What are your views on alcohol

I tend to not drink during the week. Over labor day weekend I drank heavily on Friday Sunday and Monday and I felt horrible come Tuesday. I've never been a frequent drinker so I have no alcohol tolerance at all (I'm also not 21 so getting booze can be a hassle); but getting drunk every weekend takes my mind off of how much I love drugs.
 
Yep, I'm 21 and my need for pills have decreased, all tho my need for booze has come in a lot harder.

I'm trying to stay away from street drugs and pharmaceuticals for a while so alcohol is a decent substitute for the weekends.

I can't even begin to count the times I've quit hard drugs with genuine intent, only to relapse while I'm drunk. You're playing with fire.
 
love/hate type thing

My father is an alcoholic with a personality disorder which I think he learn from his father who was faught in WW2 in Italy -US army-. Heavy action there, I am sure he came back haunted and with PTSD. (personality disorders are not genetic. They are learned or should I say earned {lame joke}. My younger brother who takes after my father may have a personality disorder and is on the path to alcoholism (he is 22 or 23).

I take after my mother for example I actually have a sense of empathy, am layed back, and totally non possessive/non selfish. Both my father and brother are extremly selfish, and have stabbed me in the back more than once.

I am about to sip some tequila on the rocks ~1 finger. Good Añejo tequila is the only liquer I like. I love quality sake (must be from Japan, and Junmai-Ginjo) and sparkling sake (Hou Hou Shu).

Good American beer is too hoppy for me, I find it very unbalanced. German beer is awesome but it is very hard to find good german beer or Slavic/east German pilsners (sp) that aren't skunked.

So I like it in moderation. I also hate it.
 
I think that it's kind of ironic that a lot of people bash on alcohol when it works almost exactly the same way that most benzos do.
i like booze but i hate when i feel nauseas on it.
i'd rather take booze in a pill, AKA xanax.

not the same thing at all. I mean, they're both GABA agonists, but it stops there. Alcohol is a very dirty substance that does a lot of different things, whereas benzodiazepines are very selective. Alcohol also turns into acetaldehyde, poisoning your liver.

The opposite was true for me... I drank less after age 21 than I had in the years before. I feel like alcohol as a drug is overrated and makes me feel unstable when I've had too much. Another problem with alcohol is that it makes me want to use other drugs that I need to practice discipline with... makes me just say fuck it and do whatever I want which is of course a bad thing :\

That being said, the right amount of booze (nice buzz, not too much of a drunk feeling) is perfect for parties/social situations...
 
Alcohol is a trash drug. Combined with pot it's Bill Murray disorder. But you can depend on it because of it's availability. It's the path of least resistance. If coke were legal that would be my go to, but that stuff gets stepped on. Yeah, I'd probably still drink if all the other intoxicants were put on market.

Thank fuck those days are over i don't even drink recreationaly anymore whatsoever. In fact the only time I consume alcohol is 1-3mls at a time if its vodka I used to make a solution of potent psychedelics generally phenethylamines from the DOx series. Booze straight destroyed my insides and I wish I could warn my self back then about what was on its way in regards to the pain and suffering from drinking 30oz hard alcohol or better somedays for many, many years. I can't even have a beer now without getting nauseous that and heroin withdrawals did a real number on me 😔
 
I was an alcoholic for ten years, all of my 20's. All it ever did was cost me all my money, several jobs, and many beautiful women. I also looked and acted like a fool the whole time. I regret all of it and view it as the biggest waste of my time and life.

Which is sad because ten years is a good chunk of your life to lose and I could have been in a much better place now. Especially losing my 20's when I had so much life in me. I could have spent that time hooking up with so many of the wild things that were around me. What a waste. But you live and you learn right. Right?..............whatever.
 
I only drink beer anymore, having one right now actually. Other, stronger alcohol just feels too toxic to me and I haven't touched it in several years
 
Don't mind a drink here and there, but if it came onto the market today, it'd be banned so fast (not that we should, we saw how that worked out with prohibition). It's only because the booze industry/lobby is so fucking powerful that it is so readily available. Nice social lubricant I guess, but my views almost line up with this, though I do think alcohol is more harmful than what is depicted below:

I'd smoke more cannabis and drink less if it were an option. Don't like to fill the house my parents live in with cannabis smoke if they are not smokers so I try to be considerate.
