    You don't drink 8 beers every day? It might not be so easy. 8 cups maybe. This post was edited by O-uknow at March 5, 2017 6:28 PM MST

    could never drink eight beers in a row
    not even one now.
    But once i did,
     and crashed into about 6 cars that were parked along the road.

  • Well I don't know the answer, Startibartfast, but I too love your imagery!

    I like it, too.

    (I'm so "heated," so to speak - -- I even am attracted to this guy's "eyes opening wide/eyebrows going up")

    Yup, you nailed me WingedWonder! Ha!

    My close friends say the same thing about me --  everything you listed there! I admit it --  it describes me!

    A support group may not help --  we'd both probably try to go out Twelve-Steppin' with every guy at the meeting.

    :)

    That might be a challenge.
    :)

    I'm just incredibly visual. And there's so often such a great view to see! Ha!

    Hi WingedWonder!
    I came across this again just now --  I still like this guy's eye-opening talent.
    :)
    Ha!
    Boy, like I already said --  you've nailed me about my attraction to guys.

    I don't think I would drink 8 beers in a day, but I would drink more beer then water because it tastes better.

  • Do eight beers help one make witty quips?

  • Nah, I think it's the quitty wipps the beers help with Whistle6!

  • Last year the Guardian ran an article on popular myths and one of them was "8 glasses of water a day" which is recommended "only if you enjoy urinating". 

    Eight beers is no problem. Apart from the enjoyment of getting slowly pickled in convivial company, you don't need to visit the toilet to dispose of the residue. Instead you visit the "used beer department".

    I, too, have come across a couple of reports questioning the benefits of eight glasses of water a day.
    Now, eight glasses of Pitch Black Mountain Dew? Now, there's some enjoyment for me!

  • You're not related to Corey Goofeyhawk by any chance are you? He's the site Mountain Dew enthusiast.

    Hi Didge!
    Does he like Mountain Dew? Ha! I didn't know that.
    No, we're not related.
    And I'm not a fan of regular Mountain Dew --  but I love Pitch Black Mountain Dew -- Mountain Dew mixed with dark grape soda.

  • He's our on-line conoisseur. I don't think we have the Pitch Black variety in  Oz.

    Because water tastes boring.

    (Pitch Black Mountain Dew is my current weakness.)

    I tried water once---I didn't really care for it.

    Perhaps that would explain it.
