I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

I don't think there's anything wrong with drinking (except when it's blatantly harmful), just that I almost never see any real reason to do so. And I'm aware that there are plenty of mixed drinks that don't taste like a kick in the head, but the thing is, in almost all those cases I don't really think that the addition of alcohol improves the thing. Take a Screwdriver for instance. I don't see why I should drink that rather than just drinking regular orange juice. Just about any mixed drink I can think of, I'd probably prefer the non-alcoholic form. Which is cheaper and won't make me drunk.

but I'm not exactly pleased by the implication that there is something wrong with it

well there objectively is if you do it too much.

If you do it too much, yes, but he was kinda making it sound like it was stupid/wrong to do it at all.

Drinking in moderation is fine, but obviously doing it too much or too often is bad for you... in more ways than one.

I still don't see why you can't just drink something non alcoholic just as easily.

Yeah, I only ever drink when I like the taste of whatever it is I'm drinking. And never more than one at a time.

Anyway, have we decided against making a special account to post the robin on?

Rin- my dad got leukemia from drinking and smoking. I'm with you on this one.

Story- I can make a new account too. We would just have to agree on a name for it. And I think Meta is gone til Thursday or Friday so we can't really debate that without him.

Oh hey, alcohol. Excellent conversation to start the day.

@Story: Because you're getting something out of the alcoholic drinks that you don't get out of other drinks. Drunk. It's really easy to disparage drunk people, but it can be fun in the right context. Yes it can very easily be taken too far, and yes it makes you into kind of an idiot, but come on, its Saturday night, I'm just going to hang out with friends talking about bullshit anyway, I don't exactly need my brain firing on all cylinders.

@Irish: I don't think we ever decided. I don't think we should go ahead with anything until we come to something regarding a consensus on it. Personally I'd be fine either way. There are pros and cons for both. Having a dedicated account means that several people could share the responsibility of managing the account rather than relying on one person to do it, with the plus of creating a goofy persona to serve as the "author". The flipside is that it could be confusing to have multiple people managing it, and there's a greater risk of misuse if several people have access to the login/email info.

Personally, I'd lean towards making a dedicated account, and then picking a few people to manage the emails/account. Creating an email to associate with it wouldn't be much of a problem, as long as we can trust people not to go muddling with the login info.

[up]Thing is, I hardly need alcohol to get me to act like an idiot with my friends. That's pretty much our default state.

I just had another possible idea for the story description.

Alcohol is extremely pleasant in the right circumstances. Like a bottle of cider on a hot day, or cocktails with a friend so you can feel like a pair of classy fucks or ginger beer in any situation ever.

Anyway, has anyone ever shipped Octavia with Celestia before this thread?tongue I think I saw an Octavia/Luna fic once.

This is jsut something I can't identify with.

Not as far as I can tell. But there was a Vinyl/Spike fic.

Considering my past endeavours with Alcohol, I really don't wanna talk too much about the subject.

If there's another Round Robin fanfic, I would probably like to do a chapter of it next time.

On the subject of drinking alcohol, I've never been interested in drinking it, ever. Mainly because I don't want to get drunk and there are other drinks that I prefer. Then again, I probably don't have as much pressure on me to drink alcohol because I'm not part of a social group that regularly drinks it or encourages drinking it.

I did learn something about cultural differences in alcohol from this thread. Before, I didn't know that "cider" was considered to always be the alcoholic kind in the UK, because as an American, I would have thought of "cider" as the non-alcoholic kind and "hard cider" as the kind with alcohol. I learned this when the Super Cider Squeezy episode first came out and read the reactions of the UK bronies to the episode and the focus on cider (which was, admittedly, drawn to look more beer-like because of it being foamy).

Hard cider is actually a fairly big product near where I live, so I enjoy partaking in it in the summer and early fall - almost never enough at once to get drunk. I say almost only because I once shredded the cork on a bottle trying to get it open(Stupid flimsy plastic corks...) and so had to drink the whole thing in one night lest it go sour.

Fortunately most cider has a low enough alcohol content that that was only enough to get me a bit tipsy. But I kind of enjoy the warm-belly feeling that alcohol gives without needing a hot drink, which I don't typically care for.

I spent the episode thinking Rainbow Dash was an alcoholic. She drank it out of the dirt.
