Meg's World - Blog Photography - The product of my passionI do it for the buzz, the effect, not the taste. Very few drinks actually really taste very nice, a coca cola or straight orange juice will beat them anyday. A lot of people drink to be seen drinking, it's cool to have a martini in your hand and not a fanta pineapple. It's cultured to drink red wine, soda pop is for kids. When I go out for a meal, I have coke or lemonade. I don't order up a bottle of wine. I don't understand paying twice as much if all you want is to quench your thirst. So when I do drink, it's to get a buzz or to wake up the next morning wondering who put a dead hedgehog in my mouth. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.

What kind of drinking environment do you prefer? Local bar? Sports bar? At home? Jumping through a bonfire? Me? I'm a pretty easy person to please so I'll hang out just about anywhere but I prefer a sports bar on game days and a college bar the rest of the time because almost everybody there lives a fairly similar lifestyle to my own and drinks are usually cheaper. Bar and grill type places are pretty cool too but are a little too family oriented for a hangout. I like going to dance clubs too but they wear me out quickly (too much excitement).

Brad Jennings wrote: What kind of drinking environment do you prefer? I like the small neighborhood bar that has a couple of pool tables and a good crowd of regulars. I quit doing the club thing - too noisy and too many zippy, yappy 20-somethings. I also like small get-togethers. A few friends drinking beer, playing cards and talking.

I prefer to do my drinking in a jacuzzi, surrounded by young, pliant females. But then I wake up, and have to settle for drinking in a neighborhood pub, with a grill, where I know everyone and like the selections on the jukebox. "Your village called -

Ah, at least a flattering reputation! :rolleyes: Nonetheless, I believe we act the same world wide, don't we? ---- It reminds me an interview of Robert Mitchum. A journalist asked him what was the first thing he was doing in the morning. Robert Mitchum answered: "I get dressed, then I go back home".
