Whats the big deal about getting "Drunk"?

[Collective]

Drinking is a stupid thing to do in my opinion.

 

 

 

Assuming you actually have a vaguely logical reason for this opinion, can you explain it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I honestly don't have a clue why you could think alcohol is such a bad thing, beyond some religious beliefs.

Yeah and we all know Jesus was accustomed to the odd glass of wine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's Methodists that don't drink, isn't it?

According to The Methodist Church of Great Britain they recommend total abstinence from alcohol but followers are allowed to drink responsibly. Baptists are expected to abstain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Judaism infact has a holiday called Purim where participants are, as I understand it, encouraged to drink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hinduism frowns on the drinking of alcohol while Buddhism/Islam/Sikhism forbid it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the above was my understanding of various religious websites.

when your young and you drink you think your cool because its against the law, even though (in the uk) its legal to drink at 6 but it has to be in private. Thats why when your 18 or w/e its a usuall thing.

 

 

 

And yeh people where asking me "OMGOMGOMG DID you get drunk at new years? OMG i was soooooooooo pissed lol me and my mates where walking down the road at like 2 am.

Ahaha, seriously, if I had a dime for everytime someone said to me on New Year's Day, "Oh man, I have the BIGGEST hangover, last night was crazy"... I could buy a sandwich or something.

And what blows MY mind is that his first miracle (if you believe it) was providing more wine out of water for a bunch of smashed wedding goers.

And not only that, it was far better than any of the other wine that had been served. =P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't drink, and I have my own reasons for it. One, I tend to regularly make a fool of myself and laugh at myself alot, so I need no alchoholic assistance. =P Two, I have an alchoholic-type personality. When I find something I really like, I can't get enough of it, whether it be a person, food, TV show, or good music. I refuse to even try alchohol, because I know that if I really liked it I could easily become addicted. Also, I drink very healthy, mostly water and fruit juice. I really don't drink anything stronger than lemonade. As a runner, Coke throws me off, so I'm pretty sure alchohol would affect me at least as much as Coke, if not more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That said, I have no problem with people who drink. However, I do have a problem with people who are underage drinking, as it's against the law, and I have little respect for drunkards or people who drink to be "cool."

Although I do recognize that Jesus was never against drinking alcohol (nor am I) I would like to point out for anyone that cares that the wine during His time was not nearly as strong as it is today and it took absolutely ridiculous amounts to get drunk on. So maybe not...completely smashed. :P

[MyPurpleCrayon]

 

 

 

 

Therefore if you drink, then you lower a level 'in my book'. The same goes for lots of things, such as smoking, cursing, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*hate to bring religion into things, but sadly i have to* im guessing your one of those "omg it says not to do that in the bible !!!!one111!!" and that is why you say this... bluntly.. someone lied to you if you do think this... NOWHERE in the bible... does it say you cant do any of these things, dont bring the "harm your body" thing into this...this is not what it meant... piercings, tobacco canibis (both where smoked in peace pipes back then) and alchohol where never against the bible

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you have this opinion just because you think theyre bad

 

 

 

A) what makes them bad?

 

 

 

B) the pope drinks...lol

 

 

 

C) that is something VERY ignorant to say... i can understand if you said "i dont like people who get drunk/stoned/ or every other word is a curse word"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously you have your reasons for disliking people too. One of these reasons is arrogance, as I can tell from your above post. That's fine with me, and I accept that you do not like me, or my arrogance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yea.... HE is arrogant :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First off, I would like to say thank you to everyone for putting words into my mouth about religion. This has absoloutly NOTHING to do with my religion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The thing is, you don't understand what I am saying Despaxes. You are horrible at quoting people, and your topic starts with, "im guessing that your". This is a wrong statement about me, and it is a 'guess'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C'mon.... your ENTIRE post is based on assumption towards me and my religion, so what do you want me to say besides "you're wrong"?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*LOL TEH POPE DRINKS!*

 

 

 

Do you honestly expect me to take you seriously after you write something like this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And since you know so much about the Bible, and how "it never says cant do this", let me tell you some things you don't know. It might not say word-for-word that you can't do these things, but the Bible sure does look down on alcoholics. I do know about my religion, and I have read the Bible thoroughly, thank you for insulting my intelligence though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 Corinthians 6:1 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I meant people that consume it often just to get drunk, and to have fun. ( I though you guys could figure this one out for yourselfs, obviously not) I think it is a moronic thing to do, and if you do something moronic, you become a moron. (Not in a bad way, just a dumb way)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even people that just drink a little, I still look down on them more than people that do not, as with other things. But I don't think that they are bad people for doing so. This applies for people that are under the age mainly

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but what I'm saying shouldn't.

Meh, it was at the end of the party, and they said that usually the host served the cheap wine at the end because nobody would notice the difference, now why do you suppose they wouldn't notice the difference :P

[Howie101]

its pretty much about the feeling when you are drunk...not saying anything here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

its the attitude people feel, its the events that occur

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

people look at it different ways

Haha, the taste of course. Seriously though, the alcohol content in wine during that time was much less than today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That isn't to say that people in those times weren't getting drunk...afterall...the Bible has several refrence to people being drunk. :P

I certainly didn't put words in your mouth, and I'm pretty sure "everyone" else didn't either.

Two days earlier, you posted this: "Therefore if you drink, then you lower a level 'in my book'."

 

 

 

Infact, you posted this AFTER being asked to clarify your position. This clearly implies that you apply this rule to anyone who drinks, not just the mildly more restricted group you named today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So it appears that actually everyone else, including myself, has indeed made a mistake. We all assumed that you had the ability to say what you actually meant, and everyone proceeded on that basis. Obviously, we were all wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even people that just drink a little, I still look down on them more than people that do not, as with other things. But I don't think that they are bad people for doing so. This applies for people that are under the age mainly

 

 

 

What I find almost as sad as your apparant inability to say what you think, is the fact that you seem completely devoid of the ability to explain why you think it. It certainly isn't for the lack of being asked (hint, hint).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but what I'm saying shouldn't.

 

 

 

Nah, calling people morons shouldn't offend people at all. Seriously, you have met people before, right?

it's funny watching them do stupid stuff

gettin drunk there aint not point. I like drinking . But i drink to enjoy it and with mate. There aint no point and it bugs me to when ppl say that.

[konnan4444]

i drink on special occasions but only like 4 bottles of bacardi im not aloowed anymore than that...it doesn't do much to me...just makes me buzzed. alot of my friends get so they are out of their heads and don't know what they are doing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK there buddy, four bottles for Bacadi, at 37.5% alcohol would kill you.

ok thank you, because mpc cant speak for himself? isnt that why he got upset recently pepole putting words in his mouth? yea....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and im sorry mpc but you didnt give any oter explanation and STILL havent... and maybe your not quite sure what drunkard referred to back then, but it wasnt someone who gets drunk once in a while....its what we would call alchoholics, people who use it so often their bodies need it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*you dont seem to know about the bible obviousely... please do not quote the bible, when clearly you havent read it*(ok if im wrong i apologize, but seriousely your not coming off as if you know alot about it)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and please i repeat, if it isnt religious the why? besides "if you do something moronic it makes you a moron"
