Take your time and enjoy the place you’re at now.  ;)

It’s funny, I went through the whole college “chug, chug, chug” thing way back when.  Now I like taking time to enjoy the fruits of the brewmaster’s labor. (Yum)

BTW, the eating was done indoors as the temperature was below zero.  You put on your coat, run outside, grab your order, and run back inside!  Many micro-breweries in Minnesota are teaming up with those fancy food trucks like you see on the food network.  It’s too expensive to open a brewery and a restaurant at the same time, so they team up and it’s a win-win.   :)

Ya know, I'm just not the kind of person to do that kind of stuff, in fact, I find that kind substance rather unpleasant. Maybe my taste will change later who knows. For me, I drink and eat stuff because I enjoy it. Not for the effect like half the people I know. Even if they say "but thats the whole point of it." Ya I steer clear from that stuff. I am probably the only "clean" person in my school. Oh and thats saying something living in Upper "Drug"lin (Upper Dublin) haha.

Thats rather clever actually, teaming up. Whenever communities unite together it always seems to work out for the best. Lol, we all should go dressed as vikings, saxons, normans, you know, the usual group haha. That'd be epic.

Hey, I can always drink a nice pint of root bear!

That's good, actually. I know a lot of people see the point of alcohol as just getting smashed. But really, what does that say about a person that in order to have fun, they have to trash their brain function? Are they not smart enough to be entertained with their mental faculties intact?

Of course, I'm not talking about the occasional party, experimenting in college, or that sort of thing. Just the general attitude of, "I'm going to have a good time by getting lit" as a habit. That leads to dark places.

I was never much of a drinker. Only in the last few years have I been branching out, trying harder liquers, cocktails, mixed drinks, etc. But as soon as I can tell it's hitting my head, I've had enough. I don't need to be dizzy, or compromised in general. I just don't see the need to get wasted.

And kudos to you for that! I kept my distance from anybody neck deep in substance abuse, and myself and a few friends left another friend who kept coming home drunk so much he was kicked out of his parents house (at something like 17, before he even graduated high school).

It can be an acquired taste. I never acquired it. I had a few mixed drinks 5 or 10 years ago, a taste of wine, and I just don't even like the taste of it. So I don't drink any alcohol. And without going into details, a large factor in my divorce was alcohol issues with my almost-ex-wife. When out of control, it can do nasty, irreparable damage. Like almost anything in life, moderation is key, and there is a "too much" point. Respect it, and you can still enjoy it if you so choose. To each their own, and if they're happy and it doesn't hurt me, have at it! :)

As a pleasant side effect, no money spent on alcohol means more money towards weapons and armor. But I'm weird like that. ;)

The only thing I ever experimented with in college was paint. I had a very boring college experience. But then, I'm a very boring guy. ;)

Ian:
I don't trust anyone over the age of 21 who won't have a drink... ;-)

For what it's worth I didn't really like beer until I had good beer.  I've tried to like wine, but I can't.  I can tolerate white wine, but can't stand red.  And nothing warms the heart like a nice glass of bourbon... :)
