What are the Pros and Cons of drinking alcohol for you personally?

Question

Do you ever think maybe you were designed to be an alcoholic? Sometimes I feel that way and I'm not even Irish...

Here are the pros and cons of drinking for me:

+ It makes me more energetic, stronger, more creative

+ Relaxes me and makes me happier and comfortable

+ I never get hangovers

+ It makes my genitals tingle for some strange reason...

- It makes me bad at walking and driving (but I never drive even while sober...)

So far I haven't heard from anyone who gets a tingly crotch from drinking, does that make me special? How many people do you think alcohol genuinely helps?

Answer 1

there are no cons from drinking the only con is when ur all out.

Answer 2

as an anonymous drunk i concurr.

Answer 3

I don't like most alcoholic drinks.  Alcohol makes be feel nauseous.  I don't get that tingly thing either.

Answer 4

My boyfriend is an alcoholic, as well as my father. They pretty much have those same characteristics. Even tingling d**k. But they also have the downside. Now me personally, i get the down side pretty d**n quick. I get angry and mean to people who are close to me.

They use to drink because of all those reasons you do. and now my boyfriend has a weak liver and cant even drink hard alcohol anymore. He has lost all abilities of being a normal person, comes paranoia, anxiety, and you treat people like ****! it happens trust ME man. My dad is awaiting to fulfill his prison sentence,and doesn't have a whole lot going for him when he drinks. He lost his family a long time ago, and the only reason i even have a dad now is cause of forgiveness, otherwise id just say he's a piece of ****! There is a MUCH worse outcome to alcoholism than you can EVEN imagine!!!

BUT i love to drink, with my boyfriend, and in moderation. Its a fun thing to do to loosen up, on a night off, or to get a little crazy. just level yourself!

Even a pregnant woman is suppose to drink one good ale a day, because its good for you!

Jesus turned water into wine!

but he's not a drunk!

Answer 5

The tingling....hmmm...well my friend, u know, all of us are supposed to have that one thing that makes us unique and exclusive and special...one of a kind in the whole wide world...

Wouldn't it be kick *** if this is YOURS and yours alone?  Lol... I dunno, never heard of it until now, so yeah, I'll vote u special.:p

Now, as to me personally...

Not a "big" drinker, but when the time and occasion is right, count me in, lol.

**** see disclaimer****

Pros:

The world is a funny place to me anyway...when I'm drinking it is a virtual riot.

People amuse me anyway...when I'm drinking they make me double over from laughter.

Makes me even more oblivious to minor stresses than I am already.

Spots and specks on walls become fascinating and worthy of in depth study and discussion, as do any other inanimate objects in view.

Aforementioned inanimate objects often move, which provides additional entertainment value at very low cost.

I love the world and everyone in it.

Cons:

If I drink too much, I might do some really dumb thing...like get my tooth cracked on a beer mug by some drunk guy in a bar who is drunk enough to hand me a thousand bucks in cash to pay for it when I show him what he did - if I had been sober, I'm pretty sure I would've kept the money instead of handing it back and saying, "Awww, you're so nice, so don't worry about it." - and handing the whole stack of cash back and walking away...

I might set my hair on fire playing with a lighter because the flame enthralls me.

I might stand on a table in a club with girlfriends, who are just as drunk as me, and drop beer bottles onto the floor to watch the cool patterns they make when they smash and the liquid pours out.

I might tell the police officer, who asks me if I'm wasted, that he can smell my breathe if he wants to, because I REALLY have not been drinking and want him to KNOW that I am telling the truth.

My face gets numb which is quite distracting, so I tend to smack myself there every few minutes because it amuses me and I want to see if I can "feel my face."

I dislike the head (foam) if it's beer, so have this very annoying habit (to onlookers) of stirring it with my finger to make it disappear.

I love the world and everyone in it.

**** Disclaimer- any and all experiences outlined here might actually have happened in real life, but certainly happened long enough ago that they would not have any lawsuit worthy impact at this point in time for any of the parties involved.
