I look down on drinkers. And it's definitely because of those who give all of 'em a bad name.

You shouldn't have an attitude like that, tarring all people with same brush is literally just preducjice. Yes, there are some people that drink too much and can be complete arseholes, but many people that do drink, don't drink to excess and are relaxed, sociable people.

It's like saying I look down on Pokemon players, I once had a experience were a fan was a right twat. Therefore all pokefans are twats.

It's not fair to judge people before you get to know them, we all do it at times, but we should always make an effort to get to know someone first instead of making an assumption about them.

Well, you should know it works the other way as well.

A lot of people look down on all non-drinkers - such as those who just don't like alcohol, who follow a religion that's against it, who are reformed alcoholics who have gone cold-turkey, etc. - because they assume they're all judgmental moralizers like yourself. And that's just as unfair.

But you aren't helping that perception.

Its ok to drink sometimes. Not everyone gets really drunk and do dumb things when they are drunk, sometimes people dont go overboard and just drink because they like it, not to get really drunk. Also not all people out of control when drunk.

Though I guess with all the bad publicity from people doing whack things when drunk it's natural for someone to hold a bad view over anyone who's a drinker, but personally I try not to group everyone into the same category. All of my family drink on a regular basis and they've never done anything stupid. I think the things that happen when people are drunk just depends on the person.

Are we still talking about alcohol? Geez people, come on.

Instead we should talk about something less controversial, such as how awesome my Minecraft LP is.

I watched the first one but haven't watched any more since then. It's pretty good!

Minecraft seems boring to me. Building stuff out of blocks.

Seriously, though, I thought we created a separate thread for this!

There are several in fact, there's the "it's okay to be an alcoholic" thread (the Bulba Pub) and the "drinking is bad and you should feel bad" thread (the thread in Serious Business). I think there might be one in the cooking forum as well.

You never had a fantasy of having your balls filled with monsters, and then letting them out, fighting other monsters?

That sounds kinky.

It's weird that the Bulba Pub was basically started because of me, because I'm probably the only person in my biological family who isn't an alcoholic. (Actually, it runs in my stepdad's family, too, so probably just "my family in general.")

Lol that was actually unintentional.

But totally unsurprising.
