Alcohol is by far the most disgusting toxic drug there is. Yet I still drink occasionally. I binge heavily and go crazy everytime, I unfortunately can't do it any other way. Hungover with a head full of regret gauranteed. If you're trying to quit drugs alcohol is great for guilt free relapses.

Drink faster. Having 4 pints over anything more than an hour with any tolerence will probably just be a bore. Shots shots shots straight from the get go and listen to some hype music. And don't go to bars to chill if you wanna enjoy being drunk. Hit the club or a party

Ugh I hate it also, althought I do enjoy dessert drinks like Mudslides and stuff.. But I really can't stand drinking, don't know why use to love it..every now and again I will drink but then wish I hadn't...Have noticed though when I'm clean from everything and hadn't had ANYTHING for a few months I would start hittin the bottle and enjoy it then, but would always wish I had something else, like pot, or some xanax, or some coke with the booze...its the drug that just makes you want other drugs to me,lol.

Yeah man you need to get your tolerance up. If you get sleepy on alcohol the slower you drink and drag it out itll make you tired. Drink faster like Benwise said. Get pumped up. What I found is that high proof alchohol like Bacardi 151 just gets me 'bout to fuck some shit up' attitude and pumped up. Pregame and do a few shots and you will be good. Damn yo I miss the those good high school drinkin days! Makes me want to drop this shit now and go buy a bottle haha.

Same here, since opiates I can't enjoy alcohol - it's the same with every single person I've known that got a real opiate habit then quit. It just makes me tired & depressed no matter how fast I drink. Benzodiazepines (GABA-A) & Phenibut (GABA-B) I both find highly recreational so go figure.
Me too. Plus I end up doing stupid shit like talking about subjects that are not appropriate (politics or drugs) and I talk way too much. I also try to hit on people I normally wouldn't. Usually the next day after heavy drinking, I have anxiety for how I acted plus a hangover.

All of this. Even if it weren't for the shit that happens the morning after, plus possibly having spent a whole fuckton of money, I don't enjoy the feeling of being drunk anymore. I like the effects of 2-5 beers, but any more than that and I start to get noticeably drunk. In the wrong company that sometimes escalates, and I regret it for about half a year before making the same mistake. It's rare that I get drunk nowadays though; being actually drunk is just as intoxicating as any drug that I like to do - usually more so - and isn't nearly as nice. Just a general stupor of clumsy confusion and overconfident awkwardness.
The first time I ever got drunk is the only time I truly enjoyed alcohol. Everything after that just felt like too much work for very little satisfaction that comes with a lot of side effects. I still enjoy hitting up some craft beers and catching a light buzz with my friends, though. A light buzz is about as far as I like to go with alcohol, anything past a light buzz makes me feel trapped in some negative emotion.

You're not the only one. I think it's highly overrated.
Part of the reason why I dislike being in college so much; all my friends just want to down 8 shots and go act belligerent in public. I'd rather shoot up, pop some pills and make some music on a Weekend night

I started drinking occasionally at the age of 13 or 14. I loved it in the beginning and then after a while I started drinking less and less because I was using various drugs and I always preffered other drugs to alcohol. Fast forward to age 20, I move into a house where all the roommates where University students who drank like fish. So, it wasn't uncommon to go to a party every 3 days or so and drink heavily in good company, getting hype at parties (often mixing in drugs, which was extremely fun!). After I turned 21, I started drinking way more frequently because I just had to go down the street to the 711 and get a six pack of 12oz, 10.5% draft beer for $6.50. So, that's how I started drinking more and more frequently, often in the morning (especially when hungover). This continued for a while and then at some point (I don't even know when) I became a legit alcoholic who had to drink everyday. So, I was drinking everyday and I got a clonazepam 1mg/day prescription for panic/anxiety. The combination was awesome, complete anesthesia. So, I started drinking even harder and started waking up with the shakes.
I went to rehab. Detoxing alcohol was horrible. I felt like I was gonna get a seizure. Completely anxious, panicking, intense insomnia and a feeling of dread. That lasted about 5 days. I was in a hospital, so I got benzos and anti-seizure medication but I still felt like I was dying (almost as bad as benzo, just lasted shorter). Since going to rehab I have been drinking about 1-2x/month. This works out pretty well and sometimes I even go 3-4 weeks without a single drink. I only drink with my friends and usually we do something fun like freestyle rap, play board games, maybe hit the bar and dance, etc. When I was an alcoholic I didn't go out at all because I was so focused on drinking and people aren't usually down with you drinking during the day, so I isolated. I take buprenorphine (2-4mg/day) and I thought it might decrease the effects of alcohol, but I'm pretty sure that chemically it doesn't affect it and actually it is known to potentiate buprenorphine or any other opiate. It's weird because I get a hangover every time I drink even though I drink like a gallon of water (total) while drinking and before bed. I always eat something while drinking or afterwards but I still get massive hangovers. When I'm hungover I find that my bupe actually works better and I can noticeably feel a pretty big difference in effectiveness. Bupe is such a strange drug!
Anyways, alcohol is most fun if you have some cocaine in your system, but cocaine is garbage nowadays (filled with levamisole), it's dirty as fuck and besides the combination of ethanol and cocaine creates a new metabolite cocaethylene which is very hard on your heart. Speed (amp/meth amp) is fairly fun but the hangover is coupled with coming down off speed and it equals a horrible day. Plus you can drink a whole liquor cabinet on speed because you don't feel drunk and it can sober you up if you are drunk and then take a hit of speed. It's pretty amazing, really. Benzos and alcohol is extremely fun and I was addicted to this combo for 3 years straight, morning to night. You should really avoid this combo because it's potentially life threatening (stop breathing, choke on vomit, accident, etc). MDMA/Ecstasy is pretty damn fun with alcohol but be careful not to dehydrate yourself or act a fool, still wouldn't recommend this one as it's probably not all that safe. I would imagine drinking on the comedown is relatively safe depending on what your stuff is adulterated with. Opiates and alcohol don't mix in my opinion because I feel like even though alcohol potentiates opiates, it takes away from the euphoria and energy and just gets you fucked up and into the "blah" territory.
In conclusion, alcohol can be fun when drinking with friends but you will need to drink faster or drink more (I know terrible HR advice). Be in an environment where you can let loose and enjoy yourself (club, house party, etc). Be careful because alcohol can increase your cravings for drugs exponentially, so it is inadvisable to drink while in recovery.
If you can, don't drink at all. Ethanol is harmful and you're better off without it.

I haven't drank in 2+ years, I would much rather take a benzo. Most of my family drink regularly and I have seen what daily alcohol use can do to great, amazing people. It's just like any other drug, if used in moderation its fine but society doesn't consider alcohol in the same class as other drugs.
i have the same problem OP...since i used opiates, ghb and stimulants for years and years and then stopped, going back to alcohol was just completely underwhelming..i dont even get a positive effect from booze anymore, doesnt matter if i drink beer or hard liquor, if i drink fast or slow, the end result is the same..i just get cloudy headed, sloshy and just feel shitty overall..i have to blame it on me having experienced the delight of speedballs(opiates/stims) and ghb combined with stims..much better highs than alcohol..
sadly i dont think there is a solution to this problem..i havent found one...it makes going out to the bars to be quite lame imo..

I feel you. It comes and goes for me, some months I'll love it, some I don't.
I was an alcoholic [every day drinking] for 6months straight, after that I can't handle the taste of anything whether I like the taste or not.. sucks a lot.

btw i used to enjoy alcohol when i was a teenager and hadnt experienced any other drugs...back then it gave me powerful euphoria, made me really social and energetic, life of the party..now it just makes me want to go to sleep and get rid of the nasty feeling..

The only way I enjoy alcohol is by myself, and even then it's not that great. You are kind of stuck OP - drink in a better environment and it might be more pleasant.
I agree theres a strong link between serious alcohol use and depression. Thats why I never drink. I would deny it even when I have no legal stuff.

Just a shot out of the dark here.
I've never really enjoyed alcohol; unless the intent is there.
You say you like the taste, beers do taste nice but if your not looking to get plastered, they're good with a hot thai, curry or whatever has chilli and spices.
If you do indeed drink with intent to get drunk, it'll up your tolerance. I've never been one for binges that go on for day after day thankfully.
It could lead to this though. Drinking socially is a different matter, if your social skills can keep up with the social circles you be fine. If not people get pissed literally, coz your way above the social norm for drinking.
Drinking is only good as an adjunct to a meal, or get completely hammered; the inbetween is a no-man's land.
GBL shouldn't be used anywhere but at home, with a pipette.
Just one more point, if your gonna prep at home with booze, listen to your favourite music, walk around, dance, go outside, don't just hammer.
Do not mix and match. GBL, Benzodazipine or any other drug that uses the GABA receptor sites, golden rule NO.1 when drinking Alcohol, include to the list; Modafinil unless you want the worst headache.
Drinking is a depressant, it won't lift your mood if you feel this way initially.
