I’m sorry your mother dropped you on your head when you were a baby.
From here:
So, you don’t care if someone drives drunk then as they are unlikely to run you over? Okay, I understand your attitude. Fuck everyone else on the road as it is just eliminating those who are polluting the planet.
I wouldn’t know if I’d like alcoholic drinks as I’ve deliberately never tried drinking them. The ones that I have accidentally had served me seemed to have ruined perfectly good fruit juice. And the smell of alcoholic drinks is vile, so I don’t know why I’d want to taste it.
They shouldn’t take a chance and drive if there is a chance that it could affect how they drive. They certainly shouldn’t be combining it with alcohol. What is so hard to understand about giving a rats ass about the other people who are on the road with you? And are you comparing someone who needs to take a drug for their health with someone who wants to take a drug because they enjoy it?
Are you are saying that the OP has some need of driving when he isn’t drinking that makes him different than when I do it then I don’t understand what your point is. All things being equal, drinking increases the risk of driving.
Never heard of the later and may have heard of the former, but it might have been on a trip to the middle east or the states.
Not that it matters, but no.
No problem, my man.
But I promise: I was only attempting humor with the post in question. “Attempting” most likely being the operative word.
If I had mentioned size in my post, you might have a point. Unfortunately, I didn’t.
I will also guarantee that said bottle was 12oz. They don’t sell 40s (or 22s) in fast-food taco joints.
Uzi is kind of reminding me of those people who voluntarily choose not to engage in an activity themselves, yet still feel the need to chastise others for engaging in that same activity due to some misplaced jealousy.
I can’t drink more than two drinks at any given time due to stomach issues. I catch myself being really snarky and judgmental towards people that go out to bars or parties and get wasted, even if it’s only once in awhile. Difference is, I’m mature enough to realize that my judgment is coming from a place of jealousy. I wish I could go out to a bar and tie one on every now and again and not always have to be the babysitter due to my stupid stomach.
I could be mistaken, but I remember some thread I think Uzi started about how lame drinking is and how stupid everyone who drinks is. I believe he mentioned that he hates the taste of alcohol, so he doesn’t drink. I think the absolutest view he’s employing in this thread is a product of his own jealousy towards those who can enjoy even just one drink like the majority of American adults. There’s really no other explanation for his complete refusal to listen to any sort of logical counter argument. Because he can’t do it, no one else should be able to: period.
Just my armchair analysis.
Not that it matters to Uzi, but yes, it was a 12oz bottle.
The thread in questions wasn’t mine and the reason I got involved was because of the participants making jokes about not going to parties where there wasn’t drinking involved because of the ‘issues’ being around those who don’t drink. Apparently, I have a palette of an 8 year old, which is rather better than acting like one, imho.
Oddly enough, this past weekend I was out with a large number of friends, most of whom drink. We had a party for a friend’s 50th birthday. Her husband rented a bus and driver, so there was no issues with who had to drive who. Everyone had a good time on a pub crawl. I did end up spending time talking to the bus driver at the end of the night, not because of the drinking, but because the last bar we ended up at was a meat market country bar filled with posers and people half my age, not because people were drinking.
My issue isn’t with drinking. It is how those who over indulge affect others. If those who drank only beat themselves up (rather than helpless women like my mother as the example I provided in the link you referred to) and drove their cars into each other then I’d have no issue with it at all. Zero. Nadda. Got it? I have no problem being around people who drink responsibly. Zero, Nadda. Got it? Those who drink too much? I don’t hang around with, nor do I make allowances for them eg. pick them up off the floor if they are drowning in their own vomit. Well, that is a rather absolute statement. Let’s just say unless I really, really am feeling in a kind mood, and they are a close friend.
Frankly, I don’t know why I have to go past saying that a good percentage of traffic deaths could be avoided if people took driving more seriously and didn’t take chance by drinking beforehand.
You do realize how this is in stark contrast with the posts you have made in this thread that people are taking issue with, right? Your position thus far in this thread has been that no one should get in a car even after one beer. That is not drinking to excess. That is what people are arguing with you about. If that’s not your position, maybe you need to clarify.
Yes you do. This thread is full of people like that, and you have a problem with every single one of them.
Hey, if you grew up with an alcoholic father who beat your mother, I feel sorry for you. I can’t imagine how horrible that must have been. But not everyone is your father. Stop projecting.
One beer with lunch is not being irresponsible. I think you realize that now due to your wild assumptions about big gulp sized beers. An attempt to back pedal that just didn’t work.
Face it. You’re wrong. You should just own up to it.
Of course I care if people drive drunk. What your microcephalitic brain apparently cannot comprehend is that
HAVING ONE BEER WITH A MEAL DOES NOT GET YOU DRUNK
.
Either you need to stop hanging around people whose idea of a good wine is something in a jug or a box, or my point about a child’s palate stands.
There’s a chance anything could affect how you drive. You’re clearly a fucking idiot–I’d say that ensures you’re going to be a terrible driver. Hand over your keys before you kill someone with your stupidity!
Didn’t think so.
(Wo)man.
Yeah, I would have gotten that, if I hadn’t somehow thought you were the one who made that fucking douchenozzle post in the other thread.
I’m going to have to inform my coworker that if his eight-year-old triplets aren’t having beers with lunch yet, they need to start, according to some random Internet idiot.
Yes, you do. Having **ONE **beer **WITH A MEAL **is *absolutely *drinking responsibly, unless you weigh about seventy pounds and are having a half-head of iceburg lettuce. You’re projecting your own sordid personal history with alcohol onto everyone else.
Fat fucking chance.
Not that long ago I had a single (awesome) margarita with a good Mexican meal immediately before getting on the highway and driving 100 miles. I’m not a heavy drinker; any tolerance I have is purely through mass. I can tell you I drove more responsibly than 90% of those idiots on the road that night. One drink ain’t shit.
Murderer! Rapist! Communist! Racist! Go turn yourself in; you disgust me.
I’ll bet it was a fishbowl size, right? Alky.
Big Gulp. I’ve seen them at 7-Eleven.
Did you know they sell that stuff in jugs too? I like to pick one up on the way to work.
No doubt whilst driving your Corvair. With bald tires, no less!
Margharitas? Or Slurpees?
I’m writhing in brain freeze agony just thinking about the latter.
Margaritas. But a margarita slurpee would be awesome.
You can freeze them, you know. Just be sure to stir it once in a while.
