Basically what I'm talking about. You're trying to make a hobby out of alcoholism so you can brag about something that's not worth bragging about. You're a drunk. Own it. Save money by buying cheap booze. Quit being pretentious about having a serious problem.

I enjoy being drunk and drinking stuff that tastes great. I'm not sure why that's so difficult to understand.

I'm not sure why it's difficult to understand being a drunk who doesn't hold illusions and just wants the escape from reality. I mean that's what we're both going for, I just don't require spending extra dollars for no real reason. The wince from a swig of malt liquor isn't really that bad. It's just not good.

I have zero confusion with your approach. The fact that you think I'm holding illusions with my preferences shows that you're the one who's confused here.

Although I guess I do find it confusing that you drink beer instead of hard liquor. Does it just come down to convenience? Not many gas stations sell whiskey.

According to that poll a while back you drink even more than I do. No way you do that for recreation. You gotta be going for some kind of oblivion.

Absolutely convenience. There's a gas station on my way home from work.

I can be an alcoholic who still approaches it recreatuonally, bitch. That's how we're created. My alcoholicism doesn't really contradict what I've been saying though. I drink more than you but you probably drink more beer than me.

I guess I'm just more avant garde than you. You gotta put up a screen between you and your need. I'm willing to experience it pure.

If you were willing to experience it pure, you'd drink vanilla extract like a real man.

If I wanted it pure I'd punch my mother in the face and drink Mad Dog with my last Burger King check before they fired me for not being able to shower or wash my uniform.
