I know I know its sorta not metal.
But I already drank my share and I'm cut off for life.

The Heathens coming with me are all sober too... wonder if we'll be the only ones...

[Zeh]

In fact, I'm not much into drinking while onboard. I'd enjoy it better being sober.

[ShoreSlayer]

None for me thanks. Besides, what's beer without that other commodity which I have no intention of trying to bring on board or through US customs

For this trip, I'll gladly just OD on my current drug of choice... METAL!!!

I only drink wine with dinner (occasionally). Started about 8 years ago since it has health benefits. Never been drunk, no plans to either.

Being METAL isn't about drinking and drugs, it's all about the music.

TETO (to each, their own) but I live my life like its a Tankard song.

It's all about personal choice sir. My reasons are mine alone and are in no way a criticism of those who choose otherwise. Honestly, I'm jealous that you can continue to do so at "our" age. You're made of tougher stuff (more resilient mind & liver) than me

[Captain Metal]

I myself am a moderate or simply an occasional social drinker (last time being a couple of months ago). I've certainly gotten drunk a time or two, but not the sloppy fall down comatose sort. More like super smartass really, so I'm no angry drunk for sure. I know my limits and never particularly exceed them, so no memory erasure for me.

I don't particularly care for beer, so all that discussion about which ones will be stocked aboard is fairly irrelevant to me. Maybe just a bit o' rum or vodka when the mood strikes.

I'm sure I'll probably throw back a few drinks on the ship when the time is right. Just get a good buzz and let the good times roll

In the end, my answer is that most of the time I don't drink, but when I do, I make the most of it without being stupid

Me too.I enjoy geting drunk but i love getting wasted.
Sometimes i don't drink at festivals and gigs.Depends on my cash situation or hangover.
Even at Metalway last year most of the days i didn't really drink.
Seen the more bands play at that festival sober than i did at any other festival while i was wasted oddly enough.Example being me going to Wacken and seeing 2 bands playing.

[Memnoch]

I guess I wouldn't be much of a Finn if I didn't drink.
To be honest, Captain Metal pretty much summed it up for me too. I'm not much of a beer drinker either, a couple will do, but am a sucker for overly sweetened drinks(some might know the Swedish Rekorderlig Strawberry-Lime cider, yummy!). That might explain why I haven't had a hangover in over ten years(even if sometimes the amount of booze drank in one night has been literally gallons). Oh, I almost had a hangover at last summer's Metalcamp(Slovenian festival)!

because you have to be drunk to enjoy metal?
interesting.

[Schluckspecht666]

No.

Just because I drink does not mean that I have to be drunk to enjoy metal or anything else.

[vainglory]

No.

well duh.
Just wondering why it would bother you that someone ELSE doesn't drink. ODD.

[Schluckspecht666]

Where was it mentioned that it bothers me when someone is not drinking?

and there is the added benefit of not having a $500+ drink tab to settle up on Friday, $6 premium beers and $8 margaritas add up quickly...

That was meant as a joke and I'm sure most everyone got that.

You seem to take this too serious and if you start that kind of thread, you should be prepared for some "funny" replies.

@ Schluckspecht666, your quote offended because you were negligent in your use of smileys, a simple , or would have properly conveyed the humor of your thought and kept fellow crew members' undergarments from wadding and chaffing... (see how useful smileys are!? )

[vainglory]

YES EXACTLY.
Sorry about that Schluckspecht666... I got your tone wrong.
I looked at the smileys hoping for a wink or a smile... Tone gets lost alot in board postings and that seems to be what happened here. :)

[Schluckspecht666]

Look at the first of all the smileys, look close:

either that or SOMEONE is just a little uptight... (must be that Bay Area traffic) <---- please take note of this

[vainglory]

Its a wink!
My bad.

(a subtle subtle wink)

shit, how could we miss that?! sneaky Europeans

I will not be sober on my dream vacation.

I'm a light-weight and I couldn't drink a lot if I wanted to.

But I'm still going to drink Tom Cruise under the table. GOTCHA!!

Do you mind if Vainglory and I take up ringside seats for that one? Entertainment for the ages I'm sure. And you'll probably both stay awake longer than me!!

Metal... HUGS!? I don't thein the Irishman Metalwrath will approve of that AT ALL

Sorry, I may be sparking another international incident here....

[TOM CRUISE]

I think its ok that people do not drink or rarely do, and I am hoping that at least 1/2 of the cruisers wont drink a drop. That will leave MORE booze for Metalwrath and others to unleash the glory of PUNISHING OUR LIVERS FOR METALLLLLLLLLLL!!!

We'll have to get Sonata Arctica to start up their rendition of 'Vodka', and if I blow chunks I'm just sea sick

I'm putting in my vote for Beer Beer or Happy Little Boozer by Korpiklaani as the soundtrack for this incident.

Throw on Tyr's rendition of The Wild Rover!

I was thinking more like $200 a day for alcohol (don't forget to tip your bartenders and waitresses) If your going to be on a metal cruise why NOT drink? It's not like you have to drive anywhere. As long as you can crawl back to your cabin without falling off the ship your fine.

Thats IS a good point. You've got the whole ship as your DD

I think it's super important that altercations and rowdiness that negatively affects others (All other rowdiness A-OK) are kept to a minimum; This trip is too expensive to allow drunk assholes to ruin a good time!
I'll be drinking a fair amount most likely.. but I play nice!

I agree, I've had a few drunk assholes ruin my day at shows.
