Do You Approve of Getting Drunk?

Hot on the heels of my 21st birthday and St. Patrick's Day 2009 comes the re-issue of one of the greatest threads in the history of the Zelda Universe. Do you, poster on the Zelda Universe, approve of getting drunk?

I could care less if someone gets drunk, that's their choice. But I absolutely despise drunk drivers. I know too many people who got hurt or killed by them. I wish punishment for drunk driving in Wisconsin was more severe. I once met a guy that had his 11th OWI and told me he was still going to drive drunk, he didn't care. It's sad that usually the drunkard is the one that survives.

I approve of getting an occasional buzz, not getting hammered.

People make stupid decisions when they're drunk. But people make stupid decisions when they're sober, too.

So, I would say that if you're not breaking any laws, what you do is up to you. You should still be held responsible for your actions, of course. And getting drunk too often is probably not good for your body.

*shrug*

I dunno. I didn't add a third choice to the poll, but I would probably have chosen neither.

Heck yes I do.

I think it's alright to get drunk for things such as St. Patrick's Day, or New Years, or events like that. I do NOT approve, however, of getting drunk almost every week. Like Jehanne said, getting drunk too often doesn't do your body any good.

As long as it's done in moderation and not to a point where it's excessive and causes you to do stupid things, then...yeah.

I love getting trashed most weekends, so yeh, I approve. So long as those who are drunk don't turn in to total idiots who can't handle their liquor...

Yes i do.

I drink pretty often, haven't encountered any troubles at all yet :3
I hate people that are dumb enough to drive drunk tho, that's just idiotic.

If you're home alone or with a few friends at a familiar house, I don't see the problem.

If you're out in public, have to drive yourself (or another), or have some other responsibility to take care of a friend/family member/child/loved one etc, I don't approve.

There's a time and place for it, basically.

How do you feel about getting drunk almost every other weekend?

I said yes, but i only recently started drinking and have never gotten drunk before. I dont think id like watching someone getting drunk if i wasnt drinking myself. i saw one of my friends getting wasted at a christmas party this year and she was having trouble walking and she smashed her face on a chair. it just made me feel really uncomfortable. i think if you want to get drunk you should be with some VERY trustworthy friends.

Ah yes, happy belated-day, DrZaius.
For this time I think you can allow yourself to be a little drunk, but that's because you know what you're doing.
Don't drink more than that other than events, otherwise it doesn't make it special.

My roommate's like that. She's fun to watch though. On occasion, that is.

As long as its not over done, or you don't go online and post on a forum while doing it, I'm cool with being drunk as a skunk.

Don't really care just don't bug me unless i'm drunk too.
because I don't like drunk people.
On ocassion though, they provide excellent entertainment.

You know, getting drunk isn't really necessary. For example I'm enjoying a box of cholates with a hefeweizen right now.





Why would you want to get drunk?
O.o
Don't you feel bad afterward?

I think people make stupider decisions when they get drunk and I also think people who wouldn't normally drive drunk will consider the idea while drunk. So no, I do not agree with being drunk. Besides, it kills too many brain cells. How can you solve puzzles in Zelda afterwards?

i dont really care about getting drunk myself. i used to be SUPER AGRESSIVELY AGAINST it, but im a little more laid back and passive about it now. i dont really see a point to getting drunk but its nice to have a buzz once in a while. As long as you're in control and it doesnt become a problem. as in it would be very bad if you got a craving for it and you 'needed' it. when it becomes an addiction. but that has more to do with just alcohol itself rather than feelings about getting drunk.

I don't approve of hard drugs, so no.
