Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 I'm going to read this later, thanks . Forbes magazine had an article way back that people who continue to get drunk on the weekends after college are more successful in career, etc. They theorized that alcohol kills the weakest brain cells first, therefore eliminating the weak links in the chain, the slow buffaloes in the pack, etc. lol!

Maybe it is just me, but wine seems very much a part of a lifestyle, and any woman I have ever dated who doesn't drink the stuff just never seemed to work out. It would be like me marrying a confirmed junk food junkie. NOT!! It Really Was The People's Car http://tinyurl.com/mwbv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, see, there are some of us who've already drunk our lifetime ration, and probably part of yours.

NOT!! ---->oh michael, that is just blatantly anti-multicultural of you. junkfood junkies are just a " different " culture - no better or worse than us well-nourished NT folk. to eliminate them from the matrimonial pool solely based on their food preference is extremely NT-centric of you, and just plain discriminatory. tsk...tsk...hmmmmm....i propose a taxpayer-funded gov't program to " fix " this mindset. nothing a slew of well paid psychologists, social scientists, several layers of administrators, and a little legislation can't fix. nope. that should do it. or, better yet, i propose a new department on college campuses across the country that will be a strictly academic, baggage-less focus on teetotaling junkfood junkies and their struggle for equal matrimonial opportunities with well nourished NT single drinkers. that should cover all bases.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 >I don't know how teetotallers and those who enjoy the fruit of the vine mesh. Not well, in my experience. My Mom was the wine drinker, my Dad was not, and it was a BIG issue. Kind of like marrying a smoker! Don't do it unless you smoke! Of course you ALSO don't want to marry someone who gets flat out drunk every night either.

Suze, How could I be so culturally insensitive? What was I thinking?!!!! I apologize to every confirmed junk food eater on this list. As a way to make amends I will eat a box of hostess yo yo's and drink a cherry slurpee every night for dessert this week. I can't believe I was so crass and insensitive.

I can't imagine pulling out a beautiful perfectly aged 10 year bottle of wine and not being able to share its delights with my significant other. Its a lifestyle that is for sure. > >Of course you ALSO don't want to marry someone who gets flat out drunk >every night either.

He's ten years younger chronologically but he's only a little younger in " AA years " than I am. I miss being able to drink, mostly from a flavor perspective, and I'm lucky in that I can cook with wine and have it in the house without difficulty. I can also drink NA beer (but don't very often) to get my " hops fix. " I miss sweet vermouth over crushed ice, sherry or port and cheese after dinner, hot sake at sushi bars, and gin and tonics on airplanes (the only way I can fly). But I don't miss them enough to go back to drinking.

All that sounds wonderful, although I am not a big vermouth fan or a gin and tonic fan. But I don't miss them enough to go back to >drinking. Out of curiosity, do you view alcoholism as a disease?

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 > Okay so you are proving our point, LOL!! Oh, absolutely. Survey any ten women in AA and eight of them will have divorced since sobriety. Not true as much with the guys. > Out of curiosity, do you view alcoholism as a disease? Considering how it runs in families, yes, I do. I don't know if it's metabolic but I suspect it is, having to do with the processing of sugars. With me, and in my relatives with drinking problems, I think it's also an attempt to self-medicate chronic depression.
