Do you drink while reading?

Do you drink while reading?

I do everything while drinking.

No I pour wine on my books

Do you drink while drinking?

why would anyone dull his senses during reading, except maybe to be able to tolerate cheap genre fiction?

Not usually because I fall asleep.

>he doesn't have a glass of whiskey when he reads
You're not doing it right.

Nope it fucks the concentration hard. Sometimes when I'm at the end of a book though.

I only drink when drinking

Sometimes I'll drink because of dehydration during long terms of reading. I think it's common in all life forms to hydrate themselves, but what do I know of the extraterrestrials whether they're so similar.

I prefer to smoke

Only caffeine, but then I don't drink alcohol in the first place

I do on the weekends, usually a Scotch, Cognac, or bourbon

If I have any more than two units I struggle to concentrate. A single measure of spirit makes me feel a bit more connected to the text though.

Niles: Ooh excellent, excellent. What wine would most enhance the experience?

Frasier: No, Niles. Wine might dull our faculties. Perhaps instead a slow sipping cordial would be the proper garnish.

Niles: Sherry?

Frasier: Armagnac.

Niles: Oh, well see? That's why you're the older brother.

Vodka. Anything else is casual tier.

Water because I'm not a fucking degenerate.

Holy shit you're not supposed to get smashed. Just casually sip a LITTLE BIT of wine and have some cheese on the side or whatever. Not exing the whole bottle.

when i was in my bukowski phase i used to get drunk of cheap beer while reading, had to stop because i got fat

Why would anyone want to drink bitter water?

Anyway I do drink coffee while reading

ahahahah what is this idea of literature
you should love poetry as the salamander in dante
that lives in the fire, but doesn't burn

I'd rather not be a fucking pseud poser. If I want something to get comfy with then it's a cup of tea. I save the booze for socializing.

This.

>he doesn't down a bottle of wine and read shakespeare in an irish accent

what is your life about m8

>he doesn't get 90% of his calories from forties of malt liquor
And you guys say you live the literary life...

Do you have long underwear?

I get hyphy when I read Dorian Gray.
I can fucking relate.
Boutta smash two more pints then finish this book

Anyone here eat while reading?
I like to have a big bowl of smoked almonds with me while i read.
Once i ate a whole tin of dolmades while reading chapmans translation of homer

>doritos dusted books
Thats one good reason I stoped lending my books.

Nothing's better to me than drinking good beer and reading

>eating orange extruded corn substitute
Found the problem

Alcohol really screws with my eyesight, so if I want to do some serious reading I avoid the bottle.

No but I smoke cigarretes and occasionally weed

nice

surprisingly, only rarely. And then, only a cuba libre or two.

Not while reading anything important. Casual lit or Hemingway? Sure. Beer, coffee mug of red, a scotch if I can get my hands on it. If I'm reading philosophy or something otherwise intellectual I'll skip the sips.

I drink all the time.

When I read, I read. I don't do anything while reading, it's too distracting.

All of you people take reading too seriously. I love having a few pints and reading. A quiet pub during the day is probably the nicest place there is to read.

\thread

I don't drink while I read very often, but I do love reading after coming home cunted from the bar/party.
Usually pages from books I liked, poetry or montaignes essays.

I only drink, I don't read.
