I drink, therefore I am.
Saw that on a poster a while back. Made me smile, but also reminded me to never take my drinking that far. I know when to stop - I mean I've been to my limits many enough times to know where they are.
I generally don't drink to get drunk. I do enjoy being drunk though
. I drink because I love the taste of what I'm drinking (a good beer or whiskey usually). I will never, ever drink something that doesn't taste good, no matter how much you tell me that the taste is 'acquired'.
