when i was 16 years old i took a few shots of peppermint schnapps...i had only had experienmce with weed at the time and didnt like it at all...after a few shots of schnapps, i felt WONDERFUl, alive, and very sociasl, energetic..i was like 'wow, this stuff is like happiness in a bottle'...from there on out thru high school years i would get drunk on the weekends with my buddies, it always maintaned that really 'enthusiastic, wanna conquer the world, meet hotties' type buzz...then when i 21 i discovered Ghb and i fell in love with that, it made me more functional, even more social and empathetic towards people9trait i have always lacked) and very horny/energetic..so i did ghb for a few years then discovered OPiates..game over, i found my new love..alcohol was a distant memory....from skinpoping nubain to snorting oxys to shooting heroin to methadone maintenance and now im free from opiates but i now realize they have pretty much ruined my alcohol enjoyment..i will drink once in awhile but like others have said, for the first 20 minutes you will feel fine then you start to get fuzzy headed, then you just feel numb...i dont drink or do drugs to numb myself, i do it to feel BETTER and to meet people and enjoy life..alcohol anymore just dulls me out...it doesnt give me anything close to the buzz i used to get from it..i dunno why either, maybe the opiates changed my brain chemistry, i dunno..
and oh yeah, alcohol is terrible for you...i never drink to get drunk but even still the next morning i feel drained and just with no motivation....
