Someone asked me about the word "HODL" and I can still remember that it came from an actual guy who'd been out drinking and typed it wrong.
So we can all thank a bottle of whisky for giving us this lasting name.

Yep. I wonder whwer he is now. Hope he ended up cashing in after all. Or, maybe he's still HODLING! ;)

Haha. Then I can thank alcohol for a lot of things in my life.
Although there are fuck ups too. But most of it was enjoyable experience so far. I don't drink that much now. But when I do, it's fun 😁👻

In my family, it was tradition to give it to kids on holidays. My mom made me drink a glass of gin when I was 14. Yuck! :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hahaha wow
But I believe people were a lot more loose with alcohol around kids back then. I never drank a glass of gin at 14, but my dad would let me take little sips of his beer when I was as young as 11 or so.

I had my first sip of alcohol when I was 23. Abused drinking for a couple of years. Realized soon that it's not great for health and certainly not great for the pocket. So now I am an occasional drinker. But I love my drinks. 😍

LMAO. I hope it was not neat. But you handled it pretty well. I wouldn't have made it this far 😂

My first beer was a Schiltz Malt Liquor when I was 10. I don't drink and I wonder if it was because of the stench coming from that can. I took a sniff and it reeked. One sip and that was enough for me!
My mom would always get irritated when I would turn down drinks on holidays and forced me to drink some up until I was 16.
I had a pint of Guiness when I was in Germany and still associate beer with chilly piss. lol!
It's like soccer. I could never understand the attraction to it. :)

Haha. The taste felt pathetic to me for the first time. I did it for the high and kept on it.
That's the thing I have noticed among drinkers, at least in India. When families don't mind kids having alcohol at such an early stage, when they grow up, they don't generally abuse the liberty.
I remember when I started drinking, I used to do it like it's my last day, every time.
Most people do it for the high. When people say they like the taste, I feel they are blatantly lying. It actually tastes like PISS. That's why Cocktails come as a huge savior for me. My friends used to laugh at me because of mixing sugary flavored syrups with my beer. That's how I like it.
Btw, Even I don't like soccer.

You know what it might be for me? My sense of SMELL. It's very strong and I often wonder if that isn't part of why alcohol smells so acrid to me.
I can notice scents from further away than most people. I couldn't stand yogurt until I was 16 and this lady from Europe turned me on to the flavored varitities, now I love yogurt. But can't get past booze! :)
As for soccer, I don't know why it's an American thing to hate it. I tried watching a match years ago and nothing happened. I asked my foregin friends "When does something happen?" The game was "nil-nil" as it seems nobody ever scores. I actually fell asleep I was so bored. But my British friends explained to me that that low (or no) scores are a feature of how good a team is? ???
I was bored to death.
I guess I'm so used to the action and tackling of American football. If the soccer players could tackle each other, that might make it a little more exciting. But here, it's only the immigrants from Latin America that are into soccer, give me the NFL any day!

Soccer fans would disagree with this. 😂😂 I had a huge fight with one of my friends over the same thing. But later realized that this is subjective. It all comes down to personal choices and the environment you are in. I never got the chance to admire these sports when I was small. I was always out with my friends playing Cricket. But later on, even that sport lost its charm in my mind.
I can't stand NFL either. Actually, I am not a sports fan as such, so I am biased.

I like soccer, but I'm also a big fan of American Football.
I'm a member of the Who Dat Nation!
Go Saints!
But one of my favorite sports is actually Hockey

Oddly enough I like the taste of Scotch and Vodka. Never liked the taste of beer although I have drank my share.
I come from a family of alcoholics hence why I was foster child. I do not know if it is a genetic thing or not.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha. That's cool @sgt-dan. Maybe I have never had a good scotch. But I still won't like it neat.
I think it's more because of the culture you are living in.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't really like Vodka... I find it a little bland, but Scotch, YES PLEASE!

I love cocktails too!
Gonna mix an interesting one later tonight. I'll share some pics later

We were allowed some Kahlua with milk on the holidays.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A coffee-based beverage? Never heard of it. Someone said that a person like me would like a "sweet" drink, due to my strong sense of smell.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, Kahlua is actually the brand, but it's pretty much a synonym for it.

Irish creme was good in coffee too.

Sad to say, nothing has turned out well from me drinking.

In addition to the liquor and beer companies, the legal system made out well off my drinking.
