advertised everywhere and legal

 

[WithMyLife]

Advertising for booze makes me angry. I can't understand how it can be legal, when advertising cigarettes is illegal.

I've done more harm to myself, my family and my friendships on booze than all the other drugs I've done combined.

Town at a weekend is a nightmare.

Had a great sporting Sunday, watched the Kessler Froch fight. Great outcome I've watched the Nottingham lad since his early BBC fights while he was very much in Calzaghes shadow. He didn't do himself any favours with his pre fight interview but it's good to see him get the recognition he deserves.

Then watched the F1, turned into a parade race which Monaco often does so not as exciting but there was overtaking, Perez in particular was on one and Sutil had agreat race. Shame Lewis missed out on a podium spot down to a late tire change.

It's oh-so-socially acceptable.

For no good reason at all.

 

[Mailmonkey]

I know it's a harmful drug.

But I like it. I like beer, cider...I like some wines, some spirits.

I don't like being drunk but I like to feel the effects...just not to the point of intoxication.

And hangovers are just not dealable with any more, so that usually keeps me just the right side of the line.

It's oh-so-socially acceptable.

For no good reason at all.

It's socially acceptable because it is accepted that people enjoy it and do it anyway. So it's not for no good reason at all.

It's a good reason for it to be legal. And it's the same reason that all drugs we use should be legal.

Except oxy.

 

[Ben So Furry]

Yeah the older you get the harsher the hangover and also blackouts get more common. I'm like you MM, I enjoy a drink but I very much know where to draw the line before I get to the stage where I wake up in some mysterious location with a head feeling like it's been smashed in with a sledgehammer.

Bah I think alcohol can be great, then again I never get angry on the stuff I'm a happy drunk as are my friends (minus one or two).

 

[gayorstraight]

Maybe it's just me.

I always say that I'm 'just staying for a couple' but always end up bowing to peer pressure and accepting the offered drinks.

Hangovers really upset me, the dry mouth, sore skin, headache, depression, tiredness, etc. I suppose it is just poison.

My comment about no good reason:I meant why is alcohol legal when nothing else is? It's ridiculous

 

[Mailmonkey]

Why don't you just leave it then?

It's shit and overpriced.

And if you keep choosing to take it rather than leave it you won't be making the choices for long.

EDIT>>>>>ColtDan stop making a post about oxy then deleting it, it just looks like I'm talking to myself or to GoS in this case.

oxy, I can take it or leave it

 

[gayorstraight]

Hold on a minute! I very rarely drink! Im just saying that when i do, it's hard to leave and go home after a couple because it's fun at the time.

Likewise

I always feel very good off it. mildly euphoric. but once i started doing other drugs i found it a bit crap. but i still love it, gets me buzzing, the catalysit for wild happenings. a lot of people i know end up messy and all emotional off it, sod that

Maybe it's just me.

i used to get all the dry mouth, sore skin, headache etc until i started drinking pints of water inbetween drinks. now i just feel a bit rough sometimes but mainly fine. unless ive really hammered it then i get this metallic taste in my mouth and feel dizzy, then get re-bound anxiety

 

[gayorstraight]

I get home and drown myself in water generally.

I also hate that I eat loads of junk food when pissed which leads of massive guilts the next day

I know GoS, I had to edit my post again cos Dan did one of his magic posts about oxy where he posts, then deletes it, but I've already replied....

Yeah.. I wish more people appreciated the art of getting tipsy and not completely wankered.

I was like that before I decided it was getting a bit out of hand.. couldn't look at a bottle of wine without nomming it on a work night, couldn't just have a couple of drinks in a night. I suspect that weed and psychs may have helped me to stop, but I dunno. Plus side is that I've lost a ton of weight and everyone tells me how healthy I look.

 

[gayorstraight]

Oh MM, I see now! The confusion! Blame Dan

 

[Mailmonkey]

Watched all of series one of Breaking Bad last night on netflix.

Love it, will watch season 2 this evening and tomorrow. Then we can get on with the rest that we haven't seen before.

Off down the allotment in a bit,finish all our planting before the rain comes tonight and tomorrow. Taking my dmt pipe, cider, and weed.

Blame Dan

I do.

 

[Cornishman]

Is that Dan taking Oxy again?

Jesus Christ.
When will he stop?

 

[gayorstraight]

Love breaking bad! Have fun at the allotment, sounds very productive.

From a great set of photos very stylized, but great photography, I've probably linked to this set before, like I've already linked to anything I ever link to

Sorry lol i do it cos it makes a change, its consistent compared to buying dodgy piss poor meph or K, id trade the shit for decent K or meph in a second. i haven't touched the shit in 2 days and have no desire to either
