Alcohol Alcohol Megathread

Wouldn't something be considered more toxic the longer you had to wait to safely take it again though

Not necessarily at all. Alcohol turns into acetaldehyde in the body which is very toxic to all organs. Getting fully drunk damages every internal organ including the brain. Even a single time in a month causes damage every time. Contrast that with MDMA... it produces some toxicity each time, yes, but if you take a dose to fully roll, once a month, you're not going to cause nearly as much damage as getting blind drunk once a month.

Alcohol is, sadly, a highly toxic substance. It's why someone can literally die of organ failure in the span of 20 years if they're daily alcoholics.

Having a beer or glass of wine with dinner is almost certainly less damaging than rolling once. Maybe even a daily drink if you keep it to one. But binge drinking is absolutely awful for you, even once. I've been doing it on and off for 19 years and it's hard to say since I've been doing a lot of other drugs at various times, too, but it has been the single worst thing in terms of damage to my brain and body, I think.

Hi Bluelighters.

How euphoric is alcohol? I have never been a heavy drinker, and I consider their euphoria quite poor. It doesn't even come close to the euphoria of a benzo or even Pregabalin, which causes quite similar effects to alcohol.

I feel a slight euphoria for about 15-30 minutes and then it makes me act confused and silly. Not to mention the hangover if you drink too much.

It’s all about tolerance for me. Usually I’ll wait a few months then drink sporadically for a few weekends. I always notice that first buzz after a good wait is pretty damn euphoric but tolerance to that euphoria gains quickly.

As I’ve gotten older the euphoria has diminished but in my younger years it was very prominent.

Absolutely. But it is a particularly shitty euphoria in that I feel fuckin fabulous - but everyone else just thinks I'm a cunt... :\
 
I drink a glass of wine daily but I'm really sensitive to the side-effects of drinking lately so if I have 2+ drinks it already screws with my sleeping and makes me cranky next day. The shame is that one glass just relaxes me, need 3-4 drinks to really get a euphoric vibe going.

Still, I never stopped loving wine or liquor, though I sure gave myself enough reason to :) What I really miss is mixing a gin n tonic with a point or two of cocaine in it, now that was some great euphoria.

Hey, @nznity and @supersonic89 cheers for the info on pisco.

So I'm checking the website of our government liquor shop (the only place to buy liquor in Ontario) and they have three Peruvian piscos and a Chilean one.

The price seems to reflect what you guys are saying about quality with the Chilean one being the cheapest by quite a margin.

They sell the following:
  • Miguel Torres Chile Pisco El Gobernador (the cheap Chilean one) $37
  • La Caravedo Puro Quebranta (the mid-price Peruvian one) $42
  • Piscologia Pisco Acholado $64
  • Piscologia Pisco Puro $64

Any opinions on which of these I should take a look at?

The LCBO will also source anything the customer wants so if you guys know of a pisco that might be better than what they have on offer, let me know.

What I've found to help immensely is riding the alcohol high out til it's almost gone and then going to sleep. Works wonders in terms of minimising negative after-effects. Coupled with copious amounts of water, it's almost a hangover prevention.

This, however, only works when the drinks are kept to less than like 10 pints or equivalent and/or the hours spent drinking are equal to <6-8.

Just some pro tips for any of my fellow binge drinking degens out there. :)

I fucking hate vodka....it's the most pointless, flavourless thing I've ever had the misfortune of swallowing.

I'm drinking a glass of wine as I type this anyway.....coronavirus bunkering has me drinking alone now....thanks a lot, CCP.

Maybe when I was 18. I might be a binge drinking degen, but I still retain some standards.

I see what's going on here.....not only are you cats over there hoarding all the sanitiser, but you're also having fucking vodka parties whilst I'm stuck here at home sipping on wine and talking about fucking pisco!

;)

Yeah, nah though......I can't drink without enjoying the taste of the stuff....I don't like the high enough to just be all about the ABV.

In fact, I make excuses about drinking nice tasting alcoholic bevvies just to keep drinking or so it seems. 🙃


Actually, come to think of vodka....one of my best mates is from Moscow and even he doesn't drink vodka....at least not since immigrating to Canada and discovering gin and rum.

I don't get chance to actually taste the stuff so it doesn't matter to me.

As I said, it's all about the ABV...
