I have never drank alcohol, despite persuasion from friends. I consider it unhealthy. Chemically, it's a poison, and a "hangover" is the process of removing the poison.

It is unhealthy but it makes you relax and have fun if not drinking too much. Also it makes people horny which is a plus sometimes.

I also don't drink more than a few beers every few months, but if I lived in a warm country, I probably would. It's very tasty when it's hot.

oh wow, I'm usually the complete opposite lol. When it gets hot out I'm not interested in a drink because I'm just gonna get hotter. Give me a splash in a warm coffee though for an afternoon pick-me-up when I'm tinkering into the winter nights sounds nice (especially if your hands are freezing).

Sure you have tried a cold beer when it's hot? That bitter cold taste is amazing when it's hot and cools me down for sure. I wouldn't have any sugary drinks when it's hot though, just makes me thirsty.

I suppose I used to but it was mostly around like a pool or something that would cool you off. If I'm working all day and sweating my ass off though I'll turn down a beer for lunch for some water lol.
