefits, while a drink or two a night might.

If only I read this on Saturday. I'd got past 5 or 6 drinks by about 3pm. God only knows what the tally was by 3am, but I'm only just feeling good enough to start drinking again.

wescoe		2004-07-27 11:00:04 AM

Did that article tell me to drink every day?

Bubba Ho-Tep		2004-07-27 11:02:18 AM

So, as each study is completed, the amount of daily alcohol intake is doubled. I shall accept the findings of this study when it reaches, oh, say, 16 drinks per day...

binnster		2004-07-27 11:02:50 AM

still more links even light drinking to breast cancer.

This is the only reason I'm grateful for not having tits...well...that and that tits look stupid on a bloke...but still...tits...mmmmmmm

MixMasterMadge		2004-07-27 11:03:37 AM

Alcohol is like oxygen...you get too much, you get too high
not enough & you're gonna die.

Ever heard the myth that you can live off of 52 Guinesses and an orange a day? I tried it once, with lackluster results....

binnster		2004-07-27 11:06:16 AM

Ever heard the myth that you can live off of 52 Guinesses and an orange a day?

I heard about a guy that tried to live off nothing but Guinness. He was doing really well until he was hospitalised with scurvy. Guess he should've thrown an orange or two into that diet.

Quakerboy2		2004-07-27 11:10:23 AM

Studies consistently show that in people 40 or older, consuming one to four drinks daily significantly reduces the risk of heart disease, the nation's leading killer. In contrast, five or more drinks daily markedly increases heart risk.

4 is good for you, but 5 is bad for you? I'm confused. The line seems a little fine, in my opinion.

If you're doing it to get better, I'd stick to 1-2 a day.

eddyatwork		2004-07-27 11:10:55 AM

Heh, 12 drinks a day is good for me. Fark the busybodies who say I'll die younger. I'm just losing the end years of my life when I'll be poor anyway.

Men have breasts, just not as large as those of women. Consequently, men can get breast cancer too, just not as often as women.

umm that is funny

All this beer talk makes me want to leave work at 10:30 and drink

I know. I try to content myself by saying that too, but it's just not the same.

Alcohol plus disco biscuits = one passed-out mother farker. But not before climbing up on the roof naked and cussing the cops out.

Dorf11		2004-07-27 11:19:09 AM

Alcohol is also the Ms. Albright and Ms. Alicia Witt of the real world.

Mr. Bungle At Work		2004-07-27 11:20:37 AM

[DistendedPendulusFrenulum]

By 'disco-biscuit' you are refering to pills containing methyldioxy-methamphetamine, right?

I kinda like to mix the two a little, but not too much. Dehydration bad.

Scooter36		2004-07-27 11:22:02 AM

Is there anything it can't do?

DistendedPendulusFrenulum		2004-07-27 11:24:25 AM

Quaalude, or Methaqualone.

You see, I am old. Studio 54 old.

I forgot there are men out there with breasts that would put most women to shame. Oh... it's nearly lunch/teatime (depending on whether you're on the East coast of the US or in Western Europe). Bon Apetite!!!

hubiestubert		2004-07-27 11:25:02 AM

I figure it's safe to stick to the four food groups, which is why Irish Coffee is best.

Caffiene group, sugar group, fat group, AND the alcohol group. Drink four or five a day for perfect health, and give up that stoopid Atkins plan. Replace each meal with an Irish Coffee and watch the pounds melt away...

meshman		2004-07-27 11:25:08 AM

Thank god the legal substance is the least harmful.

Mr. Bungle At Work		2004-07-27 11:26:09 AM

I see... then you would be pretty battered, wouldn't you? One of the few chemicals I have failed to try, but if it's anything like flunitrazepam (Rohypnol), I think I've got a pretty good idea...

JesusJr		2004-07-27 11:27:14 AM

Yeah, whatever. As if I can stop after 2 or three. Next they will tell me to just do 1 line. I am an all-or-nothing type of guy, ergo I can't drink if I want to stay out of jail. I don't play well with others after 6 beers.

DistendedPendulusFrenulum		2004-07-27 11:30:36 AM

I see... then you would be pretty battered, wouldn't you?

Nearly deaf. And still not fully recovered from slamming at CBGB to the Dead Kennedys in the early Eighties.

And it is a wonder I am not dead from potentially lethal combinations like the one above.

Curmudgeon		2004-07-27 11:31:09 AM

I think the better question to ask is: would you drink a beer poured through Marcie Berry's buttcrack?

/might.

DistendedPendulusFrenulum		2004-07-27 11:33:55 AM

JesusJr

Y'know, I bought my wife some beer for her birthday. After the party, I found an empty and chucked it. She said "Hey, that's worth a nickel," so I got it back out of the garbage.

Next day, I looked for the other five empties, and couldn't find them. So I assumed they'd been thrown away too, and chucked the one empty that I saved the previous night.

Later, I found the five bottles, still unopened, on top of the fridge.

Some people just don't know how to drink.

I quit a little over 1 month ago. There was a 12 pack in my fridge. There are still 5 beers left, and I didn't drink any of the others. Yea for willpower! Now, when wine making season comes, I will have a real test. I might be able to do just 2 glasses of wine by then.

likelyculprit		2004-07-27 11:47:57 AM

anyone else wonder how the lady in the pic can be "enjoying" her beer when it's really just piss in a bottle?

[waxingpolemic]
Is it possible to sniff coke and not drink? I can't farking bear the stuff if I'm not already drunk and I don't have a) more alcohol or b)sedatives/cannabis for later.

/I'll stick to Scotch and pot

Otmen		2004-07-27 12:04:42 PM

Now THAT is a tasty beer!

iollow		2004-07-27 12:05:11 PM

It tastes great, makes women more attractive, and makes a person virtually invulnerable to criticism.

Jonny.the.Q		2004-07-27 12:10:44 PM

Yeah this does deserve an [obvious] tag.
By the way, there is a bar here in Pittsburgh called Jeckyll and Hyde. Appropriately named. If the jocks didn't hang out there so much I would probably go there. It's a cool place.

Just DO NOT drink This Much (NSFW)

Life is too short to drink bad beer. I still don't understand how people can drink Bud.

keg_monkey		2004-07-27 12:23:36 PM

There is a Jeckyl and Hyde in NYC too. great place.

Mr. Bungle At Work		2004-07-27 12:26:02 PM

Holy scheiss [gabor]! I've seen some farked up results of over drinking, but that takes the cake! *bwaaa*
