A big role, I drink since I was a child, it's a cultural thing here.
Really curious, where are you from?

Plays a bit of a role, in that on Shabbos we have a vodka or whiskey shooter after service for a lechaim. I make a point to stop at one (maybe 2 if wife driving). Otherwise I will have maybe a beer at a family function.
There is nothing inherently wrong with alchohol - but drinking to the point of being drunk is not drinking in moderation and rather that person shouldn't drink - period.

He's a Moslem, his father will have to behead him in public if he drinks.
Some of the worst drunkards I know are Muslims. And I am not referring about the non-religious hip-hop types, but the religious ones who pray 5 times a day and go to mosque on every Fridays.

I never drink and i hope I won't ever drink . I believe its my lifestyle .
How old are you..? 24 and I am not muslim and it has nothing to do with my religious beliefs . Few of my friends started drinking when they settled down :p around 25,26..! so lets see if you can resist then..! but I'll say kudos to you for resisting till 24..! I'm drinking since 18 .

It's very popular in Bosnia also I know, even though it's a (mostly) muslim country. It's much of a cultural thing.

It plays a big part in my life, but I don't drink to get drunk. It's just something I enjoy the flavor of. It's kind of like how I approach food. Food plays a big part in my life and I really enjoy the flavor, but I don't eat food to get fat.

We eat food to survive. We dont need alcohol to survive.

oh you poor soul. but yeah, really though, i don't like the people who try to peer pressure me into drinking. they think that i enjoy it like they do, so they want to force me to do it. i guess they just don't understand that not everybody is the same.

I like wine but often we drink too much and I feel a bit sick.

probably far too much than it likely should. There is a huge part of me that wishes I never started drinking. I remember hitting the night clubs 6 days a week back in the day and then it was the cold beer store on Sundays. When I think back to how much I've spent on booze over the years I shudder.
I could easily have bought a house and paid it off years ago.

It does play a big role. I'm usually hungover each Saturday and Sunday, on those days I'm pretty useless.

Bosnia is not actually a Muslim majority country. Muslims are around 45% of the population. The Christians are around 54%, but they are divided in to the Orthodox (Serbs) and the Catholics (Croats).

I hate scum who get drunk and pass out. I was at a house party and this hippie surfer dude type thinks he's cool gets drunk and acts like a dumb fuck and passes out. I kicked the shit out of him his nose started to bleed. I laughed and left that scum on the floor bleeding his own.
I also once smashed a drunk bitch's face on a metal rod while partying in a yatch, one of her tooth fell off, her gums started to bleed all over the floor as she moaned in drunked pain, we all laughed at her, took her clothes off and one of my friends peed on her.
I have a high tolerance to alcohol I don't get drunk easy. I think people who get drunk are scum and should be treated as such.
you sound like a sociopath.

Not much. I like others have stated can't stand the taste of beer. I usually might have a Jack and Coke or White Russian, but that is about it. The best is a Colorado Bulldog = White Russian + a hint of Coke.

That is right.... Bosnian Muslims are basically Serbs who had converted to Islam a few centuries ago. Once the Ottomans were driven out of the Balkans, they didn't had much contact with the other Muslims. So they are very similar in habits to their neighbors (such as the Serbs, Croats and the Vlachs, all of whom unfortunately are their enemies. )
