What does *Drink* mean?

I am fairly new to this site and I have noticed that anytime someone posts a question saying that "we could not of come from monkeys" or posting a form of Pascals Wager, some people answer with "Drink". Is this a form of drinking game? And Ive been sober for over 12 years, so how do I play?

    There should be a definitive list of what questions qualify you to take a drink.

    Of course you can apply Pascals Drinking Wager. If a questioin seems repetitive and stupid take a drink, even if it really isnt repititive and stupid, take a drink just to be safe. Either way you get a good buzz.

    However if you have been sober for 12 years then I dont have to tell you anything about drinking games. We both played in the major leagues when we were younger.

    Its to show a question has been asked about a million times.

    Ok, at least twice an hour, every day.

    There's a list somewhere... But anything to do with Pascals' Wager, or humans evolving from "monkies", or atheists having no morals, or asking why there are atheists in R&S, or could god make a ___ so___ that even he couldn't ___ it.

    There must be a lot of drinking in Heaven... especially when God runs into Bacchus... the problem is geting up in the morning...

    Psalm 78:65 (NIV) Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a man wakes from the stupor of wine.

    So God is not much different from us...

    It means "Your question has been asked a million times, answered a million times, and is just as stupid as it was the first time it was posted so use the search function and read the 'similar questions asked' thing that pops up when you're typing it".

    It is a 'joke' (and I use the word joke very liberally), mostly used by the Atheists around here. Someone posts a question that is stupid/has been asked a million times before and people respond with *Drink*

    For other awesomely unfunny jokes that get over used around here see flying spaghetti monster and invisible pink unicorn.

    Drink!

    This too is a drinking question! There is a search bar up there, you can find questions that have been asked many times before and the people who spend a lot of time answering questions often wish people would make use of it.

    Drinking questions include

    'shouldnt you believe in god just in case?'

    'if we came from monkeys why are there still monkeys?'

    'what would you atheists do if you died and saw god?'

    'why are there so many atheists here?'

    'if atheists dont believe in god how can they be moral?'

    and so on...

    I am under age, not an atheist (which is to whom most of the "drinking" questions are directed at) But even I get tired of them all. lol. I just drink something, usually water, being underage and all......

  • We made a "drinking game" out of questions that have been asked thousands of times daily on here. It doesn't (technically) violate guidelines and it shows the questioner that they can simply look the question up and find the answer a billion times over.

    yes, the idea is when someone asks a question that is both slightly ridiculous and has been asked many, many times in the past, you take a drink.

    To play, you don't have to drink alcohol. Try some holy water.

    It means this question has been asked and answered hundreds of times already. If you've quit drinking, just take a shot of water or something.
