I happen to have issues with farther and further, but I think the thing I have the most problems with is punctuation and the spelling of a few things. So if you happen to see commas in places where they shouldn't be during an RP, I apologize in advanced.

I have issues with birds. Not the spelling, they just creep me right the frig out.

lol, but seriously, Stanzie then and than are SOOO frusterating, so here, I'll do some research for you:

Than = comparing two things
Then = with respect to time

for example:
I am better at wearing clothes THAN you.
We are going to the baby factory, THEN the dorkfish museum.
Dorkfishology is better THAN non-dorkfishology.

Yeah.. I don't actually say "ewer" though, that one was just for the effect <.<.
I do say willain though, though I'm trying to correct myself when I do it Tongue

I have horrible pronunciation habits, much due to my upbringing, though grammatically I tend to only make errors due to typos or intentionally as an effect of dialogue.

Just because I idiot doesn't mean I'm an drunk!

....

Wait... *Glances at the bottles of alcohol on his desk behind him.* What's my desire for prettily-shaped glass bottles to do with my horrible southern english?

I hunt for you,

Because there's no such thing as any of your nightmares.

Saturday's here-
A time to RP and make merry,
When Sunday Arrives,
A** kicking time you'll fear!

Or they just don't like the taste.

Or their chemical makeup is such that any alcohol will cause a chemical reaction within their body that could render them a walking nuclear wessel. Er, vessel.

No, though I can't say the same for people who make snap judgments about others based on their personal practices?

Snipping aside, I neither like the taste nor the way it makes people act. Some people are fun when they're drunk, and those people are typically a lot less fun as the depressant qualities of alcohol begin to kick in. I'm generalizing and there are exceptions. I'm not one of them and have met few who are. Even to the small extent that I enjoy it, I find that I end up regretting it. I'm just happier sober, which is all the reason I need.

As for others, so long as they are responsible about it and keep the consequences to themselves, I have no opinion of it. It's self-destructive to many people and that's a shame, and for some it's nothing more than a recreational activity. For those people I only wish they would find something better to do to enjoy their lives. But that's not to say that there's by necessity anything wrong with it, just that there's nothing productive about it that can't be achieved by more productive means, at least ideally.
