I drink beer occaisionally but mailnly drink Sour Mash, Bourbon or Scotch. I never drink any other days except Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and usually never before 9:00 PM. But when I drink, I drink all I want with abandon.

I'll have a JD or beer at my weekly RPG session and also on the weekends (spirits) with my weekly poker group. Good times.

As good a definition of Britain as any. Unfortunately i live in an area fairly densely populated with 'youths' of the beer-swilling, pavement-vomiting variety. Ah, Blighty. Gotta love it

I drink coffee every morning, water all day, of course I drink :P. But being 14 I don't drink alcohol, however I do ocassionly take a sip of beer when I'm up at my dad's, however I do mean a sip, not a can, a sip.

I only know one Norwegian and she's sooooo generous when she buys a round. I even have to remind her that it's 'my turn' ... I've never managed to get her as drunk as I would like.

Actually we are quite good friends these days ... You never know where a good friend comes from.

Yes, and way too often

I exported my Irish drinking habits to California where everyone is amazed by how much I drink on a friday night, or the fact that I might have a cheeky beer at lunch. I fit in well when I was living in Norway cos those guys are crazy for booze -- especially when I brought in some cheap stuff from the UK for them. Those guys would drink through to sunrise if they could afford it

I guess it's all a matter of culture. The way I drink is considered quite normal in Belfast or in Norway, but in CA it is frowned on.

I do enjoy the occasional drink. My fav beer is Heineken (Dutch) and I recently tried a Hoegaarden (Belgian) - very interesting beer but not in a bad way. As for the harder stuff: Rum and Coke, Baileys, Kahlua (yum yum) and I recently mixed Rum and Root Beer (lack of Coke at the time). It tastes like a purple popsicle.
