Hey everyone,
just wanted to post my experience and ask if anyone else feels the same way.
So, just for context: I live in Germany, and I am pretty much an outlier with my opinion on alcohol.
After dabbling with a few drugs and research chemicals, alcohol became less and less appealing to me, mainly because of two things:
One, I don't even like being drunk that much, and two, alcohol is extremely harmful to your body.
I guess you could say being drunk is just not worth it for me most of the time if you compare the risks and the reward - compared to any other drug I did, being drunk was at the bottom of my list.
I drink rarely, maybe once or twice a year, either if I don't have anything else and don't wanna be sober or if I am, for example, at a family party where other drugs - even once like weed which was legalized pretty recently - are looked down upon.
I guess it's ironic then that, even though I don't even particularly like being drunk, once a bit of alcohol has entered my body, it becomes the hardest drug to control for me. Whenever I do drink, I just can't drink in moderation - I never reach a level where I think "Ok, that's nice, I think I've had enough now!"
I just want more and more, simply drinking one beer isn't enough, I always want more.
Probably my favorite drug so far is cannabis - I don't know if it's because of my ADHD and it helps with some of my symptoms or if it's something else, but I love being stoned. If I had the money, I would probably smoke weed or consume edibles from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep.
However, with weed, I always reach a level where I think "Yeah, that's nice, I don't need any more right now, I'm good!"
I have no problem putting a joint down and can go weeks without smoking weed if I need to.
But with alcohol - which I don't even like - I have such a hard time controlling once I begin drinking.
Has anyone else a similar reaction/experience with alcohol? Maybe a factor in all of this is that I have at least two alcoholics in my family that I know of - my dad's brother and my mums grandfather were/are alcoholics, and my Dad, while being able to stop anytime he wants, drinks at least one beer at night on a regular basis.
So maybe I am also predisposed to alcohol in a genetic way, but I just wanted to know if anyone else feels the same way and has a hard time controlling alcohol once they start drinking.
