Nihil Obstat

I don't drink at all. Mainly because I hate the taste. I think most things in moderation are good. I don't think any differently if you do or do not drink. I used to work at a gas station and sold alcohol a lot. I felt bad for the guy who bought a huge bottle of Jack every single day.

Hey, a guy has to brush his teeth.

Wine is the bomb-digity.

 

(For the record: I was raised in the Catholic church by parents who didn't drink wine regularly but sure enjoyed margaritas. I love wine. Especially reds. Preferably a Malbec.)

extra props for the Malbec!!

I remember a priest telling me that Polish men drank vodka exclusively because wine made them act girly. Hahahaha. I hope I never act like a woman.

I know someone with an allergy to something in alcoholic beverages such that her major joints dislocate due to some sort of connective tissue reaction. Of course, she MUST be untrustworthy, your post is a reminder to me never to lend her any money. And most especially never to let her drive my Alfa Romeo. 

 

Joint dislocation from alcohol drinking? Never heard of such a thing, perhaps a disulfuram reaction of some sort, but obviously I was not referring to such a person. Anyone who does not drink during an occasion is seen as being rude because drinking and being festive are synonymous. Furthermore to not drink is seen as something strange, overtly puritan, and anti social.

Not that it matters but: I don't drink. Still, wine is the bomb-digity. Especially Malbecs. :like:

I personally can't find myself trusting people who don't drink, or any other prude for that matter. Drinking without moderation during festivities is important, and in fact to not do so is considered rude in my culture. If handed a drink at a toast you must drink, otherwise you will cause great offense to the host and those around you. This is coming from a culture thoroughly Roman Catholic, and I find the puritanism common among other Europeans as very strange and distasteful.

Everything you post is bs...lol I personally can't trust anyone who leaves Gods Church and bashes it then tells me its "important" to drink without moderation at festivities and get wasted....That's a mortal sin......But you don't believe in that....Get the floppy out of here.... Edited by Guest

Ehh, well there are many cultures. 

The choice to drink or not drink alcohol can be for personal reasons, health related reasons, or maybe people just dont like how it tastes!

It doesnt seem very fair to judge someone or distrust them (whatever that means) just because they choose not to drink.

I make kick-arse spaghetti sauce with wine. And beer & pizza are manna from heaven. :beer:


BTW, I actually posted a blessing for beer somewhere on the phorum a while back...

Exactly. How do we know you're cool if you don't drink? Come on, everybody's doing it.

Beer, liquid bread...

Blessed are You, Lord Our God, Ruler of the Universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.
