Alcohol - Taste or Drunk?

[Fuzz]

It's not about trying to escape from something. But if you go out to a club/pub or something, after a few drinks you become much more open, and less shy etc. You start to care less about what peoples think and more about having a good time, so you're more likely to dance or talk to people you wouldn't normally and such

So you are escaping from your own persona....

What makes you feel shy or worried about what other people think when you are sober?

I drink for the effect (tipsy/drunk), but whilst doing so I drink those drinks which I enjoy the taste of.

The first few sips of lager or guiness can be refreshing and a different taste. Any more than that, and I don't really like it. A pint's too much.

Don't really like the taste of the rest of it, don't really enjoy the feeling of being drunk, and mainly do it to fit in.

Always for the taste. I love the taste of a good ale. Last night I was persuaded to try some Old Rosie cider. I don't think I'll be doing that again in a hurry. Vile stuff. Give me a pint of Tribute any day.

i like to get really hype, listen to hardstyle techno and drink vodka to get drunk in my leather jacket!

I used to drink Ale because of the taste, and Belgian beer especially for the taste.

Now I can't drink, and even when allowed to again, I don't think I will go back to it.

The taste and to enter a state of light relaxation.

I rarely ever get drunk now, it hold little appeal anymore.

when I was younger it was to get drunk, now it's for the taste.

I still love to drink but I don't get drunk as often as I used to.

How does wearing a leather jacket enhance the drunken experience?

A little from column A, a little from column B

I mainly drink good single malt whiskies, and I don't usually drink enough at one go to get drunk, or even really feel the effect. On occasion it's good to get blasted though.

I used to drink to get drunk. However, thats now changed I perfer to drink socially now.

It's called being a teenager, everyone has felt like that at some time in their lives.

I drink to relax not for the taste or to get drunk. There is nothing more relaxing than chillin' in the sun with a nice glass o wine/ skifter of whiskey / cool refreshing pint

 

[Gaygle]

Usually i drink to get drunk, however i do like a couple of ice cold kopparbergs occasionally if i'm just watching a film or something.

I don't know how anyone could drink spirits if they weren't trying to get drunk though.

You wouldn't last an evening in Russia

At home for taste of some nice herefordshire cider (not bulmers sewage). On the town to party

You've never had a G&T simply because it tastes nice?

 

[weringo]

To get drunk.

I can't stand the taste of most alcohols, some stuff like beer and lager I can barely put in my mouth the taste is so vile, no idea how some people can drink it because they enjoy the flavour.

WATERING DOWN ALCAHOL IS BAD M'KAY!

For the taste, im not a fan of just drinking to get drunk. Nothing better than a refreshing pint of Magners, Bulmers, Kopparberg or Strongbow Sirrus........On a side note the co-op are doing 750ml Magners for £1.79 just now
