Chris drinking is a good thing. If he's sitting in his house wasted one night, we might actually see some good content from him. I think the only way he'd ever make another video is if he was drunk enough that he'd taken leave of his senses.

Living and sleeping in the same room as barb this is unlikely to happen for a bit.

Personally if he were to consume either a stein full of good beer or a pitcher of proper zombie cocktail without falling unconcious he would go up a few points in my scale of respect.

Hell, i honestly know guys who are bigger lightweights than chris, bcause at least chris could choke down a long island ice tea without going comatos
 
Chris doesn't like beer and he only drank it to look cool. If it isn't sweet he probably won't really like it. He has a child's taste in everything in his life so that's sure to apply with drinks too.

Sooo...Wychwood Snake's Bite then?

Or perhaps Chris is more of a cider hipster.
 
Maybe it's time to make a beer thread in General or something because it seems to come up a lot lately...

We had a drinks recommendations thread a while back, maybe its time to rez it?
 
I suppose it doesn't help that his guardian angels of drinking (for lack of a better term) are extreme attitudes about alcohol: D.A.R.E. and Peter Griffin. The former-even years after middle school-still haunts Chris, and he'll be quick to tell you that excessive drinking is a bad, bad, bad thing. But at the same time, the latter has shown Chris that excessive drinking makes you the life of the party, talented, balls-out funny, and with no consequences to face afterward (or at least no consequences that can't be solved with a heartfelt speech accompanied by soft underscoring).

And, like others have said, it also depends on what Chris is drinking to excess; there's a big difference between Bud and, say, Arrogant Bastard. And again, not to mention that he's gotta lotta fat on him to absorb everything.

So when Chris tries to get out of a tight spot with an "I was drunk" excuse, not only does he admit to behaving like a criminal, he sounds like an idiot.
 
chris possibly went to bars thinking he'd meet his sweetheart because that is where bob and barb met. however, he's not going to meet anyone nose deep in vidya. (god that sounds like a broken record)

Back when it first got out that Chris had started indulging in alcohol, I recall hearing he had tried to sweeten a beer once by putting sugar packets in it...lol.

My impression was that Chris had a "honeymoon" phase with drinking and then gradually started leaving it alone. He uses the phrase "Social Drinker" to describe himself but I get the feeling that refers to the frequency with which he drinks rather than the general environment in which he does it. I'd make the joke that he "doesn't have the necessary dedication to be an alcoholic", but I'd only be half right. He has more than enough dedication to habitually engage in self-destructive behavior. It's just that he likes being drunk, but not enough to jump all the necessary hurdles in order to drink regularly.
 
Chris seems like the type to go to a bar and not tip the bartender.
Also, I can't imagine what kind of bar he went to in the middle of the day thinking he'd find a sweetheart. Doesn't he know the boyfriend free girls only come out to drink at night?
Unless by "bar" he means "Applebee's". That's the kind if place lonely old crazies go to drink and be creepy to the bartenders in the daylight hours.
 
Last I heard, Chris was into shit like hard lemonade (the Mike's kind) and Budweiser which is basically piss but that was ages and ages ago.

I have no idea if Chris still drinks. This is just me purely speculating, but I'm guessing he probably doesn't for financial reasons or maybe because of Barb. Again, that's just me making an educated guess based on my knowledge.
 
Mikes Hard Lemonade? if he wanted soda, he could spend less at a vending machine. I drink the Reebs every now and then, I only had "Bud" once and I prefer Miller.
 
If you recall on his birthday video, he stated people should avoid smoking and drinking alcohol because "it was bad for you". Yet, the big night out videos showed him drinking Long Island Ice Tea because he saw it in the Simpsons.

In Chris's mind, Bar=offline socializing (this is correct)
However, in Chris's mind, offline socializing=playing on your current portable gaming device and waiting for cock hungry wealthy super models to approach you so you can get married and live happily ever after (this is incorrect)

but chris sees all the boyfriend-free girls playing on their phones all the time while they're sitting at the bar, so he figures he would put two and two together and then complain when it doesn't work

that's the sonichu way! :medallion:
 
Chris mentioned somewhere (I think it might have been in one of the later Jackie emails) that he went through a phase where he was drinking a lot, but then he saw how bad it was for him and cut back. To me, that suggests that he still drinks frequently (though maybe not heavily), because of how exactly it parallels what he said about McDonald's during the Liquid Saga.
 
Chris seemed to enjoy being drunk the few times there's evidence of him doing it. Like, he legit seemed to perk up and be more engaged. Chris is a happy drunk. Who knew? But I also think that Chris is depressed, maybe clinically depressed, due to his isolation and his home life and the fact that he's Chris, and that part of the perk-up was from unintentionally self-medicating. Alcohol is a depressant, yes, but when you're seriously depressed, you'll take any change in mood you can get.

I doubt he has the resources to to drink recreationally, and I don't imagine him drinking alone in the gloom of the hoard or anything. But I also think he would probably drink a LOT more if money and opportunity presented itself, and that if he ever drank enough to get past disliking the taste of alcohol, the AA Saga might not be far behind.

I had lemonade and vodka at a Strikeforce event a few years ago. It was watered down but mad tasty. Should try that again some time.
/personal tangent
