Aspergers and drinking?

Post Reply New Topic

What I do drink, I drink as an accompaniment to my supper. It's been a very long time since I drank beer just to drink beer.

I love drinking beer, I love trying new beers especially craft, local, and microbreweries. Even home made beer. I also like whisky, gin and rum but not mixed, just cause I like their taste. I don't like getting blind drunk though.

That is my favorite beer! I love it!

When I drink, it is usually specifically to get drunk. I usually drink because I've had a really bad day. Also, I'll intentionally get wasted right before bed if I know that I'm going to have a hard time sleeping that night because of a stressful day. Yeah, yeah yeah...I know.

mmmmm... beer *drools*

I like to have some drinks on weekends for the most part. I enjoy the socializing in some of the local meetups I have been to and I find one beer relaxes me a little. I do enjoy beer the most. A lady friend of mine seems to enjoy martinis the most. Other alcoholic drinks I will consume include tequilla, scotch and liquid cocaines (jager and goldschlager mix)

Usually, I get drunk so I can be more social around people. It makes me the way I wish I could be naturally.
I also like the taste. I usually drink Guinness or Twisted Tea. One that I've recently found is Angry Orchard apple ginger cider. It's really good!

im not a beer drinker but I love just about anything that is 80+proof

Alright I don't feel as bad now, I just really enjoy the taste of beer and trying different kinds. I rarely ever have "too much" and too much for me is 5. But my personal limit is 3. I have never tried hard liquor.

I love angry orchard cider! It's so good. I need to try Guinness, I usually drink Sam Adams or new belgium fat tire. What does guiness taste like?

Its good to see someone of your age recognizing what the drinking culture is really like. 13-17 year old's getting the taste for alcohol and smoking is a common thing unfortunately with the false glamorization of both. I've had my own experiences with alcohol, and what I can say for certain is that it is not worth it, especially in large quantities. The idea that its magical medicine that makes you more social is false. It simply slows down your brain to the point were all your inhibitions are lowered, which believe me is not a good thing. If people can control their alcohol intake and don't feel dependent on it then it doesn't bother me.

I never drink. It's primarily because of taste reasons; am I grateful for that.

It can help, but you pay a heavy price for it the next day.

Return on Investment usually isn't worth it.

I can only speak for myself when I say that I've never been drunk in my life. Of course, that also means that I have no data by which to infer how I would be likely to handle alcohol.

Beer is OK, but I don't like it enough to drink it without the intent of getting drunk. But when I want to get drunk I usually go for vodka, since it's cheap, quick, and seems to result in a lesser hangover.

It doesn't make me more social though. Instead of silently sitting in the corner, I end up staggering around blabbering everything I think. Still no real conversation with particular people. But I do usually say things I'll regret the next day.

I probably wouldn't use it if other drugs were more readily available.

The cravings sound worrisome. I haven't experienced anything like that with alcohol (or other drugs).

I like drinking, it helps me relieve stress. The aftermath is not always pretty though

The majority of NT men who I know like drinking beer and have too much when they go out.

Next doing pee will be a common ASD thing.

i also find that drinking a beer or two makes it a lot easier for me to socialise, it both lowers my walls and my sensory sensitivity, so i am less bothered by the music and other conversations, and better able to join into said conversations.
it might sound like an addiction, perhaps it is, but i am very well able to keep myself in hand so i dont go overboard with the amounts, and i can go days without any alcohol if i want to, but i wont be as social.
if i would join a group of friends, i am perfectly able to be the designated driver, for example, but i would be a bore on the party, as all i would do is getting away from the noise...
