Ethanol

Ethanol
A thread about all things booze-y. Use the poll to indicate if/how much you drink. I put this in humour for the drunk stories Big Grin.

I once punched a hole in a wall because some guy asked me to while drunk. The bar owners were not happy...

RE: Ethanol
When I think ethanol, I think gas. Not booze.

I was a social drinker at one time, getting buzzed on weekends with my coworkers. After a while I got bored of it and quit.

RE: Ethanol
I think you're thinking of ethane or methane, which are gasses at room temperature because they lack the strongly polar O-H bond, which results in strong (relatively) intermolecular forces between molecules of ethanol. As the forces are stronger, it takes more energy (heat) to remove these forces, and so the boiling point is higher. Yeah...

Being over 40 I have developed a strong aversion to feeling like shit the next day, but a day rarely goes by where I don't have a beer or six.

No, he's thinking of ethanol, which is added to petrol (mostly by the US and Brazil), which the USians call 'gas'.

I used to be a mighty drinker, but I got tired of waking up on a park bench in a strange city with me arse painted blue.

Oh, I just assumed he was talking about gas as I understand the term. Whoops.

RE: Ethanol
Yeah, I go to a gas(oline) station, and it will say "contains 10% ethanol" or something.

RE: Ethanol
I have gotten old. (ATM I'm slightly tipsy, since I've downed some punch and a bottle of bubbly, but the last time I drank with the intent of becoming drunk was about one and a half years ago.) My hangovers have become terrible, usually accompanied with migraines. That leads to unpleasant technicolor yawning, and the migraine gets worse from the pressure of the vomiting, and since I puke, I can't take my medicine (which is in tablet form). That plus the 'morkkis' is just too much for me nowadays. When I was at my peak, I could drink dudes twice my size under the table. Now I don't drink, only for the taste and company. My favorite drink is 2cl of amaretto with 2cl of Jameson on the rocks.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
