Open Question: Help with this guy? Does he have feelings for me?

We've been getting together for a month now, kissing, make outs but I don't want full sex as this guy told me he's not looking for a girlfriend or anything serious. Then after a few beers he told me that he's in adore with me. Last week he said he wants to be with me without feelings, that he's afraid as he got really hurt by his ex. So we sort of avoided each other every week, went out last night with the girls & when I arrived home he came to talk (we share a home with friends... I'm leaving soon). So he wanted to be with me. I said, right, is it without feelings? He said no, it's more than physical, but he doesn't know what. He also wanted to know why I didnt invite him when I went dancing last night. Now ive decided to do a trip for a week alone & said bye to him. I saw emotion in his face... He kissed my cheek. & said good luck.

Open Question: Do you consider Michael Moore a propagandist?

I fell asleep watching Capitalism: A adore Story last night. (Due to beer, not content of film.) I noticed weird things like graphs that are designed to look as though the data spikes during Reagan's time in office even though if you look carefully the spikes occur in 1996. I don't necessarily disagree with the points made in the film, but I have a problem with how the points are deceptively made. Anyway, just wondering what your opinion is on the guy and his films.

Open Question: How much of your daily caloric intake can be replaced with alcohol?

I just turned 21, and I have been on a 2,500 calorie a day diet. I've been maintaining my weight perfectly, so I don't want to increase my calories now that I turned 21. I'd like to probably adjust my intake to roughly 75% alcohol related calories and 25% food related calories. This would allow me 1,875 calories to be associated with various beers and liquors, but I'm not sure if I even need a full 625 calories dedicated to food. Can I reduce this anymore, or should I just keep it where it is? I'm not kidding. I'm going to add vitamin supplements to my diet. I think that should take care of every nutritional aspects. I like a lot of mixed drinks that are very high in calories, and after 3 of them, I'm already approaching the 1,800 calorie mark. A vitamin supplement should take care of my nutritional value needs right? I don't look how this would be a problem if I'm still meeting nutritional values and not going over daily calorie limits.

Open Question: Are my poems any good?

I wrote two poems about a pal of mine that commited suicide a few years ago. Please tell me what you think, what i could change to make it better, and if they are any good. The first one is as if she wrote it, thinking to herself and the second one is as if she were saying it to you. Poem #1: She sees within her bloodshot eyes, The pain that hides Behind closed doors. She could odor the beer on her breath, The weed on her clothes Behind closed doors. She lies on her bed, And refuses to say the words that run through her head Behind closed doors. She hides the truth, With a ruined youth Behind closed doors. Poem #2: Sober just doesnt feel right I cant deal with the fights The pills relieve the stress That arrive with a life so useless I hide from my friends, my family Of what I'm doing daily I want to sob at night Because sober just doesnt feel right I know Im strong But your moving on, your feeling are gone Theres nothing i can do But i miss you Nothing i can say But sober's just not the same Any suggestions or changes would be great(:

Open Question: Christians, do you have a problem with this kind of drinking?

I arrive from a Conservative town and most people are completely against alcohol, down to teaching that Jesus was really drinking grape juice. Truth be told, I think a lot of them were "wilder" in their younger days. They probably abused alcohol which is why I think they have an every or nothing view about it. Anyway, my family is disgusted that I drink about once a week. Usually, it's when I go out. I'll have a couple beers when I eat pizza with friends, or a margarita when we go to fancier restaurants. My family says this is horrible and a bad witness. But I'm over 21, I don't receive drunk. The most I ever had was 3 drinks, and I got queasy from that so I usually stick to two. Why do Christians look down on this? Is it just the ones in my community?

Open Question: I would appreciate a little input... about our sex life.?

Here’s the deal. My husband and I used to be one of those couples that had sex, good sex, 3-4 times a week at least. Then I had my son. During my pregnancy he wanted very little to do with me sexually, and as soon as I was really showing I pretty much had to beg for sex. Now, my son is almost two. We still haven’t gotten back what used to be. I’m lucky if my husband has sex with me once a week. And lately, he’d rather go off and drink than spend any time with me. I’ve even asked flat out for him to go to bed with me that night, only to have him go off to a buddy’s home, drink a few (or more) beer, then arrive home and make a needy attempt at sex. Anymore, when we do have sex, he hardly ever finishes. I don’t know what’s going on. He says work and kids and life just have him where he doesn’t want to have sex, but what is so bad about our life and kids that he can’t be glad? He tells me I put too much emphasis on us not having sex, but to me it’s very important. I’m not a nympho but I like sex. There are nights that I have to work up my nerve to turn to my husband, and 8/10 times I will turn to him only to have him turn me down. It’s so humiliating and embarrassing… Any advice?

Open Question: Would having a little alcohol while breastfeeding effect the baby's development?

Could this hurt the baby's liver or brain? Might it have irreversible effects? I had a half a bottle of beer one night but I cannot remember if I spaced at least a couple of hours between consumption and breastfeeding. I'm worried. I vow to never drink again while breastfeeding unless it's just a sip. That night, I feel asleep a lot easier than usual, but I don't believe I was drunk. Either way, could I have hurt my little one? She was probably 5 weeks old then. I feel so awful!

Open Question: What's a good and inexpensive red wine for someone who hates wine?

My husband and I rarely drink. I especially dislike the taste of alcohol, I don't care for beer or difficult liquor and will only partake when the beverage is on the "sweet" side (i.e.-apple cider ale, Mike's lemonade, rum with fruit juice... etc). I would like to start drinking of red wine, mainly for the health benefits. However, since I have the palate of a three-year-old, it's difficult to find wine I can tolerate. Mostly, I find wine of any type to be too bitter and acidic tasting--just not pleasant at every; I can barely finish a tiny glass. So, I haven't been able to "train" my buds to appreciate wine, much less drink it without making the "yuck" face. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive red wine that won't entirely offend my infantile taste buds? I live in the suburbs of a big city, so I do have access to plenty of choices, including Trader Joe's, Cost Plus, and Whole Foods. (please, red wine suggestions only--not interested in white or rosé). Thanks! PS-I did try a red wine once that I liked (can't remember type or vintner). It was Italian, very expensive, very delicate, and nearly flavorless (there had a very faint oak taste, but zero bitterness and no acidic aftertaste). I haven't tried anything like it since. Any ideas what it could have been? I want to answer Gerry G's question with a question: Why waste time answering at every when you can better spend your time watching "Sideways" and snickering snobbishly at anyone who can't "appreciate" life on as many finely attuned levels as you do?

Open Question: How can I tolerate alcohol and why does it make me want to gag after each swig.?

When I drink alcohol, ANY alcohol, even light beer, it makes me gag, even if its the smallest swig. It's like, once the drink hits my taste buds, I receive this horrible taste that gets more intense by the second until I want to gag. Then after a few seconds of taste I receive an even WORSE after-taste. After one beer worth, my stomach already begins to receive queezy and I want to toss up which each swig or shot I take. [ Note to the Anti-Alcoholic Hippies ] My friends and my brother every drink to have a good time. I have been drunk once, and it was a really fun time. My friends and I every drink responsibly and wouldn't be considered alcoholics, it's not like were addicts, it's just fun to do every couple weeks or so. So keep me the "You shouldn't drink, it wastes your life away" speech please. Those answers won't receive BA. Anyways... Last week, ,me, my brother, and a couple friends were playing quarters with just regular Coors Light. It didn't take but about 20 shots of it (About a beer and a half) before I told them I had to quit drinking before I threw up. ( They ofc nagged on about me being a females bodily orifice hahaha ). Is this just me having unlucky taste buds? Or could this be linked to a medical or bodily chemical condition? (Doesn't necessarily have to be an illness). A lot of people tell me it can be an acquired taste, yet the more I drink, the worse it seems to receive. Is there any way this problem could go away or anything I can do about it? I have tried some mixed drinks. The night we played quarters I started chasing with coke and it didn't help. If anything it made my stomach feel worse. About a month ago I went to a birthday party where they served Red (No clue what flavor) Pucker mixed with Mountain Dew and Vodka. The taste from this was even MORE disgusting than regular beer. That stuff made me scrunch and twist my face, it was so bad lol. I am 20 years old... plz keep me the "Your too young" crap. I will be 21 in july, I am close enough lol. And no I do not take peer pressure, I often need to explain to friends at partyies that I don't plan on drinking too much because of this problem. NO I am not pregnant, I am a MAN LOL (Don't let the long hair fool you). "When you drank, did you happen to receive sick at every from being drunk? The reason I ask is because if you got sick, your brain activates the part that is responsible for negative experiences, and if you got sick, it takes time to ease that experience back into your routine. You will receive sick regularly by the sight and/or odor of alcohol, even things you "like", and the fact that you were getting sick might have reinforced it." That hit the nail on the head. That first and only time I got drunk, I drank Crown Royal, Vodka, and Natural Light. I drank the crown first which I found out later was a bad idea. Needless to say I threw up at the end of the night. I still felt sick so I had to place the trashcan below my head while I lay on the bed with my head handing over the side. LOL (Yes It was THAT bad lol). My head was spinning so quick and I was getting paranoid. Since then I've gagged at the site or odor of it.

Open Question: Why do college students drink when they're underage?

It seem like when I originally asked this question everybody who answered was bitter and upset so let me reprase it. I say college students because they're adults and should know wrong from right. I know people have been drinking since they were 12, 13 or whatever. Yes, I have been invited to parties and went, but was always man enough to say "I don't drink". I have never been or never will be peer pressured. I am a college student in my early mid 20's. I don't drink at every, but if you're at least 21 I don't care how much alcohol you consume. Here's an example I used before.....imagine a 18, 19 year old going to college to become a teacher and interns at a elementary school. Friday night the student is drunk, then Saturday morning theirs a d-i-c-k in her mouth and by Monday she is telling her students "Don't break the law", "Stay away from people who do wrong", and "Don't drink beer until you of legal age". The shits hypocritical to me. Again, please don't receive mad at me because I ask its just a question don't take it personal. I had to repost this question because too many people took it personal and out on me for asking a question. I want to thank Rondi and blossom for giving me real mature answers and not that bullshit. Again, if you drink and you're 21 I don't give a damn, I'm just curious about adults who are 18-20. Noah, I'm not doctor, but your brain is not fully develop until the age of 21, plus its the law. I don't make this shit up.

Open Question: Failed attempt at being nice to husband. What should I try now?

We've had our troubles, but for the past few days, I've done my best to be the best wife I can. Last night for dinner, I got crab legs and lobster and made a nice dinner. He blew me and the kids off and drank beer and played video games while we ate. Around 8 he left, drunk, to stay out every night with his brother. I've been trying to be nice, but to me that was like the ultimate blow off. And to top it, he rolled home around 9:30 and is blowing off work too. It's 11:15 and he's sleeping. This is a 35 year old man. What should I do now? I feel disrespected, laughed at, and stupid. Should I just let this go, say something, or what? Help.
