What's your poison?

[sstuckey]

I find it interesting case study that non-drinkers feel compelled to reply on a light thread about preference of alcoholic beverage.

Actually the thread was entitled "What's your poison?" and I posted mine. I didn't however realize it HAD to be alcohol!! My bad.

I did however find inclined to stand up for songsmith, when a simple reply about drinking 6 beers every couple years, turned into him being some alcohol bashing, social outcast, with a holier than thou mentality....when clearly the only one passing judgement was yourself. I know the dude can handle his own when it comes to debates, as we have gone toe to toe on a couple of topics, (by the way I still think I won that battle over online gambling but we don't need to go there)

But also personally took some offense to what you wrote based on an related episode I had to deal with recently. And if nothing more than getting it off my chest, it's cool to know there is some people out there that are like me and don't have to be drunk to have fun. I'm not weird, i'm not a social outcast, and I'm not as much of a minority as I thought. And even though your pathetic article says I won't be blowing out 100 candles, because I don't have my daily glass of wine, I'm okay with that.

"What's your poison" is a well known euphemism referring to alcoholic beverage.

You YET AGAIN missed the point!!!!! My god .... some people you have to tap lightly on the shoulder ..... some you have to hit them upside the pumpkin with a fuckin' sledge hammer!!!! Apologize to the guy!! Jeesh!

Apologize to whom? And for what?

Would someone please hand me a sledge hammer?

why are you on a thread for drinkers?

For the record "what's your poison" isn't solely a euphemism for alcohol. And those that truly know me know exactly what my 'poison' is. So I had every right to respond.

Well, if you want to nitpick...the thread title is: What's Your Poison?

The Cambridge dictionary listing is for "Name Your Poison" not "What's Your Poison?"
It is also listed as British english, which is a foreign language .

The Urban Dictionary listing is correct for the title: What's your poison?

For the record, I never said, or even hinted, that I'm a non-drinker. I had a beer on New Year's Day. A darker craft beer from Elk Creek Cafe. The owner told me I was the best beer salesman he ever had, because we mention their product often. (I thought selling their product was our job, I ALWAYS mention what we're there to sell!)
To be honest, I thought the fact that I seldom drink meant that I'm a very discerning, picky drinker, not a non-drinker.
I was also raised around an uncle whose alcohol problem broke a lot of hearts, and while I drank a fair amount in my teens and early twenties, I never got the fun out of it that other people seemed to.
To top it all off, I got a DUI several years ago, and it cost me a LOT of money and got my name in the paper, so I'm not really in a position to preach. I'd have been under the limit if I hadn't accepted that last drink from a friend, then went straight to the car for the drive home.
Ya lives, ya learns. Enjoy what you want, but be safe.

jetcity, you really have to let us know upfront what you expect from us as participants in the thread. Perhaps a better thread title would be, "What do YOU get drunk on?"
I'd have stayed out of that one, because it doesn't relate to me.
You also have to understand that we're mostly musicians. we don't go to bars we're playing, with the intent to get trashed. We can't, or at least shouldn't. There's nothing worse than a drunk with a microphone. In fact, we have a name for that: karaoke.
(Disclaimer: little playful dig there for Jasaoke, who is actually serious and thoughtful about his music.)

the header is "What's your poison".

the OP's first post is "Mine is Jack & Coke. Black Label only. Stiff, splash of coke, on rocks."


do you require a translator or what?

No you need to be much more clear about what you expect of us as participants to 'YOUR' thread. Follow this link and you'll find the interpretation of your thread title can mean an assortment of things. From chocolate and music....to drugs and alcohol. And everything in between. So fuck off...I responded accordingly!! If my response didn't satisfy you...guess what?! I couldn't give a rat's ass!!

You win. You were looking for someone to validate your tendency to over-imbibe, not ask what drinks we like.
I completely misunderstood.
I owe you a Jack & Coke.

[jetcitywoman]

amazing you guys won't give it even when proven wrong.

and i'm probably going to be the one banned for it.
