I have a beer in my hand in most photo's that exist of me. Its not attention seeking though, that just happens to be the situations in which the camera's come out.

Same. I do drink a lot but i doubt it's anything to be proud of.

What's so cool, humiliating or attention seeking about drinking beer? Also; are you flaming my beer pic?! :bringit:

Maybe not but also I dont think its something to make a big deal of NOT being proud about. If I was drinking every minute of every day then that wouldnt be cool and I'd have a problem. However going out every weekend and getting steamed is not necessarily a bad thing.

I'm guessing the badwill against picture with beer in them comes from american youth culture and it's trends and attitudes towards alcohol (it's a teenage lament).

BJ, as you get older, beer or no beer is not really important.

Well i drink a bit more than that, though i am a student so that's what happens.
I think as long as you know your limits and aren't a violent arsehole then all the power to you.

Me too admittedly. Well, maybe not recently but when I actually had the cash I probably drank a bit too much. But yeah, i think thats where its at. Drinking so much to actually ruin your life or repeatedly drinking so much that you instantly become an arsehole is not cool at all. As you say, know your limits. I do, and if pictures of me pissed end up on Facebook then I couldnt give two ****s to be honest.

why THANKYOU dreadnaught dear I'm glad somebody appreciates my fashion sense

Probably. In my personal opinion, the stricter alcohol laws in this country have the self-defeating effect of making minors more focused on drinking heavily, which results in the kind of fetishizing of alcohol that BoopieJones is talking about.

It'll be 21 to drink here soon too. I know you lot have been saying it forever but I cant get my head around being able to vote at 18 but not being allowed a drink.
