Hey Homer

i prefer grog
i make my own at home
you just diluted rum down to 5% ABV
its like beer but the flavor is more complex

>>21380548
...why don't you say you get a hand of everclear and dilute it with a shit ton of water in multiple bottles because you're cost effective and insufferable

>>21380531 (OP)
Because you're a drug addict.
>pffft no
Ethanol is a drug. I don't care how normalized it is as part of cuisine; as far as I'm concerned, tolerating its consumption for as long as we have is a mistake.

Yup. I do drugs (alcohol) and enjoy my life. If you know of something else I should be doing that's more important, I'm all ears. My needs are all taken care of and there is nothing to do but drink and relax after I'm done with the day's tasks or occupy my time with some surrogate activity that feels important and meaningful but isn't. Working out and learning online courses is enough for me.

>>21380569
Human civilisation was built on beer and you can enjoy something without being addicted to it, retard.

>>21380642
>I do drugs (alcohol) and enjoy my life
If you did, you'd have no reason to intoxicate yourself.
>If you know of something else I should be doing that's more important, I'm all ears
You could start by treating your ethanol dependency and why you feel the need to justify it.
>>21380644
>Human civilisation [sic.] was built on beer
Please keep the misanthropic sentiments to a minimum.
>you can enjoy something without being addicted to it
Doing something once a day is what's called a habit, and forming a habit around a psychoactive substance is what's called an addiction.

>>21380673
I'm addicted to a good time and there's NOTHING you can do about it!

I came to learn that to truly love beer, I needed to imbibe it in moderation. I don't always have beer around now as a result. It's probably better that way and I take fewer naps. But a crisp lager is the most refreshing drink you can have, sometimes. Simple as.

I didn’t say you were boring, I said you aren’t fun.

Can you do that without the faggy British part at the end next time, Govna?

>>21380548
Watered down rum is not more complex than beer. Do you make it or do you just buy rum and mix it with water? That's not "making grog". You need to brew or distill or add spices or something. Mixing rum and water and nothing else isn't grog.

>>21380569
I get the opinion booze is bad but why are you wording it like a righteous, finger-wagging temperance lesbian with a stick up her ass?

You're aware that it's both unrealistic and gay to suggest we attempt to prevent people from drinking. Are you trolling as a churchlady character? You must be self-aware enough to not be real.

What's the stuff Ben Franklin cooked up with a recipe and gave to sailors? Maybe I'm conflating it with something else. But when you compare it to beer like it's got more going on and you say you make it at home and then that just ends up being measuring out water and rum it just doesn't sound right. Doesn't sound superior to beer or like anything's been made. Or that it should have a cool caveman name like 'grog' and just be weakened rum.

>I make a traditional Florf which really gives Sake a run for its money. I go home and open up a bottle of vodka and then it's 2 parts water 1 part vodka. The flavor profile of this Florf is really subtle yet complex. I make it. And I prefer it to something totally unrelated and far more expansive in color, texture, flavor, pretty much every way.

>>21381314
>why are you wording it like [stereotypically annoying character I made up]
I all but guarantee that the original Temperance Movement had no one of any alternative sexualities in it. If it did, they would certainly not be "open" about it at the time.
>unrealistic
With the technology of a hundred years ago, sure. It would also require a culture-wide dedication to sobriety, which would inevitably put caffeine in the crosshair, and that might be more unrealistic (read: difficult) to promote than mobilizing the surveillance state for a good cause for once.
>gay
The prevalence of "gay bars" around the cultural West tells me otherwise.

Bread don't get you drunk.

If I dip my break in whiskey it does. Why make two separate motions to ear and drink when I can do them all in one?!

>>21382029
Then you're modifying the bread by lacing it with a drug, barely different from what cannabis abusers call "edibles." That's not a food, that's a drug delivery mechanism.

>>21380531 (OP)
its just so dang gratifying. I cannot think of another beverage or even food stuf that engenders the same level of gratification on the end user. A cigarette maybe but that ain't a beverage or foodstuff.
It just hits the spot

>>21382009
if you malt the grains then let it ferment for a while in a thin batter until it becomes alcoholic then make it into a flatbread it might

>>21382059
Again, barely different from the "edibles" that cannabis abusers make and consume.

>>21380673
I guarantee I work harder and have accomplished more in life than you, faggot. I just know how to enjoy myself when the time is right and don't have a weird relationship with alcohol like faggots like you with alcoholic loser dads. Work hard, play hard. Learn how to live life without being a freak about it.

>>21380531 (OP)
Because you're on the wrong website, buddy.

This is 4chan, not Instagram or Facebook. Around here we think twice and we generally recognize that alcohol is bad for the body, it makes you act stupid and ruins your health.

Hit up one of the above-mentioned normie centrals and you might find them to be more reciprocative to the topic.

fibby bobbuy

Blog post: I drink, often. I never saw myself as an alcoholic but perhaps I am somewhat of an alcoholic, I have had beer for breakfast, I take a couple beers in the car, I like my spirits neat, etc. It's been a part of my life forever, so it's never been something I think twice about. I have a good tolerance and rarely get drunk unless I'm an idiot and don't eat enough, so that makes me further think that it's not a problem, I only drink when I feel like it, I never feel like I need it. I love beer as a refreshing way to unwind or relax, or as a way to enhance some sort of activity or work that I am doing, but never as a necessity. I still don't believe that I have a problem, and I know you losers are going to tell me otherwise and parrot how bad it is for me in between your carcinogenic store bought slop foods.

Yeah it is and does. But, fuck off. I eat well, lift and exercise constantly, and I like beer and a bit of whiskey. Sometimes to excess. It’s the white man’s way, and you’re a nigger faggot to suggest otherwise.

No, "bro" is just a straight edge 17 year old who will, as they tend to, become a really heavy drinker for like a year when they come of age and get it out of their system, and then have a beer or two with dinner once a month after.

Although it is refreshingly nostalgic to see there are still sXe teens trying to flame, and not doing it very well.

Like 90% of people who say shit like this have some hidden reason to be resentful of alcohol like they aren't allowed for religious reasons and hate feeling excluded, they physically can't handle it and hate feeling excluded, or they are alcoholics and hate feeling excluded. The rest of us can just enjoy beer sorry

>>21394286

Never mind, I could've answered all of them with just one "no." No, if you're still confused.

Nobody is born addicted to a drug unless it was the only thing the mother consumed while she was pregnant; in which case, that's strictly a condemnation of the mother.

>>21395726
I drink alcohol, but you should look into alcohol studies done on rats... they specifically had to breed alcoholism into the little rodents.

>>21395756
>they specifically had to breed alcoholism into the little rodents
In that case, I call anything similar in humans a consequence of the drug being both culturally and legally normalized for generations.

I can’t wait for the bars to open so I can have a beer. Can’t drink at home because the kids. Yes I’m an addict.

That’s cool. I’m going to start doing this too.

>How beer became white
The people who invented beer converted to Islam, meanwhile white people invented pretty much all the modern varieties and innovations in beer making.

You are overthinking it a bit, sometimes shit really is just that simple, like a rum and coke or a good sandwich it's just throwing shit together.

half of my ancestors were alcoholics, others were addicted to tobacco. it's only natural we all end up being addicted thanks to natural selection. I guess that's why I'm a dopamine addict.

>DRUGS ARE HECKIN ILLEGAL BRO

>>21401217
>it's only natural we all end up being addicted thanks to natural selection
And now we live in a society, where seriousness and sobriety are better markers of success. Besides, natural selection made plants and fungi produce those compounds to stop animals from eating them, not for our amusement.
>>21401509
Sadly, no, some drugs are legal. This thread is about one.

>>21401838
>Besides, natural selection made plants and fungi produce those compounds to stop animals from eating them, not for our amusement.
they produce them to aid in survival. if that means keeping away animals that would completely destroy them, that's what it's for. if that means amusing an animal that would propagate them and ensure their survival, then it's also accomplishing the same thing.

plenty of animals prefer fruit that has become overripe and alcoholic. this can still aid in survival because it means fruit that produces more alcohol could be better at spreading seeds elsewhere.

Remember to only drink the best.

>>21402013
improved

>>21401862
>if that means amusing an animal that would propagate them and ensure their survival, then it's also accomplishing the same thing
Or they could be of medical use for us, and it would benefit both the plant and us to restrict its compounds to that use and only when necessary, including ethanol.

When your a kid sure its the worst taste youve ever experianced, much like coffee. But when you grow up your tastes will change and after forcing yourself to drink it a few times you'll soon find you love the taste. Nothing goes better with dinner than a Quiness or other stout beer.

>Coffee SUCKS
some of it does. some is so bad that even a ton of milk and sugar makes it barely drinkable. but then you can get some good quality light roasts that almost end up tasting like fruit juice after brewing which is pretty nice.

>>21403245
You had me until you insulted coffee, the sexond greatest drink there is.

>>21403276
>Just good times
Until you wake up the next morning wondering if that'll be the day you die, either puking or shitting until your stomach starts digesting itself...

>>21403325
That only happens if you're a binge drinker (addict/degen) or have shit genes. If you're not blacked out then drinking gatorade, coconut water, or even water before you go to bed totally eliminates any hangover.

True, now you can marry a used up whore and then get financially destroyed in a no-fault divorce like a good civilized person.

Go back far enough, our ancestors used sharp rocks to drill holes in their heads to get rid of demons.

>>21403434
You should try that now.

Alcohol is retarded.
If you are not tired but bored, do something productive.
If you are tired, go to bed.
If you want to socialize, a pot of sweet strong tea will make you more energized and outgoing than beer, while having less glycemic load and not wrecking your neurotransmitter balance.
