I personally have always loved the smell of beer, but have never liked the taste of the stuff. I suppose it could be because i've only ever drunk it a few times. Do you think people's taste buds change as they enter adulthood? Simon Hey, it looks like you're writing a letter! Sonork ID 100.10024

Henry Jacobs wrote: How can this be when the Bible refers for alcohol frequently.

I don't like beer so much, find it doesn't taste so good... However, mixed drinks are good, as well as Smirnoff Ice... have any of you tried it?? Quite yummy. It's Vodka and lemonade, or another fruit. Made some at home before too. Although, it doesn't take much for me to feel tipsy! Even though my uncle made me taste whiskey when I was like... 13! You would think that my tolerance would increase over the years... Maybe a couple more years, since I'm only 21.... But I blame my low tolerance on my small frame and Asian blood (I turn red pretty fast :)) Melissa

Hee hee hee... actually I know a couple of my girl friends that absolutely LOVE beer and it's taste :P This one girl drinks 3 or 4 before going to class!!! It's like water for her...!

For sure though, I agree, we mixed our own at home once and it was great :) Paul Watson wrote: Whenever someone complains that they get drunk to easily I remind them that it is a good thing. Why?

Roger Allen wrote: don't drink alcohol Man that bites... :-D What is peoples opinion on alcohol here? I noticed quite a few have said they don't drink, why not? Being a South African (and the Kiwis and Aussies can agree with me on this) I tend to probably drink more than Northern hemisphere people. I don't over do it (except on the odd occasion where celebrations call for excessive alcohol and embarrasing photos) but I won't refuse a beer or a good wine or spirit. I realise some people have some very valid and strong reasons not to drink at all (so please don't post a reply telling me that alcohol is the work of the devil etc. I already know that), but I am more interested in the "average" folk who don't drink for whatever reason. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

I don't drink because I am a Christian ( yes, I know you didn't want anyone to say that ), but another person at work doesn't drink at all either, because he doesn't like to feel that he is losing control of himself. Watching some of the guys who DO drink at various functions, I can see that. What I found funny was the time the person most likely to be mortally offended if I were to present my religious views in general to him, following us around in a drunken stupour insisting to both of us that we should get drunk. I'm not sure why it is I should feel the need to keep my views to myself, but it's OK for him to pressure us to kill brain cells.

We have high cholesterol in the family, so good eating, lots of exercise and stress relief can only take you so far. If my doctor says that a glass of whatever cures the soul is good for me, then who am I to argue? :P cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
I know where you're coming from there Chris. My dad had a heart attack in his 40s and a failed bypass a few years later - when they opened him up they found a deformed artery they couldn't do anything about. :( I've no idea if it's an inherited trait - I try not to think about it. On top of that, diabetes and weight gain are common in my family too...so I'm pretty careful these days (I've lost about 35lbs since April, and I'm pretty careful what and how much I eat). Having said that, a few bottles here and there are just the ticket. :) Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd
