I dislike most alcohol in general, mostly since the american way of drinking seems to be buy as much as you can of the cheapest stuff and get drunk, puke, and call it a great weekend... :/ I dislike that mindset, and believe it is the main reason the drinking age is 21 over here. The thing that acttracts me to absinthe is that it has both stimulants and relaxants, causing you to feel the effect of the alcohol, but still have a prettymuch clear mind, I take that to mean that your hand is still shaking, but you realise it is, and can watch it shaking or something, anyways, it\'s supposedly a traditional artists drink becasue of that.
I think it would be great if teens here in america realised drinking isn\'t about getting drunk, especially when they are like 16 and don\'t have any real problems to drown. I consider drinking to be more of about appreciating the alcohol, the flavor, etc... drunkeness is a side product of appreciating too much in too short a time, it should not be the point of your drinks, nor do I think it should be strived for. Many people do think getting drunk is quite odd when you put it in terms along the lines of \"getting yourself stupid on purpose.\" I am very anti-stupidity, so that is a big thing for me.
More to come later? And this topic is about tea...
