Pointless But It Does My Head In

We're talking beer, dude, not cha!
Edit: and even so, you'd be hard pushed to beat me. Speaking of which, I think it's time to put the kettle on...

oh is that what that plasticman tune is about! he makes it pretty strong i guess.
but yeah, you got it, cha has to do with the lower tolerance...
good idea! i go down to kitchen now too!
(need more distractions to properly procrastinate on this slightly silly Chameleon project...)
yeah I dunno, reaction vary, but are usually pointless and boring. Either quizzing me as to why I don't (more europeans do this), or giving me an unutterably boring recital of why they DO (americans do that more).
But many of the brits I worked with just eyed me with suspicion, got really awkward, generally seemed defensive, referred to the fact of my nondrinking a lot (as if it caused a problem when planning social events or going down the pub).
I just find it weird that other people fixate on my choices.

Haha, i had the same problem when I moved to London, although i do drink sometimes, just rarely (before midnight). I found that any of "I'm a recovering alcoholic", "I'm a muslim" (stopped using that one), and "I prefer cocaine" makes them more understanding.

Oh, for fuck's sake. Now another clueless prick wants to raise the drinking age to 21.
WHY NOT BAN ALCOHOL ALTOGETHER, MISTER POLICE MAN? Like we have with drugs, which consequently cause absolutely no harm to society whatsoever, obviously. :slanted:

They just found out that alcoholism before age 21 can keep your "adult" faculties of judgment from forming. I wonder if that has anything to do with this guy's plan?

I love that the word 'pub' is in the URL. Positively Dan Brown-esque, if you ask me.

i have no tolerance for alcohol, and in fact, of all drugs, it is my least favorite. prevalent alcoholism on both sides of my family notwithstanding.

another pointless thing that does my head in: shitty mess alcoholics who blubber in public and act generally destructive to everyone and everything around them

Overuse of 'literally'. Like the GMTV reporter (!!!) ITV News had covering the forest fires in Greece last week, who used it four times in about a minute. One of these uses was "...planes dropping literally gallons of water...": really? Whole *gallons*? You're sure they're not going overboard a bit - I mean, all they're trying to do is put out forest fires that are destroying HALF OF FUCKING GREECE. Jesus...
Still, it's not quite as bad as people who say things like "I was literally petrified with fear". No, you were FIGURATIVELY petrified - that's the opposite of literally, right? Gah.

god yes. and sparkly high heeled flip-flops need to combust, now.
there is a pretty funny David Cross bit about this w/ the example being "I literally shit my pants!" and him being like "jeez, wow, what happened next? did you have to go change?"
