Alas, I'm this stupid sober. I drink tea, coffee, or soda when on the site.
I drink lots of tea too πŸ˜€
Only because it's much easier to make than putting on a pot of coffee. πŸ˜‰

OMG exactly! πŸ˜³πŸ™„ (Thank goodness for microwaves! Cup, water, teabag, sweetener, and pop them in for two minutes! Good to go!)

That's why you keep those flavored International Coffees around. A spoon of instant and a spoon (if it's the first cup of the day) or a dab (if you're conscious) of flavored coffee and it's decent.

When I'm drinking I'll play free poker on one of the famous poker sites.

Watched "Clean and Sober", but also saw "Floating Away" which was a much better movie about alcoholics. 😡

Not everyone who drinks is an alcoholic ya-know. But if you wake up and want alcohol instead of coffee then I suspect you might have a problem. πŸ˜•

For serious drinkers at home follow this simple rule: Have a bottle of spring water on hand and when you drink a heavy mixed drink with alcohol, for every swallow of booze (count them) take the same amount of swallows of water.

Hangove ...[text shortened]... er as well. It'll keep you from having a hangover and maybe even looking old before your time.
I've done this for years (only I just have a glass of water between drinks, it's nice to "cleanse the palate"... hehe). The wisdom of this was passed on to me in college at a frat party, lol... been doing it ever since, and on the rare times I don't, I surely pay for it in the morning...

Sometimes, I'll try not to move when I have been drinking, though. When I posted loads the other night, it was the product of drinking. I wouldn't say arguing, but I do tend to, ahem, debate more when drinking.

So do I YOU FRICKING.....ERRM... Kidding! Yes I tend to open my gob a bit too under the affluence! But generally just stupid witty remarks (which I think are funny but nobody else does, strange that?..giggles). I don't get aggressive though. Who gets aggressive under the influence? Anybody here?

Yes, I know. Scandalous. I nearly feel guilty every time, too.

Urgh! Are you being serious??? You can't make tea in the microwave - thats almost worst than blaspheming. Now, I may enforce cultural stereotypes here, but there really is only one way to make good tea - and that is in a pot.

I've thrown 87 rating points down the bog in the past couple of days on account of playing while pickled; it's been an object lesson in not doing so. I bet teetotallers and abstemious types make a veritable killing on the ratings over the festive period. 😳

It's probably all down to speech inflection and body language, after all, 7% of the way you come across is supposed to be the words itself - the rest is sound and movement. Which is why a discussion on a forum can get to the point where everybody's like "no, no, I meant this..." Whereas in real life that wouldn't happen!
