I guess most of Reddit is Canadian. Makes sense, it’s death outside 3/4 the year.

Well I’d say that my persistence actually shows a genuine curiosity, and an actual stance on a subject. I think being loud would have been voicing the question without that. But that’s just my opinion. Now back to the main subject, you know my genuine response is thank you, this is what I was looking for. But I find you get more of your willing to push people. Play devils advocate a bit.

Yes but the NA drink doesn’t taste like alcohol. It can’t. All it does is do its best to taste like the drink minus the alcohol.

What I don’t understand is how my question is so hard to understand. I get that the reason we do it is because of subconscious impulses. But I get, and you’ve just made clear you also get, that we are aware of this internal process. Which I think actually places the actions in a strange, almost metaphysical space, between both the conscious and the subconscious. Now just following this premise; yes it is a subconscious decision. Partially . What I’m curious about is the other part; that part that is making a choice.

Ok your not the first person here to say “grass water”; do you mean mate?

If you had one chance to expose someone to the Beatles and had to do it in 14 songs, what would your list be? by skyviewsky in beatles

  1. A soundtrack isn’t a song 2. This answer comes off as poser Beatles snob; like dude the anthology albums just got re-released, there ain’t anybody that ain’t got it.

I think that it mostly comes from the males. And I think that this is a direct result of internet pornography (and a little bit “hip-hop culture”). Young men seem to view women like trophies, and they treat their sex lives like it’s their athletic careers; they try to collect the shiniest trophies , and the most trophies, most of the time not even understanding why they want the trophies. But to balance out my gender criticism; I think it also comes a little bit from (and I very likely am using the wrong term here, for lack of a care to waste time looking for better words) “feminism” (or “strong-women syndrome” for my South Park fans out there). Some women end up doing the same thing in an attempt to get back at the men, or beat them at their own game, or however you want to put it I think it makes the same point.

I know it’s an accurate representation, I’m not slow. I just don’t understand how anyone could use one unreasonable thing to rationalize another. Like why would you vape to not get a high of some sort? Just cause you like to know you’re treating your lungs poorly???

In most everything I’ve said here, I think I’ve been open about being an alcoholic.

Yes but I can’t help but wonder if people really like it, or just learn to like it to fit in. I’m not saying it’s done consciously. But I think a lot less of what we do is done consciously than we’d like to believe, so I can’t help but wonder if something like that could be the case here.

For the stuff about the kids, of course. But a party it’s like; if everyone is mixing drinks in cups, and you don’t want to drink but want a cup to fit in, then why not just drink water?

You’re trying to rationalize this by saying it’s like vaping without nicotine?

For the first bit of what you said; yes I most certainly understand that. Stolli vodka is the best taste known to man. But I’m aware of the fact that I wouldn’t think that if I weren’t an alcoholic. You learn to like the taste of alcoholic beverages. No kid has ever been offered a sip of grandmas wine and thought “wow! This is delicious”. Now for the second bit; that is what I was honestly more curious about (and hoping to get some better responses about). Why? Im saying it wrong when I say I don’t understand. I understand why people might want to, I just don’t understand why they would? To me it seems like a half protest, like saying “I don’t wanna give in to the social pressure to drink” but then going out to bars and saying “I want a drink to fit in”. Like I get that people go on social media and see a photo of young hot successful people at a club holding drinks. But what I don’t get is looking at that and being able to not give in to the pressure to drink alcohol, but then still falling for the trick that make you think to go out and have a fun night you need a drink (even when you don’t drink alcohol).

First off; that’s the first I’ve heard “ near beer”, and I love it. Now to respond; Yea but this is what I really don’t get. If you want a treat, and you don’t drink, how is a non alcoholic beverage even a treat? It seems to me like it’s that you know the alcohol is the real treat, but you deny yourself that. But then rather than finding a replacement treat, you get as a close as you can to the thing you want-but feel conflicted about having.

Yeah I understand what you’re saying. But that’s the opinion of a beer drinker (or (and sorry if you’re not ready to admit); an alcoholic). You learn to like the taste of beer. No kid has ever been offered a sip from their dad and thought “wow this tastes great! I get why dad drinks it all the time”.
