*whew*, thanks Askan - I was beginning to worry that I maybe there was something wrong with me=-)

I would find it really really hard to go alcohol free - not because of any kind of addiction, I just love beer too much. I also like that fuzzy feeling which lies on the drunk/ sober border.

Or is everyone just really old and completely out of that pub/club/bar/tavern/inn/bottle shop/21st birthday party/hotel/having a drink with mates on the porch/disco scene? What do you people do after work?
Well, in my case, I only drink socially with friends, and I'm pretty much a hermit. The Last I remember opening the white rum I have on hand was for a candlelight dinner in '93. I was never into the bar scene, and honestly can't remember the Last time I bought alcohol at a restaurant.

I've been on disability since '83, but if I had a job, I'd play computer games and Web surf after work. As it is, I'm Online at least six hours a day, and probably at the computer but offline almost as long.

Well, in my case I can't (see drinking age) but I don't think I would anyway. At least beer. I have this strange aVersion to drinking anything that looks like piss

Besides, I'm screwed up enough as it is, I don't need alchol in there too.

Its funny you might say that cause here in Australia we actually call alcohol piss. Going out on a Friday night and drinking alot is called "getting pissed". My boss is what you call a "pisshead" or a "pisspot" in that he has a beer or two at almost every oppurtunity.

Cheers,

Askan

hehe Just another Anglo term that is TOTALLY OPPOSITE to it's meaning in America -

If someone was to say "Want me to knock you up?" to a Brit they might say "yes, at 8am sharp, please." Say this to an american woman and you have a distinct chance of entering new realms of pain.

Ask "You want to get pissed?" to an American and they would look at you and ask "What is going to make me angry??"
