Drinkers of cheap beer

I don't agree with her position entirely, but this is just horse shit. If we apply your logic to food we quickly see how absurd it is. We eat food for sustenance (the sought effect), so would you say that having some ice cream is pointless? It doesn't advance the end goal. Corollary is that you would, and yet I doubt that you're this braindead, so why would you think that drinking for enjoyment of the taste is "missing the point?" The point is enjoyment; if one derives enjoyment from the taste or moderation, rather than getting shit faced, I fail to see how they're "missing the point."
 
Well see thats just it we are most definitely not talking about a necessity like food ..we are in fact having a discussion about alcohol or more directly Drugs and i believe my point is very valid. Alcohol is in no way needed to survive so your reference to food makes no sense. While i do however see what you are saying pertaining to the enjoyment from the taste i still believe you missed what i was saying entirely. To put it simply you can't claim to be any better or worse when it comes to drinking whether your a hillbilly trailer park alcoholic drinking a case of beer a night or a top paid CEO of a fortune 500 co. drinking a glass of wine a week. You said it yourself let me reiterate "if one derives enjoyment from the taste or moderation, rather than getting shit faced, I fail to see how they're "missing the point." Does that not work both ways?..and that was all i had intended to convey. I do think my mistake was adding "even dumber" in my OP i should have correctly said "just as dumb" if that was the cause of confusion then i apologize.
 
How did I know you'd take this route? The underlying logic is absolutely the same. You are arguing that a process for which there is an end goal is senseless unless done strictly to the end of advancing that goal. Whether the process is a necessity or not is wholly irrelevant. You're oversimplifying and creating a false dichotomy.

I should probably just require you to flesh out the argument at this point, but I'll throw you a bone and offer another example. Games. Games are created with a goal in mind - winning. Corollary would be that playing games "just for fun" is missing the point of the game - to win. But there's another side - I'll call it the soccer mom side - that says that winning doesn't matter and fun is the ultimate goal. So, is playing for fun missing the point (win condition) of the game?

This would be why I said "I don't agree with her position entirely." I got your point. It just wasn't relevant to my reply; my only intent was to address your logic.
 
You are absolutely correct. I jumped and assumed you were attacking the point i was trying to make without paying enough attention to the context in which i made my argument. My apologies
 
Don't even get me started on the beer situation here... FINALLY... after years of my bitching, you can get an ale at ONE bar here. And it's Sam Adam's White ale... Everything else is lager.
Most places are limited to Budweiser, Corona, Heineken, coors lite, And Puerto Rico's very own beer: Medalla light. Medalla won best beer in it's class (golden lager category) in 2007 at the New Zealand beer awards, a quality medal three years in a row in the world selection contest, and a quality medal at the Australian international beer awards, also in 2007. It makes no sense to me, but people who like Budweiser would LOVE Medalla. It's even more watery and flavorless.

I love pale ales, and I'm so fucking tired of drinking lager. When I went to St. Thomas for a day last week, one of the two major things on my agenda was to pick up some good beer.

The "cheap beer lets me get drunk cheaper" argument makes little to no sense to me. I'd rather enjoy what I'm drinking. My financial situation is not so dire that I can't afford to spend an extra 50 cents to a dollar per beer, and that's about all the variation in price you see here. beers here never run more than 3 dollars each unless you go someplace really fancy anyway. but, you know, whatever floats your boat. If you want to drink something that tastes like watered down carbonated urine, that's your choice I suppose.
 
I can't see the point of hating on all of this cheap beer. Now that I finally got a fake I.D. I supply my classmates with a large portion of the beer they consume on a weekly basis. Never once do I have people asking for anything other than natty, bud light/heavy, or smirnoff (bitches seem to like this, who knew?).

Also, if I rolled into one of the UTM frat parties with a bottle of some "ale" in my hands, they would laugh me out of the house. Then again, my life revolves around cheap beer and slutty girls.....oh wells
 
A: You're not mature enough to have a sense of taste yet, so I wouldn't expect you to understand.
B: Smirnoff isn't beer.
C: any frat boy who scoffs at a beer with a 6-8% alcohol content while drinking a bud light is clearly retarded. I can't drink enough American piss-lager to get a buzz on in the first place. Isn't being in a fraternity about being fucking wasted all the time?
