What is the difference between し and て-form in connecting verbs together?


Are there any differences between these sentences? Are they correct?

> 彼女は優しくて、綺麗で、楽しいんだ。だから大好きだ。  
>  彼女は優しいし、綺麗だし、楽しいし。だから大好きだ。

How do し and て-form differ? How about these sentences:

> 今日はたくさん食べて、飲んだよ。  
>  今日はたくさん食べたし、飲んだしよ。

Are these correct? Are they the same? Any help will be fully appreciated like
always, especially quick and detailed answers!




…し means that the clause with it is a part of reason for the main clause, in
other words, 彼女は優しいし、綺麗だし、楽しいし。だから大好きだ implies that you might love him/her for
other reasons than being kind, pretty and fun.

Incidentally, 飲んだしよ is not accepted in Standard Japanese, it sounds fairly
rude (in its realm). よ is accepted in Standard Japanese only when it stands
for a vocative case (dated expression) or a sentence ending particle. Other
usages are considered a slang (including so called feminine language).
Sentence ending particles need to follow either a terminal form of verbs (or
adjectives) or another sentence ending particle. Since …し is **basically** a
conjunctive particle, the form of 飲んだしよ is not a main clause with a sentence
ender but a sub clause with a filler (or interjectional particle or whatever).
